not of the implementation. Of the type system. And a verification of subsets, but not a verification of their interactions == the whole system is unverified.

The eventual goal is verification of the full system. Not the implementation, yes, that's infeasible.

In any way they won't be fundamental (which is believed to be the case today, but not proven).
