>PROVEN_IN_LEAN

What has been formally verified in Lean 4 and how it maps to the 24-constraint chemistry registry. Lean-hard constraints have machine-checked proofs guaranteeing correctness. Hybrid-hard constraints rely on approved toolchain validation with deterministic replay.

LEAN-HARDFormally Verified Constraints (C-01, C-02, C-03)

C-01: charge_balance

Formalized as integer sum over oxidation states = 0 (algebraic closure property). The Lean proof establishes that for any valid chemical compound, the sum of formal charges across all constituent atoms is exactly zero, expressed as a decidable predicate over integer vectors.

C-02: stoichiometry_integer

Positive integer coefficients in balanced equations (natural number constraint). Formalized as a proof that stoichiometric coefficients belong to the positive naturals, with the balancing condition expressed as a linear algebra identity over the composition matrix.

C-03: oxidation_state_valid

Sum-to-charge theorem for multi-element compounds. For any compound with declared element oxidation states, the weighted sum must equal the declared overall charge. This is the compositional closure condition connecting elemental and compound-level invariants.

FOUNDATIONHeyting Algebra Encoding

The Nucleus Bottleneck Autoencoder project proves that Heyting algebra operations (meet, join, residuation) can encode chemical constraint satisfaction. These theorems establish that the constraint checking pipeline has sound algebraic foundations.

closeSelector.idem

Closure idempotence -- applying the constraint check twice yields the same result as applying it once. This guarantees that the validation pipeline is stable and does not introduce spurious state changes.

reluNucleus_idempotent

Activation function respects nucleus properties. The ReLU-based encoding preserves the Heyting algebra structure, ensuring that neural network layers do not violate algebraic invariants.

HeytingOps residuation

Residuation laws for bounded vectors. Establishes the adjunction between meet and implication operations, providing the logical foundation for constraint entailment reasoning.

MAPPINGConstraint Verification Partitioning

3 LEAN-HARD

Fully formalized in Lean 4 with machine-checked proofs. Correctness is guaranteed by the type checker -- no runtime assumptions, no trust in external tools. These constraints (C-01, C-02, C-03) form the algebraic foundation that all other constraints build upon.

21 HYBRID-HARD

Validated by approved toolchain packages + deterministic replay. Correctness assumes the toolchain is faithful (spglib computes symmetries correctly, pymatgen parses structures correctly, etc.). Replay determinism (C-24) ensures that the same inputs always produce the same constraint verdicts.

SEMANTIC-CLOSURE-LEAN

Verified Heyting algebra foundations and closure properties used in constraint encoding.

NUCLEUS-BOTTLENECK-AUTOENCODER

Nucleus idempotence and ReLU activation proofs for constraint-safe neural encoding layers.

>CHEMISTRY_LANE_RULES

R-01

All submitted structures must pass the full 24-constraint registry. Partial passes are rejected.

R-02

Toolchain packages must come from the approved allowlist. Unapproved imports trigger automatic rejection.

R-03

Tier 1 submissions run on Lite Node resources only. Heavy Node features (GPU surrogates, DFT) require Tier 2.

R-04

Every artifact must be IPFS-pinned with a valid CID before submission. Local file paths are not accepted.

R-05

Replay determinism is mandatory: re-running your pipeline with the same seed must produce bit-identical outputs.

R-06

Submissions must declare a supported domain (materials, molecules, or reactions) and use matching representation formats.

>CONSTRAINTS_REGISTRY

All 24 constraints must pass for a submission to be accepted. The registry is divided by domain: 3 lean-hard chemistry constraints validated formally, and 21 hybrid-hard constraints validated by toolchain + deterministic replay.
