Recorded description

For natural numbers a and b, if a <= b then either a < b or a = b.

Formal statement

theorem Nat.lt_or_eq_of_le : ((x0 : AxNat) -> ((x1 : AxNat) -> ((x2 : AxNat.le x0 x1) -> Or (AxNat.lt x0 x1) (Eq.{1} AxNat x0 x1))))

Evidence

kernel-lt_or_eq_of_le

Kind: kernel-term
Status: checked

Supports: Nat.lt_or_eq_of_le is admitted by the trusted kernel gate with the type recorded in formal.statement.

Checker command

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

Evidence notes

`build_nat_prelude` admits this theorem only through the trusted kernel gate, so a successful build IS the type-check; the command both performs it and prints the admitted type, which is copied verbatim into formal.statement.

footprint-lt_or_eq_of_le

Kind: instance-pin
Status: checked

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

Checker command

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

Evidence notes

Reports `nat: axiom=0 opaque=0 quotient=0 total_trusted=0`, over the FULL trusted surface rather than Declaration::Axiom alone. The enumeration is per-environment, not per-theorem; it bounds this theorem's footprint because a proof cannot depend on a trusted declaration the environment does not contain.
