Proof: There are no positive integer solutions to the equation x^4 + y^4 = z^4.
Generated: 2026-03-28

This is Fermat's Last Theorem for n=4, first proved by Fermat via infinite descent.
The proof verifies the claim computationally up to a bound and documents the
classical logical argument, but the machine cannot verify the infinite descent
chain — so the verdict is UNDETERMINED per proof-engine conventions.
