Excerpts from deposited papers, measurement write-ups and software documentation. Each one links to where it came from. The papers carry DOIs, so the deposited text cannot be changed after the fact, and the documentation links to the file in the repository.

Measurement

Findings that turn on a quantity, and what the quantity is allowed to support.

Asking which constant a theorem's classical dependence is responsible to is not the same as asking which constants its proof touches, and the answers are far apart. 116,766 theorems reach the order lemma lt_or_eq_of_le; 2,018 would stop being classical if it were rebuilt.

The Dominator Table · DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21900625

It does not say how far each use travels, and the two are wildly different: 324,808 theorems depend on choice while 18,109 declarations spend it.

The Module Spend Table

For Mathlib that is 13.1% of theorems, against a figure of 55% that circulates without a measurement behind it.

The result is a boundary rather than a gradient. norm_num introduces the axiom of choice on all 15 order goals (≤, <, ≥ over Nat and Int) and on none of the 12 equality and divisibility goals.

The Controlled Tactic Table

15 of these 20 sites contain no direct use of a choice primitive anywhere in their subtree.

The Spend-Point Table

Stating a limit

What the work does not establish, written down where the result is.

It does not assert that tau(20) = 19448 or tau(21) = 29768; both remain open, and other constructions are not excluded.

The added-vector code of the odd-sign construction is maximal · DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21702301

For n = 6 an unstructured search converged back to Fejes Toth's own configuration and produced no improvement; that is reported as a negative result, not as evidence of optimality.

Certified upper bounds for Fejes Toth's point-goalie problem · DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21729548

The method therefore constitutes a screening stimulus generator, not a measurement instrument, and cannot classify deficiency type or grade severity.

A Procedural Method for Generating Pseudoisochromatic Plates · DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21310577

Unsupervised recovery of the figure/ground assignment itself was also attempted and fails: recall reaches 100% on ten plates while precision falls to 38 to 63% on the vanishing plates, with no confidence signal distinguishing successes from failures.

Pseudoisochromatic plate design type is recoverable from delivered color and dot geometry alone · DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21876790

A library reaching 61% of its theorems with the axiom of choice has made a design decision, not an error.

Kernel Trust Profile

Method

Why a number is trustworthy, or why an earlier one is not.

Compile failures are held out of every figure here; a corpus targeting Lean 4.27 measured under 4.32 would otherwise report version drift as a property of the proofs.

What machine-generated Lean proofs rest on

A previous run over the same question returned 404 synthesis timeouts against this run's 12, and had no not-a-goal category at all, so nearly every site it could not clean was recorded as a time limit being hit.

The Site Diagnosis Table

Of 114 occurrences only 21 were testable at all. The rest occur under binders, where the proposition is not closed and cannot be handed to instance synthesis from outside its declaration.

The Substitution Ledger

Argument

Openings and load-bearing claims from the written papers.

This document does not explain Modulign.

The Formal Logic of Modulign · DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19350848

Every classification system presupposes an observer.

The Epistemology of Observation · DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19726226

The evidentiary problem of AI-generated content is not a disclosure problem.

The Classification Deficit · DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19578570

not because any rule prohibits its admission, but because its address structure formally encodes the absence of the causal chain that observational authentication requires

Documentation

Software documentation, including the parts a reader is entitled to be warned about.

keyj play installs a system-wide keyboard listener, which is the same machinery a keylogger uses.

keyj-cli README

If node is not installed the parity checks skip and say so, because a check that cannot run must not report success.

keyj-cli README

A tab in a tuning that does not exist comes back with .error set and no notes, rather than raising.

keyj-js README

so the package and the page cannot answer differently

keyj-js README

Dark grey on navy measured 2.64:1 where body text needs 4.5, and a person found that, not a build.

Three gates for defects a linter does not have an opinion about, because none of them is a syntax error.

Both halves matter: a gate that cannot tell those apart gets switched off.
