What it does

Measures what a formal library actually assumes — its axioms, and the interface assumptions that get counted alongside them — across Rocq, Agda and Isabelle, read from source with nothing compiled.

pip install axsent
axsent <path-to-library>

Why nothing is built

A census that requires building the library can only measure libraries that still build. That silently excludes the old, the abandoned and the ones pinned to a compiler nobody has — which is a biased sample of exactly the wrong kind, because those are the ones whose assumptions nobody has looked at lately.

The finding behind it

Every census of this kind conflates two different things: assumptions that are mathematical, and assumptions that are about the interface to the outside world. They are counted together and reported as one number. Separating them is most of what this tool is for, and the measurements are written up in the papers.
