    Dear All,

    Lets posit this Autum Challenge 2025.
    The idea is to forget about Robert St|nrks
    proof framework, although impressive,

    and it can possibly proof:

    a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c

    In the natural numbers. Why not try
    an entropy based iterative deepening,
    and simply find a proof justification

    for the above in a more undisciplined manner:

    Canonical for Automated Theorem Proving in Lean https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.06239

    Unfortunately the above seems to be a Rust
    program. Can we implement it in Prolog itself?
    Disclaimer: Here canonical doesn't meen minimal DFA ,

    just in case Julio Di Egidio thinks otherwise.

    Bye
