Statement

The Kelly identity and the common-factor cancellation behind the aggregate logical inductor's weight path are checked in Lean in the clean-room style.

Source

The identity is a finite algebraic fact: in a parimutuel market where each agent stakes its whole wealth in proportion to its predictive distribution, wealth shares after an observation history equal Bayesian mixture weights, and the common normalizing factor cancels from the shares. Applied to Critch's recursion for Pareto-optimal policies of agents with different priors (Critch and Russell, "Servant of Many Masters", arXiv:1701.01302), the normalized weights are such wealth shares. The weight-path reading is the filing session's; no public write-up of it exists yet.
