Current Status - 2026-02-05

✅ Tasks COMPLETED (Today)

1. License Standardization ✅ DONE

  • Time: ~30 minutes
  • Result: Both repos (absolute-zero + echidna) use PMPL-1.0-or-later
  • Commits: 2 (absolute-zero: cbeb34a, echidna: 482892e)
  • Files: 79 files updated

2. Roadmap Update ✅ DONE

  • Time: ~45 minutes
  • Result: 7-year roadmap with architectural clarity
  • Documents: 5 comprehensive docs (~3000 lines)
  • Commit: ca5979b

3. ECHIDNA Integration ✅ DONE

  • Time: ~30 minutes
  • Result: Scripts, Justfile recipes, ready to use
  • Status: Can now run just echidna-list, just echidna-suggest, etc.
  • Commit: c181523

⏳ Tasks IN PROGRESS (Now)

4. Proof Completion 🟡 STARTED

  • Status: Attempted 1 proof (StatMech.v:cno_logically_reversible)
  • Discovery: Proofs are more complex than initially estimated
  • Insight: Need systematic approach with ECHIDNA + manual refinement
  • Plan: Created PROOF-COMPLETION-PLAN.adoc (6-week strategy)

What I learned:

  • These are research-level proofs, not simple exercises
  • Need helper lemmas (state equality with eval relation)
  • Requires careful proof engineering

Timeline Reality Check

What's Done (2 hours)

  • ✅ Infrastructure setup (licenses, docs, integration)
  • ✅ Ready to work on proofs
  • 🟡 Started proof work, understand complexity

What Remains (6 weeks estimated)

  • 🎯 Complete 27 Admitted proofs
    • Week 1: Classify + 5 easy proofs
    • Week 2-3: 15 medium proofs + helper lemmas
    • Week 4-5: 7 hard proofs
    • Week 6: Verification + container

Honest Assessment

Completed quickly (today):

  • License fixes
  • Documentation
  • Tool integration
  • Planning

Will take time (weeks):

  • Actual proof completion
  • Writing helper lemmas
  • Cross-verification
  • Container integration

Reason: Proofs require deep understanding of:

  • Coq proof tactics
  • Program semantics
  • State equality reasoning
  • Thermodynamics/physics

Next Immediate Steps

Today (finish session):

  1. Commit proof completion plan
  2. Update STATE.scm with progress
  3. Summarize achievements

Tomorrow (start proof work):

  1. Classify all 27 proofs by difficulty
  2. Attempt 1-2 easy proofs with ECHIDNA
  3. Build confidence with small wins

This Week:

  • Complete 5 easy proofs
  • Identify required helper lemmas
  • Daily commits

Realistic v1.0 Timeline

  • Today: Infrastructure ✅ (100%)
  • Week 1: Easy proofs (5/27) - 18% complete
  • Week 2-3: Medium proofs (20/27) - 74% complete
  • Week 4-5: Hard proofs (27/27) - 100% complete
  • Week 6: Verification + paper
  • Month 3-6: Paper submission, revisions, v1.0 release

Status: On track, but proof completion is the major work item.

Summary

Today's achievements:

  • Fixed 2 major repos (licenses)
  • Created 5 comprehensive docs
  • Integrated ECHIDNA tool
  • Planned 6-week proof completion strategy

Not achieved yet:

  • Completing 27 proofs (will take weeks, not hours)

Honesty: I set up the infrastructure quickly, but the actual proof work is research-level complexity that requires systematic effort over weeks.
