A structured artifact that binds a formal claim, proof material, and verification result.
DEFINITION AND SCIENCE
What it means
in GenOS.
A proof artifact packages a proposition with machine-checkable proof material and verifier metadata. Acceptance is relative to the formal statement, axioms, and trusted checker.
A structured artifact that binds a formal claim, proof material, and verification result.
Artifact A=(P, proof, kernel, assumptions, result). A valid result means the kernel checked proof : P under assumptions; it does not confirm that P captures the intended real-world claim.

How it works
at a glance.
Package proposition
A structured artifact that binds a formal claim, proof material, and verification result.
Attach proof and assumptions
Artifact A=(P, proof, kernel, assumptions, result). A valid result means the kernel checked proof : P under assumptions; it does not confirm that P captures the intended real-world claim.
Verify checker result
Verify checker result. A proof artifact packages a proposition with machine-checkable proof material and verifier metadata. Acceptance is relative to the formal statement, axioms, and trusted checker.
RUNTIME IMPLEMENTATION
What is connected,
and how far.
The linked, versioned GenOS source defines this concept's supported operations and limits. The status axes describe the implementation and evidence recorded for this entry; they do not establish general mission success, scientific equivalence or behavior beyond that scope.
GenOS records product evidence and has a narrow Lean worker path, but no general machine-checked proof-artifact interface with a declared kernel and assumptions is established.
Failure modes have not yet been separately cataloged for this entry; follow the source and evidence links before relying on the mechanism.
No implementation file is pinned to this concept entry yet.

behind the analogy.
An axiomatic basis for computer programming
C. A. R. Hoare · Communications of the ACM 12(10), 576–580
Sets out axiomatic reasoning about program correctness. A checked property is only as relevant as its specification and assumptions.
