Stable checked-use theorem · independently closed

A bounded successor prefix exposes a bounded final decoded value.

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.

A bounded successor prefix exposes a bounded final decoded value.

Use the direct prerequisites le_refl as previously established PA formulas.

The proof proceeds by equality transport (2).
