Something that has been tested or proven again after initial proof, or resistant to effects that come later.
Compound of 'after' and 'proof' (Old French preuve, from Latin proba). This term combines the concepts of temporal sequence with verification.
The concept of afterproof challenges our understanding of certainty—mathematicians realized that something proven true today might need reproof with new axioms tomorrow, which is why math is always evolving.
