% INTERNAL FUNCTION: mk_predv						%
%									%
% The function mk_predv, given a list of terms:				%
%									%
%      ["t1:ty1"; "t2:ty2"; ...; "tn:tyn"]				%
%									%
% returns a variable P of type:						%
%									%
%      P : ty1 -> ty2 -> ... -> tyn -> bool				%
%									%
% The choice of name `P` is fixed; but the variable may be primed later %
% if it is found to conflict with some other variable name present in 	%
% the rules supplied by the user.				      	%
% --------------------------------------------------------------------- %

% INTERNAL FUNCTION: checkfilter 					%
%									%
% The function checkfilter takes two lists "ps" and "as", where ps is a %
% sublist of as, and returns a function from lists to list. Suppose	%
% that:									%
%									%
%    ps = [u1;...;un]    and    as = [v1;...;vm]			%
%									%
% where {u1,...,un} is a subset of {v1,...,vm}.  Then checkfilter ps as %
% is a function that takes a list					%
%									%
%   l = [w1,...,wm]							%
%									%
% and fails unless l has the same length as the list as and wi=vi for 	%
% all i such that vi is an element of ps.  If checkfilter ps as l 	%
% succeeds, then it returns the sublist of l consisting of those 	%
% elements wi for which the corresponding element vi is not in ps.	%
% --------------------------------------------------------------------- %

       if (null as) then assert null else

% --------------------------------------------------------------------- %
% INTERNAL FUNCTION: checkside						%
%									%
% This function is used to check that the relation R being defined does %
% not occur in a side condition of a rule. It fails with an appropriate %
% error message if R occurs free in tm and otherwise returns tm.	%
% --------------------------------------------------------------------- %

% --------------------------------------------------------------------- %
% INTERNAL FUNCTION : mk_mk_pred					%
%									%
% The arguments to this function are the user-supplied pattern pat, and	%
% the list of global parameters ps (see below for a specification of 	%
% required format of these inputs).  The pattern, pat, is expected to	%
% have the form shown below:						%
%									%
%   pat = "R x1 ... xn"							%
%									%
% and mk_mk_pred fails (with an appropriate message) if:		%
%									%
%   1: pat is not a boolean term					%
%   2: any one of R, x1, ... xn is not a variable			%
%   3: the xi's are not all distinct					%
%									%
% The second argument, ps, is a list of global parameter variables:	%
%									%
%   ["y1",...,"ym"]							%
%									%
% where {"y1",...,"ym"} is expected to be a subset of {"x1",...,"xm"}.	%
% Failure occurs if:							%
%									%
%   1: any one of "y1",...,"ym" is not a variable			%
%   2: any "yi" is not an element of {"x1",...,"xm"}.			%
%   3: the "yi"'s are not all distinct					%
%									%
% A successful call to mk_mk_pred pat ps, where the inputs pat and ps	%
% are as described above, returns a function that maps applications of  %
% the form:								%
%									%
%   "R a1 ... an"							%
%									%
% to applications of the form:						%
%									%
%   "P ai ... aj"							%
%									%
% where ai,...,aj is the subsequence of a1,...,an consisting of those   %
% arguments to R whose positions correspond to the positions of the 	%
% variables in the pattern "R x1 ... xn" that do NOT occur in the 	%
% global paramter list ps. Furthermore, at all other positions (ie at 	%
% those positions that correspond to global parameters) the a's must	%
% be identical to the parameter variables y1,...,ym.			%
%									%
% For example, if:							%
%									%
%   pat = "R x1 x2 x3 x4"   and   ps = ["x1";"x3"]			%
%									%
% then the function returned by mk_mk_pred expects input terms of the 	%
% form "R x1 a1 x3 a2" and maps these to "P a1 a2". Failure occurs if	%
% the agument to this function does not have the correct form.		%
%									%
% For convenience, the function mk_mk_pred also returns the variables	%
% R and P.								%

