polyDegreeLt: the PROPOSITION that a coefficient function vanishes past a bound, not a computed degree

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

Recorded description

CReal.polyDegreeLt c n := forall k, n <= k -> Equiv (c k) zero -- c has degree less than n, stated as a proposition quantifying over all sufficiently large indices, NOT as a computed integer degree. Over CReal this is the only option: both CReal.Equiv and CReal.le are undecidable, so no coefficient can be tested for zero to compute an actual degree. A total, axiom-free definition.

Formal statement

def CReal.polyDegreeLt : ((x0 : ((x0 : AxNat) -> CReal)) -> ((x1 : AxNat) -> Prop))

Evidence

kernel-CReal.polyDegreeLt

Kind: kernel-term
Status: checked

Supports: CReal.polyDegreeLt 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 kernel_declaration_projection -- --require-declaration CReal.polyDegreeLt --require-kind definition 2>/dev/null | grep -cE '^found[[:space:]]creal[[:space:]]definition[[:space:]]CReal\.polyDegreeLt[[:space:]]'

Evidence notes

CReal.polyDegreeLt is a Declaration::Definition. theorem_dependency_inventory / nat_theorem_inventory / prelude_theorem_inventory all filter to Declaration::Theorem and exclude Definitions/Inductives, so this fact uses the DIRECT 'kernel_declaration_projection --require-declaration' checker: it searches every constructed prelude's environment for an exact display-name match and exits non-zero on no match or kind mismatch. Verified on this tree: the command prints exactly one 'found\tcreal\tdefinition\tCReal.polyDegreeLt\t...' line. --release is MANDATORY: this tool also builds creal/complex/cpoint, which overflow the default debug thread stack.

footprint-CReal.polyDegreeLt

Kind: exhaustive-enumeration
Status: checked

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

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, including CReal.polyDegreeLt, since a declaration cannot depend on a trusted declaration the environment does not contain. --require-axiom-free <name> errors for a prelude never built by this run rather than silently passing on zero rows. --release is MANDATORY here.

That output was piped to a scratchpad file and the exact row for this declaration's own prelude label was extracted and injected here programmatically (a Python script reading the TSV, never hand-transcribed); crates/ source was not touched to produce this batch."
