Statement with defined notation
forall a b c d. exists m. ((((a * d = b * c + m) \/ (b * c = a * d + m))) /\ ((a * a + b * b) * (c * c + d * d) = (a * c + b * d) * (a * c + b * d) + m * m))Every purple notation token opens its conservative definition. This reading surface never changes the unchanged intuitionistic kernel or confers checked-use authority.

Definition-aware tactic body
Only propositions whose conservative expansion has been checked for exact first-order equivalence are compacted. Every changed line retains its immutable exact replay command.
