name: rweq-proofs description: Helps construct RwEq (rewrite equivalence) proofs using transitivity, congruence, and canonical lemmas from the LND_EQ-TRS system. Use when proving path equalities, working with quotients, or establishing rewrite equivalences in the ComputationalPaths library.

RwEq Proof Construction

Construct proofs of rewrite equivalence (RwEq).

Rewrite Hierarchy

CopyStep p q  -- single rewrite step
    ↓
Rw p q    -- multi-step (reflexive-transitive)
    ↓
RwEq p q  -- equivalence (symmetric-transitive)

Core Lemmas

Equivalence

Copyrweq_refl : RwEq p p
rweq_symm : RwEq p q → RwEq q p
rweq_trans : RwEq p q → RwEq q r → RwEq p r

Unit Laws

Copyrweq_cmpA_refl_left : RwEq (trans refl p) p
rweq_cmpA_refl_right : RwEq (trans p refl) p

Inverse Laws

Copyrweq_cmpA_inv_left : RwEq (trans (symm p) p) refl
rweq_cmpA_inv_right : RwEq (trans p (symm p)) refl

Associativity

Copyrweq_tt : RwEq (trans (trans p q) r) (trans p (trans q r))

Congruence

Copyrweq_trans_congr_left : RwEq q₁ q₂ → RwEq (trans p q₁) (trans p q₂)
rweq_trans_congr_right : RwEq p₁ p₂ → RwEq (trans p₁ q) (trans p₂ q)
rweq_symm_congr : RwEq p q → RwEq (symm p) (symm q)

Proof Strategies

Calc Block (Preferred)

Copytheorem my_proof : RwEq p q := by
  calc p
    _ ≈ p' := rweq_cmpA_refl_left
    _ ≈ q := rweq_symm rweq_tt

Transitivity Chain

Copytheorem my_proof : RwEq p q := by
  apply rweq_trans h₁
  exact h₂

Congruence for Subterms

Copy-- Goal: RwEq (trans p₁ q) (trans p₂ q)
exact rweq_trans_congr_right h  -- where h : RwEq p₁ p₂
