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.

Exact formal proposition

Hypotheses and conclusion

This is the meaningful proposition proved by the checked wrapper declaration. It is extracted from the same commit-pinned Lean source.

def TaoAlmostBoundedColMinStatement : Prop :=
  ∀ f : ℕ → ℝ,
    GrowsToInfinity f →
      HasLogDensity {N : ℕ | 0 < N ∧ (collatzOrbitMin N : ℝ) < f N} 1
Definitions used in this proposition

GrowsToInfinity

def GrowsToInfinity (f : ℕ → ℝ) : Prop :=
  Tendsto f atTop atTop

HasLogDensity

def HasLogDensity (s : Set ℕ) (d : ℝ) : Prop :=
  Tendsto (fun N : ℕ => logCountingRatio s N) atTop (nhds d)

collatzOrbitMin

noncomputable def collatzOrbitMin (N : ℕ) : ℕ :=
  sInf (collatzOrbitValues N)
Lean wrapper declaration

The checked endpoint names the expanded proposition above. Both come from the same commit-pinned source.

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.

Reproduce or inspect the recorded check

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 bindings

Publication reviews accepted

All four required publication-review gates are accepted for the retained presentation of this exact theorem. The review bindings are recorded separately from the Lean build and do not broaden the formal statement.
