Exact recorded Lean statement

The declaration this evidence supports

theorem positive_density (X : ℕ) (hX : cutoff ≤ X) :
    (densityConstant : ℝ) * X ≤ (countBelow (523 / 50) X : ℝ)

Line counts exclude blank lines; comments and documentation count. The total is the commit-pinned first-party Lean import closure; Mathlib and other third-party dependencies are excluded.

Lean foundations

Standard foundations used by the proof

Lean reports the logical foundations below through Mathlib. They are standard proof-system foundations, not conjectural mathematical assumptions about this theorem. The recorded closure stays within the approved classical_mathlib_standard profile, with no unexpected axiom or unfinished-proof placeholder.

Use the complete first-party source bundle for reconstruction, or inspect the exact main file and checker evidence separately. Mathlib and other third-party dependencies are identified but not rebundled.

Review results

Public review decisions

Accepted-result publication remains pending. This public release is not presented as a ProofAtlas accepted result; that does not establish which individual reviews are unfinished.

These are publicly visible recorded decisions for the named subjects, not a new review of this page. A decision not displayed here is not evidence that its review is unfinished. Individual decisions do not establish public accepted-result status.

Release chronology

This version is part of the release history. No independent external timestamp is claimed.

Scope of this release

  • Independent paper-to-formal-statement alignment and current publication review remain separate. Claude’s source-reported manuscript review grants no ProofAtlas review status.
  • Positive lower natural density of convergence within 10.46 ln n ordinary steps does not establish density-one convergence, practical cutoffs, optimality, priority, or the full Collatz conjecture.
  • The exact AI model versions are not specified in the manuscript disclosure and are not inferred.
  • The linked artifact retains the successful owning-target lake --rehash build transcript, clean source provenance, no-sorry results and axiom checks of all four public roots for theorem-specific source 830b9d3f38f2a8da8cd921bf6a9310dd69336fd0. Pinned Mathlib caches were reused; no all-dependency cold rebuild, independent LeanChecker replay, smallest-possible-proof claim, or paper-wide review is asserted.
  • The paper and infographic have hosting permission, with no general open-content license. The source archive retains its separate Apache-2.0 license and third-party notices.
  • The v2.1 mathematical manuscript body, bibliography, authorship and source-stated AI roles are unchanged; this packaging and hosting successor does not create a new scholarly contribution or event. Historical source pins are provenance, not claimed ancestry of the parentless slim repository.
