Researchers have developed a new method for formalizing mathematical proofs that prioritizes faithfulness to natural language reasoning. This approach, called Pistis, aims to ensure that formal proofs reflect the human or AI-generated argument's logical flow, rather than just compiling. Pistis introduces a novel search technique, OrderDecompose, which tracks citation dependencies and avoids unfaithful shortcuts. Applied to Euclid's Elements, Pistis generated proofs that were favored by both human reviewers and an LLM judge, and it also identified gaps in the original proofs. AI
