G\"odel's and Scott's Variants of the Ontological Argument in Lean 4
Read the original on arXiv AI →This paper reports a full, structure‑preserving port of the Isabelle/HOL dataset on G"odel’s and Scott’s modal ontological arguments to Lean 4. The port consists of 30 Lean 4 modules that mirror the original theories in section structure, declaration order, and naming, and a comparison tool confirms that all 548 statements are identical. The Lean 4 development reproduces every proof from the Isabelle/HOL version—including the inconsistency of G"odel’s 1970 axioms, the repaired variants, Scott’s variant, modal collapse, monotheism, and the ultrafilter property—while also proving five previously unproven statements and documenting the remaining 45 as unresolved. "whyItMatters":"The work demonstrates that Lean 4 can faithfully replicate a complex formal development from Isabelle/HOL, providing a new, lean‑based foundation for further exploration of modal ontological arguments."
