Threshold Uniqueness Proof (mechanized)
Proves: If alpha > n/2, at most one value can achieve alpha votes
among honest validators in any round.
This eliminates the `unique_threshold` axiom in Safety.lean by
providing a constructive counting argument using Finset intersection.
Core argument:
- Let S_v1 = honest nodes preferring v1, S_v2 = honest nodes preferring v2
- Each honest node has exactly one preference (preference is a function)
- |S_v1| >= alpha and |S_v2| >= alpha
- S_v1 and S_v2 are disjoint (a node prefers exactly one value)
- So |S_v1 ∪ S_v2| = |S_v1| + |S_v2| >= 2 * alpha > n
- But |S_v1 ∪ S_v2| <= n (they're subsets of all nodes)
- Contradiction: v1 = v2
Maps to Go code:
- protocol/wave/wave.go: Each node stores exactly one preference
- core/dag/horizon.go: alpha threshold for round acceptance

Section 1: Disjoint preference sets
Honest nodes have at most one preference. So the sets
"honest nodes preferring v1" and "honest nodes preferring v2"
are disjoint when v1 ≠ v2.

Section 2: The counting argument
If two disjoint subsets of {0, ..., n-1} each have cardinality >= alpha,
then their union has cardinality >= 2 * alpha.
But the union is a subset of {0, ..., n-1} which has cardinality n.
So 2 * alpha <= n, i.e., alpha <= n/2.
Contrapositive: if alpha > n/2, the subsets cannot both have cardinality >= alpha
unless they are the same set (i.e., v1 = v2).

Section 3: Main theorem -- mechanized unique_threshold
If alpha > n/2, two distinct values cannot both achieve alpha votes
among honest validators. This replaces the axiom in Safety.lean.

/-- Corollary matching the exact signature of the Safety.lean axiom.
The condition alpha > 2*k/3 with honest majority implies alpha > n/2
when the honest count exceeds 2f and f < n/3.
This is the bridge: BFT parameters (f < n/3, alpha > 2k/3) imply
the alpha > n/2 condition needed for unique_threshold_proven. -/
