One of the first formal proof systems. This is actually understandable!
This is Ciro Santilli-2020 definition of the foundation of mathematics (and the only one he had any patience to study at all).
TODO what are its limitations? Why were other systems created?

ELF Hello World Tutorial How to learn Updated 2025-07-16
Spin like mad between:
- standards
- high level generators. We use the assembler
asand linkerld. - hexdumps
- file decompilers. We use
readelf. It makes it faster to read the ELF file by turning it into human readable output. But you must have seen one byte-by-byte example first, and think howreadelfoutput maps to the standard. - low-level generators: stand-alone libraries that let you control every field of the ELF files you generated. github.com/BR903/ELFkickers, github.com/sqall01/ZwoELF and many more on GitHub.
- consumer: the
execsystem call of the Linux kernel can parse ELF files to starts processes: github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.11/fs/binfmt_elf.c, stackoverflow.com/questions/8352535/how-does-kernel-get-an-executable-binary-file-running-under-linux/31394861#31394861
ELF Hello World Tutorial Index 0 section Updated 2025-07-16
Contained in bytes 0x40 to 0x7F.
The first section is always magic: www.sco.com/developers/gabi/2003-12-17/ch4.sheader.html says:
If the number of sections is greater than or equal to SHN_LORESERVE (0xff00), e_shnum has the value SHN_UNDEF (0) and the actual number of section header table entries is contained in the sh_size field of the section header at index 0 (otherwise, the sh_size member of the initial entry contains 0).
There are also other magic sections detailed in
