 \begin{isamarkuptext}%

 The Isabelle/Isar theory format integrates specifications and

   proofs, supporting interactive development with unlimited undo

   operation.  There is an integrated document preparation system (see

   \chref{ch:document-prep}), for typesetting formal developments

   together with informal text.  The resulting hyper-linked PDF

   documents can be used both for WWW presentation and printed copies.

   The Isar proof language (see \chref{ch:proofs}) is embedded into the

   theory language as a proper sub-language.  Proof mode is entered by

   stating some \hyperlink{command.theorem}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{theorem}}}} or \hyperlink{command.lemma}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{lemma}}}} at the theory

   level, and left again with the final conclusion (e.g.\ via \hyperlink{command.qed}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{qed}}}}).  Some theory specification mechanisms also require a proof,

   such as \hyperlink{command.typedef}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{typedef}}}} in HOL, which demands non-emptiness of

   the representing sets.%

   Isabelle/Isar theories are defined via theory files, which may

   contain both specifications and proofs; occasionally definitional

   mechanisms also require some explicit proof.  The theory body may be

   sub-structured by means of \emph{local theory targets}, such as

   \hyperlink{command.locale}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{locale}}}} and \hyperlink{command.class}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{class}}}}.

   The first proper command of a theory is \hyperlink{command.theory}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{theory}}}}, which

   indicates imports of previous theories and optional dependencies on

   other source files (usually in ML).  Just preceding the initial

   \hyperlink{command.theory}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{theory}}}} command there may be an optional \hyperlink{command.header}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{header}}}} declaration, which is only relevant to document

   preparation: see also the other section markup commands in

   \secref{sec:markup}.

   A theory is concluded by a final \hyperlink{command.global.end}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{end}}}} command,

   one that does not belong to a local theory target.  No further

   commands may follow such a global \hyperlink{command.global.end}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{end}}}},

   although some user-interfaces might pretend that trailing input is

   admissible.

   starts a new theory \isa{A} based on the merge of existing

   theories \isa{{\isachardoublequote}B\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}\ {\isasymdots}\ B\isactrlsub n{\isachardoublequote}}.

   Due to the possibility to import more than one ancestor, the

   resulting theory structure of an Isabelle session forms a directed

   acyclic graph (DAG).  Isabelle's theory loader ensures that the

   sources contributing to the development graph are always up-to-date:

   changed files are automatically reloaded whenever a theory header

   specification is processed.

   The optional \indexdef{}{keyword}{uses}\hypertarget{keyword.uses}{\hyperlink{keyword.uses}{\mbox{\isa{\isakeyword{uses}}}}} specification declares additional

   dependencies on extra files (usually ML sources).  Files will be

   loaded immediately (as ML), unless the name is parenthesized.  The

   latter case records a dependency that needs to be resolved later in

   the text, usually via explicit \indexref{}{command}{use}\hyperlink{command.use}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{use}}}} for ML files;

   other file formats require specific load commands defined by the

   corresponding tools or packages.

   \item \hyperlink{command.global.end}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{end}}}} concludes the current theory

 \begin{isamarkuptext}%

 A local theory target is a context managed separately within the

   enclosing theory.  Contexts may introduce parameters (fixed

   variables) and assumptions (hypotheses).  Definitions and theorems

   depending on the context may be added incrementally later on.  Named

   contexts refer to locales (cf.\ \secref{sec:locale}) or type classes

   (cf.\ \secref{sec:class}); the name ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharminus}{\isachardoublequote}}'' signifies the

   global theory context.

   \begin{description}

   \item \hyperlink{command.context}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{context}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\ {\isasymBEGIN}{\isachardoublequote}} recommences an

   existing locale or class context \isa{c}.  Note that locale and

   class definitions allow to include the \hyperlink{keyword.begin}{\mbox{\isa{\isakeyword{begin}}}} keyword as

   well, in order to continue the local theory immediately after the

   initial specification.

   \item \hyperlink{command.local.end}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{end}}}} concludes the current local theory

   and continues the enclosing global theory.  Note that a global

   \hyperlink{command.global.end}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{end}}}} has a different meaning: it concludes the

   theory itself (\secref{sec:begin-thy}).

   \item \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharparenleft}{\isachardoublequote}}\indexdef{}{keyword}{in}\hypertarget{keyword.in}{\hyperlink{keyword.in}{\mbox{\isa{\isakeyword{in}}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}c{\isacharparenright}{\isachardoublequote}} given after any

   local theory command specifies an immediate target, e.g.\

   ``\hyperlink{command.definition}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{definition}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharparenleft}{\isasymIN}\ c{\isacharparenright}\ {\isasymdots}{\isachardoublequote}}'' or ``\hyperlink{command.theorem}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{theorem}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharparenleft}{\isasymIN}\ c{\isacharparenright}\ {\isasymdots}{\isachardoublequote}}''.  This works both in a local or

   global theory context; the current target context will be suspended

   for this command only.  Note that ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharparenleft}{\isasymIN}\ {\isacharminus}{\isacharparenright}{\isachardoublequote}}'' will

   always produce a global result independently of the current target

   context.