% INTERNAL FUNCTION : make_rule 					%
% 									%
% The function make_rule takes a user-supplied rule specification:	%
%									%
%   (as, c)   								%
%									%
% where as are the assumptions and side conditions and c is the 	%
% conclusion, and generates the logical representation of the assertion %
% that the relation P (supplied as one of the arguments) closed under	%
% the rule.  The variable ps is the global paramter list, and the	%
% function mkp is the mapping from membership assertions:		%
%									%
%   R a1 ... an   							%
%									%
% which occur in the assumptions as and the conclusion c, to membership %
% assertions of the form:						%
%									%
%   P ai ... aj								%
%									%
% where the global parameters in ps that occur among the arguments 	%
% a1,...,an are eliminated.  In what follows, we let mkp(c) stand for	%
% the result of this operation.						%
%									%
% For an axiom of the form ([],c), the term returned is			%
%									%
%   "!xs.mkp(c)"							%
%									%
% where xs are the variables that occur free in mkp(c). For a rule with	%
% side conditions ss and premisses p1,...,pi, the result is:		%
%									%
%   "!xs. (?zs. mkp(p1) /\ ... /\ mkp(pi) /\ ss) ==> !ys. mkp(c)	%
%									%
% where ys are the variables that appear free only in mkp(c), xz are 	%
% the variables that appear free only in mkp(p1),...,mkp(pi),ss, and xs	%
% are the remaining free variables of the rule.				%
% --------------------------------------------------------------------- %

% INTERNAL FUNCTION : make_definition					%
%									%
% The function make_definition creates an appropriate non-recursive	%
% defining equation for the user-specified inducively-defined predicate %
% described by the pattern pat, the parameter list ps and the rule list %
% rules. (See below for a description of the required format of these	%
% input values).  Error checking of the user input is also done here.	%
%									%
% The rules have the form (as,c), where as are a list of premisses and 	%
% side conditions and c is the conclusion.  Each rule is transformed	%
% into the logical assertion that the relation P is closed under the 	%
% rule (see make_rule above).  Let RULES[P] be the conjunction of these %
% assertions.  Then the smallest relation closed under the rules has	%
% the defining equation:						%
%									%
%   !ps xs. REL ps xs = !P. RULES(ps)[P] ==> P xs			%
%									%
% Note that the rules may depend on the global parameters ps.		%

% INTERNAL FUNCTION : derive_induction					%
%									%
% This derives rule induction from the definition of an inductively	%

%									%
% The input, def, has the form:						%
%									%
%    !ps xs. REL ps xs = !P. RULES(ps)[P] ==> P xs			%
%									%
% where RULES(ps)[P] states that P is closed under the set of rules	%
% RULES(ps) and ps are the global parameters to the rules.		%
%									%
% The output is the rule induction theorem:				%

% and a conversion (term->thm). The conversion maps terms of the form   %
% "P vs" to the theorem:						%

% where the set of variables {p1,...,pn} is a subset of {x1,...,xn} and %

% argument is a list of rules of the form:				%
%									%
%     ([<premisses and side conditions>], <conclusion>)			%
%									%
% Side conditions may be abitrary boolean terms, provided they do not	%

% INTERNAL FUNCTION : TACF						%
%									%
% TACF is used to generate the subgoals for each case in an inductive 	%
% proof.  The argument tm is formula which states one case in the 	%
% the induction. In general, this will take one of the forms:		%
%									%
%   (1) no side condition, no assumptions:				%
%									%
%       tm = !xs. P <args>						%
%									%
%   (2) side condition and/or assumptions:				%
%      									%
%       tm = !xs. (?zs. P <args> /\ SS) ==> !ys. P <args>		%
%									%
% When TACF is applied to tm, a parameterized tactic is returned which	%
% will later be applied to the corresponding subgoal in an induction.   %
% The resulting tactic takes two theorem continuations as arguments.    %
% For a base case, like case 1 above, the resulting tactic just throws	%
% these parameters away and passes the goal on unchanged:		%
%									%
%    \ttac1 ttac2. ALL_TAC						%
%									%
% For a step case, like case 2, the tactic applies GEN_TAC to strip off %
% the xs. It then strips off and breaks into conjuncts the induction	%
% hypotheses.  The theorem continuation ttac1 is then applied to the	%
% premisses and the theorem continuation ttac2 applied to the side 	%
% conditions.								%
