Kind: kernel-term
Status: checked

Supports: ∀ (m n : ℕ), m.lcm n = n.lcm m

Checker command

Evidence notes

`build_nat_prelude` admits `Nat.lcm_comm` through the trusted `Kernel::add_declaration` gate (declared in `nat_prelude/lcm.rs`'s `declare_lcm_comm`, landed before this session). Route: each of `lcm a b`/`lcm b a` divides the other (`dvd_lcm_left`/`dvd_lcm_right` fed into `lcm_dvd` with the endpoints swapped), and `dvd_antisymm` closes the equality. `nat_theorem_inventory`'s rendered type for `Nat.lcm_comm` is `((x0 : AxNat) -> ((x1 : AxNat) -> Eq.{1} AxNat (AxNat.lcm x0 x1) (AxNat.lcm x1 x0)))`, matching this fact's `formal.statement` verbatim (`x0`/`x1`/`x2` are the universally quantified variables in order). `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.

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 (via `theorem_names`, which now lists it), and `lcm_gcd_lemmas_apply_at_concrete_discriminating_instances` re-checks it at a concrete instantiation chosen to discriminate a swapped argument or a wrong disjunct/conclusion order via `def_eq` plus a genuinely false negative control rejected by `declare_theorem`.
