+# Independence of the parallel postulate
+
+Theorem #12 on Freek Wiedijk's *Formalizing 100 Theorems* list
+(<https://www.cs.ru.nl/~freek/100/>). Euclid's parallel postulate is
+logically independent of the remaining axioms of plane geometry: there is a
+model of absolute (neutral) geometry in which the postulate holds and one in
+which it fails, so neither it nor its negation follows from the other axioms.
+
+We use Tarski's axiomatization. `TarskiAbsolute` bundles the betweenness (`B`)
+and congruence (`C`) primitives with axioms `A1`–`A9` and the continuity
+axiom `A11` — everything except the parallel postulate — following
+Schwabhäuser–Szmielew–Tarski. The **Euclidean axiom** `A10` is kept separate
+as a `Prop`. `parallel_postulate_independent` then asserts both that some
+model satisfies `A10` (the real coordinate plane) and that some model refutes
+it (the Klein–Beltrami disk model of the hyperbolic plane).
+
+This formalization was cross-checked against the two existing formalizations
+recorded on Freek's list:
+
+* **HOL Light**, John Harrison — `Multivariate/tarski.ml` (axioms hold in
+  `ℝ²`) and `100/independence.ml` (the Klein model satisfies `A1`–`A9`, `A11`
+  but not `A10`). Axioms `A1`–`A10` match Harrison's `TARSKI_AXIOM_n`
+  character-for-character; `A11` is Harrison's second-order continuity axiom.
+* **Isabelle/AFP**, Tim Makarios — entry `Tarskis_Geometry`, which builds the
+  Klein–Beltrami model and proves it satisfies every Tarski axiom except the
+  Euclidean one.

For the Euclidean existential, take the real coordinate plane ℝ² with `B` the metric betweenness and `C` segment-length equality; it satisfies all of A1-A11 including the Euclidean axiom A10. For the non-Euclidean existential, take the Klein-Beltrami disk model of the hyperbolic plane: points are the open unit disk, betweenness and congruence are defined from cross-ratios / the projective structure; it satisfies A1-A9 and A11 but refutes A10 (through a point not on a line there is more than one parallel). Verifying the axioms for the Klein model is the substantial part — Makarios's Isabelle development and Harrison's HOL Light file both carry it out in full."
