What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · claude-opus-5-5
The declaration asserts that the real number satisfies the property UpperBound (in the namespace PiIrrationality), where the decimal literal is read as the exact rational real number (not a floating-point approximation). The theorem takes no hypotheses or arguments. Unfolding the definition, the statement says: for every real there exists a natural number such that for every integer and every natural number with and ,
where is the real constant , is ordinary real division (well-defined since ), is the real absolute value, and is the real power of the positive real to the real exponent . Points to note: the inequality is strict; may depend on (but not on or ), so only the finitely many denominators are exempt and nothing is claimed about them; ranges over all integers, need not be in lowest terms, and is excluded by the hypothesis ; the case is covered whenever , in which case the claim reads for all integers . In words: for every , every rational approximation to with sufficiently large denominator satisfies .