   \end{description}

   The exact meaning of results produced within a local theory context

   depends on the underlying target infrastructure (locale, type class

   etc.).  The general idea is as follows, considering a context named

   \isa{c} with parameter \isa{x} and assumption \isa{{\isachardoublequote}A{\isacharbrackleft}x{\isacharbrackright}{\isachardoublequote}}.

   Definitions are exported by introducing a global version with

   additional arguments; a syntactic abbreviation links the long form

   with the abstract version of the target context.  For example,

   \isa{{\isachardoublequote}a\ {\isasymequiv}\ t{\isacharbrackleft}x{\isacharbrackright}{\isachardoublequote}} becomes \isa{{\isachardoublequote}c{\isachardot}a\ {\isacharquery}x\ {\isasymequiv}\ t{\isacharbrackleft}{\isacharquery}x{\isacharbrackright}{\isachardoublequote}} at the theory

   level (for arbitrary \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharquery}x{\isachardoublequote}}), together with a local

   abbreviation \isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\ {\isasymequiv}\ c{\isachardot}a\ x{\isachardoublequote}} in the target context (for the

   fixed parameter \isa{x}).

   Theorems are exported by discharging the assumptions and

   generalizing the parameters of the context.  For example, \isa{{\isachardoublequote}a{\isacharcolon}\ B{\isacharbrackleft}x{\isacharbrackright}{\isachardoublequote}} becomes \isa{{\isachardoublequote}c{\isachardot}a{\isacharcolon}\ A{\isacharbrackleft}{\isacharquery}x{\isacharbrackright}\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ B{\isacharbrackleft}{\isacharquery}x{\isacharbrackright}{\isachardoublequote}}, again for arbitrary

   \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharquery}x{\isachardoublequote}}.%

   introduces several constants simultaneously and states axiomatic

   properties for these.  The constants are marked as being specified

   once and for all, which prevents additional specifications being

   issued later on.

   Note that axiomatic specifications are only appropriate when

   declaring a new logical system; axiomatic specifications are

   restricted to global theory contexts.  Normal applications should

   only use definitional mechanisms!

   \item \hyperlink{command.definition}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{definition}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\ {\isasymWHERE}\ eq{\isachardoublequote}} produces an

   internal definition \isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\ {\isasymequiv}\ t{\isachardoublequote}} according to the specification

   given as \isa{eq}, which is then turned into a proven fact.  The

   given proposition may deviate from internal meta-level equality

   according to the rewrite rules declared as \hyperlink{attribute.defn}{\mbox{\isa{defn}}} by the

   object-logic.  This usually covers object-level equality \isa{{\isachardoublequote}x\ {\isacharequal}\ y{\isachardoublequote}} and equivalence \isa{{\isachardoublequote}A\ {\isasymleftrightarrow}\ B{\isachardoublequote}}.  End-users normally need not

   change the \hyperlink{attribute.defn}{\mbox{\isa{defn}}} setup.

   Definitions may be presented with explicit arguments on the LHS, as

   well as additional conditions, e.g.\ \isa{{\isachardoublequote}f\ x\ y\ {\isacharequal}\ t{\isachardoublequote}} instead of

   \isa{{\isachardoublequote}f\ {\isasymequiv}\ {\isasymlambda}x\ y{\isachardot}\ t{\isachardoublequote}} and \isa{{\isachardoublequote}y\ {\isasymnoteq}\ {\isadigit{0}}\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ g\ x\ y\ {\isacharequal}\ u{\isachardoublequote}} instead of an

   unrestricted \isa{{\isachardoublequote}g\ {\isasymequiv}\ {\isasymlambda}x\ y{\isachardot}\ u{\isachardoublequote}}.

   \item \hyperlink{command.abbreviation}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{abbreviation}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\ {\isasymWHERE}\ eq{\isachardoublequote}} introduces a

   syntactic constant which is associated with a certain term according

   to the meta-level equality \isa{eq}.

   Abbreviations participate in the usual type-inference process, but

   are expanded before the logic ever sees them.  Pretty printing of

   terms involves higher-order rewriting with rules stemming from

   reverted abbreviations.  This needs some care to avoid overlapping

   or looping syntactic replacements!

   The optional \isa{mode} specification restricts output to a

   particular print mode; using ``\isa{input}'' here achieves the

   effect of one-way abbreviations.  The mode may also include an

   ``\hyperlink{keyword.output}{\mbox{\isa{\isakeyword{output}}}}'' qualifier that affects the concrete syntax

   declared for abbreviations, cf.\ \hyperlink{command.syntax}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{syntax}}}} in

   \secref{sec:syn-trans}.

