Kind: kernel-term
Status: checked

Supports: If p holds, then not-not-p holds.

Checker command

test "$(cargo run -q -p axeyum-lean-kernel --example nat_theorem_inventory -- not_not_intro 2>/dev/null | grep -Ec '^not_not_intro[[:space:]]')" -ge 1

Evidence notes

`build_logic_prelude` (built first by `build_nat_prelude`, which `nat_theorem_inventory` constructs) admits `not_not_intro` only through the trusted kernel gate, so this line in the tool's output IS the type-check. Anchored with `grep -Ec '^not_not_intro[[:space:]]'` on the tool's own substring-filtered output, matching exactly one row; a name that does not exist makes both the tool's argument filter and the anchored grep fail (verified both ways 2026-08-25).

Kind: instance-pin
Status: checked

Supports: axiom_footprint: [] -- the logic environment admits no trusted declaration

Checker command

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

Evidence notes

Reports `logic: axiom=0 opaque=0 quotient=0 total_trusted=0`, over the full trusted surface (`Axiom` + `Opaque` + `Quotient`), not `Declaration::Axiom` alone. The enumeration is per-environment, so it bounds this theorem's footprint: a proof admitted into an environment cannot depend on a trusted declaration the environment does not contain. `logic` is the isolated, intuitionistic core (`build_logic_prelude` alone) that `nat` nests -- measured 2026-08-25 with `nat_axiom_inventory --require-axiom-free logic`.
