Subsequently, we introduce the main part of the basic Isar theory and proof
|
|
5 |
commands as provided by Isabelle/Pure. Chapter~\ref{ch:gen-tools} describes
|
7335
|
6 |
further Isar elements as provided by generic tools and packages (such as the
|
|
7 |
Simplifier) that are either part of Pure Isabelle, or pre-loaded by most
|
|
8 |
object logics. See chapter~\ref{ch:hol-tools} for actual object-logic
|
|
9 |
specific elements (for Isabelle/HOL).

Isar commands may be either \emph{proper} document constructors, or
|
7466
|
14 |
\emph{improper commands}. Some proof methods and attributes introduced later
|
|
15 |
are classified as improper as well. Improper Isar language elements, which
|
|
16 |
are subsequently marked by $^*$, are often helpful when developing proof
|
|
17 |
documents, while their use is usually discouraged for the final outcome.
|
|
18 |
Typical examples are diagnostic commands that print terms or theorems
|
|
19 |
according to the current context; other commands even emulate old-style
|
|
20 |
tactical theorem proving, which facilitates porting of legacy proof scripts.

\subsection{Defining theories}\label{sec:begin-thy}
|
7134
|
26 |
|
|
27 |
\indexisarcmd{theory}\indexisarcmd{end}\indexisarcmd{context}
|
|
28 |
\begin{matharray}{rcl}
|
|
29 |
\isarcmd{theory} & : & \isartrans{\cdot}{theory} \\
|
|
30 |
\isarcmd{context}^* & : & \isartrans{\cdot}{theory} \\

32 |
\end{matharray}

33 |
|
|
34 |
Isabelle/Isar ``new-style'' theories are either defined via theory files or
|
7167
|
35 |
interactively. Both actual theory specifications and proofs are handled
|
7335
|
36 |
uniformly --- occasionally definitional mechanisms even require some explicit
|
|
37 |
proof as well. In contrast, ``old-style'' Isabelle theories support batch
|
|
38 |
processing only, with the proof scripts collected in separate ML files.
|
7134
|
39 |
|
|
40 |
The first command of any theory has to be $\THEORY$, starting a new theory
|
7175
|
41 |
based on the merge of existing ones. The theory context may be also changed
|
|
42 |
by $\CONTEXT$ without creating a new theory. In both cases, $\END$ concludes
|
|
43 |
the theory development; it has to be the very last command of any proper
|
|
44 |
theory file.

\begin{descr}
|
7134
|
58 |
\item [$\THEORY~A = B@1 + \cdots + B@n$] commences a new theory $A$ based on
|
7175
|
59 |
existing ones $B@1 + \cdots + B@n$. Isabelle's theory loader system ensures
|
|
60 |
that any of the base theories are properly loaded (and fully up-to-date when
|
|
61 |
$\THEORY$ is executed interactively). The optional $\isarkeyword{files}$
|
|
62 |
specification declares additional dependencies on ML files. Unless put in
|
|
63 |
parentheses, any file will be loaded immediately via $\isarcmd{use}$ (see
|
7335
|
64 |
also \S\ref{sec:ML}). The optional ML file \texttt{$A$.ML} that may be
|
|
65 |
associated with any theory should \emph{not} be included in
|
|
66 |
$\isarkeyword{files}$.
|
7134
|
67 |
|
7167
|
68 |
\item [$\CONTEXT~B$] enters an existing theory context $B$, basically in
|
7134
|
69 |
read-only mode, so only a limited set of commands may be performed. Just as
|
|
70 |
for $\THEORY$, the theory loader ensures that $B$ is loaded and up-to-date.
|
7175
|
71 |
|
7167
|
72 |
\item [$\END$] concludes the current theory definition or context switch.
|
7175
|
73 |
Note that this command cannot be undone, instead the theory definition
|
|
74 |
itself has to be retracted.

|
|
90 |
|
7167
|
91 |
There are several commands to include \emph{formal comments} in theory
|
|
92 |
specification (a few more are available for proofs, see
|
|
93 |
\S\ref{sec:formal-cmt-prf}). In contrast to source-level comments
|
7134
|
94 |
\verb|(*|\dots\verb|*)|, which are stripped at the lexical level, any text
|
|
95 |
given as formal comment is meant to be part of the actual document.
|
|
96 |
Consequently, it would be included in the final printed version.
|
|
97 |
|
|
98 |
Apart from plain prose, formal comments may also refer to logical entities of
|
7175
|
99 |
the theory context (types, terms, theorems etc.). Proper processing of the
|
|
100 |
text would then include some further consistency checks with the items
|
|
101 |
declared in the current theory, e.g.\ type-checking of included
|
|
102 |
terms.\footnote{The current version of Isabelle/Isar does not process formal
|
7134
|
103 |
comments in any such way. This will be available as part of the automatic
|
7175
|
104 |
theory and proof document preparation system (using (PDF){\LaTeX}) that is
|
7134
|
105 |
planned for the near future.}