   \item \hyperlink{command.print-abbrevs}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{print{\isacharunderscore}abbrevs}}}} prints all constant abbreviations

 A \emph{locale expression} denotes a structured context composed of

   instances of existing locales.  The context consists of a list of

   instances of declaration elements from the locales.  Two locale

   instances are equal if they are of the same locale and the

   parameters are instantiated with equivalent terms.  Declaration

   elements from equal instances are never repeated, thus avoiding

   duplicate declarations.

   A locale instance consists of a reference to a locale and either

   positional or named parameter instantiations.  Identical

   instantiations (that is, those that instante a parameter by itself)

   may be omitted.  The notation `\_' enables to omit the instantiation

   for a parameter inside a positional instantiation.

   Terms in instantiations are from the context the locale expressions

   is declared in.  Local names may be added to this context with the

   optional for clause.  In addition, syntax declarations from one

   instance are effective when parsing subsequent instances of the same

   expression.

   Instances have an optional qualifier which applies to names in

   declarations.  Names include local definitions and theorem names.

   If present, the qualifier itself is either optional

   (``\texttt{?}''), which means that it may be omitted on input of the

   qualified name, or mandatory (``\texttt{!}'').  If neither

   ``\texttt{?}'' nor ``\texttt{!}'' are present, the command's default

   is used.  For \hyperlink{command.interpretation}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{interpretation}}}} and \hyperlink{command.interpret}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{interpret}}}}

   the default is ``mandatory'', for \hyperlink{command.locale}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{locale}}}} and \hyperlink{command.sublocale}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{sublocale}}}} the default is ``optional''.%

   that these parameters may be referred to from within the expression

   and also in the subsequent context elements and provides a

   notational convenience for the inheritance of parameters in locale

   ``\hyperlink{element.defines}{\mbox{\isa{\isakeyword{defines}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}f\ x\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}\ {\isasymdots}\ x\isactrlsub n\ {\isasymequiv}\ t{\isachardoublequote}}''.

   \item \hyperlink{element.notes}{\mbox{\isa{\isakeyword{notes}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}a\ {\isacharequal}\ b\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}\ {\isasymdots}\ b\isactrlsub n{\isachardoublequote}}

   reconsiders facts within a local context.  Most notably, this may

   include arbitrary declarations in any attribute specifications

   included here, e.g.\ a local \hyperlink{attribute.simp}{\mbox{\isa{simp}}} rule.

   The initial \isa{import} specification of a locale expression

   maintains a dynamic relation to the locales being referenced

   (benefiting from any later fact declarations in the obvious manner).

   \end{description}

   Note that ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharparenleft}{\isasymIS}\ p\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}\ {\isasymdots}\ p\isactrlsub n{\isacharparenright}{\isachardoublequote}}'' patterns given

   in the syntax of \hyperlink{element.assumes}{\mbox{\isa{\isakeyword{assumes}}}} and \hyperlink{element.defines}{\mbox{\isa{\isakeyword{defines}}}} above

   are illegal in locale definitions.  In the long goal format of

   \secref{sec:goals}, term bindings may be included as expected,

   though.

   \medskip Locale specifications are ``closed up'' by

   turning the given text into a predicate definition \isa{loc{\isacharunderscore}axioms} and deriving the original assumptions as local lemmas

   (modulo local definitions).  The predicate statement covers only the

   newly specified assumptions, omitting the content of included locale

   expressions.  The full cumulative view is only provided on export,

   involving another predicate \isa{loc} that refers to the complete

   specification text.

   In any case, the predicate arguments are those locale parameters

   that actually occur in the respective piece of text.  Also note that

   these predicates operate at the meta-level in theory, but the locale

   packages attempts to internalize statements according to the

   object-logic setup (e.g.\ replacing \isa{{\isasymAnd}} by \isa{{\isasymforall}}, and

   \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymLongrightarrow}{\isachardoublequote}} by \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymlongrightarrow}{\isachardoublequote}} in HOL; see also

   \secref{sec:object-logic}).  Separate introduction rules \isa{loc{\isacharunderscore}axioms{\isachardot}intro} and \isa{loc{\isachardot}intro} are provided as well.

   \item \hyperlink{command.print-locale}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{print{\isacharunderscore}locale}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}locale{\isachardoublequote}} prints the

   contents of the named locale.  The command omits \hyperlink{element.notes}{\mbox{\isa{\isakeyword{notes}}}}

   elements by default.  Use \hyperlink{command.print-locale}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{print{\isacharunderscore}locale}}}}\isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharbang}{\isachardoublequote}} to

   have them included.

   \item \hyperlink{command.print-locales}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{print{\isacharunderscore}locales}}}} prints the names of all locales

   of the current theory.

