With just a shared database and git, 1,000 agents wrote a kernel-checked proof 7x shorter

Lance Martin explains the experiment's motivation: test whether 1,000 agents on an early Fable 5.2 could reproduce the earlier Fermat formalization without Prove2Me scaffolding or researcher steering.

The team coordinated using only a shared database and git, producing a kernel-checked proof one-seventh the length of the September version, which had used dozens of agents, an internal model, the Prove2Me platform, and researcher direction.
