Hi,
The main problem, when it comes to proof writing
with proof assistants. Its just like code writing.
Basically fire and forget, either you document or
you dont document, but you want to flush your
brain and move on to other problems. So most
of the Isabelle/HOL proofs are large essays
written over many months, and the author has
disembodied himself from the topics. So these
proofs never satisfy the cringe Terrence Tao,
requirement which is copied from a PhD
examination playbook:
"My own suggested rule of thumb: if the authors
cannot convincingly demonstrate that they are able
to give a clear, expert-level talk on their results, one
that is correct and properly attributed, then the result
should not be published. A proof that no human
can properly explain should be viewed as incomplete,
even if it has been formally verified."
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.16753
What you can try is a kind of V-model disciplin,
and write done higher level specs as well.
But sometimes traceability between layers is
quite brittle, you will do it informally. The cringe
Terrence Tao requirement wouldn't work either
for the books that Terrence Tao wrote, or any
other "tome" by any other author on this planet.
In case of Terrence Tao it wont work, because he
Terrence Tao maybe dead tomorrow, or because
I doubt that he remembers all his books he wrote,
and all the spontaneous rationals, in his books.
Its allways fire and forget, so that others or yourself
can pick it up, in case they/you need something, and read it.
Bye
The fire and forget and externalization of knowledge
is possibly best explained in Luhmans Zettelkasten:

Hi,
 So the Chinese Room Argument, whether
the Chinese in the room only follows rules
or not, is not relevant now.
 What we do want, is no Chinese in the Room
anymore. Is it really Chinese? Basically the
stupid Academic Elite with its publication
 Monopole, and their "Review Processes"
which is totally fake, are frightened to death.
They put a lot of effort in creating a new

  "Finally, it is particularly necessary to

who in elaborating on the ideas of Marx and
Engels, developed a materialistic theory of
consciousness as a reflection of activity.
Attention should also be given to the Lenistic
statement of the fact that non-living matter
may also possess this property of reflection."

It's considered at least tangentially relevant to comp.lang.c and
comp.lang.c++ because for example text is ubiquitous and the targets
would be low-level, while the higher-level languages would have a
same sort of patternry, and for example that libc and cstdlib are
standard, and as with regards to POSIX and Unicode and so on.
