NPA / Certificate-first proof checking

繁體中文:NPA: expose the proof evidence boundary before trusting a result.

繁體中文: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.

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

Public status

繁體中文:State what is public, what is evidence, and when it was rechecked.

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

公開狀態

繁體中文:Research and implementation repository

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

Public recheck

2026-07-02

繁體中文: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

繁體中文:The source snapshot records canonical .npcert, certificate_hash, export_hash, axiom_report_hash, and checker verdicts.

License

Apache-2.0 verified

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

Boundary

繁體中文: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

繁體中文:Move only a canonical certificate across the evidence boundary.

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

繁體中文: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.

繁體中文:Proof pipeline / explanatory simulation

繁體中文:Show the exact pipeline from certificate bytes to checking evidence.

繁體中文: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.

Claim register

繁體中文:Separate evidence, time-sensitive facts, and boundary claims.

繁體中文: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.

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

Repositories and license

繁體中文:Keep code, package repositories, and organization visibility explicit.

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

FAQ

繁體中文:NPA status and verification boundaries.

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

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

繁體中文:From proof discipline to operations

繁體中文:Use the same evidence discipline when a business decision must be trusted.

繁體中文: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.
