…ate (#133) Updates the human + machine documentation to reflect the 2026-05-20 discharge of `eval_deterministic` (PR #24, this branch): - PROOF-STATUS-2026-05-18.md - axiom row: ~121 → ~120; `eval_deterministic` removed from the "example post-T0 audit" list with an explicit discharge note. - Tier-0 status: post-T0 marked "in progress" (1/~120 discharged). - "RESUME HERE" preamble: status block summarising the rebase + the proof shape + Print Assumptions report. - "Next frontier": ~121 → ~120, eval_deterministic noted as 1 discharged. - .machine_readable/6a2/STATE.a2ml - last-updated: 2026-02-05 → 2026-05-20. - components.coq-proofs: replaced the stale "81 Qed, 19 Admitted, 6 Defined, 63 Axioms" line (pre-rescue snapshot) with current state — 11/11 files compile, 0 Admitted, ~120 axioms with 1 discharged. - components.lean4-proofs: "syntax-complete, needs verification" replaced with "lake build 1631/1632 green, verified 2026-05-20". - components.agda-proofs: 40 → 60 (CNO.agda type-checks clean per PROOF-STATUS-2026-05-18 verification). - blockers.high: dropped "19 Admitted proofs" (rescue resolved them) and "No local coqc" (resolved); kept "Python interpreters violate RSR". - blockers.medium: added the ~120 axiom audit as a tracked item. - critical-next-actions: rotated to "PR #24 review + merge" then "Begin classification sweep of remaining ~120 axioms". - session-history: prepended 2026-05-20 (this work) and 2026-05-18 (rescue work) entries. - maintenance-status: refreshed to 2026-05-20, last-result = pass. - .machine_readable/META.scm + .machine_readable/6a2/META.a2ml - last-updated bumped to 2026-05-20 (A2ML side). - Architecture decisions: added ADR-006 (state_eq PC-exclusion, the semantic decision underpinning the rescue) and ADR-007 (this PR's discharge of eval_deterministic via step_deterministic_strong). No content changes outside docs; this is documentation-only and stacks on the proof commit `6f93e98` already in this PR.

The "100% complete / 0 Admitted" claim was inaccurate: proofs/coq/common/
CNO.v did not compile at all. This repairs the Tier-0 keystone.
CNO.v (now compiles clean under Coq 8.20):
- eval_app (both dirs): brittle inversion-autoname -> shape/derivation
- state_eq_refl: removed dead `unfold mem_eq` ("No such goal")
- cno_composition/empty_is_cno/nop_is_cno: robust nested split, fresh names
- SOUNDNESS FIX: state_eq drops the program-counter conjunct (every
instruction advances PC, so the old def made every non-empty CNO false;
nop_is_cno was unprovable). state_eq = memory + registers + I/O.
- cno_equiv_sym: inline component flip (no Symmetric instance)
- cno_eval_on_equal_states: real logic bug (wrong existential witness)
- state_eq/_trans/_sym: 4 -> 3 conjunct refactor
Complex.v (new): self-contained complex numbers (C = R*R). Replaces the
non-existent Coq.Complex.Complex; Coquelicot rejected (mathcomp2 + HB +
coq-elpi weight for shallow usage). Quantum files rewired to CNO.Complex;
build convention standardized to CNO.CNO / CNO.Complex.
PROOF-STATUS-2026-05-18.md: honest per-file proof-debt ledger correcting
the prior inaccurate completion docs.
Verified: Agda proofs/agda/CNO.agda clean; common/CNO.v and
common/Complex.v compile clean.

Not yet compiling — banking progress (long thread, timeout-prone): - QME: omega->lia (x3); qubit_dim lia-pow guarded (unfold+simpl); hadamard entries forced %R (C_scope captured real `/`); (k>=..)%nat - QuantumCNO: declared `Parameter Cexp`; removed 4 axioms now PROVED in CNO.Complex (Cmult_1_l/assoc, Cconj_RtoC/mult); moved global_phase axiom after its gate def; `exists (-θ)%R` Remaining: QME:167 (apply_matrix_2), QuantumCNO:194 (Cexp_add rewrite shape) — see PROOF-STATUS-2026-05-18.md.

