Filipino: Research and implementation repository
Filipino: The GitHub repository is public, but this page describes a research and implementation repository, not a deployed service.
NPA / Certificate-first proof checking
Filipino: 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.
Filipino: 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.
Public status
Filipino: This page makes the page's basis visible: a local truth snapshot, a public repository source, and the final prelaunch readback date.
Filipino: The GitHub repository is public, but this page describes a research and implementation repository, not a deployed service.
Filipino: The public-source readback was completed on 2026-07-02. The original source reconstruction still uses the 2026-06-21 local truth snapshot.
Filipino: The source snapshot records canonical .npcert, certificate_hash, export_hash, axiom_report_hash, and checker verdicts.
Filipino: Apache-2.0 was verified for npa, npa-std, and npa-mathlib through public LICENSE metadata on 2026-07-02.
Boundary
Filipino: 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
Filipino: The boundary is not about which tool looks sophisticated. It is about which artifact is allowed to become evidence after independent checking.
Filipino: 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.
Filipino: Proof pipeline / explanatory simulation
Filipino: 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
Filipino: The explanatory pipeline has not run yet.Filipino: Run the explanation to mark the source-free checking path in order.
Claim register
Filipino: 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.
| Filipino: Claim | Filipino: Public wording | Status | Filipino: Source | Filipino: Publication action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CL-001 | Filipino: NPA is certificate-first: the auditable boundary is the canonical .npcert artifact and the checking path around it. | Filipino: Verified public claim | S01 / 2026-07-02 | Filipino: Review when the README changes. |
| CL-002 | Filipino: 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. | Filipino: Verified public recheck | S01 / S02 / 2026-07-02 | Filipino: Keep tag wording scoped by repository. |
| CL-003 | Filipino: The local truth snapshot records a Rust 1.95.0 toolchain pin; it is not used as a marketing claim. | Filipino: Verified, time-sensitive | S01 / 2026-07-02 | Filipino: Recheck if the toolchain version is displayed. |
| CL-004 | Filipino: NPA is not a practical replacement for Lean or Rocq. This boundary must stay visible beside any comparison. | Filipino: Verified boundary claim | S01 / S03 / S05 / 2026-07-02 | Filipino: Retain the disclaimer. |
| CL-005 | Filipino: npa-std and npa-mathlib are separate public theorem-package repositories in the finitefield-org organization. | Filipino: Verified public claim | S01 / S02 / 2026-07-02 | Filipino: Recheck repository visibility again if publication is delayed or repositories change. |
| CL-006 | Filipino: The npa, npa-std, and npa-mathlib repositories each expose Apache-2.0 licensing through their public LICENSE metadata. | Filipino: Verified public claim | S01 / S02 / 2026-07-02 | Filipino: Recheck LICENSE on a major release. |

Proof ecosystem guard
Filipino: 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.
| Filipino: Item | Lean | Rocq | NPA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Filipino: Position | Filipino: Open-source programming language and proof assistant. | Filipino: Interactive theorem prover with a long research history. | Filipino: Research and implementation repository for certificate-first checking. |
| Filipino: Typical use | Filipino: Mathematics, software verification, and programming. | Filipino: Mathematics, specifications, program verification, and extraction. | Filipino: Research into proof certificates, independent checking, and a small trusted base. |
| Filipino: Evidence boundary | Filipino: Its own trusted kernel and ecosystem define the checking boundary. | Filipino: Its own kernel and checked developments define the checking boundary. | Filipino: The canonical .npcert artifact crosses from generation into checking. |
| Filipino: How this page treats it | Filipino: Reference for learning, comparison, and interoperability. | Filipino: Reference for learning, comparison, and formalization methods. | Filipino: Finite Field research project, not a product promise. |
| Filipino: Boundary | Filipino: Specialist knowledge is still required. | Filipino: Specialist knowledge is still required. | Filipino: NPA is not a practical replacement for Lean or Rocq at this time. |

Filipino: 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.
