What the notation means · or point at any symbol
NNatural numbers
The natural numbers 0, 1, 2, …. In Lean they start at 0. (ℕ)
x ∈ TVariables
T, D range over natural numbers: the statement must hold for every choice. ((T D : ℕ))
Fin
Fin: a definition from the library, not special notation. Its name is its meaning; open it in Lean to see how it is defined. (Fin)
f(x)Function application
Fin applied to T. Lean writes f x; papers write f(x). (Fin T)
∀For all
The statement after the comma holds for every i. (∀ i, ∑ j, P i j = 1)
Finset
Finset: a definition from the library, not special notation. Its name is its meaning; open it in Lean to see how it is defined. (Finset)
-Subtraction
∑ j, ∑ i, P(i, j) · dO(i, c) minus ∑ i, dO(i, c). On ℕ, Lean's subtraction stops at 0: 2 − 5 = 0. (∑ j, ∑ i ∈ S, P i j * dO i c - ∑ i, dO …)
∑Summation
Add up P(i, j) for every j. (∑ j, P i j)
=Equality
∑ j, P(i, j) and 1 are the same. (∑ j, P i j = 1)
⟹Implies
If Fin(T), then ℝ. (Between types, A → B is the type of functions from A to B.) (Fin T → ℝ)
·Multiplication
P(i, j) times dO(i, c). (P i j * dO i c)
RReal numbers
The real numbers: every point on the number line. (ℝ)
−xNegation
The negative of ∑ i, dO(i, c). (-∑ i ∈ Sᶜ, dO i c)
Sᶜ
Sᶜ: a definition from the library, not special notation. Its name is its meaning; open it in Lean to see how it is defined. (Sᶜ)

If the key kernel processes only the query rows in S, then Σⱼ dV′ⱼ − Σᵢ dOᵢ = −Σ_{i∉S} dOᵢ. Missing tiles or heads are detected unless their dO happens to sum to zero. Part of 'Noether checksums for Baguette's backward kernels' (review pass 2).
