mul_le_mul_left

Stable checked-use theorem · independently closed

Left multiplication preserves the witness-defined order.

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.
