Istari rules

Conventions:

Note that no effort was made to keep the set of rules minimal. Many rules that would follow from other rules are nonetheless included for the sake of convenience or performance. Since the rules are (nearly) all verified, there is no robustness advantage to minimizing the set of rules.

Rules are given here in human-readable format, using explicit variables. The official rules, using de Bruijn indices, are given here.

Integers

The remaining integer rules establish the properties of Istari’s native integer operations through an isomorphism to Integer, which defines the integers as a quotient over pairs of natural numbers (quotient (x y : nat & nat) . x #1 + y #2 = x #2 + y #1 : nat).

Rewriting

These rules are tailor-made to justify certain transformations in the rewriter, to improve performance and robustness. (Some of the justifying derivations are quite large.)
