MATH.23:7 - Conformance Checklist

For the conjecture being developed:

  • The starting construction, established result and receiving use are recoverable.
  • A mathematical change explains why the new question arises.
  • Objects, domains, hypotheses, quantifiers and answer form distinguish the proposed claim.
  • A proof attempt exposes its needed intermediate relation, and the chosen case tests a consequential condition.
  • A counterexample is classified at the claim, lemma or implementation it actually defeats.
  • A repaired hypothesis, construction or conclusion preserves the distinction between the new question and any earlier unsatisfied need.
  • Generality follows from an argument over the stated class; tested cases retain their actual scope.
  • The selected continuation has a useful attainable first operation and retains the earlier construction needed to perform it.
