Require Import LNameless_STLC_Iso.
Require Import LN_Template_One_Sort.


Step 3. Importing the infrastructure


The first thing to do is to import a suitable template for STLC using isomorphisms for typ and trm.

Module Export M := PWellFormed Iso_typ Iso_trm.

This is included in LN_Template_One_Sort.

In the imported template, some definitions and many lemmas about their properties are already included.

Step 4. Start of Formalization



4-1. Definitions


Notation "{ k ~> u } t" := (Tbsubst t k u) (at level 67).
Notation "t ^^ u" := (Tbsubst t 0 u) (at level 67).
Notation "t ^ x" := (Tbsubst t 0 (trm_fvar x)).

Typing relation

Reserved Notation "E |= t ~: T" (at level 69).

Inductive typing : env typ -> trm -> typ -> Prop :=
| typing_var : forall E x T,
  uniq E ->
  binds x T E ->
  E |= (trm_fvar x) ~: T
| typing_abs : forall L E U T t1,
  (forall x, x `notin` L ->
    (x ~ U ++ E) |= t1 ^ x ~: T) ->
  E |= (trm_abs t1) ~: (typ_arrow U T)
| typing_app : forall S T E t1 t2,
  E |= t1 ~: (typ_arrow S T) ->
    E |= t2 ~: S ->
      E |= (trm_app t1 t2) ~: T

        where "E |= t ~: T" := (typing E t T).

Definition of values (only abstractions are values)

Inductive value : trm -> Prop :=
| value_abs : forall t1,
  TwfT (trm_abs t1) -> value (trm_abs t1).

Reduction relation - one step in call-by-value

Inductive red : trm -> trm -> Prop :=
| red_beta : forall t1 t2,
  TwfT (trm_abs t1) ->
  value t2 ->
  red (trm_app (trm_abs t1) t2) (t1 ^^ t2)
| red_app_1 : forall t1 t1' t2,
  TwfT t2 ->
  red t1 t1' ->
    red (trm_app t1 t2) (trm_app t1' t2)
| red_app_2 : forall t1 t2 t2',
  value t1 ->
  red t2 t2' ->
    red (trm_app t1 t2) (trm_app t1 t2').

Notation "t ---> t'" := (red t t') (at level 68).

Goal is to prove preservation and progress

Definition preservation := forall E t t' T,
  E |= t ~: T ->
    t ---> t' ->
    E |= t' ~: T.

Definition progress := forall t T,
  empty_env |= t ~: T ->
    value t
    \/ exists t', t ---> t'.
