surjection count three ways
Theorem.surjection count three ways — k!·S(n,k) = inclusion–exclusion Σ(−1)^i C(k,i)(k−i)^n = brute onto-function count.
Proof.k!·S(n,k) = inclusion–exclusion Σ(−1)^i C(k,i)(k−i)^n = brute onto-function count for all n ≤ 7 (surj(4,2)=14) — three independent computations agreeing.
The domain is finite and every case is decided by exact arithmetic, so the enumeration is complete. ∎

1 · Classification
finite-complete — self-contained computation, no external lean
2 · Provenance
Documented theorem re-derived by exhaustive computation (humanityNovel=false); first-in-this-registry is the only sense of discovered.
Acknowledgment
"surjection count three ways" is a re-derivation, acknowledged to documented mathematics — the original proof is the prior art this re-derivation acknowledges; not new to humanity — the contribution is the reproducible computation discoveredTheoremsWaveThirtyFour.
- Prior art
- documented mathematics — the original proof is the prior art this re-derivation acknowledges
- Novelty
- not new to humanity — a re-derivation (humanityNovel = false)
- Contribution
- a reproducible computation (discoveredTheoremsWaveThirtyFour @ src/9/1) that re-derives the result at zero tokens — the contribution is the verifiable recomputation, NOT the theorem
3 · Reproducibility
Recompute from source: npm run theorems:verify recomputes discoveredTheoremsWaveThirtyFour (src/9/1/index.ts) — every verdict re-derives; nothing on this page is asserted without the computation behind it.
