What it changes

If this formalisation were correct, a computer could check every step of the proof by Nešetřil and Rödl (1985).

What remains unclear

The wiki does not specify the formal language used on this line. The sources read do not say whether the formalisation faithfully reproduces the proof by Nešetřil and Rödl (1985), and record no verification of it.

Method

Source: the “AI contributions to Erdős problems” wiki of the teorth/erdosproblems repository (a repository presented by Terence Tao in his blog post of August 31, 2025); frozen on June 30, 2026 (commit c8ad430, “freeze”) and read on October 12, 2026 in the git repository. Category 2(b), “Formalization” (secondary contribution). Humans named by the wiki: none; AI system: AxiomProver. Date given by the wiki: June 19, 2026. Exact text: “Formalization”. Proof to formalise: Nešetřil and Rödl (1985); wiki flag on this proof: green (“full resolution”, according to the wiki's legend); the wiki does not name the formal language on this line. Literature cited by the wiki: none. Status of the problem in the teorth/erdosproblems community database (data/problems.yaml, unofficial classification, snapshot of October 12, 2026 with no commit identified, current state, not that of June 2026): disproved, answered in the negative (informal_status=disproved); a solution has been formalised in Lean (formal_status=Lean). This status concerns the problem, not this contribution. Problem page not read by DiscoverIA: https://www.erdosproblems.com/328. DiscoverIA status: not evaluated (only the wiki's classification exists). Recorded on October 12, 2026.

Limits

Nature: formalisation (an already known result translated into a language a machine can check), not a discovery. DiscoverIA has not checked this contribution itself.
