-text {*
-  The logical foundations of Isabelle/Isar are that of the Pure logic,
-  which has been introduced as a natural-deduction framework in
-  \cite{paulson700}.  This is essentially the same logic as ``@{text
-  "\<lambda>HOL"}'' in the more abstract setting of Pure Type Systems (PTS)
-  \cite{Barendregt-Geuvers:2001}, although there are some key
-  differences in the specific treatment of simple types in
-  Isabelle/Pure.
-
-  Following type-theoretic parlance, the Pure logic consists of three
-  levels of @{text "\<lambda>"}-calculus with corresponding arrows, @{text
-  "\<Rightarrow>"} for syntactic function space (terms depending on terms), @{text
-  "\<And>"} for universal quantification (proofs depending on terms), and
-  @{text "\<Longrightarrow>"} for implication (proofs depending on proofs).
-
-  Derivations are relative to a logical theory, which declares type
-  constructors, constants, and axioms.  Theory declarations support
-  schematic polymorphism, which is strictly speaking outside the
-  logic.\footnote{This is the deeper logical reason, why the theory
-  context @{text "\<Theta>"} is separate from the proof context @{text "\<Gamma>"}
-  of the core calculus.}

-section {* Types \label{sec:types} *}
-
-text {*
-  The language of types is an uninterpreted order-sorted first-order
-  algebra; types are qualified by ordered type classes.
-
-  \medskip A \emph{type class} is an abstract syntactic entity
-  declared in the theory context.  The \emph{subclass relation} @{text
-  "c\<^isub>1 \<subseteq> c\<^isub>2"} is specified by stating an acyclic
-  generating relation; the transitive closure is maintained
-  internally.  The resulting relation is an ordering: reflexive,
-  transitive, and antisymmetric.
-
-  A \emph{sort} is a list of type classes written as @{text "s =
-  {c\<^isub>1, \<dots>, c\<^isub>m}"}, which represents symbolic
-  intersection.  Notationally, the curly braces are omitted for
-  singleton intersections, i.e.\ any class @{text "c"} may be read as
-  a sort @{text "{c}"}.  The ordering on type classes is extended to
-  sorts according to the meaning of intersections: @{text
-  "{c\<^isub>1, \<dots> c\<^isub>m} \<subseteq> {d\<^isub>1, \<dots>, d\<^isub>n}"} iff
-  @{text "\<forall>j. \<exists>i. c\<^isub>i \<subseteq> d\<^isub>j"}.  The empty intersection
-  @{text "{}"} refers to the universal sort, which is the largest
-  element wrt.\ the sort order.  The intersections of all (finitely
-  many) classes declared in the current theory are the minimal
-  elements wrt.\ the sort order.
-
-  \medskip A \emph{fixed type variable} is a pair of a basic name
-  (starting with a @{text "'"} character) and a sort constraint, e.g.\
-  @{text "('a, s)"} which is usually printed as @{text "\<alpha>\<^isub>s"}.
-  A \emph{schematic type variable} is a pair of an indexname and a
-  sort constraint, e.g.\ @{text "(('a, 0), s)"} which is usually
-  printed as @{text "?\<alpha>\<^isub>s"}.
-
-  Note that \emph{all} syntactic components contribute to the identity
-  of type variables, including the sort constraint.  The core logic
-  handles type variables with the same name but different sorts as
-  different, although some outer layers of the system make it hard to
-  produce anything like this.
-
-  A \emph{type constructor} @{text "\<kappa>"} is a @{text "k"}-ary operator
-  on types declared in the theory.  Type constructor application is
-  written postfix as @{text "(\<alpha>\<^isub>1, \<dots>, \<alpha>\<^isub>k)\<kappa>"}.  For
-  @{text "k = 0"} the argument tuple is omitted, e.g.\ @{text "prop"}
-  instead of @{text "()prop"}.  For @{text "k = 1"} the parentheses
-  are omitted, e.g.\ @{text "\<alpha> list"} instead of @{text "(\<alpha>)list"}.
