Haven't gone through it all yet but I'd love to know your thoughts on whether the theorem conclusions should be existentially quantified or direct.

I like how nice the theorem statements turn out!

This proves that the term creators in SMT (which are also called 'Factory') are sound with respect to the denotational semantics. Initially the patch was defining a cleaner inductive predicate
DenotePredthat is analogous todenoteTermbut avoids carrying data structures that are necessary to construct the Lean goals.However, this turned out to introduce a big amount of boilerplate code because soundness/completeness of
DenotePredw.r.t.denoteTermturned out to be very big proofs.Instead, this pull request directly uses the
denoteTermand its family functions to state & prove correctnesses.There is one operation in Factory.lean which could not be proven:
quant. Thequantoperation does the following simplification:forall x, forall y, e==>forall x y, e. Proving this was hard because the result ofdenoteTermisTermDenoteResult ctxwhich is a dependent type (ctx : Context)... And rewriting the dependent type position was challenging.By submitting this pull request, I confirm that you can use, modify, copy, and redistribute this contribution, under the terms of your choice.