147 |
of existing classes $\vec c$. Cyclic class structures are ruled out.
|
7134
|
148 |
\item [$\isarkeyword{classrel}~c@1<c@2$] states a subclass relation between
|

149 |
existing classes $c@1$ and $c@2$. This is done axiomatically! The

7175

150 |
$\isarkeyword{instance}$ command (see \S\ref{sec:axclass}) provides a way
|

introduce proven class relations.

\item [$\isarkeyword{defaultsort}~s$] makes sort $s$ the new default sort for

\item [$\TYPES~(\vec\alpha)t = \tau$] introduces \emph{type synonym}
|
7134
|
181 |
$(\vec\alpha)t$ for existing type $\tau$. Unlike actual type definitions,
|
|
182 |
as are available in Isabelle/HOL for example, type synonyms are just purely

183 |
syntactic abbreviations, without any logical significance. Internally, type

synonyms are fully expanded, as may be observed when printing terms or

theorems.
|

186 |
\item [$\isarkeyword{typedecl}~(\vec\alpha)t$] declares a new type constructor

$t$, intended as an actual logical type. Note that some logics such as

188 |
Isabelle/HOL provide their own version of $\isarkeyword{typedecl}$.

\item [$\isarkeyword{nonterminals}~\vec c$] declares $0$-ary type constructors

191 |
Isabelle's inner syntax of terms or types.

\item [$\isarkeyword{arities}~t::(\vec s)s$] augments Isabelle's order-sorted

axiomatically! The $\isarkeyword{instance}$ command (see

context free grammar of Isabelle's inner syntax may be augmented in

arbitrary ways, independently of the logic. The $mode$ argument refers to

Isabelle organizes any kind of names (of types, constants, theorems etc.) by
|
7175
|
307 |
hierarchically structured name spaces. Normally the user never has to control
|
7335
|
308 |
the behavior of name space entry by hand, yet the following commands provide
|
7175
|
309 |
some way to do so.

\begin{descr}
|

\item [$\isarkeyword{global}$ and $\isarkeyword{local}$] change the current
|
|
313 |
name declaration mode. Initially, theories start in $\isarkeyword{local}$
|
|
314 |
mode, causing all names to be automatically qualified by the theory name.
|
|
315 |
Changing this to $\isarkeyword{global}$ causes all names to be declared as
|
7175
|
316 |
base names only, until $\isarkeyword{local}$ is declared again.

The current theory context (if present) is passed down to the ML session,

but must not be modified. Furthermore, the file name is checked with the

Syntax translation functions written in ML admit almost arbitrary

\section{Proof commands}
|

400 |
|
7315
|
401 |
Proof commands provide transitions of Isar/VM machine configurations, which
|
|
402 |
are block-structured, consisting of a stack of nodes with three main
|
7335
|
403 |
components: logical proof context, current facts, and open goals. Isar/VM
|
|
404 |
transitions are \emph{typed} according to the following three three different
|
|
405 |
modes of operation:
|
7167
|
406 |
\begin{descr}
|
|
407 |
\item [$proof(prove)$] means that a new goal has just been stated that is now
|
|
408 |
to be \emph{proven}; the next command may refine it by some proof method
|
7175
|
409 |
($\approx$ tactic), and enter a sub-proof to establish the final result.
|
7167
|
410 |
\item [$proof(state)$] is like an internal theory mode: the context may be
|
7175
|
411 |
augmented by \emph{stating} additional assumptions, intermediate result etc.
|
|
412 |
\item [$proof(chain)$] is an intermediate mode between $proof(state)$ and
|
7458
|
413 |
$proof(prove)$: existing facts (i.e.\ the contents of $this$) have been just
|
|
414 |
picked up in order to use them when refining the goal claimed next.

