kernel-Nat.succ_pred_prime

Kind: kernel-term
Status: checked

Supports: ∀ {p : ℕ}, Nat.Prime p → p.pred.succ = p

Checker command

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

Evidence notes

`build_nat_prelude` admits `Nat.succ_pred_prime` 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. `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. Primality is spelled inline (`2 ≤ p ∧ ∀ d, d ∣ p → d = 1 ∨ d = p`) rather than through a named `Nat.Prime` predicate. `pos_implies_succ_pred` (`finite.rs`), applied to a prime's own positivity witness, gives `p = succ (pred p)`; `Eq.symm` flips it to the goal `succ (pred p) = p`.

footprint-Nat.succ_pred_prime

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 [].
