Open conjecture. For every finite type AAA and arbitrary total operation ⋄:A×A→A\diamond:A\times A\to A⋄:A×A→A, E677 implies E255:

(∀x,y∈A,x=y⋄(x⋄((y⋄x)⋄y)))⟹(∀x∈A,x=((x⋄x)⋄x)⋄x).\left(\forall x,y\in A,\quad x=y\diamond\bigl(x\diamond((y\diamond x)\diamond y)\bigr)\right)\Longrightarrow\left(\forall x\in A,\quad x=((x\diamond x)\diamond x)\diamond x\right).(∀x,y∈A,x=y⋄(x⋄((y⋄x)⋄y)))⟹(∀x∈A,x=((x⋄x)⋄x)⋄x).

Empty finite carriers are included and make both universal statements vacuous.

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · gpt-5.6-luna

For every universe u, finite possibly empty type α:Type u\alpha:\mathrm{Type}\,uα:Typeu, and arbitrary binary operation op⁡:α→α→α\operatorname{op}:\alpha\to\alpha\to\alphaop:α→α→α, if every a,b∈αa,b\in\alphaa,b∈α satisfy a=op⁡(b,op⁡(a,op⁡(op⁡(b,a),b)))a=\operatorname{op}\bigl(b,\operatorname{op}(a,\operatorname{op}(\operatorname{op}(b,a),b))\bigr)a=op(b,op(a,op(op(b,a),b))), then every x∈αx\in\alphax∈α satisfies x=op⁡(op⁡(op⁡(x,x),x),x)x=\operatorname{op}\bigl(\operatorname{op}(\operatorname{op}(x,x),x),x\bigr)x=op(op(op(x,x),x),x); for an empty α\alphaα, both the hypothesis and conclusion are universal propositions holding vacuously.

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
