Lt(a,b)

Witness-defined strict order on natural numbers.

Conservative notation; not a theorem, primitive, or axiom.

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.

Definition in prerequisite notation

S a ≤ b

Only definitions earlier in this acyclic notation graph are used here.

Hygienic expanded first-order definition 
exists h. h + S a = b

The unchanged native kernel never receives this surface symbol. Binder-safe expansion produces only its existing first-order syntax.

Direct definition dependencies

none — first-order arithmetic only
