GitHub user micah541 published a repo formalizing all of Theodore J. Kaczynski's published mathematical papers and his 1964–1969 doctoral dissertation in Lean 4 — about 22,400 lines built on Mathlib.
- Includes a self-contained blueprint proving every result (mostly boundary behavior of functions in the disk and half-plane, plus a new proof of Wedderburn's theorem);
- Full Lean 4 formalization plus an ERRATA.md documenting publication errors;
- The repo contains a CLAUDE.md, suggesting AI-assisted formalization.
The poster quipped "he would love this."
