Congruence mod m is transitive

Identifier: F:nat-mod-eq-trans
Proof route: kernel-lean
External status: proved
Axiom footprint: Empty

Recorded description

For every natural number m and naturals a, b, c: if a is congruent to b modulo m and b is congruent to c modulo m, then a is congruent to c modulo m.

Formal statement

theorem Nat.mod_eq_trans : ((x0 : AxNat) -> ((x1 : AxNat) -> ((x2 : AxNat) -> ((x3 : AxNat) -> ((x4 : AxNat.modEq x0 x1 x2) -> ((x5 : AxNat.modEq x0 x2 x3) -> AxNat.modEq x0 x1 x3))))))

Evidence

kernel-mod_eq_trans

Kind: kernel-term
Status: checked

Supports: Nat.mod_eq_trans 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 -- Nat.mod_eq_trans 2>/dev/null | grep -Ec '^Nat\.mod_eq_trans[[: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-mod_eq_trans

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.
