Detecting closed sets from countably many path coordinates

Complete pinned Lean module MarkovProcess.Path.ClosedSetDetection by Scott Armstrong (Apache-2.0). Contains the original definitions, instances, theorems and proofs in their original declaration order. Only local MarkovProcess import directives have been rewritten for Prove2Me; source mathematical declarations are unchanged. The bundle must pass Prove2Me's remote compiler before it can be used as a dependency.

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.
