/- # Witness Evolution Proofs ## SNAPKITTYWEST Research Institute **Author:** Ahmad Ali Parr **Date:** August 2026 **Theorem:** Witness Exhaustion - canonical witness evolves to [Ω, Ω, Ω] in exactly 2 steps This module formalizes witness evolution for QLG-certified tokens and proves that the canonical witness exhausts in exactly 2 evolution steps. -/ import HyperKitty.Core /-!
