Description
-
(local.get I:Int) (local.set I:Int)is ust identity (no effect) -
(ITYPE.store (i32.const ADDR) (ITYPE.load (i32.const ADDR)))is just identity (no effect) - A loop invariant: 1+2+...+n = n(n+1)/2
- Soundness of KWasm: Memory byte arrays maintain their invariants
- Keys-in-range property: All keys
Kin the map maintain0 <= K < SIZE * 65536- No instruction can store to out of bounds (
< 0or>= SIZE * 65536) - No instruction can load from out of bounds
- Putting them together with an induction proof: an empty memory has keys-in-range, and no statement can cause it to be violated, so it always holds. May require modelling host calls.
- No instruction can store to out of bounds (
- Values-in-range property: No instruction can modify the memory so that the value in a slot is <1 or > 255
- Induction proof: an empty memory is valid, and no statement can cause a memory to become invalid, so the semantics never violate the invariant.
- Keys-in-range property: All keys

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the KWasm memory semantics and any host-call model, then formalize the keys-in-range and values-in-range invariants and prove them by induction. Done means the listed soundness properties are established, including the effect of host calls.
