Proof Bundle Change Log

2026-10-24

  • Update: Upgraded the bundle to OKF v0.2. Every proof now carries the trust fields resource (its public page URL under /okf/proofs/), sources (Chapter 1: History of Fractal Mathematics, the page whose quantitative claims the proofs back), a generated event (human:tswetnam, 2026-07-13) and status: stable; the v0.1 timestamp key was dropped and result, concept, historical_source and verification_status were kept unchanged. index.md now declares okf_version: "0.2" and links the concept bundle root as ../concepts/index.md (was the directory ../concepts/). Proof bodies are unchanged.
  • Update: The verified event (human:tswetnam, 2026-07-13) is carried only by proofs whose steps were actually checked (verification_status: verified or partially-verified, 11 proofs); mandelbrot-boundary-dimension.md is unverified by design (it rests entirely on Shishikura's theorem) and no longer claims a review stamp.
  • Update: Retagged six proofs with the site's controlled tag vocabulary (scripts/validate_okf.py): complex-dimensions-cantor.md (dimension-theory, complex-dimensions, spectral-geometry, classics, complex-analysis), julia-connectedness.md (complex-dynamics, topology, complex-analysis), mandelbrot-escape.md (complex-dynamics, complex-analysis, methods), self-affine-spectral.md (stochastic, self-affinity, hurst, signal-processing, scaling), wbe-quarter-power.md (biological, allometry, metabolic-scaling, scaling, branching) and weierstrass-nondifferentiability.md (foundations, classics, geometry). Bodies are unchanged.

  • Update: Added 3 proof documents while addressing the gaps memo — menger-sponge-dimension.md (\(\log 20/\log 3 \approx 2.7268\), verified), barnsley-fern-dimension.md (box-counting \(\approx 1.83\) from 2M chaos-game points, partially-verified — no closed form as the OSC fails), and mandelbrot-boundary-dimension.md (Shishikura's \(\dim_H\partial\mathcal{M}=2\), deliberately unverified as a template for cited-but-uncomputable results). Bundle now holds 12 proofs.
  • Creation: Initialized the okf/proofs/ OKF v0.1 bundle with 9 type: Fractal Proof documents capturing the quantitative results stated in docs/foundations/history.md. All 13 checkable quantitative claims on the history page were machine-verified (SymPy / NumPy) in the fractal-proof environment prior to capture; steps resting on named theorems (Moran, Hardy, Fatou–Julia) are tagged [asserted] with citations.
