Field record / every checked step explained

Development Notebook

Every Lean module gets a companion field entry: physical motivation, mathematical construction, proof architecture, code, commands, and what remains open.

Begin at physical intuition Climb through mathematics Arrive at checked Lean

This is the expedition log. Each entry begins with a phenomenon worth understanding, builds the mathematical objects it needs, and then opens the corresponding Lean file line by line. You can read chronologically to watch the library grow or enter through the topic that brought you here.

An entry is not a changelog. It is a complete guided lesson with runnable commands, proof-state commentary, explicit limitations, and links into the stable textbook material in the Knowledge Base. New entries begin as local Hugo drafts until their claims, references, code, and teaching path are ready to share. The current corpus is published openly as work in progress: an Open working note badge means that publication has not been represented as completed editorial, technical, or external review.