-  Further notation is provided for specific constructors, notably the
-  right-associative infix @{text "\<alpha> \<Rightarrow> \<beta>"} instead of @{text "(\<alpha>,
-  \<beta>)fun"}.
-  
-  A \emph{type} is defined inductively over type variables and type
-  constructors as follows: @{text "\<tau> = \<alpha>\<^isub>s | ?\<alpha>\<^isub>s |
-  (\<tau>\<^sub>1, \<dots>, \<tau>\<^sub>k)\<kappa>"}.
-
-  A \emph{type abbreviation} is a syntactic definition @{text
-  "(\<^vec>\<alpha>)\<kappa> = \<tau>"} of an arbitrary type expression @{text "\<tau>"} over
-  variables @{text "\<^vec>\<alpha>"}.  Type abbreviations appear as type
-  constructors in the syntax, but are expanded before entering the
-  logical core.
-
-  A \emph{type arity} declares the image behavior of a type
-  constructor wrt.\ the algebra of sorts: @{text "\<kappa> :: (s\<^isub>1, \<dots>,
-  s\<^isub>k)s"} means that @{text "(\<tau>\<^isub>1, \<dots>, \<tau>\<^isub>k)\<kappa>"} is
-  of sort @{text "s"} if every argument type @{text "\<tau>\<^isub>i"} is
-  of sort @{text "s\<^isub>i"}.  Arity declarations are implicitly
-  completed, i.e.\ @{text "\<kappa> :: (\<^vec>s)c"} entails @{text "\<kappa> ::
-  (\<^vec>s)c'"} for any @{text "c' \<supseteq> c"}.
-
-  \medskip The sort algebra is always maintained as \emph{coregular},
-  which means that type arities are consistent with the subclass
-  relation: for any type constructor @{text "\<kappa>"}, and classes @{text
-  "c\<^isub>1 \<subseteq> c\<^isub>2"}, and arities @{text "\<kappa> ::
-  (\<^vec>s\<^isub>1)c\<^isub>1"} and @{text "\<kappa> ::
-  (\<^vec>s\<^isub>2)c\<^isub>2"} holds @{text "\<^vec>s\<^isub>1 \<subseteq>
-  \<^vec>s\<^isub>2"} component-wise.
-
-  The key property of a coregular order-sorted algebra is that sort
-  constraints can be solved in a most general fashion: for each type
-  constructor @{text "\<kappa>"} and sort @{text "s"} there is a most general
-  vector of argument sorts @{text "(s\<^isub>1, \<dots>, s\<^isub>k)"} such
-  that a type scheme @{text "(\<alpha>\<^bsub>s\<^isub>1\<^esub>, \<dots>,
-  \<alpha>\<^bsub>s\<^isub>k\<^esub>)\<kappa>"} is of sort @{text "s"}.
-  Consequently, type unification has most general solutions (modulo
-  equivalence of sorts), so type-inference produces primary types as
-  expected \cite{nipkow-prehofer}.

-section {* Terms \label{sec:terms} *}
-
-text {*
-  \glossary{Term}{FIXME}
-
-  The language of terms is that of simply-typed @{text "\<lambda>"}-calculus
-  with de-Bruijn indices for bound variables (cf.\ \cite{debruijn72}
-  or \cite{paulson-ml2}), with the types being determined determined
-  by the corresponding binders.  In contrast, free variables and
-  constants are have an explicit name and type in each occurrence.
-
-  \medskip A \emph{bound variable} is a natural number @{text "b"},
-  which accounts for the number of intermediate binders between the
-  variable occurrence in the body and its binding position.  For
-  example, the de-Bruijn term @{text
-  "\<lambda>\<^bsub>nat\<^esub>. \<lambda>\<^bsub>nat\<^esub>. 1 + 0"} would
-  correspond to @{text
-  "\<lambda>x\<^bsub>nat\<^esub>. \<lambda>y\<^bsub>nat\<^esub>. x + y"} in a named
-  representation.  Note that a bound variable may be represented by
-  different de-Bruijn indices at different occurrences, depending on
-  the nesting of abstractions.
