Main conjecture on fusible numbers

If x is a fusible number and y is its successor, then the interval [x + 1, y + 1) can be divided into intervals [ℓₙ, ℓₙ₊₁), such that the fusible numbers in [ℓₙ, ℓₙ₊₁) are obtained by fusing the n + 1st successor of x with a fusible number. Th...

Mathematical statement

If x is a fusible number and y is its successor, then the interval [x + 1, y + 1) can be divided into intervals [ℓₙ, ℓₙ₊₁), such that the fusible numbers in [ℓₙ, ℓₙ₊₁) are obtained by fusing the n + 1st successor of x with a fusible number. This formalization differs from Conjecture 7.1 in the paper in four ways: (1) it is obtained from Conjecture 7.1 by plugging in n + 1 into n, which simplifies the expressions and removes the need to assume n ≥ 1; (2) the n + 1st successor s^(n+1)(x) is replaced by the explicit value x + (2 - 1 / 2 ^ n) * m; (3) instead of defining y to be the successor of x, we assert that there is no fusible number strictly between x and y; (4) instead of using ∃ z, IsFusible z ∧ q = s^(n+1)(x) ~ z we use the value of z determined by the equality, namely z = 2 * q - 1 - s^(n+1)(x), and it is easy to see z ∈ [x + 1 - m / 2 ^ n, x + 1) as required.

Statement artifacts, not proofs

These records expose exact Lean propositions and statement-only wrappers. Defining a proposition does not supply a proof of it. A placeholder-bearing target also contains no proof. Elaboration checks syntax and types; it does not certify that a formalization perfectly captures every nuance of the informal problem.
