Stable checked-use theorem · independently closed

Order witnesses compose by addition, so the defined order is transitive.

Current library: Alpha v34, 4,223 checked-use theorems; Stable remains 432. Historical first admissions, original proof editions, and non-admitted aliases are preserved. Exact original first-admission records.

Order witnesses compose by addition, so the defined order is transitive.

Use the direct prerequisites add_assoc as previously established PA formulas.

The proof proceeds by case analysis (2), certified simplification (1).
