Could you build this?
No Original mathematical research and formal proof generation requires deep domain expertise in pure mathematics and formal verification languages.
What it would actually take: Requires writing formal mathematical proofs in verification systems such as Lean 4, Coq, or Isabelle, supported by deep theoretical knowledge of the specific mathematical field. Automated theorem provers or LLMs can assist with proof search, but constructing novel lemmas and verifying proof closure cannot be vibe-coded without specialized mathematical training.
