# The orientation character and the two-element quotient

This file realizes the index-two result structurally. Summing the boolean flip
coordinates gives a homomorphism to `Bool`; it is the parity/orientation
character. Its kernel is exactly the orientation-preserving sign subgroup, and
in positive dimension the first isomorphism theorem identifies the quotient
with `Bool`.

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.
