+== Core Claims
+
+=== Claim 1: Semantic Equivalence Across Languages
+
+*From README:* "This Elixir implementation is semantically equivalent to Julia implementation (PolyglotFormalisms.jl), ReScript implementation (alib-for-rescript), and Gleam implementation (polyglot_formalisms_gleam). Formal verification proofs demonstrating semantic equivalence are available in the main PolyglotFormalisms specification repository."
+
+*Evidence:* The `lib/polyglot_formalisms/` module structure provides three independent submodules—Arithmetic, Comparison, and Logical—each implementing the same interface across all supported languages. For example, `lib/polyglot_formalisms/arithmetic.ex` defines `add/2`, `subtract/2`, `multiply/2`, `divide/2`, and `modulo/2` with behavior matching Julia semantics. The README documents three critical behavioral differences that preserve equivalence: float division by zero returns Infinity (IEEE 754), modulo uses Erlang `rem` semantics (not Python-style modulo), and boolean operations use short-circuit evaluation. This is verified through property-based testing across the four implementations. **Caveat:** The formal verification proofs themselves live in a separate specification repository, not in this package; this package implements one side of the equivalence claim.
+
+=== Claim 2: BEAM Semantics with IEEE 754 Precision
+
+*From README:* "This implementation follows BEAM/Erlang semantics: Division by zero returns Infinity or -Infinity. NaN propagation follows IEEE 754. Comparison with NaN returns false. Modulo by zero raises ArithmeticError (BEAM behavior)."
+
+*Evidence:* The arithmetic module at `lib/polyglot_formalisms/arithmetic.ex` relies on Erlang's native float and integer operations. Division by zero is handled by Erlang's IEEE 754 compliance (no custom guards needed—Erlang returns infinity). Modulo by zero in `lib/polyglot_formalisms/arithmetic.ex:modulo/2` explicitly raises `ArithmeticError` to match BEAM semantics, diverging from some languages that return NaN. The comparison module at `lib/polyglot_formalisms/comparison.ex` returns `false` for any comparison with NaN, as per IEEE semantics. **Caveat:** These semantics are correct for the BEAM runtime, but the package does not formally prove they match every other implementation's floating-point handling (e.g., Gleam may have platform-specific differences).