-
-  A \emph{loose variable} is a bound variable that is outside the
-  scope of local binders.  The types (and names) for loose variables
-  can be managed as a separate context, that is maintained as a stack
-  of hypothetical binders.  The core logic operates on closed terms,
-  without any loose variables.
-
-  A \emph{fixed variable} is a pair of a basic name and a type, e.g.\
-  @{text "(x, \<tau>)"} which is usually printed @{text "x\<^isub>\<tau>"}.  A
-  \emph{schematic variable} is a pair of an indexname and a type,
-  e.g.\ @{text "((x, 0), \<tau>)"} which is usually printed as @{text
-  "?x\<^isub>\<tau>"}.
-
-  \medskip A \emph{constant} is a pair of a basic name and a type,
-  e.g.\ @{text "(c, \<tau>)"} which is usually printed as @{text
-  "c\<^isub>\<tau>"}.  Constants are declared in the context as polymorphic
-  families @{text "c :: \<sigma>"}, meaning that all substitution instances
-  @{text "c\<^isub>\<tau>"} for @{text "\<tau> = \<sigma>\<vartheta>"} are valid.
-
-  The vector of \emph{type arguments} of constant @{text "c\<^isub>\<tau>"}
-  wrt.\ the declaration @{text "c :: \<sigma>"} is defined as the codomain of
-  the matcher @{text "\<vartheta> = {?\<alpha>\<^isub>1 \<mapsto> \<tau>\<^isub>1, \<dots>,
-  ?\<alpha>\<^isub>n \<mapsto> \<tau>\<^isub>n}"} presented in canonical order @{text
-  "(\<tau>\<^isub>1, \<dots>, \<tau>\<^isub>n)"}.  Within a given theory context,
-  there is a one-to-one correspondence between any constant @{text
-  "c\<^isub>\<tau>"} and the application @{text "c(\<tau>\<^isub>1, \<dots>,
-  \<tau>\<^isub>n)"} of its type arguments.  For example, with @{text "plus
-  :: \<alpha> \<Rightarrow> \<alpha> \<Rightarrow> \<alpha>"}, the instance @{text "plus\<^bsub>nat \<Rightarrow> nat \<Rightarrow>
-  nat\<^esub>"} corresponds to @{text "plus(nat)"}.
-
-  Constant declarations @{text "c :: \<sigma>"} may contain sort constraints
-  for type variables in @{text "\<sigma>"}.  These are observed by
-  type-inference as expected, but \emph{ignored} by the core logic.
-  This means the primitive logic is able to reason with instances of
-  polymorphic constants that the user-level type-checker would reject
-  due to violation of type class restrictions.
-
-  \medskip An \emph{atomic} term is either a variable or constant.  A
-  \emph{term} is defined inductively over atomic terms, with
-  abstraction and application as follows: @{text "t = b | x\<^isub>\<tau> |
-  ?x\<^isub>\<tau> | c\<^isub>\<tau> | \<lambda>\<^isub>\<tau>. t | t\<^isub>1 t\<^isub>2"}.
-  Parsing and printing takes care of converting between an external
-  representation with named bound variables.  Subsequently, we shall
-  use the latter notation instead of internal de-Bruijn
-  representation.