   \item \hyperlink{method.intro-locales}{\mbox{\isa{intro{\isacharunderscore}locales}}} and \hyperlink{method.unfold-locales}{\mbox{\isa{unfold{\isacharunderscore}locales}}}

   repeatedly expand all introduction rules of locale predicates of the

   theory.  While \hyperlink{method.intro-locales}{\mbox{\isa{intro{\isacharunderscore}locales}}} only applies the \isa{loc{\isachardot}intro} introduction rules and therefore does not decend to

   assumptions, \hyperlink{method.unfold-locales}{\mbox{\isa{unfold{\isacharunderscore}locales}}} is more aggressive and applies

   \isa{loc{\isacharunderscore}axioms{\isachardot}intro} as well.  Both methods are aware of locale

   specifications entailed by the context, both from target statements,

   and from interpretations (see below).  New goals that are entailed

   by the current context are discharged automatically.

 Locale expressions may be instantiated, and the instantiated facts

   added to the current context.  This requires a proof of the

   instantiated specification and is called \emph{locale

   interpretation}.  Interpretation is possible in locales \hyperlink{command.sublocale}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{sublocale}}}}, theories (command \hyperlink{command.interpretation}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{interpretation}}}}) and

   also within a proof body (command \hyperlink{command.interpret}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{interpret}}}}).

   \item \hyperlink{command.sublocale}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{sublocale}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}name\ {\isasymsubseteq}\ expr{\isachardoublequote}}

   interprets \isa{expr} in the locale \isa{name}.  A proof that

   the specification of \isa{name} implies the specification of

   \isa{expr} is required.  As in the localized version of the

   theorem command, the proof is in the context of \isa{name}.  After

   the proof obligation has been dischared, the facts of \isa{expr}

   become part of locale \isa{name} as \emph{derived} context

   elements and are available when the context \isa{name} is

   subsequently entered.  Note that, like import, this is dynamic:

   facts added to a locale part of \isa{expr} after interpretation

   become also available in \isa{name}.

   Only specification fragments of \isa{expr} that are not already

   part of \isa{name} (be it imported, derived or a derived fragment

   of the import) are considered in this process.  This enables

   circular interpretations to the extent that no infinite chains are

   generated in the locale hierarchy.

   If interpretations of \isa{name} exist in the current theory, the

   command adds interpretations for \isa{expr} as well, with the same

   qualifier, although only for fragments of \isa{expr} that are not

   interpreted in the theory already.

   \item \hyperlink{command.interpretation}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{interpretation}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}expr\ {\isasymWHERE}\ eqns{\isachardoublequote}}

   interprets \isa{expr} in the theory.  The command generates proof

   obligations for the instantiated specifications (assumes and defines

   elements).  Once these are discharged by the user, instantiated

   facts are added to the theory in a post-processing phase.

   Additional equations, which are unfolded during

   post-processing, may be given after the keyword \hyperlink{keyword.where}{\mbox{\isa{\isakeyword{where}}}}.

   This is useful for interpreting concepts introduced through

   definition specification elements.  The equations must be proved.

   The command is aware of interpretations already active in the

   theory, but does not simplify the goal automatically.  In order to

   simplify the proof obligations use methods \hyperlink{method.intro-locales}{\mbox{\isa{intro{\isacharunderscore}locales}}}

   or \hyperlink{method.unfold-locales}{\mbox{\isa{unfold{\isacharunderscore}locales}}}.  Post-processing is not applied to

   facts of interpretations that are already active.  This avoids

   duplication of interpreted facts, in particular.  Note that, in the

   case of a locale with import, parts of the interpretation may

   already be active.  The command will only process facts for new

   parts.

   Adding facts to locales has the effect of adding interpreted facts

   to the theory for all active interpretations also.  That is,

   interpretations dynamically participate in any facts added to

   locales.

   \item \hyperlink{command.interpret}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{interpret}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}expr{\isachardoublequote}}

   interprets \isa{expr} in the proof context and is otherwise

   similar to interpretation in theories.

   \item \hyperlink{command.print-interps}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{print{\isacharunderscore}interps}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}locale{\isachardoublequote}} lists all

   interpretations of \isa{{\isachardoublequote}locale{\isachardoublequote}} in the current theory, including

   those due to a combination of an \hyperlink{command.interpretation}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{interpretation}}}} and

   one or several \hyperlink{command.sublocale}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{sublocale}}}} declarations.

   \end{description}

   \begin{warn}

     Since attributes are applied to interpreted theorems,

     interpretation may modify the context of common proof tools, e.g.\

     the Simplifier or Classical Reasoner.  As the behavior of such

     tools is \emph{not} stable under interpretation morphisms, manual

     declarations might have to be added to the target context of the

     interpretation to revert such declarations.

