It applies equality saturation — a technique for exploring exponentially many equivalent program forms simultaneously — to tensor computation graphs, with every rewrite rule carrying a machine-checked proof of semantic preservation.\n\nUnlike existing systems that verify rewrites with SMT solvers or Datalog, SuperTensor-lean uses constructive proofs in a dependently typed proof assistant. An unsound rewrite rule literally cannot be constructed: the `SoundTensorRule` type requires `sound : ∀ env, lhs.eval env = rhs.eval env` as a field, making the optimizer correct by construction rather than by testing.\n\n## The Problem\n\nTensor compilers (XLA, TVM, TensorRT, ONNX Runtime, PyTorch Inductor) apply hundreds of graph rewrite rules to optimize deep learning workloads. These rewrites are unverified: PolyJuice (OOPSLA 2024) found **84 bugs** in production tensor compilers by fuzzing their rewrite rules, with 49 confirmed by developers — each corresponding to an invalid transformation that silently produces wrong numerical results.\n\nCurrent approaches to this problem are partial:\n- **TensorRight** (POPL 2025) verifies rules via SMT but does not generate code\n- **TENSAT** optimizes with ILP extraction but does not verify rules\n- **Constable** (OOPSLA 2025) optimizes with fusion awareness but without formal verification\n- **Scalify** verifies graph properties via Datalog but without a proof assistant\n- None produce constructive proofs that can be independently checked\n\n## How It Works\n\n```\nInput: ONNX Computation Graph\n  |\n  |  Parse (12 ops: MatMul, Add, Mul, Reshape, Transpose, ReduceSum, ...)\n  v\nTensorExpr  (rank-k DSL, 17 constructors, shapes indexed by List Nat)\n  |\n  |  Flatten to e-graph (each subexpr → e-class)\n  v\nE-Graph  (verified union-find + hashcons, 230+ theorems)\n  |\n  |  Equality saturation with 48 verified rewrite rules\n  |  Strategy: exhaustive | MCTS-guided | hybrid\n  |  Compiled decision-tree matcher (Gross 2022)\n  |  (each rule: lhs.eval env = rhs.eval env, machine-checked)\n  v\nE-Graph with Equivalences\n  |\n  |  E-graph ↔ monotone circuit bijection (Sun et al. 2024)\n  |  Circuit simplification (verified semantics-preserving)\n  |  Extraction: greedy | ILP | treewidth DP | smart routing\n  |  Cost model: flat, shape-aware, GPU/CPU-aware, lexicographic\n  v\nOptimized TensorExpr\n  |\n  |  Lower to TensorSigma IR (loop/tile/fuse/par)\n  |  SemanticPreservation: lower_kernelCount_eq_opCount (CompCert-style)\n  v\nTensorSigma\n  |\n  |  Code generation\n  v\nC / Rust / CUDA code\n```\n\n**Soundness argument:** Rules carry proofs. Translation validation independently checks the optimization via 21 congruence theorems. The cost model only affects performance, not correctness. The e-graph engine itself is NOT in the trusted computing base — even if the engine has a bug, the final result is validated. Semantic preservation is verified at each IR boundary via CompCert-style forward simulation.\n\n## Where It Fits in the ML Pipeline\n\n```\nFramework          Export           Graph Optimizer          Hardware Compiler\n---------          ------           ---------------          -----------------\nPyTorch    ---->   ONNX    ---->   SuperTensor-lean  ---->   CUDA kernels\nJAX        ---->   StableHLO       (verified rewrites)       CPU SIMD\nTensorFlow ---->                                             Custom accelerators\n```\n\nSuperTensor-lean replaces the **unverified graph rewrite pass** in systems like XLA, TVM, and TensorRT with formally verified equivalence-preserving transformations. It accepts standard ONNX input and produces standard C/Rust/CUDA output, making it compatible with existing ML compiler ecosystems without requiring changes upstream or downstream.\n\n## Competitive Landscape\n\n| System | Verifies Rules | Constructive Proofs | Extraction | Circuit Bijection | Generates Code | LOC |\n|--------|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|\n| TensorRight (POPL 2025) | SMT | No | — | No | No | — |\n| TENSAT (Yang 2021) | No | No | ILP | No | Yes | — |\n| Constable (OOPSLA 2025) | No | No | Greedy | No | Yes | — |\n| extraction-gym (2024) | No | No | 8 methods | No | No | — |\n| faster-ilp-cbc (2024) | No | No | ILP (CBC) | No | No | — |\n| **SuperTensor-lean** | **Constructive** | **Lean 4** | **6 verified** | **First mechanization** | **C/Rust/CUDA** | **~19,100** |\n\n## Main Contribution\n\nThe core insight is embedding the soundness proof into the rule's type:\n\n```lean\nstructure SoundTensorRule (α : Type) [CommRing α] (s : List Nat) where\n  lhs   : TensorExpr α s\n  rhs   : TensorExpr α s\n  sound : ∀ env : TensorEnv α, lhs.eval env = rhs.eval env\n  name  : String\n```\n\nThis makes the optimizer **verified by construction**: you cannot add a rule to the system without providing a machine-checked proof that it preserves semantics for all possible inputs. The 48 rules in the current system span four categories:\n\n- **15 algebraic rules**: commutativity, associativity, distributivity, negation, scalar multiplication, matmul associativity\n- **15 fusion rules**: matmul-neg fusion, scalar factoring, reshape composition, triple negation\n- **12 operation rules**: negation/addition/multiplication through broadcast, slice, concat, pad, transpose, reshape, reduce, contract\n- **6 tiling rules**: verified tile split/merge with shape preservation proofs\n\nEach rule is proved once and trusted forever.\n\n## Quick Start\n\n```bash\n# Requires Lean 4 v4.26.0 (lean-toolchain specifies exact version)\nlake build\n\n# Run the 12-section compilable demo (0 errors, 0 sorry)\nlake env lean demo_walkthrough_supertensor.lean\n```\n\nExpected output: **0 sorry**.