\end{matharray}
|
|
446 |
|
7315
|
447 |
The logical proof context consists of fixed variables and assumptions. The
|
|
448 |
former closely correspond to Skolem constants, or meta-level universal
|
|
449 |
quantification as provided by the Isabelle/Pure logical framework.
|
|
450 |
Introducing some \emph{arbitrary, but fixed} variable via $\FIX x$ results in
|
7319
|
451 |
a local object that may be used in the subsequent proof as any other variable
|
7315
|
452 |
or constant. Furthermore, any result $\phi[x]$ exported from the current
|
|
453 |
context will be universally closed wrt.\ $x$ at the outermost level (this is
|
|
454 |
expressed using Isabelle's meta-variables).
|
|
455 |
|
|
456 |
Similarly, introducing some assumption $\chi$ has two effects. On the one
|
|
457 |
hand, a local theorem is created that may be used as a fact in subsequent
|
|
458 |
proof steps. On the other hand, any result $\phi$ exported from the context
|
|
459 |
becomes conditional wrt.\ the assumption. Thus, solving an enclosing goal
|
7335
|
460 |
using such a result would basically introduce a new subgoal stemming from the
|
7315
|
461 |
assumption. How this situation is handled depends on the actual version of
|
|
462 |
assumption command used: while $\ASSUMENAME$ solves the subgoal by unifying
|
|
463 |
with some premise of the goal, $\PRESUMENAME$ leaves the subgoal unchanged to
|
|
464 |
be proved later by the user.
|
|
465 |
|
7319
|
466 |
Local definitions, introduced by $\DEF{}{x \equiv t}$, are achieved by
|
|
467 |
combining $\FIX x$ with another kind of assumption that causes any
|
7315
|
468 |
hypothetical equation $x = t$ to be eliminated by reflexivity. Thus,
|
|
469 |
exporting some result $\phi[x]$ simply yields $\phi[t]$.

\item [$\FIX{x}$] introduces a local \emph{arbitrary, but fixed} variable $x$.
|
|
489 |
\item [$\ASSUME{a}{\Phi}$ and $\PRESUME{a}{\Phi}$] introduce local theorems
|
7335
|
490 |
$\Phi$ by assumption. Subsequent results applied to an enclosing goal
|
|
491 |
(e.g.\ via $\SHOWNAME$) are handled as follows: $\ASSUMENAME$ expects to be
|
|
492 |
able to unify with existing premises in the goal, while $\PRESUMENAME$
|
|
493 |
leaves $\Phi$ as new subgoals.
|

494 |

Several lists of assumptions may be given (separated by

concatenated.

7315

498 |
\item [$\DEF{a}{x \equiv t}$] introduces a local (non-polymorphic) definition.
|
|
499 |
In results exported from the context, $x$ is replaced by $t$. Basically,
|
7335
|
500 |
$\DEF{}{x \equiv t}$ abbreviates $\FIX{x}~\PRESUME{}{x \equiv t}$, with the

501 |
resulting hypothetical equation solved by reflexivity.

Any fact will usually be involved in further proofs, either as explicit

arguments of proof methods or when forward chaining towards the next goal via
|

523 |
$\THEN$ (and variants). Note that the special theorem name

$this$.\indexisarthm{this} refers to the most recently established facts.

that will be offered these facts to do ``anything appropriate'' (see also

\S\ref{sec:proof-steps}). For example, method $rule$ (see

542 |
\S\ref{sec:pure-meth}) would do an elimination rather than an introduction.
|
7335

543 |
\item [$\FROM{\vec b}$] abbreviates $\NOTE{}{\vec b}~\THEN$; thus $\THEN$ is

7458

544 |
equivalent to $\FROM{this}$.

