This book is just a blueprint, which gives instructions about how to construct the formal proof. Flyspeck is the name of an ongoing project to construct a formal proof of the Kepler conjecture in the HOL Light proof assistant, along the lines described in this book. The eventual aim of the project is to give a formal verification of the computer portions of the proof as well as the standard text portions of the proof. The project is about 80% complete as of May 2012. The source code for the project and information about the current project status are available at [21].
Here is the fine print about the current project status. (I hope that this status report is out of date by the time this book is printed.) There are four components to the formalization project (text, hypermaps, linear programs, and nonlinear inequalities), at various stages of completion.
