Follow the story. Try a proof. Let curiosity choose how deep you go.
Walk in through the manga: seventeen chapters, sixty-four pocket pebbles, zero required formulas. The Lean source stays behind glass until you ask for it.
Straight to the mathematicsBegin at the proof map — thousands of named theorems — then climb the full ladder from clock inverses to R = T. The story keeps telling itself beside you; it will keep you honest.
Made for company: one reader who loves math and one who does not — one sofa. Whatever each of you finds carries over to the tea salon.
Seventeen chapters, one extraordinary argument. One small discovery is enough for today.
Pip’s rule: mistakes are clues. Every chapter is open, and every question allows another try.
Lower the level. Empty the room. Close the case.

FinalCheck states the expected axiom dependency set [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound], checks the diagnostic, and derives both an explicit positive-natural formulation and Mathlib’s FermatLastTheorem. Foundational axioms and the adequacy of definitions are different concerns. A kernel check establishes the typed formal claim relative to its foundations; the prose must still explain that claim faithfully.

The contradiction completes the mathematical route we read. This final chapter separates understanding that route, inspecting Lean source, and actually checking it with the Lean kernel. Reading this site does not run that full check.
These links explain the reading route. A story analogy is not a proof of this theorem.

The extremely literal judge
Start with the cake-scale story. You only need to read one small piece at a time. If you are in the Fermat story, start with Story depth, then the words listed before the chapter.
You do not need to know Lean, symbols or university mathematics to begin. Definitions come first in the small stories.
Look at the small example before the general formula. Ask what changed and what stayed the same.
Close this panel to return to the exact place you were reading. These are prepared hints for this page.
