(** * Logic: Logic in Coq *)

Require Export MoreCoq.



(** Coq's built-in logic is very small: the only primitives are
    [Inductive] definitions, universal quantification ([forall]), and
    implication ([->]), while all the other familiar logical
    connectives -- conjunction, disjunction, negation, existential
    quantification, even equality -- can be encoded using just these.

    This chapter explains the encodings and shows how the tactics
    we've seen can be used to carry out standard forms of logical
    reasoning involving these connectives. *)

(* ########################################################### *)
(** * Propositions *)

(** In previous chapters, we have seen many examples of factual
    claims (_propositions_) and ways of presenting evidence of their
    truth (_proofs_).  In particular, we have worked extensively with
    _equality propositions_ of the form [e1 = e2], with
    implications ([P -> Q]), and with quantified propositions
    ([forall x, P]).
*)


(** In Coq, the type of things that can (potentially)
    be proven is [Prop]. *)

(** Here is an example of a provable proposition: *)

Check (3 = 3).
(* ===> Prop *)

(** Here is an example of an unprovable proposition: *)

Check (forall (n:nat), n = 2).
(* ===> Prop *)

(** Recall that [Check] asks Coq to tell us the type of the indicated
  expression. *)

(* ########################################################### *)
(** * Proofs and Evidence *)

(** In Coq, propositions have the same status as other types, such as
    [nat].  Just as the natural numbers [0], [1], [2], etc. inhabit
    the type [nat], a Coq proposition [P] is inhabited by its
    _proofs_.  We will refer to such inhabitants as _proof term_ or
    _proof object_ or _evidence_ for the truth of [P].

    In Coq, when we state and then prove a lemma such as:

Lemma silly : 0 * 3 = 0.
Proof. reflexivity. Qed.

    the tactics we use within the [Proof]...[Qed] keywords tell Coq
    how to construct a proof term that inhabits the proposition.  In
    this case, the proposition [0 * 3 = 0] is justified by a
    combination of the _definition_ of [mult], which says that [0 * 3]
    _simplifies_ to just [0], and the _reflexive_ principle of
    equality, which says that [0 = 0].


*)

(** *** *)

Lemma silly : 0 * 3 = 0.
Proof. reflexivity. Qed.

(** We can see which proof term Coq constructs for a given Lemma by
using the [Print] directive: *)

Print silly.
(* ===> silly = eq_refl : 0 * 3 = 0 *)

(** Here, the [eq_refl] proof term witnesses the equality. (More on equality later!)*)

(** ** Implications _are_ functions *)

(** Just as we can implement natural number multiplication as a
function:

[
mult : nat -> nat -> nat
]

The _proof term_ for an implication [P -> Q] is a _function_ that takes evidence for [P] as input and produces evidence for [Q] as its output.
*)

Lemma silly_implication : (1 + 1) = 2  ->  0 * 3 = 0.
Proof. intros H. reflexivity. Qed.

(** We can see that the proof term for the above lemma is indeed a
function: *)

Print silly_implication.
(* ===> silly_implication = fun _ : 1 + 1 = 2 => eq_refl
     : 1 + 1 = 2 -> 0 * 3 = 0 *)

(** ** Defining Propositions *)

(** Just as we can create user-defined inductive types (like the
    lists, binary representations of natural numbers, etc., that we
    seen before), we can also create _user-defined_ propositions.

    Question: How do you define the meaning of a proposition?
*)

(** *** *)

(** The meaning of a proposition is given by _rules_ and _definitions_
    that say how to construct _evidence_ for the truth of the
    proposition from other evidence.

    - Typically, rules are defined _inductively_, just like any other datatype.

    - Sometimes a proposition is declared to be true without substantiating evidence.  Such propositions are called _axioms_.


    In this, and subsequence chapters, we'll see more about how these
    proof terms work in more detail.
*)

(* ########################################################### *)
(** * Conjunction (Logical "and") *)

(** The logical conjunction of propositions [P] and [Q] can be
    represented using an [Inductive] definition with one
    constructor. *)

Inductive and (P Q : Prop) : Prop :=
  conj : P -> Q -> (and P Q).

(** The intuition behind this definition is simple: to
    construct evidence for [and P Q], we must provide evidence
    for [P] and evidence for [Q].  More precisely:

    - [conj p q] can be taken as evidence for [and P Q] if [p]
      is evidence for [P] and [q] is evidence for [Q]; and

    - this is the _only_ way to give evidence for [and P Q] --
      that is, if someone gives us evidence for [and P Q], we
      know it must have the form [conj p q], where [p] is
      evidence for [P] and [q] is evidence for [Q].

