Existence-Notion Separation

Abstract

Formability, proof, construction, model existence, and realization are distinct predicates.

Definition 1.1 (Model existence).

Lean statement: D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/ExistenceNotionSeparation.HasModel

Formalization. D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/ExistenceNotionSeparation.HasModel (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

A model exists exactly when the externally supplied model predicate has a witness.

Definition 1.2 (Realization).

Lean statement: D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/ExistenceNotionSeparation.Realized

Formalization. D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/ExistenceNotionSeparation.Realized (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Realization is an externally supplied relation between a model and a constructed object.

Theorem 1.3 (Mathematical existence notions separate).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/ConceptDynamics/ExistenceNotionSeparation.mathematical_existence_notions_separate (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

False is a formed proposition without a proof, and Empty is a formed type without a construction. Every explicit construction nevertheless supplies a Nonempty witness.

External model and realization predicates each admit explicit positive and negative examples. The theorem therefore compares the formal notions without elevating one philosophical doctrine into a kernel fact.