7175

\item [$\WITH{\vec b}$] abbreviates $\FROM{\vec b~facts}$; thus the forward

Basic proof methods (such as $rule$, see \S\ref{sec:pure-meth}) expect

multiple facts to be given in proper order, corresponding to a prefix of the

premises of the rule involved. Note that positions may be easily skipped

using a form like $\FROM{\text{\texttt{_}}~a~b}$, for example. This involves

Arbitrary goal refinement via tactics is considered harmful. Consequently the
|
|
617 |
Isar framework admits proof methods to be invoked in two places only.
|
7167
|
618 |
\begin{enumerate}
|
7175
|
619 |
\item An \emph{initial} refinement step $\PROOF{m@1}$ reduces a newly stated
|
7335
|
620 |
goal to a number of sub-goals that are to be solved later. Facts are passed
|
|
621 |
to $m@1$ for forward chaining if so indicated by $proof(chain)$ mode.
|
7167
|
622 |
|
7335
|
623 |
\item A \emph{terminal} conclusion step $\QED{m@2}$ solves any remaining goals
|
|
624 |
completely. No facts are passed to $m@2$.
|
7167
|
625 |
\end{enumerate}
|
|
626 |
|
7335
|
627 |
The only other proper way to affect pending goals is by $\SHOWNAME$ (or
|
|
628 |
$\THUSNAME$), which involves an explicit statement of what is to be solved.
|
7167
|
629 |
|
7175
|
630 |
\medskip
|
|
631 |
|
7167
|
632 |
Also note that initial proof methods should either solve the goal completely,
|
|
633 |
or constitute some well-understood deterministic reduction to new sub-goals.
|
|
634 |
Arbitrary automatic proof tools that are prone leave a large number of badly
|
|
635 |
structured sub-goals are no help in continuing the proof document in any
|
7175
|
636 |
intelligible way. A much better technique would be to $\SHOWNAME$ some
|
|
637 |
non-trivial reduction as an explicit rule, which is solved completely by some
|
|
638 |
automated method, and then applied to some pending goal.
|
7167
|
639 |
|
7175
|
640 |
\medskip
|
|
641 |
|
|
642 |
Unless given explicitly by the user, the default initial method is
|
|
643 |
``$default$'', which is usually set up to apply a single standard elimination
|
7458
|
644 |
or introduction rule according to the topmost symbol involved. There is no
|
|
645 |
default terminal method; in any case the final step is to solve all remaining
|
|
646 |
goals by assumption.

\item [$\PROOF{m@1}$] refines the goal by proof method $m@1$; facts for
|
|
664 |
forward chaining are passed if so indicated by $proof(chain)$ mode.
|
|
665 |
\item [$\QED{m@2}$] refines any remaining goals by proof method $m@2$ and
|
|
666 |
concludes the sub-proof. If the goal had been $\SHOWNAME$ (or $\THUSNAME$),
|
|
667 |
some pending sub-goal is solved as well by the rule resulting from the
|
|
668 |
result exported to the enclosing goal context. Thus $\QEDNAME$ may fail for
|
|
669 |
two reasons: either $m@2$ fails to solve all remaining goals completely, or
|
|
670 |
the resulting rule does not resolve with any enclosing goal. Debugging such
|
|
671 |
a situation might involve temporarily changing $\SHOWNAME$ into $\HAVENAME$,
|
|
672 |
or softening the local context by replacing $\ASSUMENAME$ by $\PRESUMENAME$.
|
7175
|
673 |
\item [$\BYY{m@1}{m@2}$] is a \emph{terminal proof}; it abbreviates
|
|
674 |
$\PROOF{m@1}~\QED{m@2}$, with automatic backtracking across both methods.
|
|
675 |
Debugging an unsuccessful $\BYY{m@1}{m@2}$ commands might be done by simply
|
|
676 |
expanding the abbreviation by hand; note that $\PROOF{m@1}$ is usually
|
|
677 |
sufficient to see what is going wrong.
|
7321

\item [``$\DDOT$''] is a \emph{default proof}; it abbreviates $\BY{default}$.

7458

\item [``$\DOT$''] is a \emph{trivial proof}; it abbreviates
|

680 |
$\BY{assumption}$.

7167
|
681 |
\item [$\isarkeyword{sorry}$] is a \emph{fake proof}; provided that
|
|
682 |
\texttt{quick_and_dirty} is enabled, $\isarkeyword{sorry}$ pretends to solve
|
7335
|
683 |
the goal without further ado. Of course, the result is a fake theorem only,
|
7175
|
684 |
involving some oracle in its internal derivation object (this is indicated
|
7319
|
685 |
as $[!]$ in the printed result). The main application of
|
7167
|
686 |
$\isarkeyword{sorry}$ is to support top-down proof development.

