Provisional outline for the lean levels and worlds to target

Metric Space world

proof unlock
Tri inequality related equivalence Distance function axioms (incl Tri ineq)
Sequence converges => any tail converges (or some other simple exercise with raw definition of convergence) Convergence of sequence definition
Uniqueness of a sequence limit
Open ball is open (with raw definitions) Open set definition Prove some examples is continuous? Continuous function definition
Something about closures/interiors/boundaries?
Cauchy sequences
Completeness
Boundedness
Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem

Topology World

Proof unlock
Union of open sets are open (in metric space) Corresponding topology axiom Finite intersection of open is open (metric space) Corresponding topology axiom If a sequence converges to a point in an open set, then some tail is entirely in that open set Convergence definition
Preimage of open is open (metric spaces) Continuous definition (topology) Prove continuity of some function between non-metrisable
Metric space is Hausdorff (raw definition) Hausdorff definition
Sequence can have at most one limit in Hausdorff space
Prove counterexample is not Hausdorff (opens={cofinite} works I think)
Something about closures/interiors/boundaries?
bijection from compact to haussdorff has a continuous inverse

I can't find a definition for sequence limit in metric spaces. It's possible that it's just not necessary for developing theory. But is probably still useful for the pedagogical side of the game. Defining the limit of a sequence is not very long though:

def sequenceLimit (sequence: ℕ → X) (limit: X) :=
  ∀ε:ℝ, ε > 0 → (∃N:ℕ, ∀n:ℕ, n>N → (dist (sequence n) limit) < ε)
