Translating Informal Proofs into Formal Proofs Using a Chain of States

This article likely discusses a novel approach to automate the conversion of human-readable, informal mathematical proofs into the rigorous, machine-verifiable format of formal proofs. The 'chain of states' likely refers to a method of breaking down the informal proof into a series of logical steps or states, which can then be translated into the formal language. This is a significant challenge in AI and automated reasoning, as it bridges the gap between human intuition and machine precision. The source being ArXiv suggests this is a recent research paper.
