Why strict inequality needs a hypothesis
THE IDEA
Abstract
The assertion n < n for every natural number is false. The smallest witness n = 0 illustrates explicit counterexample feedback.

Test a universal claim at a boundary value. A single witness disproves it; distinguish the false assertion from the true counterexample claim.

# Why strict inequality needs a hypothesis
SIMULATED EXAMPLE — not original research or a model review.
The assertion n < n for every natural number is false. The smallest witness n = 0 illustrates explicit counterexample feedback.
## Statement and scope
Test a universal claim at a boundary value. A single witness disproves it; distinguish the false assertion from the true counterexample claim.
## Verification limitations
The package contains Lean source for the stated fixture. The MathHub server has not compiled it. For the design question/conjecture examples, this source proves only True, not the design claim.