   \end{warn}

   \begin{warn}

     An interpretation in a theory may subsume previous

     interpretations.  This happens if the same specification fragment

     is interpreted twice and the instantiation of the second

     interpretation is more general than the interpretation of the

     first.  The locale package does not attempt to remove subsumed

     interpretations.

 A class is a particular locale with \emph{exactly one} type variable

   \isa{{\isasymalpha}}.  Beyond the underlying locale, a corresponding type class

   is established which is interpreted logically as axiomatic type

   class \cite{Wenzel:1997:TPHOL} whose logical content are the

   assumptions of the locale.  Thus, classes provide the full

   introduces a locale \isa{c} with import of all locales \isa{superclasses}.

   Any \hyperlink{element.fixes}{\mbox{\isa{\isakeyword{fixes}}}} in \isa{body} are lifted to the global

   theory level (\emph{class operations} \isa{{\isachardoublequote}f\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymdots}{\isacharcomma}\ f\isactrlsub n{\isachardoublequote}} of class \isa{c}), mapping the local type parameter

   Likewise, \hyperlink{element.assumes}{\mbox{\isa{\isakeyword{assumes}}}} in \isa{body} are also lifted,

   mapping each local parameter \isa{{\isachardoublequote}f\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isasymtau}{\isacharbrackleft}{\isasymalpha}{\isacharbrackright}{\isachardoublequote}} to its

A plain \hyperlink{command.instance}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{instance}}}} command in the

   target body poses a goal stating these type arities.  The target is

   concluded by an \indexref{local}{command}{end}\hyperlink{command.local.end}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{end}}}} command.

   Note that a list of simultaneous type constructors may be given;

   this corresponds nicely to mutually recursive type definitions, e.g.\

   in Isabelle/HOL.

   \item \hyperlink{command.instance}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{instance}}}} in an instantiation target body sets

   up a goal stating the type arities claimed at the opening \hyperlink{command.instantiation}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{instantiation}}}}.  The proof would usually proceed by \hyperlink{method.intro-classes}{\mbox{\isa{intro{\isacharunderscore}classes}}}, and then establish the characteristic theorems of

   the type classes involved.  After finishing the proof, the

   background theory will be augmented by the proven type arities.

   On the theory level, \hyperlink{command.instance}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{instance}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}t\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isacharparenleft}s\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymdots}{\isacharcomma}\ s\isactrlsub n{\isacharparenright}s{\isachardoublequote}} provides a convenient way to instantiate a type class with no

   need to specifify operations: one can continue with the

   instantiation proof immediately.

   \item \hyperlink{command.subclass}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{subclass}}}}~\isa{c} in a class context for class

   \isa{d} sets up a goal stating that class \isa{c} is logically

   contained in class \isa{d}.  After finishing the proof, class

   \isa{d} is proven to be subclass \isa{c} and the locale \isa{c} is interpreted into \isa{d} simultaneously.

   A weakend form of this is available through a further variant of

   \hyperlink{command.instance}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{instance}}}}:  \hyperlink{command.instance}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{instance}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}\ {\isasymsubseteq}\ c\isactrlsub {\isadigit{2}}{\isachardoublequote}} opens

   a proof that class \isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\isactrlisub {\isadigit{2}}{\isachardoublequote}} implies \isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\isactrlisub {\isadigit{1}}{\isachardoublequote}} without reference

   to the underlying locales;  this is useful if the properties to prove

   the logical connection are not sufficent on the locale level but on

   the theory level.

   \item \hyperlink{command.print-classes}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{print{\isacharunderscore}classes}}}} prints all classes in the current

   theory.

   \item \hyperlink{command.class-deps}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{class{\isacharunderscore}deps}}}} visualizes all classes and their

   subclass relations as a Hasse diagram.

   \item \hyperlink{method.intro-classes}{\mbox{\isa{intro{\isacharunderscore}classes}}} repeatedly expands all class

   introduction rules of this theory.  Note that this method usually

   needs not be named explicitly, as it is already included in the

   default proof step (e.g.\ of \hyperlink{command.proof}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{proof}}}}).  In particular,

   instantiation of trivial (syntactic) classes may be performed by a

   single ``\hyperlink{command.ddot}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{{\isachardot}{\isachardot}}}}}'' proof step.

 \begin{isamarkuptext}%

 Isabelle/Pure's definitional schemes support certain forms of

   overloading (see \secref{sec:consts}).  Overloading means that a

   constant being declared as \isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isasymalpha}\ decl{\isachardoublequote}} may be

   defined separately on type instances

   \isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isacharparenleft}{\isasymbeta}\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymdots}{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymbeta}\isactrlsub n{\isacharparenright}\ t\ decl{\isachardoublequote}}

   for each type constructor \isa{t}.  At most occassions

   overloading will be used in a Haskell-like fashion together with

   type classes by means of \hyperlink{command.instantiation}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{instantiation}}}} (see

   \secref{sec:class}).  Sometimes low-level overloading is desirable.

