Statement

The claim asserts that discounting a violation's price by predicted approval lets a certain line-crossing beat asking. The declaration certifies, at discount one with approval predicted certain, that the discounted evaluation of the option is its bid, that the queue's evaluation is below it, and that the exchange rate's threshold is then below one. The gap: the guard's necessity witness is a two-line computation on the kernel's evaluation at the extreme discount; the claim's generality (any discounting) is read from this one witness.
