Nontermination #
Statements for paper Section 5: Theorem 5.1 (thm:membership), Theorem 5.2 (thm:main) and
the nontermination corollary, together with the injectable-set characterization of
Appendix A. Proofs are deferred.
Formalization boundary: the recursively expressible hierarchy I^exp_t (paper
Definition 2.5, and Lemma 5.10 (lem:expressible) of Section 5.3) is not
formalized; see the header of Defs.lean. The paper's Q(ε,r) ∈ I^exp_t ⊆ I^AI_t ⊆ I^NW_t
is formalized here as its two weaker halves, membership in I^AI_t and in I^NW_t.
Auxiliary facts #
These are general facts that the proofs below need and that the imported files do not state; they are proved here privately.
The two formalized hierarchies #
Paper equation (eq:nested), the part that the formalized definitions express:
I^AI_t ⊆ I^NW_t.
Paper Appendix A.3 (app:injectable): for the triangle, the injectable sets of the
order-t inflation are exactly the subsets of copied triangles.
Theorem 5.1: membership at every finite order #
The defect law with s = 1 - r/(1-ε)^{t-1} witnesses the ancestral-independence
conditions for Q(ε,r): this is the content of paper Section 5.3 for the two formalized
hierarchies.
Paper Theorem 5.1 (thm:membership), ancestral-independence half: for t ≥ 1,
0 < ε < 1 and 0 ≤ r ≤ (1-ε)^{t-1}, the law Q(ε,r) is feasible at order t for the
ancestral-independence hierarchy.
Theorem 5.2: no finite characterizing order #
Paper Theorem 5.2 (thm:main), membership half: P_t ∈ I^AI_t ⊆ I^NW_t.
Paper Theorem 5.2 (thm:main), violation half: the Finner margin of P_t is at least
ε_t²/2 > 0, so P_t ∉ C_tri.
Paper Theorem 5.2 (thm:main), the nontermination corollary: for every finite order t
there is a three-bit law that passes the order-t test and is not triangle compatible, so no
finite order of the hierarchy characterizes C_tri.
The plain name TriangleInflation.no_finite_characterizing_order is reserved for the registry
statement, which PalomarSolutions/TriangleInflation.lean declares and discharges by this
theorem; Comparator identifies the Challenge and the Solution by that one name.