   The \hyperlink{command.overloading}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{overloading}}}} target provides a convenient view for

   end-users.

   opens a theory target (cf.\ \secref{sec:target}) which allows to

   specify constants with overloaded definitions.  These are identified

   constants \isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\isactrlsub i{\isachardoublequote}} at particular type instances.  The

   definitions themselves are established using common specification

   tools, using the names \isa{{\isachardoublequote}x\isactrlsub i{\isachardoublequote}} as reference to the

   corresponding constants.  The target is concluded by \hyperlink{command.local.end}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{end}}}}.

   A \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharparenleft}unchecked{\isacharparenright}{\isachardoublequote}} option disables global dependency checks for

   the corresponding definition, which is occasionally useful for

   commands from \isa{{\isachardoublequote}file{\isachardoublequote}}.  The current theory context is passed

   down to the ML toplevel and may be modified, using \verb|Context.>>| or derived ML commands.  The file name is checked with

   the \indexref{}{keyword}{uses}\hyperlink{keyword.uses}{\mbox{\isa{\isakeyword{uses}}}} dependency declaration given in the theory

   header (see also \secref{sec:begin-thy}).

   Top-level ML bindings are stored within the (global or local) theory

   context.

   \item \hyperlink{command.ML}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{ML}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}text{\isachardoublequote}} is similar to \hyperlink{command.use}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{use}}}},

   but executes ML commands directly from the given \isa{{\isachardoublequote}text{\isachardoublequote}}.

   Top-level ML bindings are stored within the (global or local) theory

   context.

   \item \hyperlink{command.ML-prf}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{ML{\isacharunderscore}prf}}}} is analogous to \hyperlink{command.ML}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{ML}}}} but works

   within a proof context.

   Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in a

   purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.

   ML bindings introduced by \hyperlink{command.ML-prf}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{ML{\isacharunderscore}prf}}}} are discarded at the

   end of the proof.

   \item \hyperlink{command.ML-val}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{ML{\isacharunderscore}val}}}} and \hyperlink{command.ML-command}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{ML{\isacharunderscore}command}}}} are diagnostic

   versions of \hyperlink{command.ML}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{ML}}}}, which means that the context may not be

   updated.  \hyperlink{command.ML-val}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{ML{\isacharunderscore}val}}}} echos the bindings produced at the ML

   toplevel, but \hyperlink{command.ML-command}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{ML{\isacharunderscore}command}}}} is silent.

   \item \hyperlink{command.setup}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{setup}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}text{\isachardoublequote}} changes the current theory

   context by applying \isa{{\isachardoublequote}text{\isachardoublequote}}, which refers to an ML expression

   of type \verb|theory -> theory|.  This enables to initialize

   any object-logic specific tools and packages written in ML, for

   example.

   \item \hyperlink{command.local-setup}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{local{\isacharunderscore}setup}}}} is similar to \hyperlink{command.setup}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{setup}}}} for

   a local theory context, and an ML expression of type \verb|local_theory -> local_theory|.  This allows to

   invoke local theory specification packages without going through

   concrete outer syntax, for example.

   \item \hyperlink{command.attribute-setup}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{attribute{\isacharunderscore}setup}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}name\ {\isacharequal}\ text\ description{\isachardoublequote}}

   defines an attribute in the current theory.  The given \isa{{\isachardoublequote}text{\isachardoublequote}} has to be an ML expression of type

   \verb|attribute context_parser|, cf.\ basic parsers defined in

   structure \verb|Args| and \verb|Attrib|.

   In principle, attributes can operate both on a given theorem and the

   implicit context, although in practice only one is modified and the

   other serves as parameter.  Here are examples for these two cases:

 }

 \isamarkuptrue%

 %

 \begin{isamarkuptext}%

 The class relation together with the collection of

   type-constructor arities must obey the principle of

   \emph{co-regularity} as defined below.

   \medskip For the subsequent formulation of co-regularity we assume

   that the class relation is closed by transitivity and reflexivity.

   Moreover the collection of arities \isa{{\isachardoublequote}t\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isacharparenleft}\isactrlvec s{\isacharparenright}c{\isachardoublequote}} is

   completed such that \isa{{\isachardoublequote}t\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isacharparenleft}\isactrlvec s{\isacharparenright}c{\isachardoublequote}} and \isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\ {\isasymsubseteq}\ c{\isacharprime}{\isachardoublequote}}

   implies \isa{{\isachardoublequote}t\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isacharparenleft}\isactrlvec s{\isacharparenright}c{\isacharprime}{\isachardoublequote}} for all such declarations.

