UnverifiedEvidence provided by a true verification tool should allow users to independently verify without needing to trust the tool, the agent, or anyone's summary; the criterion is whether a stranger can recalculate the proof themselves and arrive at the same result.78% similarUnverifiedThe conclusions of mechanistic interpretability research can be independently verified and falsified through controlled experiments, giving them scientific significance—unlike self-descriptions elicited by prompt engineering.77% similarUnverified形式化验证工具通常面临表达能力与可扩展性的权衡，可验证的断言类型受限于工具本身的理论支持77% similarUnverifiedMachine-generated mathematical proofs require line-by-line checking and formal verification by human experts before they can be accepted by the mathematical community76% similarVerifiedFormal proof systems (such as Lean, Coq, and Isabelle) require every reasoning step to conform to a predefined axiomatic system and be mechanically verified by computer75% similar
