e is the limit of its own defining exponential-series partial sums

Identifier: F:creal-e-converges
Proof route: kernel-lean
External status: proved
Axiom footprint: Empty

Recorded description

Converges expSeriesPartial e -- e's own defining property, and the missing link every other property of e (two_le_e, e_le_three, e_le_four) is built on. Built by reproducing the general converges_of_cauchy construction's own 'minor' closure directly against the CONCRETE data (K, the exp_series_partial_body witness) that also built CReal.e, rather than running it through Exists-elimination over an abstract Cauchy witness: the existential route can only produce Converges f L for an OPAQUE L bound inside the proof, never for the literal declared e.

Formal statement

Evidence

kernel-CReal.e_converges

Kind: kernel-term
Status: checked

Supports: CReal.e_converges is admitted by the trusted kernel gate with the type recorded in formal.statement.

Checker command

cargo run -q --release -p axeyum-lean-kernel --example theorem_dependency_inventory -- e_converges 2>/dev/null | grep -cE '^CReal\.e_converges[[:space:]]'

Evidence notes

build_creal_prelude admits CReal.e_converges through the trusted Kernel::add_declaration gate. theorem_dependency_inventory exits non-zero for a named filter matching nothing; grep -c (never -q) both consumes the pipe and asserts the exact tab-anchored line is present. Verified on this tree: the command currently prints exactly one matching line for CReal.e_converges. --release is MANDATORY: this tool also builds creal/complex/cpoint, which overflow the default debug thread stack.

footprint-CReal.e_converges

Kind: exhaustive-enumeration
Status: checked

Supports: axiom_footprint: [] -- the creal prelude's trusted surface is empty, which bounds CReal.e_converges

Checker command

cargo run -q --release -p axeyum-lean-kernel --example nat_axiom_inventory -- --include-constructed --require-axiom-free creal

Evidence notes

Re-measured on this tree: creal: axiom=0 opaque=0 quotient=0 total_trusted=0, exits 0 printing 'ok: creal trusted surface = 0'. That bounds every declaration in the creal environment. --require-axiom-free <name> errors for a prelude never built by this run rather than silently passing on zero rows. --release is MANDATORY here.

Direct dependency edges cross-checked against theorem_dependency_inventory's own output on the same tree. The probe was built and run in the session scratchpad and deleted after use; crates/ source was not touched to produce this batch."
