Laws to Prove

Category Laws

-- Identity laws
theorem left_id : ∀ f : A → B, id ∘ f = f
theorem right_id : ∀ f : A → B, f ∘ id = f

-- Associativity
theorem assoc : ∀ f g h, (h ∘ g) ∘ f = h ∘ (g ∘ f)

Monad Laws

-- For App monad
theorem monad_left_id : ∀ a f, pure a >>= f = f a
theorem monad_right_id : ∀ m, m >>= pure = m
theorem monad_assoc : ∀ m f g, (m >>= f) >>= g = m >>= (λx. f x >>= g)

Kleisli Laws

-- Kleisli composition laws
theorem kleisli_left_id : ∀ f, pure >=> f = f
theorem kleisli_right_id : ∀ f, f >=> pure = f

External Validation

cd artifacts/v{N}/verify/proofs
lake build

# Expected output:
# Build successful
# or
# error: ... (with location)

Handling Sorries

When a proof requires sorry:

1. Document why — In the law entry
2. Categorize — Is it fundamental or implementation-specific?
3. Plan resolution — What's needed to complete proof?

Acceptable sorries:

• Implementation-specific (need concrete code to prove)
• External dependencies (DB semantics, etc.)

Unacceptable sorries:

• Category laws (must prove)
• Functor preservation (must prove)
• Contradictions (indicates design error)

Validation Checklist

• All .lean files created
• lakefile.lean valid
• lake build succeeds (exit code 0)
• All category laws proven or justified
• All functor laws proven
• Transformation naturality stated
• laws-report.yaml generated

Fallback: Property-Based Testing with Hypothesis

• Use sorry without justification — Document why
• Generate invalid Lean — Must compile