-
-  The inductive relation @{text "t :: \<tau>"} assigns a (unique) type to a
-  term according to the structure of atomic terms, abstractions, and
-  applicatins:
-  \[
-  \infer{@{text "a\<^isub>\<tau> :: \<tau>"}}{}
-  \qquad
-  \infer{@{text "(\<lambda>x\<^sub>\<tau>. t) :: \<tau> \<Rightarrow> \<sigma>"}}{@{text "t :: \<sigma>"}}
-  \qquad
-  \infer{@{text "t u :: \<sigma>"}}{@{text "t :: \<tau> \<Rightarrow> \<sigma>"} & @{text "u :: \<tau>"}}
-  \]
-  A \emph{well-typed term} is a term that can be typed according to these rules.
-
-  Typing information can be omitted: type-inference is able to
-  reconstruct the most general type of a raw term, while assigning
-  most general types to all of its variables and constants.
-  Type-inference depends on a context of type constraints for fixed
-  variables, and declarations for polymorphic constants.
-
-  The identity of atomic terms consists both of the name and the type
-  component.  This means that different variables @{text
-  "x\<^bsub>\<tau>\<^isub>1\<^esub>"} and @{text
-  "x\<^bsub>\<tau>\<^isub>2\<^esub>"} may become the same after type
-  instantiation.  Some outer layers of the system make it hard to
-  produce variables of the same name, but different types.  In
-  contrast, mixed instances of polymorphic constants occur frequently.
-
-  \medskip The \emph{hidden polymorphism} of a term @{text "t :: \<sigma>"}
-  is the set of type variables occurring in @{text "t"}, but not in
-  @{text "\<sigma>"}.  This means that the term implicitly depends on type
-  arguments that are not accounted in the result type, i.e.\ there are
-  different type instances @{text "t\<vartheta> :: \<sigma>"} and @{text
-  "t\<vartheta>' :: \<sigma>"} with the same type.  This slightly
-  pathological situation notoriously demands additional care.
-
-  \medskip A \emph{term abbreviation} is a syntactic definition @{text
-  "c\<^isub>\<sigma> \<equiv> t"} of a closed term @{text "t"} of type @{text "\<sigma>"},
-  without any hidden polymorphism.  A term abbreviation looks like a
-  constant in the syntax, but is expanded before entering the logical
-  core.  Abbreviations are usually reverted when printing terms, using
-  @{text "t \<rightarrow> c\<^isub>\<sigma>"} as rules for higher-order rewriting.
-
-  \medskip Canonical operations on @{text "\<lambda>"}-terms include @{text
-  "\<alpha>\<beta>\<eta>"}-conversion: @{text "\<alpha>"}-conversion refers to capture-free
-  renaming of bound variables; @{text "\<beta>"}-conversion contracts an
-  abstraction applied to an argument term, substituting the argument
-  in the body: @{text "(\<lambda>x. b)a"} becomes @{text "b[a/x]"}; @{text
-  "\<eta>"}-conversion contracts vacuous application-abstraction: @{text
-  "\<lambda>x. f x"} becomes @{text "f"}, provided that the bound variable
-  does not occur in @{text "f"}.
-
-  Terms are normally treated modulo @{text "\<alpha>"}-conversion, which is
-  implicit in the de-Bruijn representation.  Names for bound variables
-  in abstractions are maintained separately as (meaningless) comments,
-  mostly for parsing and printing.  Full @{text "\<alpha>\<beta>\<eta>"}-conversion is
-  commonplace in various standard operations (\secref{sec:obj-rules})
-  that are based on higher-order unification and matching.

-
-  The introduction and elimination rules for @{text "\<And>"} and @{text
-  "\<Longrightarrow>"} are analogous to formation of dependently typed @{text
-  "\<lambda>"}-terms representing the underlying proof objects.  Proof terms
-  are irrelevant in the Pure logic, though; they cannot occur within
-  propositions.  The system provides a runtime option to record
-  explicit proof terms for primitive inferences.  Thus all three
-  levels of @{text "\<lambda>"}-calculus become explicit: @{text "\<Rightarrow>"} for
-  terms, and @{text "\<And>/\<Longrightarrow>"} for proofs (cf.\
-  \cite{Berghofer-Nipkow:2000:TPHOL}).
