SAT ∈ NP — the headline theorem #
This file ties together the two halves of the SAT ∈ NP proof:

Combining them yields the unconditional theorem SAT.language_mem_NP : language ∈ NP.
SAT ∈ NP. The Boolean satisfiability language is in NP, witnessed by
the SAT-specialized guess-and-verify NTM running over the polynomial-time
deterministic pair verifier.
