The in-force event at time t is the disjoint sum of death in year t and still being in force at t+1.

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · gpt-6

Independent mathematical reading. For any natural K and t, being in force at time t means either death occurs during year t or the policy remains in force at time t+1. These outcomes are disjoint and exhaustive, so the real indicator 1[t≤K] equals 1[K=t]+1[t+1≤K]. The theorem is a pointwise identity, not a mortality-probability formula.
