Before
n=8;given facts=[1];original indexed rules=[[0, 0, 1], [1, 1, 2], [2, 2, 3], [3, 3, 4], [4, 4, 5], [5, 5, 6], [6, 6, 7]]
After
use only given facts and single-premise MP;not-derived does not mean False
Conditions: none
Atoms use0-based indices and a rule i→j requires an already derived i.A cycle without facts cannot generate conclusions.Not-derived is not False,and this finite check is not general logical completeness.

Every derived atom has a displayed chain of that length.The reached set is closed under every given edge and satisfies the depth bounds,so any shorter chain would force a smaller label.These labels are shortest;null means not-derived in this rule model,not False.
