Kiswahili: Back to Math Lab

NPA / Certificate-first proof checking

Kiswahili: NPA: expose the proof evidence boundary before trusting a result.

Kiswahili: This page reconstructs the NPA section from Math Lab as an independent evidence page: public status, trust model, proof pipeline, claim register, repositories, sources, and explicit non-replacement language.

Kiswahili: Apache-2.0 was verified for npa, npa-std, and npa-mathlib on 2026-07-02.

Kiswahili: Public recheck: 2026-07-02. The NPA repository latest git tag is v0.2.0; npa-std is v0.1.0; npa-mathlib is v0.1.30. Package README pins are shown as repository-specific context and are not flattened into one NPA version claim.

Kiswahili: The visual is a static preview of the certificate-checking result and trust-boundary explanation. It is not a live NPA trace.

Public status

Kiswahili: State what is public, what is evidence, and when it was rechecked.

Kiswahili: This page makes the page's basis visible: a local truth snapshot, a public repository source, and the final prelaunch readback date.

Hali ya umma

Kiswahili: Research and implementation repository

Kiswahili: The GitHub repository is public, but this page describes a research and implementation repository, not a deployed service.

Public recheck

2026-07-02

Kiswahili: The public-source readback was completed on 2026-07-02. The original source reconstruction still uses the 2026-06-21 local truth snapshot.

Evidence

Certificates and hashes

Kiswahili: The source snapshot records canonical .npcert, certificate_hash, export_hash, axiom_report_hash, and checker verdicts.

License

Apache-2.0 verified

Kiswahili: Apache-2.0 was verified for npa, npa-std, and npa-mathlib through public LICENSE metadata on 2026-07-02.

Boundary

Kiswahili: NPA is not a practical replacement for Lean or Rocq. The distributed browser inspection simulation does not run NPA itself. Public tags, license, and repository visibility were checked on 2026-07-02 for the final publication readback.

Trust boundary

Kiswahili: Move only a canonical certificate across the evidence boundary.

Kiswahili: The boundary is not about which tool looks sophisticated. It is about which artifact is allowed to become evidence after independent checking.

Kiswahili: Parser, elaborator, tactics, automation, theorem search, plugins, AI systems, source files, replay files, theorem indexes, publish plans, CI status, release pages, and registry metadata stay on the untrusted candidate side.

Kiswahili: Proof pipeline / explanatory simulation

Kiswahili: Show the exact pipeline from certificate bytes to checking evidence.

Kiswahili: The browser simulation does not run NPA itself, Rust, WASM, or real proof certificates. It visualizes the source-free checking order that real artifacts must satisfy.

Verdict

Kiswahili: The explanatory pipeline has not run yet.

Kiswahili: Run the explanation to mark the source-free checking path in order.

Claim register

Kiswahili: Separate evidence, time-sensitive facts, and boundary claims.

Kiswahili: The page does not depend on loose research copy. Each public statement is tied to a local truth snapshot, a source, and a publication action.

Kiswahili: ClaimKiswahili: Public wordingHaliKiswahili: SourceKiswahili: Publication action
CL-001 Kiswahili: NPA is certificate-first: the auditable boundary is the canonical .npcert artifact and the checking path around it. Kiswahili: Verified public claim S01 / 2026-07-02 Kiswahili: Review when the README changes.
CL-002 Kiswahili: The 2026-07-02 public recheck found the NPA repository latest git tag at v0.2.0. Related package READMEs still show repository-specific pins, so version wording stays scoped by repository. Kiswahili: Verified public recheck S01 / S02 / 2026-07-02 Kiswahili: Keep tag wording scoped by repository.
CL-003 Kiswahili: The local truth snapshot records a Rust 1.95.0 toolchain pin; it is not used as a marketing claim. Kiswahili: Verified, time-sensitive S01 / 2026-07-02 Kiswahili: Recheck if the toolchain version is displayed.
CL-004 Kiswahili: NPA is not a practical replacement for Lean or Rocq. This boundary must stay visible beside any comparison. Kiswahili: Verified boundary claim S01 / S03 / S05 / 2026-07-02 Kiswahili: Retain the disclaimer.
CL-005 Kiswahili: npa-std and npa-mathlib are separate public theorem-package repositories in the finitefield-org organization. Kiswahili: Verified public claim S01 / S02 / 2026-07-02 Kiswahili: Recheck repository visibility again if publication is delayed or repositories change.
CL-006 Kiswahili: The npa, npa-std, and npa-mathlib repositories each expose Apache-2.0 licensing through their public LICENSE metadata. Kiswahili: Verified public claim S01 / S02 / 2026-07-02 Kiswahili: Recheck LICENSE on a major release.

Repositories and license

Kiswahili: Keep code, package repositories, and organization visibility explicit.

Kiswahili: Repository links are public-source pointers, not guarantees that the current page is synchronized with the latest GitHub state.

Proof ecosystem guard

Kiswahili: Clarify roles before comparing proof tools.

Kiswahili: This is a role table, not a ranking. Lean and Rocq remain the reference proof-assistant ecosystems; NPA is presented as certificate-centered research and implementation work.

FAQ

Kiswahili: NPA status and verification boundaries.

Kiswahili: The answers emphasize the trust boundary before readers confuse a research page with a deployed proof-assistant service.

Kiswahili: Read about the company
01 Kiswahili: Is this page a product guarantee?
Kiswahili: No. NPA is shown here as a research and implementation repository.
02 Kiswahili: Can NPA replace Lean or Rocq?
Kiswahili: No. NPA is not a practical replacement for Lean or Rocq.
03 Kiswahili: Does the page run real NPA verification?
Kiswahili: No. The browser simulation does not run NPA itself, Rust, WASM, or real proof certificates.
04 Kiswahili: What counts as evidence here?
Kiswahili: The certificate artifact, deterministic hashes, Rust kernel/verifier result, source-free reference checker result, and axiom report form the checking-side evidence.
05 Kiswahili: Which facts need rechecking?
Kiswahili: Current public version, repository visibility, toolchain pins, license text, and source wording were rechecked on 2026-07-02.

Kiswahili: From proof discipline to operations

Kiswahili: Use the same evidence discipline when a business decision must be trusted.

Kiswahili: For business systems, the useful lesson is not to add theorem proving everywhere. It is to decide what must be generated, checked, logged, corrected, and approved by people.
