For every arithmetic expression eee over the 64 registers (built from register tops, literals, +++, negation, selection on sign, multiplication, shifts, floor division, …) that does not mention the eight scratch stacks 56,…,6356,\dots,6356,…,63 (e.Clean) and is defined in state sss (e.ok s), the compiled code e.code zX runs from sss to the state obtained by pushing the value e.eval s on stack 565656, within cost e.cost s.

Formalization Note. IRuns I iprog p s s' c is the item-language big-step semantics with cost bound ccc; zX is the record of scratch stacks used by the expression compiler. The machine layer: IState HS is a state with 646464 stacks of items (Item = integer or mark), an input position and an output; RM programs (straight-line register code RS, loops rep, conditionals, calls of the multiplication procedure through a MulSpec MMM giving its domain and cost) have a functional semantics p.run s, a definedness predicate p.ok M s and a cost p.cost M s; Spec M p s s' c abbreviates p.ok M s ∧ p.run s = s' ∧ p.cost M s ≤ c. ints L / gints U push an integer list / a list of pairs as items (head = top); zsz z is the bit length of ∣z∣|z|∣z∣. MulBnd M m Φ says the multiplication procedure accepts all pairs of integers of bit length ≤m\le m≤m at cost ≤Φ\le Φ≤Φ. Register names (GU, CR, KB, XN, …) are fixed stack indices.

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.