-
-  Observe that locally fixed parameters (as in @{text "\<And>_intro"}) need
-  not be recorded in the hypotheses, because the simple syntactic
-  types of Pure are always inhabitable.  ``Assumptions'' @{text "x ::
-  \<tau>"} for type-membership are only present as long as some @{text
-  "x\<^isub>\<tau>"} occurs in the statement body.\footnote{This is the key
-  difference to ``@{text "\<lambda>HOL"}'' in the PTS framework
-  \cite{Barendregt-Geuvers:2001}, where hypotheses @{text "x : A"} are
-  treated uniformly for propositions and types.}
-
-  \medskip The axiomatization of a theory is implicitly closed by
-  forming all instances of type and term variables: @{text "\<turnstile>
-  A\<vartheta>"} holds for any substitution instance of an axiom
-  @{text "\<turnstile> A"}.  By pushing substitutions through derivations
-  inductively, we also get admissible @{text "generalize"} and @{text
-  "instance"} rules as shown in \figref{fig:subst-rules}.
-
-  \begin{figure}[htb]

-  \]
-  \caption{Admissible substitution rules}\label{fig:subst-rules}
-  \end{center}
-  \end{figure}
-
-  Note that @{text "instantiate"} does not require an explicit
-  side-condition, because @{text "\<Gamma>"} may never contain schematic
-  variables.
-
-  In principle, variables could be substituted in hypotheses as well,
-  but this would disrupt the monotonicity of reasoning: deriving
-  @{text "\<Gamma>\<vartheta> \<turnstile> B\<vartheta>"} from @{text "\<Gamma> \<turnstile> B"} is
-  correct, but @{text "\<Gamma>\<vartheta> \<supseteq> \<Gamma>"} does not necessarily hold:
-  the result belongs to a different proof context.
-
-  \medskip An \emph{oracle} is a function that produces axioms on the
-  fly.  Logically, this is an instance of the @{text "axiom"} rule
-  (\figref{fig:prim-rules}), but there is an operational difference.
-  The system always records oracle invocations within derivations of
-  theorems.  Tracing plain axioms (and named theorems) is optional.
-
-  Axiomatizations should be limited to the bare minimum, typically as
-  part of the initial logical basis of an object-logic formalization.
-  Later on, theories are usually developed in a strictly definitional
-  fashion, by stating only certain equalities over new constants.
-
-  A \emph{simple definition} consists of a constant declaration @{text
-  "c :: \<sigma>"} together with an axiom @{text "\<turnstile> c \<equiv> t"}, where @{text "t
-  :: \<sigma>"} is a closed term without any hidden polymorphism.  The RHS
-  may depend on further defined constants, but not @{text "c"} itself.
-  Definitions of functions may be presented as @{text "c \<^vec>x \<equiv>
-  t"} instead of the puristic @{text "c \<equiv> \<lambda>\<^vec>x. t"}.
-
-  An \emph{overloaded definition} consists of a collection of axioms
-  for the same constant, with zero or one equations @{text
-  "c((\<^vec>\<alpha>)\<kappa>) \<equiv> t"} for each type constructor @{text "\<kappa>"} (for
-  distinct variables @{text "\<^vec>\<alpha>"}).  The RHS may mention
-  previously defined constants as above, or arbitrary constants @{text
-  "d(\<alpha>\<^isub>i)"} for some @{text "\<alpha>\<^isub>i"} projected from @{text
-  "\<^vec>\<alpha>"}.  Thus overloaded definitions essentially work by
-  primitive recursion over the syntactic structure of a single type
-  argument.

-text {*
-  Theory @{text "Pure"} provides a few auxiliary definitions, see

-
-  Derived conjunction rules include introduction @{text "A \<Longrightarrow> B \<Longrightarrow> A &
-  B"}, and destructions @{text "A & B \<Longrightarrow> A"} and @{text "A & B \<Longrightarrow> B"}.
