Fact ledger
Axeyum's typed collection of claims, evidence, assumptions, and dependencies.
Definition
Fact ledger
The fact ledger stores each accepted or proposed fact with its formal statement, status, proof route, evidence, provenance, and dependency edges.
Facts can arrive through different routes, including solver evidence, computer-algebra checks, and kernel terms. The route determines what was checked and what remains trusted.
01
Example
A ledger record for a theorem can link to its kernel declaration, list an empty axiom footprint, and name the facts it uses.
02
Important distinction
A common schema does not make all proof routes equally strong. Readers must inspect the route and evidence fields.
