Statement

The UDT 1.01 influence calculus of Posts 6 to 8 is formalized: Lemmas 1 and 2, Theorem 1 under the literal A5 profile with a construal-dependent counterexample, Theorem 2 as tiling, conservation of expected gain and the value of deferral.

Notes

A collaborator's published sequence formalized; the area's single most consequential research claim, that Post 8's Theorem 1 is false as stated, is construal-dependent and the package's register overstates it, which the open hypothesis leaf's action fixes.

Bridge card

Connected to no informal claim yet: held by no frame.

Declaration theorem1 (record udt101-influence-calculus.record)

Bridge (reconstructed; udt101-influence-calculus.bridge, drafted):

The declaration's influence measures and A5 profile are Post 8's as the formalizer read them, so theorem1 is Post 8's Theorem 1 under the formalizer's construal of A5, and Priv.theorem1_fails is a counterexample under the literal profile.

Hypotheses, read:

Completeness (udt101-influence-calculus.complete): No hypothesis beyond the A5 profile and its coherence is needed for the formalized calculus.