-  Conjunction allows to treat simultaneous assumptions and conclusions
-  uniformly.  For example, multiple claims are intermediately
-  represented as explicit conjunction, but this is refined into
-  separate sub-goals before the user continues the proof; the final
-  result is projected into a list of theorems (cf.\
-  \secref{sec:tactical-goals}).
-
-  The @{text "prop"} marker (@{text "#"}) makes arbitrarily complex
-  propositions appear as atomic, without changing the meaning: @{text
-  "\<Gamma> \<turnstile> A"} and @{text "\<Gamma> \<turnstile> #A"} are interchangeable.  See
-  \secref{sec:tactical-goals} for specific operations.
-
-  The @{text "term"} marker turns any well-typed term into a derivable
-  proposition: @{text "\<turnstile> TERM t"} holds unconditionally.  Although
-  this is logically vacuous, it allows to treat terms and proofs
-  uniformly, similar to a type-theoretic framework.
-
-  The @{text "TYPE"} constructor is the canonical representative of
-  the unspecified type @{text "\<alpha> itself"}; it essentially injects the
-  language of types into that of terms.  There is specific notation
-  @{text "TYPE(\<tau>)"} for @{text "TYPE\<^bsub>\<tau>
- itself\<^esub>"}.
-  Although being devoid of any particular meaning, the @{text
-  "TYPE(\<tau>)"} accounts for the type @{text "\<tau>"} within the term
-  language.  In particular, @{text "TYPE(\<alpha>)"} may be used as formal
-  argument in primitive definitions, in order to circumvent hidden
-  polymorphism (cf.\ \secref{sec:terms}).  For example, @{text "c
-  TYPE(\<alpha>) \<equiv> A[\<alpha>]"} defines @{text "c :: \<alpha> itself \<Rightarrow> prop"} in terms of
-  a proposition @{text "A"} that depends on an additional type
-  argument, which is essentially a predicate on types.

-FIXME
-
-  A \emph{rule} is any Pure theorem in HHF normal form; there is a
-  separate calculus for rule composition, which is modeled after
-  Gentzen's Natural Deduction \cite{Gentzen:1935}, but allows
-  rules to be nested arbitrarily, similar to \cite{extensions91}.
-
-  Normally, all theorems accessible to the user are proper rules.
-  Low-level inferences are occasional required internally, but the
-  result should be always presented in canonical form.  The higher
-  interfaces of Isabelle/Isar will always produce proper rules.  It is
-  important to maintain this invariant in add-on applications!
-
-  There are two main principles of rule composition: @{text
-  "resolution"} (i.e.\ backchaining of rules) and @{text
-  "by-assumption"} (i.e.\ closing a branch); both principles are
-  combined in the variants of @{text "elim-resolution"} and @{text
-  "dest-resolution"}.  Raw @{text "composition"} is occasionally
-  useful as well, also it is strictly speaking outside of the proper
-  rule calculus.
-
-  Rules are treated modulo general higher-order unification, which is
-  unification modulo the equational theory of @{text "\<alpha>\<beta>\<eta>"}-conversion
-  on @{text "\<lambda>"}-terms.  Moreover, propositions are understood modulo
-  the (derived) equivalence @{text "(A \<Longrightarrow> (\<And>x. B x)) \<equiv> (\<And>x. A \<Longrightarrow> B x)"}.
-
-  This means that any operations within the rule calculus may be
-  subject to spontaneous @{text "\<alpha>\<beta>\<eta>"}-HHF conversions.  It is common
-  practice not to contract or expand unnecessarily.  Some mechanisms
-  prefer an one form, others the opposite, so there is a potential
-  danger to produce some oscillation!
-
-  Only few operations really work \emph{modulo} HHF conversion, but
-  expect a normal form: quantifiers @{text "\<And>"} before implications
-  @{text "\<Longrightarrow>"} at each level of nesting.