Swarm WIP for standards#133 (Lean CNO cons-case + Coq tier-0 rebuild) was uncommitted in the shared clone with no branch. Only the 12 modified proof source files are committed (build artifacts excluded); NOT proof-checked yet — Phase-1 agent continues with coqc/lake as oracle. Adds .lake gitignore guard. Refs hyperpolymath/standards#124, #133
…ng (#133)
CNO.v previously declared `eval_deterministic` as an Axiom with an
in-file note that it "could be proven by induction on the evaluation
relation". This commit does that proof — the determinism is genuine, not
assumed.
Adds:
- Lemma `step_deterministic_strong : forall s i s1 s2,
step s i s1 -> step s i s2 -> s1 = s2`
(syntactic equality, not =st= — the `step` constructors produce
`mkState …` whose components are functions of the start state and
instruction; the auxiliary witnesses in `step_load`/`step_store`/
`step_add` are pinned by their hypotheses, e.g. `state_memory s
addr = val`, so two derivations yield the same `val`.)
- Theorem `eval_deterministic` (replacing the prior Axiom) — induction
on the eval derivation, with step_deterministic_strong forcing the
intermediate state to coincide so the IH closes the tail.
Verification:
- `coqc -R common CNO common/CNO.v` → exit 0 (Coq 8.18.0).
- `Print Assumptions eval_deterministic.` → "Closed under the global
context" (no axioms, no admits).
- `Print Assumptions cno_equiv_refl.` → likewise closed (the sole
in-tree caller of `eval_deterministic`, unchanged in name and type).
- All 11 Coq proof files under proofs/coq/{common,quantum,lambda,
physics,malbolge,category,filesystem} recompile clean.
- Full `lake build` over proofs/lean4 → 1631/1632 targets green
(Lean side untouched by this change; build re-verified for absence
of regression).
This addresses the residual `eval_deterministic` arm under
hyperpolymath/standards#133 (the rescue branch's `PROOF-STATUS-2026-05-18.md`
named it explicitly as a "post-T0 axiom audit" target). The ~120 other
Coq `Axiom`/`Parameter` declarations remain — they are separate audit
work (legitimate model assumption vs. avoidable proof shortcut).

…actor (PR #26) Audit of the remaining ~120 axioms after PR #24 identified 2 genuinely unsound axioms and ~115 legitimate model-layer assumptions. **Deleted as unsound:** `eval_respects_state_eq_right` and `eval_respects_state_eq_left`. Both stated forms cannot hold under the rescue branch's PC-excluding `state_eq` (ADR-006) — eval propagates PC deterministically while `=st=` ignores it, so [eval p s s' /\ s' =st= s''] does not in general imply [eval p s s'']. The in-file TODO ("prove by induction") was unprovable. **Downstream refactor:** - `cno_eval_on_equal_states` re-proved using `cno_terminates` alone (different existential witnesses suffice — the lemma is a termination iff). - `cno_logically_reversible` re-proved after weakening the `logically_reversible` definition to observational form (uses `=st=` instead of strict `=`). No theory lost: `bennett_logical_implies_thermodynamic` body never used its hypothesis (explicit comment in source). **Verification:** all 11 Coq files compile clean; `Print Assumptions` on `cno_eval_on_equal_states` and `cno_logically_reversible` → "Closed under the global context"; `bennett_logical_implies_thermodynamic` depends only on the abstract `shannon_entropy` Parameter (model layer, not a proof escape). **Net effect:** 75 → 73 Axioms (deleted 2, no replacement). 42 Parameters unchanged. Remaining 73 + 42 are model-layer assumptions; discharging requires first defining the underlying Parameter (out of scope). **Docs:** PROOF-STATUS-2026-05-18.md ledger refreshed; ADR-008 added (META.scm + META.a2ml) recording the deletion + weakening + rationale; STATE.a2ml session-history prepended.

