Show HN: Formally verified 3D CSG: Trust 93 lines spec, not 1000 lines AI code
A human reviewer only needs to read 93 lines of formal specification and run the Lean checker as described below to certify the correctness of the kernel, skipping the intricate 1000+ lines of AI-written implementation. To prove correctness, AI autonomously wrote over 60,000 lines of Lean proofs, which also never have to be inspected by a human. The Lean checker guarantees conformance to the specification at compile time, with zero trust placed in any LLM.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Formally verified 3D mesh intersection - trust 93 lines of spec, not 1000+ lines of AI-written code To my knowledge, this is the first formally verified implementation of a 3D constructive solid geometry (CSG) operation: mesh intersection, implemented in Lean 4 and verified against a concise specification that pins down the surface of the resulting mesh exactly and guarantees practical well-formedness conditions on the triangulation. (See also related work.) This project is also an experiment in avoiding having to trust AI-generated code. A human reviewer only needs to read 93 lines of formal specification and run the Lean checker as described below to certify the correctness of the kernel, skipping the intricate 1000+ lines of AI-written implementation.
