The squeeze theorem, also known as the sandwich theorem or, informally, the two policemen and a drunk theorem, is a result in calculus concerning the limit of a function that is bounded between two other functions with a known, shared limit at a point. It was used geometrically by Archimedes and Eudoxus in their efforts to compute pi, and was later formulated in its modern terms by Carl Friedrich Gauss.

Has Statement Form
Entity-backed identity for the statement-form enum value this theorem already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The statement-form fact itself stays on the theorem unchanged.