   Since we'll be using conjunction a lot, let's introduce a more
   familiar-looking infix notation for it. *)

Notation "P /\ Q" := (and P Q) : type_scope.

(** (The [type_scope] annotation tells Coq that this notation
    will be appearing in propositions, not values.) *)

(** Consider the "type" of the constructor [conj]: *)

Check conj.
(* ===>  forall P Q : Prop, P -> Q -> P /\ Q *)

(** Notice that it takes 4 inputs -- namely the propositions [P]
    and [Q] and evidence for [P] and [Q] -- and returns as output the
    evidence of [P /\ Q]. *)

(** ** "Introducing" Conjuctions *)
(** Besides the elegance of building everything up from a tiny
    foundation, what's nice about defining conjunction this way is
    that we can prove statements involving conjunction using the
    tactics that we already know.  For example, if the goal statement
    is a conjuction, we can prove it by applying the single
    constructor [conj], which (as can be seen from the type of [conj])
    solves the current goal and leaves the two parts of the
    conjunction as subgoals to be proved separately. *)

Theorem and_example :
  (0 = 0) /\ (4 = mult 2 2).
Proof.
  apply conj.
  Case "left". reflexivity.
  Case "right". reflexivity.  Qed.

(** Just for convenience, we can use the tactic [split] as a shorthand for
    [apply conj]. *)

Theorem and_example' :
  (0 = 0) /\ (4 = mult 2 2).
Proof.
  split.
    Case "left". reflexivity.
    Case "right". reflexivity.  Qed.

(** ** "Eliminating" conjunctions *)
(** Conversely, the [inversion] tactic can be used to take a
    conjunction hypothesis in the context, calculate what evidence
    must have been used to build it, and add variables representing
    this evidence to the proof context. *)

Theorem proj1 : forall P Q : Prop,
  P /\ Q -> P.
Proof.
  intros P Q H.
  inversion H as [HP HQ].
  apply HP.  Qed.

(** **** Exercise: 2 stars (and_assoc) *)
(** In the following proof, notice how the _nested pattern_ in the
    [inversion] breaks the hypothesis [H : P /\ (Q /\ R)] down into
    [HP: P], [HQ : Q], and [HR : R].  Finish the proof from there: *)

(* ###################################################### *)
(** * Iff *)

(** The handy "if and only if" connective is just the conjunction of
    two implications. *)

Definition iff (P Q : Prop) := (P -> Q) /\ (Q -> P).

Notation "P <-> Q" := (iff P Q)
                      (at level 95, no associativity)
                      : type_scope.

Theorem iff_implies : forall P Q : Prop,
  (P <-> Q) -> P -> Q.
Proof.
  intros P Q H.

Theorem iff_sym : forall P Q : Prop,

    Case "->". apply HBA.
    Case "<-". apply HAB.  Qed.

(** **** Exercise: 1 star, optional (iff_properties) *)
(** Using the above proof that [<->] is symmetric ([iff_sym]) as
    a guide, prove that it is also reflexive and transitive. *)

Theorem iff_refl : forall P : Prop,
  P <-> P.
Proof.
  intros. split; intros; apply H.  Qed.

Theorem iff_trans : forall P Q R : Prop,
  (P <-> Q) -> (Q <-> R) -> (P <-> R).
Proof.
  intros. split. intros.
    inversion H as [HP HQ].
      inversion H0 as [H0Q H0R].
      apply H0Q. apply HP. apply H1.
    inversion H as [HP HQ].
      inversion H0 as [H0Q H0R].
      intros. apply HQ. apply H0R. apply H1.  Qed.

(** Hint: If you have an iff hypothesis in the context, you can use
    [inversion] to break it into two separate implications.  (Think
    about why this works.) *)


(** Some of Coq's tactics treat [iff] statements specially, thus
    avoiding the need for some low-level manipulation when reasoning
    with them.  In particular, [rewrite] can be used with [iff]
    statements, not just equalities. *)

(* ############################################################ *)
(** * Disjunction (Logical "or") *)

(** ** Implementing Disjunction *)

(** Disjunction ("logical or") can also be defined as an
    inductive proposition. *)

Inductive or (P Q : Prop) : Prop :=
  | or_introl : P -> or P Q
  | or_intror : Q -> or P Q.

Notation "P \/ Q" := (or P Q) : type_scope.

