plain-language theorem explainer

17 is prime and congruent to 1 modulo 4, confirming it as a Pythagorean prime. Number theorists working on sums of two squares or quadratic forms would cite this concrete case. The proof is a direct computational verification with no intermediate lemmas.

Claim. $17$ is prime and $17$ satisfies $17$ ≡ 1 (mod 4).

background

The module supplies lightweight wrappers around arithmetic functions, starting with the Möbius function μ. Primality is the standard predicate on natural numbers. The declaration depends on the basic primality definition imported from the primes module and on computational decision procedures.

proof idea

This is a one-line wrapper that applies native_decide to evaluate the conjunction of primality and the residue condition.

why it matters

It records a specific Pythagorean prime inside the arithmetic functions module. The fact can support later Möbius inversion statements over primes congruent to 1 mod 4. No downstream uses appear in the current dependency graph and no direct tie to the forcing chain or Recognition constants is present.
