A proof workflow cycles through failure, adversarial audit, and repair
burny_tech · x · 2026-07-23
The post describes a continual research loop for proof work:
attempt → failure → diagnosis → new approach → proof draft → adversarial audit → repair
The key idea is that the model repeatedly discards broken ideas, attacks its own arguments, and strengthens the proof until it can no longer find substantive gaps. It is a workflow for iterative verification, not a single-pass generation recipe.
