lean-corpus-density: does machine mathematics accumulate?

lean-corpus-density is a new, reproducible measurement of dependency density in Lean 4 corpora, human and machine-generated. Replaying Tau Ceti’s commit history shows its internal import density rising monotonically as it grew — 0.40 edges per module at ten modules up to 1.55 at 2,314 — evidence that machine-generated mathematics builds on itself rather than merely piling up. The whole analysis is reproducible from file headers; no build is required.