\isarkeyword{is} & : & syntax \\
|
|
733 |
\end{matharray}
|
|
734 |
|
|
735 |
Abbreviations may be either bound by explicit $\LET{p \equiv t}$ statements,
|
|
736 |
or by annotating assumptions or goal statements ($\ASSUMENAME$, $\SHOWNAME$
|
|
737 |
etc.) with a list of patterns $\IS{p@1 \dots p@n}$. In both cases,
|
7466
|
738 |
higher-order matching is applied to bind extra-logical text variables, which
|
|
739 |
may be either named schematic variables of the form $\Var{x}$, or nameless
|
|
740 |
dummies ``\texttt{_}'' (underscore).\indexisarvar{_@\texttt{_}} Note that in
|
|
741 |
the $\LETNAME$ form the patterns occur on the left-hand side, while the
|
|
742 |
$\ISNAME$ patterns are in postfix position.
|
7315
|
743 |
|
7319
|
744 |
Term abbreviations are quite different from actual local definitions as
|
|
745 |
introduced via $\DEFNAME$ (see \S\ref{sec:proof-context}). The latter are
|
7315
|
746 |
visible within the logic as actual equations, while abbreviations disappear
|
|
747 |
during the input process just after type checking.

\railnonterm{proppat} (see \S\ref{sec:term-pats}).

\item [$\LET{\vec p = \vec t}$] binds any text variables in patters $\vec p$

by simultaneous higher-order matching against terms $\vec t$.
|
|
760 |
\item [$\IS{\vec p}$] resembles $\LETNAME$, but matches $\vec p$ against the
|
|
761 |
preceding statement. Also note that $\ISNAME$ is not a separate command,
|
|
762 |
but part of others (such as $\ASSUMENAME$, $\HAVENAME$ etc.).

A few \emph{automatic} term abbreviations\index{automatic abbreviation} for
|
7335
|
766 |
goals and facts are available as well. For any open goal,
|
7466
|
767 |
$\Var{thesis_prop}$\indexisarvar{thesis-prop} refers to the full proposition
|
|
768 |
(which may be a rule), $\Var{thesis_concl}$\indexisarvar{thesis-concl} to its
|
|
769 |
(atomic) conclusion, and $\Var{thesis}$\indexisarvar{thesis} to its
|
7335
|
770 |
object-logical statement. The latter two abstract over any meta-level
|
7466
|
771 |
parameters bound by $\Forall$.
|
7315
|
772 |
|
7466
|
773 |
Fact statements resulting from assumptions or finished goals are bound as
|
|
774 |
$\Var{this_prop}$\indexisarvar{this-prop},
|
|
775 |
$\Var{this_concl}$\indexisarvar{this-concl}, and
|
|
776 |
$\Var{this}$\indexisarvar{this}, similar to $\Var{thesis}$ above. In case
|
|
777 |
$\Var{this}$ refers to an object-logic statement that is an application
|
|
778 |
$f(x)$, then $x$ is bound to the special text variable
|
|
779 |
``$\dots$''\indexisarvar{\dots} (three dots). The canonical application of
|
|
780 |
this feature are calculational proofs (see \S\ref{sec:calculation}).

\indexisarcmd{next}\indexisarcmd{\{\{}\indexisarcmd{\}\}}

While Isar is inherently block-structured, opening and closing blocks is
|
|
793 |
mostly handled rather casually, with little explicit user-intervention. Any
|
|
794 |
local goal statement automatically opens \emph{two} blocks, which are closed
|
|
795 |
again when concluding the sub-proof (by $\QEDNAME$ etc.). Sections of
|
|
796 |
different context within a sub-proof are typically switched via
|
|
797 |
$\isarkeyword{next}$, which is just a single block-close followed by
|
|
798 |
block-open again. Thus the effect of $\isarkeyword{next}$ is to reset the
|
|
799 |
proof context to that of the head of the sub-proof. Note that there is no
|
7175
|
800 |
goal focus involved here!
|
7167
|
801 |
|
7175
|
802 |
For slightly more advanced applications, there are explicit block parentheses
|
|
803 |
as well. These typically achieve a strong forward style of reasoning.
|
7167
|
804 |

805 |
\begin{descr}

\item [$\isarkeyword{next}$] switches to a fresh block within a sub-proof,

807 |
resetting the context to the initial one.
|
|
808 |
\item [$\isarkeyword{\{\{}$ and $\isarkeyword{\}\}}$] explicitly open and
|
|
809 |
close blocks. Any current facts pass through $\isarkeyword{\{\{}$
|
|
810 |
unchanged, while $\isarkeyword{\}\}}$ causes them to be \emph{exported} into
|
7335
|
811 |
the enclosing context. Thus fixed variables are generalized, assumptions
|
|
812 |
discharged, and local definitions eliminated. There is no difference of
|
|
813 |
$\ASSUMENAME$ and $\PRESUMENAME$ here.
