Kind: kernel-term
Status: checked

Supports: ∀ (n k : ℕ), k.factorial ∣ n.descFactorial k

Checker command

Evidence notes

`build_nat_prelude` admits `Nat.factorial_dvd_descFactorial` through the trusted `Kernel::add_declaration` gate. Route: `Nat.descFactorial_eq_factorial_mul_choose : n.descFactorial k = k! * n.choose k` (declared alongside, `desc_factorial.rs`), proved by induction on `n` with `k` generalized inside the motive, using the front-peel identity `Nat.descFactorial_succ_eq_succ_mul : (succ n).descFactorial (succ k) = succ n * n.descFactorial k` (a separate induction on `k`, `n` fixed), `Nat.succ_mul_choose_eq`, `mul_left_comm`, `mul_assoc` and `factorial_succ`. `factorial_dvd_descFactorial` itself is then `Nat.dvd_mul : a ∣ a*q` transported along that bridge equation. `nat_theorem_inventory` exits non-zero for a name that does not exist, and the `grep -c` count (tested `-ge 1`, not piped into `grep -q`) requires the admitted declaration to actually be printed.

footprint-Nat.factorial_dvd_descFactorial

Kind: exhaustive-enumeration
Status: checked

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

Checker command

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

Evidence notes

`nat_axiom_inventory --require-axiom-free nat` enumerates the built Nat environment 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 []. `nat_prelude_tests::every_nat_declaration_is_checked_and_axiom_free` additionally checks this theorem's own `Kernel::axiom_footprint` directly (not merely the environment-wide bound), by name, in-tree.