…n + downstream refactor (#31) Audit of the remaining ~120 Axiom/Parameter declarations after PR #24 identified TWO genuinely unsound axioms (the rest are legitimate model-layer assumptions about abstract Parameters — physics constants, quantum gate primitives, POSIX semantics, Y combinator non-termination, the intentionally-typed hom_functor). The unsound pair: Axiom eval_respects_state_eq_right : forall p s s' s'', eval p s s' -> s' =st= s'' -> eval p s s''. Axiom eval_respects_state_eq_left : forall p s s' s'', eval p s' s'' -> s =st= s' -> eval p s s''. These cannot hold under the rescue branch's PC-excluding [state_eq] (memory + registers + I/O — see ADR-006): two states can be [=st=] yet carry different [state_pc], while [eval] deterministically propagates PC through every step constructor. The axiomatised conclusion would force a syntactically-identical eval result, which is impossible without coincidental PC match. The TODO comment in CNO.v acknowledged "prove this axiom by induction on eval structure" — a proof attempt hits the PC mismatch and fails. This commit *deletes* both axioms outright and refactors the only two consumers: - [cno_eval_on_equal_states] (CNO.v, line ~662) — previously chose the same existential witness for both forward and backward directions, needing [eval_respects_state_eq_left]. The lemma states a termination *iff*; different witnesses suffice. Re-proved using [cno_terminates] alone (witnesses from is_CNO p, no axiom). `Print Assumptions cno_eval_on_equal_states.` → "Closed under the global context". - [cno_logically_reversible] (StatMech.v, line ~296) — previously produced [eval p s' s] from [eval p s' s''] + [s'' =st= s] via [eval_respects_state_eq_right]. Cannot hold; reflects the dual unsoundness. Resolved by weakening the *definition* of [logically_reversible] to observational reversibility: Definition logically_reversible (p : Program) : Prop := exists p_inv, forall s s', eval p s s' -> exists s'', eval p_inv s' s'' /\ s'' =st= s. This is the level at which thermodynamic reversibility actually holds: memory + registers + I/O are the bits of physical record; the PC is bookkeeping. No theory is lost — the only theorem citing the strong [logically_reversible] form is [bennett_logical_implies_thermodynamic], whose proof body never uses its hypothesis (explicit "the logically_reversible hypothesis is not used" comment in the source). `Print Assumptions cno_logically_reversible.` → "Closed under the global context". Verification (build-is-oracle): - `coqc -R common CNO common/CNO.v` exit 0 (Coq 8.18.0). - All 11 Coq files under proofs/coq/{common,quantum,lambda,physics, malbolge,category,filesystem} recompile clean. - `Print Assumptions {cno_eval_on_equal_states, cno_logically_reversible, bennett_logical_implies_thermodynamic}` — first two report "Closed under the global context"; the third reports only the abstract Parameter [shannon_entropy] (legitimate model layer, not a proof escape).

Summary
Two-part deliverable under
hyperpolymath/standards#133(the absolute-zero arm of the estate proof-debt epicstandards#124):Rebase the long-standing
proof-debt/standards-133-coq-rescue-wipbranch onto currentorigin/main(it was 4 ahead / 7 behind; rebase was clean, no conflicts). This restores main soundness eligibility — the rescue work was originally committed 2026-05-18 in an[UNVERIFIED]state withPROOF-STATUS-2026-05-18.mdnoting "the keystone Coq fileCNO.vdid not compile at all" before the repair.Discharge
eval_deterministic— the file's standout proof-debt postulate. CNO.v previously declared it as anAxiomwith an in-file admission that it "could be proven by induction on the evaluation relation". This PR does that proof:Lemma step_deterministic_strong— syntactic equality of step results given matching inputs (step s i s1 → step s i s2 → s1 = s2). Holds becausestepconstructors emitmkState …whose components are functions of the start state + instruction, and the auxiliary witnesses instep_load/step_store/step_addare pinned by their hypotheses (e.g.state_memory s addr = val).Theorem eval_deterministic(replacing the priorAxiom, same name and type — the sole in-tree callercno_equiv_reflis unchanged) — induction on the eval derivation;step_deterministic_strongforces the intermediate state to coincide so the IH closes the tail.Verification (build-is-oracle)
coqc -R common CNO common/CNO.v→ exit 0 on Coq 8.18.0 (rescue branch was originally repaired against 8.20.1; the new proof is portable).Print Assumptions eval_deterministic.→ "Closed under the global context" (no axioms, no admits).Print Assumptions step_deterministic_strong.→ likewise closed.Print Assumptions cno_equiv_refl.→ likewise closed (downstream consumer).proofs/coq/{common,quantum,lambda,physics,malbolge,category,filesystem}recompile clean.lake buildoverproofs/lean4→ 1631/1632 targets green (Lean untouched by this change; re-verified for absence of regression).What this does NOT close
Per the rescue branch's own
PROOF-STATUS-2026-05-18.md, there are still ~120 other CoqAxiom/Parameterdeclarations across the corpus (cno_decidable,eval_respects_state_eq_left/right, the physics/quantum model assumptions, etc.). That is a separate audit task — classify legitimate model assumptions vs avoidable proof shortcuts. This PR addresses the single most-cited one and the only one the file itself flagged as "could be proven".Test plan
