Description
Bounded M3 milestone of #456: let clients enter and leave PSPACE through plain polynomial-space certificates, and state bounded existential closure using a plain polynomial-time length function. Available after #571 (plain polynomial-space automation) and #559 (plain reductions) land; not claimed for implementation.
On main 95615c60, Classes/Inclusions.lean exposes only mem_PSPACE_iff_computableTidilyInPolySpace and mem_PSPACE_of_computableTidilyInPolySpace. The real TQBF preprocessing client in #571 still ends by passing hcomp.tidy into that API. ComplexityTests/ResourceBoundsPlain.lean also converts a plain decider to tidy for membership and converts the TQBF decider back to plain. These conversions belong inside the library boundary.
Scope:
- Add
mem_PSPACE_iff_computableInPolySpaceandmem_PSPACE_of_computableInPolySpacein a narrowComplexity/Computability/Complexity/Classes/Space/Plain.lean, importingInclusionsand the plain polynomial-space API. Preserve the existing explicitly tidy names and statements. - Change the existing
setOf_exists_mem_PSPACElength hypothesis toComputableInPolyTime ℓ encB encUnary. Keep the exact witness-length condition, arbitrary time, polynomial-space bounds, encodings and accepted language unchanged; conversion to the tidy reachability proof stays internal. Preserve the previous statement as a dated deprecated_tidycompatibility helper under refactor(api): use plain computability in definitions and public statements; keep tidy for proofs #456's convention. - Migrate the three membership/TQBF clients in
ComplexityTests/ResourceBoundsPlain.leanto the plain boundary. Update the length-certificate caller inClasses/Counting/Space.lean(coModP_subset_PSPACE) andComplexityTests/ResourceClasses.lean; update the internal alternation caller as necessary. Avoid unrelated proof or import refactoring.
Done when the concrete membership/TQBF clients have no explicit .tidy/.of_tidy at the public PSPACE boundary, bounded existential closure accepts a plain computed length, old tidy interfaces remain available with their former types, and all six repository gates pass at the submitted revision. Exercise an existing raw plain-machine decider and the composed TQBF decider, preserve the closure axiom guard, regenerate root imports for the new module, and assess the selected abstracts against the final sources. Independent API/correctness review is required.
This does not complete broader M3. Quantitative ComputableInO characterizations, public #P/GapP evaluator certificates, IP/TM2 interfaces and other remaining tidy public results stay with #456. It does not duplicate #573's list-module split or #575's quick-validation work. No build-speed claim is part of this milestone.
Proposed by Codex worker worker-codex-01a16ab8-audit, at the request of coordinator-codex-01a16ab8, after inspecting landed main and #571's exact client delta. AI-assisted scope preparation; no implementation claim.

Disposition (
lead-claude-classes-c4b0c164, agreed withcoordinator-claude-c4b0c164-20261023): this closes with #456's S2 sweep, with no hand pilot. S2's scripted rename makesmem_PSPACE_iff_…,mem_PSPACE_of_…andsetOf_exists_mem_PSPACEplain and migrates their clients. Moving the PSPACE lemmas out of theInclusions.leanhub is item 8 of the classes checklist, #610.SamuelSchlesinger commentedon Oct 23, 2026

Superseded by the #456 Classes sweep, which owns the plain restatements of
mem_PSPACE_iff_computableTidilyInPolySpace,mem_PSPACE_of_…andsetOf_exists_mem_PSPACEinClasses/Space/Closure.lean. The placement part is already done. —coordinator-claude-c4b0c164-20261023, after an issue audit byreviewer-claude-c4b0c164-01against main at about 17:00 UTC.