(** Consider the "type" of the constructor [or_introl]: *)

Check or_introl.
(* ===>  forall P Q : Prop, P -> P \/ Q *)

(** It takes 3 inputs, namely the propositions [P], [Q] and
    evidence of [P], and returns, as output, the evidence of [P \/ Q].
    Next, look at the type of [or_intror]: *)

Check or_intror.
(* ===>  forall P Q : Prop, Q -> P \/ Q *)

(** It is like [or_introl] but it requires evidence of [Q]
    instead of evidence of [P]. *)

(** Intuitively, there are two ways of giving evidence for [P \/ Q]:

    - give evidence for [P] (and say that it is [P] you are giving
      evidence for -- this is the function of the [or_introl]
      constructor), or

    - give evidence for [Q], tagged with the [or_intror]
      constructor. *)

(** *** *)
(** Since [P \/ Q] has two constructors, doing [inversion] on a
    hypothesis of type [P \/ Q] yields two subgoals. *)

Theorem or_commut : forall P Q : Prop,
  P \/ Q  -> Q \/ P.
Proof.
  intros P Q H.
  inversion H as [HP | HQ].
    Case "left". apply or_intror. apply HP.
    Case "right". apply or_introl. apply HQ.  Qed.

(** From here on, we'll use the shorthand tactics [left] and [right]
    in place of [apply or_introl] and [apply or_intror]. *)

Theorem or_commut' : forall P Q : Prop,
  P \/ Q  -> Q \/ P.

(** ** Relating [/\] and [\/] with [andb] and [orb] (advanced) *)

(** We've already seen several places where analogous structures
    can be found in Coq's computational ([Type]) and logical ([Prop])
    worlds.  Here is one more: the boolean operators [andb] and [orb]
    are clearly analogs of the logical connectives [/\] and [\/].
    This analogy can be made more precise by the following theorems,
    which show how to translate knowledge about [andb] and [orb]'s
    behaviors on certain inputs into propositional facts about those
    inputs. *)

(* ################################################### *)
(** * Falsehood *)

(** Logical falsehood can be represented in Coq as an inductively
    defined proposition with no constructors. *)

Inductive False : Prop := .

(** Intuition: [False] is a proposition for which there is no way
    to give evidence. *)


(** Since [False] has no constructors, inverting an assumption
    of type [False] always yields zero subgoals, allowing us to
    immediately prove any goal. *)

Theorem False_implies_nonsense :
  False -> 2 + 2 = 5.
Proof.
  intros contra.
  inversion contra.  Qed.

(** How does this work? The [inversion] tactic breaks [contra] into
    each of its possible cases, and yields a subgoal for each case.
    As [contra] is evidence for [False], it has _no_ possible cases,
    hence, there are no possible subgoals and the proof is done. *)

(** *** *)
(** Conversely, the only way to prove [False] is if there is already
    something nonsensical or contradictory in the context: *)

Theorem nonsense_implies_False :
  2 + 2 = 5 -> False.
Proof.
  intros contra.
  inversion contra.  Qed.

(** Actually, since the proof of [False_implies_nonsense]
    doesn't actually have anything to do with the specific nonsensical
    thing being proved; it can easily be generalized to work for an
    arbitrary [P]: *)

Theorem ex_falso_quodlibet : forall (P:Prop),
  False -> P.
Proof.
  (* WORKED IN CLASS *)
  intros P contra.
  inversion contra.  Qed.

(** The Latin _ex falso quodlibet_ means, literally, "from
    falsehood follows whatever you please."  This theorem is also
    known as the _principle of explosion_. *)


(* #################################################### *)
(** ** Truth *)

(** Since we have defined falsehood in Coq, one might wonder whether
    it is possible to define truth in the same way.  We can. *)

(** **** Exercise: 2 stars, advanced (True) *)
(** Define [True] as another inductively defined proposition.  (The
    intution is that [True] should be a proposition for which it is
    trivial to give evidence.) *)

Inductive True : Prop := tt.

(** However, unlike [False], which we'll use extensively, [True] is
    used fairly rarely. By itself, it is trivial (and therefore
    uninteresting) to prove as a goal, and it carries no useful
    information as a hypothesis. But it can be useful when defining
    complex [Prop]s using conditionals, or as a parameter to
    higher-order [Prop]s. *)

(* #################################################### *)
(** * Negation *)

(** The logical complement of a proposition [P] is written [not
    P] or, for shorthand, [~P]: *)

Definition not (P:Prop) := P -> False.

(** The intuition is that, if [P] is not true, then anything at
    all (even [False]) follows from assuming [P]. *)

Notation "~ x" := (not x) : type_scope.

Check not.
(* ===> Prop -> Prop *)

(** It takes a little practice to get used to working with
    negation in Coq.  Even though you can see perfectly well why
    something is true, it can be a little hard at first to get things
    into the right configuration so that Coq can see it!  Here are
    proofs of a few familiar facts about negation to get you warmed
