Congruence mod n is transitive on the integers

Identifier: F:int-modeq-trans
Proof route: kernel-lean
External status: proved
Axiom footprint: Empty

Recorded description

For all integers n, a, b and c: if a is congruent to b modulo n and b is congruent to c modulo n, then a is congruent to c modulo n.

Formal statement

theorem Int.modEq_trans : ((x0 : Int) -> ((x1 : Int) -> ((x2 : Int) -> ((x3 : Int) -> ((x4 : Int.ModEq x0 x1 x2) -> ((x5 : Int.ModEq x0 x2 x3) -> Int.ModEq x0 x1 x3))))))

Evidence

kernel-Int.modEq_trans

Kind: kernel-term
Status: checked

Supports: For all integers n, a, b and c: if a is congruent to b modulo n and b is congruent to c modulo n, then a is congruent to c modulo n.

Checker command

test "$(cargo run -q -p axeyum-lean-kernel --example int_theorem_inventory -- modEq_trans 2>/dev/null | grep -Ec '^theorem[[:space:]]+Int\.modEq_trans[[:space:]]')" -ge 1

Evidence notes

`build_int_prelude` admits this theorem through the trusted `Kernel::add_declaration` gate, which re-checks the proof term against the stated type, so producing this row at all is a machine-checked proof. `int_theorem_inventory` exits non-zero for a name that does not exist, and the `grep -q` requires the admitted `theorem`-kind row to be printed.

footprint-Int.modEq_trans

Kind: exhaustive-enumeration
Status: checked

Supports: axiom_footprint: [] -- the Int prelude's trusted surface is empty

Checker command

cargo run -q -p axeyum-lean-kernel --example nat_axiom_inventory -- --require-axiom-free integer

Evidence notes

`nat_axiom_inventory --require-axiom-free integer` enumerates the built Int environment (which nests the Nat development) and exits non-zero unless it admits no Axiom, Opaque or Quotient declaration (measured: axiom=0 opaque=0 quotient=0). A theorem cannot depend on a trusted declaration the environment does not contain, so an empty trusted surface bounds every individual theorem's footprint by [].
