You get a very special purpose prover that uses heuristics, then they stop at the boundary where they can't work anymore.

Partly, but partly to see how far we could go with automating the proof of mathematical theorems. That was the intent.

We proved — in the stand-alone mode with heuristics — we proved limit theorems of calculus and that's a good sample

It was built to partly prove theorems, which is one of the jobs that AI does. [inaudible word] emission, theorem proving, and so forth.

Yes, that's fair enough. It's not really what I said, though. I mean my goals were independent of the name. I wouldn't call them mathematics either.
