Abstract
A standard view of mathematical statements is that they should be accompanied by succinctly written, easily verifiable certificates. To wit, open one of your favorite mathematics or theoretical computer science textbooks (if you have one; if not, perhaps the present text will become your favorite). You’ll see that all the formal statements there are accompanied by strings of text called proofs, which the author believes to be easily verifiable by anyone with enough background.
