Canonical exhaustively searches for terms in dependent type theory.

This respository contains the Rust source code for Canonical. A pre-built version of Canonical is packaged with the canonical Lean tactic

• canonical-compat — The compatiblity layer for Canonical, defining the intermediate representation (IR) of the input format.
• canonical-core
  • core.rs — The type theory of Canonical, with terms, types, metavariables, and explicit substitutions.
  • heuristic.rs — Functions for calculating the entropy metric and metavariable refinement ordering.
  • prover.rs — Parallelized iterative-deepening DFS.
  • search.rs — Utilities for computing entropy, selecting the next metavariable, and testing assignments.
• canonical-lean — Bindings for interfacing with the Lean FFI.

Build the Lean project in the lean directory by opening it in VSCode. This downloads the pre-built Canonical Lean package.

Run python3 build_lean.py to update the dynlib for your platform with a newly compiled version.