   Treating sorts as finite sets of classes (meaning the intersection),

   the class relation \isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}\ {\isasymsubseteq}\ c\isactrlsub {\isadigit{2}}{\isachardoublequote}} is extended to sorts as

   follows:

   \[

     \isa{{\isachardoublequote}s\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}\ {\isasymsubseteq}\ s\isactrlsub {\isadigit{2}}\ {\isasymequiv}\ {\isasymforall}c\isactrlsub {\isadigit{2}}\ {\isasymin}\ s\isactrlsub {\isadigit{2}}{\isachardot}\ {\isasymexists}c\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}\ {\isasymin}\ s\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}{\isachardot}\ c\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}\ {\isasymsubseteq}\ c\isactrlsub {\isadigit{2}}{\isachardoublequote}}

   \]

   This relation on sorts is further extended to tuples of sorts (of

   the same length) in the component-wise way.

   \smallskip Co-regularity of the class relation together with the

   arities relation means:

   \[

     \isa{{\isachardoublequote}t\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isacharparenleft}\isactrlvec s\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}{\isacharparenright}c\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ t\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isacharparenleft}\isactrlvec s\isactrlsub {\isadigit{2}}{\isacharparenright}c\isactrlsub {\isadigit{2}}\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ c\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}\ {\isasymsubseteq}\ c\isactrlsub {\isadigit{2}}\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ \isactrlvec s\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}\ {\isasymsubseteq}\ \isactrlvec s\isactrlsub {\isadigit{2}}{\isachardoublequote}}

   \]

   \noindent for all such arities.  In other words, whenever the result

   classes of some type-constructor arities are related, then the

   argument sorts need to be related in the same way.

   \medskip Co-regularity is a very fundamental property of the

   order-sorted algebra of types.  For example, it entails principle

   types and most general unifiers, e.g.\ see \cite{nipkow-prehofer}.%

 \isamarkupsubsection{Constants and definitions \label{sec:consts}%

 }

 \isamarkuptrue%

 %

 \begin{isamarkuptext}%

 Definitions essentially express abbreviations within the logic.  The

   simplest form of a definition is \isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isasymsigma}\ {\isasymequiv}\ t{\isachardoublequote}}, where \isa{c} is a newly declared constant.  Isabelle also allows derived forms

   where the arguments of \isa{c} appear on the left, abbreviating a

   prefix of \isa{{\isasymlambda}}-abstractions, e.g.\ \isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\ {\isasymequiv}\ {\isasymlambda}x\ y{\isachardot}\ t{\isachardoublequote}} may be

   written more conveniently as \isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\ x\ y\ {\isasymequiv}\ t{\isachardoublequote}}.  Moreover,

   definitions may be weakened by adding arbitrary pre-conditions:

   \isa{{\isachardoublequote}A\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ c\ x\ y\ {\isasymequiv}\ t{\isachardoublequote}}.

   \medskip The built-in well-formedness conditions for definitional

   specifications are:

   \begin{itemize}

   \item Arguments (on the left-hand side) must be distinct variables.

   \item All variables on the right-hand side must also appear on the

   left-hand side.

   \item All type variables on the right-hand side must also appear on

   the left-hand side; this prohibits \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isadigit{0}}\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ nat\ {\isasymequiv}\ length\ {\isacharparenleft}{\isacharbrackleft}{\isacharbrackright}\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isasymalpha}\ list{\isacharparenright}{\isachardoublequote}} for example.

   \item The definition must not be recursive.  Most object-logics

   provide definitional principles that can be used to express

   recursion safely.

   \end{itemize}

   The right-hand side of overloaded definitions may mention overloaded constants

   recursively at type instances corresponding to the immediate

   argument types \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymbeta}\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymdots}{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymbeta}\isactrlsub n{\isachardoublequote}}.  Incomplete

   specification patterns impose global constraints on all occurrences,

   e.g.\ \isa{{\isachardoublequote}d\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isasymalpha}\ {\isasymtimes}\ {\isasymalpha}{\isachardoublequote}} on the left-hand side means that all

   corresponding occurrences on some right-hand side need to be an

   instance of this, general \isa{{\isachardoublequote}d\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isasymalpha}\ {\isasymtimes}\ {\isasymbeta}{\isachardoublequote}} will be disallowed.

   \item \hyperlink{command.consts}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{consts}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isasymsigma}{\isachardoublequote}} declares constant \isa{c} to have any instance of type scheme \isa{{\isasymsigma}}.  The optional

   mixfix annotations may attach concrete syntax to the constants

   declared.

   \item \hyperlink{command.defs}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{defs}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}name{\isacharcolon}\ eqn{\isachardoublequote}} introduces \isa{eqn}

   as a definitional axiom for some existing constant.

   The \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharparenleft}unchecked{\isacharparenright}{\isachardoublequote}} option disables global dependency checks

   for this definition, which is occasionally useful for exotic

   overloading.  It is at the discretion of the user to avoid malformed

   theory specifications!

