A Lean 4 proof that for every nonnegative integer n, the distinct integers 1,...,n can be partitioned into nonempty sets of at most three elements, each having sum equal to a nonnegative integer power of three. This proves Conjecture 1 of Gurvich and Naumova, arXiv:2508.00946v3. The development constructs permutations with all prescribed nonzero displacements, derives signed zero-sum triple partitions, proves a contraction and complement-pair extension, and completes strong induction on n. All required finite certificates and unbounded sequence constructions are proved in Lean.
