Special Functions: factorial normalization, Block16

Read side by side

SF-LEAN-B16 proves all-index factorial normalization of the exact rational binomial derivative arrays: A_n=(2n+1)!u_n and B_n=(2n+1)!v_n. This holds for arbitrary rational scales, including signed and noncontracting data. A finite paired append-array model is proved equal to the inclusive prefix; enumerating and dividing by (2n+1)! gives the ordinary coefficient array. Its enumerate/multiply/sum polynomial equals the certified polynomial. Under strict positive contractions and adequate majorant fuel, the resulting exact rational endpoints enclose the actual real canonical functions.

There are 30 new theorem declarations, for 435 registered names. All 63 fresh replay steps pass across sixteen coupled modules: 396 theorem axiom audits, sixteen kernel replays, four expected rejections and one positive fixture. The finite core's 39-name evidence is inherited and Mathlib imports are cached. Review provenance is self-review.

The report, claim map, review, source, I/O inventory and receipt bind the extension. Formal I/O records 56 inputs, 64 packaged outputs, sixteen generated objects and 37 staging copies; the separate source assessment records 34 inputs and two outputs. Development sources and logs are labeled separately from accepted proof evidence.

Replay tools/verify_coupled_normalization.py with Lean 4.34.0-rc2, Mathlib aeb72f1e9981b6d35b426b16dca7759be3e7ba06 and a new external directory. It installs nothing and makes no network request.

The Lean list and exact rational operations are mathematical specifications. Full Python refinement remains open, including interpreter/Fraction/stdlib semantics, validation and mutation, guarded disk-majorant loop/resource failures and returned dictionary behavior. Next: prove successful ladder traces match the fuel majorant and preserve step/bit errors. Other J degree/denominator/symmetry, ancillary F/H, I and broad A-E coverage remain. Ordinary type convergence is conditional. No whole-book percentage is claimed. See the live continuation and remaining work.