   The \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharparenleft}overloaded{\isacharparenright}{\isachardoublequote}} option declares definitions to be

   potentially overloaded.  Unless this option is given, a warning

   message would be issued for any definitional equation with a more

   special type than that of the corresponding constant declaration.

   \item \hyperlink{command.constdefs}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{constdefs}}}} combines constant declarations and

   definitions, with type-inference taking care of the most general

   typing of the given specification (the optional type constraint may

   refer to type-inference dummies ``\isa{{\isacharunderscore}}'' as usual).  The

   resulting type declaration needs to agree with that of the

   specification; overloading is \emph{not} supported here!

   The constant name may be omitted altogether, if neither type nor

   syntax declarations are given.  The canonical name of the

   definitional axiom for constant \isa{c} will be \isa{c{\isacharunderscore}def},

   unless specified otherwise.  Also note that the given list of

   specifications is processed in a strictly sequential manner, with

   type-checking being performed independently.

   An optional initial context of \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharparenleft}structure{\isacharparenright}{\isachardoublequote}} declarations

   admits use of indexed syntax, using the special symbol \verb|\<index>| (printed as ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymindex}{\isachardoublequote}}'').  The latter concept is

   particularly useful with locales (see also \secref{sec:locale}).

   \item \hyperlink{command.axioms}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{axioms}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}a{\isacharcolon}\ {\isasymphi}{\isachardoublequote}} introduces arbitrary

   statements as axioms of the meta-logic.  In fact, axioms are

   ``axiomatic theorems'', and may be referred later just as any other

   theorem.

   Axioms are usually only introduced when declaring new logical

   systems.  Everyday work is typically done the hard way, with proper

   definitions and proven theorems.

   \item \hyperlink{command.lemmas}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{lemmas}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}a\ {\isacharequal}\ b\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}\ {\isasymdots}\ b\isactrlsub n{\isachardoublequote}} retrieves and stores

   existing facts in the theory context, or the specified target

   context (see also \secref{sec:target}).  Typical applications would

   also involve attributes, to declare Simplifier rules, for example.

   \item \hyperlink{command.theorems}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{theorems}}}} is essentially the same as \hyperlink{command.lemmas}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{lemmas}}}}, but marks the result as a different kind of facts.

 Oracles allow Isabelle to take advantage of external reasoners

   such as arithmetic decision procedures, model checkers, fast

   tautology checkers or computer algebra systems.  Invoked as an

   oracle, an external reasoner can create arbitrary Isabelle theorems.

   It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the external

   reasoner is as trustworthy as the application requires.  Another

   typical source of errors is the linkup between Isabelle and the

   external tool, not just its concrete implementation, but also the

   required translation between two different logical environments.

   Isabelle merely guarantees well-formedness of the propositions being

   asserted, and records within the internal derivation object how

   presumed theorems depend on unproven suppositions.

   \item \hyperlink{command.oracle}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{oracle}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}name\ {\isacharequal}\ text{\isachardoublequote}} turns the given ML

   expression \isa{{\isachardoublequote}text{\isachardoublequote}} of type \verb|'a -> cterm| into an

   ML function of type \verb|'a -> thm|, which is bound to the

   global identifier \verb|name|.  This acts like an infinitary

   specification of axioms!  Invoking the oracle only works within the

   scope of the resulting theory.

   Isabelle organizes any kind of name declarations (of types,

   constants, theorems etc.) by separate hierarchically structured name

   spaces.  Normally the user does not have to control the behavior of

   name spaces by hand, yet the following commands provide some way to

   do so.

   \begin{description}

   \item \hyperlink{command.global}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{global}}}} and \hyperlink{command.local}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{local}}}} change the current

   name declaration mode.  Initially, theories start in \hyperlink{command.local}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{local}}}} mode, causing all names to be automatically qualified by

   the theory name.  Changing this to \hyperlink{command.global}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{global}}}} causes all

   names to be declared without the theory prefix, until \hyperlink{command.local}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{local}}}} is declared again.

   Note that global names are prone to get hidden accidently later,

   when qualified names of the same base name are introduced.

   \item \hyperlink{command.hide}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{hide}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}space\ names{\isachardoublequote}} fully removes

   declarations from a given name space (which may be \isa{{\isachardoublequote}class{\isachardoublequote}},

   \isa{{\isachardoublequote}type{\isachardoublequote}}, \isa{{\isachardoublequote}const{\isachardoublequote}}, or \isa{{\isachardoublequote}fact{\isachardoublequote}}); with the \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharparenleft}open{\isacharparenright}{\isachardoublequote}} option, only the base name is hidden.  Global

   (unqualified) names may never be hidden.

   Note that hiding name space accesses has no impact on logical

   declarations --- they remain valid internally.  Entities that are no

   longer accessible to the user are printed with the special qualifier

   ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharquery}{\isacharquery}{\isachardoublequote}}'' prefixed to the full internal name.
