REL1: typing rules + transp/comp derived theorems for .ind + Rust subst
Typing.lean: minimal-viable typing rules for the three new CTerm
constructors (REL1 first cut; REL2 will refine to dependent
formulations).
  - HasType.ctor      : .ctor S c params args : .ind S params
                        (no per-arg premises; runtime enforces)
  - HasType.indElim   : non-dependent form — motive : .pi (.ind …) C,
                        result : C; branch coherence checked at eval
  - HasType.dimExpr   : placeholder typing at .univ (real interval-
                        typing requires a CType.interval primitive,
                        deferred to REL2)
HasType.weaken_core extended with the three new arms.

TransportLaws.lean: derived theorems for transport over .ind (T1,
T2, stuck), all reducing to existing axioms (eval_transp_top,
eval_transp_const, eval_transp_nonpath + vTransp_stuck).  Pointwise
distribution through ctor args is REL1.1 future work.

CompLaws.lean: derived theorems for composition over .ind (C1, C2,
const-line, stuck) — corollaries of the existing eval_comp_*
axioms.  Same REL1.1 deferral for pointwise distribution.

native/cubical/src/subst.rs: critical Rust fix.  The previous
fallback `_ => mk_term_var(ctor_field(t, 0))` corrupted the new
TERM_DIMEXPR / TERM_CTOR / TERM_INDELIM tags by extracting field 0
(a CTypeSchema for ctor) and wrapping it as a malformed .var,
causing infinite recursion / OOM in subst-driven paths
(eval_comp_top calls substDim).  Proper arms for all three new
tags + cterm_subst_dim_list and cterm_subst_dim_branches helpers.
Unknown-tag fallback now safely returns the input unchanged
instead of synthesising a malformed .var.

FFITest.lean: three new smoke arms exercising T1/T2 transport and
C1 composition over .ind natC.  Result: 28/28 smoke + 46/46
properties = 74/74.

cubical-transport-hott-lean4

A Lean 4 implementation of cubical-transport homotopy type theory (CCHM-flavor), with a fast Rust kernel exposed through C ABI.

The Lean side defines the syntax, semantics, and soundness theorems. The Rust side discharges the per-step β-rules of the evaluator. Lean axioms are routed through @[implemented_by] to Rust functions that return Lean objects in the same shape Lean would have produced; the soundness layer (CubicalTransport/Soundness.lean) certifies the backend at the boundary, so the kernel speed of the Rust code preserves the Lean-level proofs.

What's here

  • CubicalTransport/ — 22 Lean modules for syntax, substitution, dimensional structure, faces, typing, evaluation (eval / value / readback), transport, Glue, composition, and the soundness theorems.
  • native/cubical/ — Rust kernel (#![no_std], dual-target native staticlib + cdylib, wasm32 cdylib).
  • CubicalTest.lean, CubicalBench.lean — engine smoke + property tests (62/62 passing) and microbenchmarks.

Consuming the engine (with permission)

This Software is proprietary. See LICENSE — no use is granted by virtue of the repository being public. The instructions below are for the copyright holder and any party with prior written consent from mgorog@gmail.com.

Add as a Lake dependency from another Lean 4 project:

[[require]]
name = "cubicalTransport"
path = "../cubical-transport-hott-lean4"   # or git = "..."

Then import CubicalTransport.Syntax, import CubicalTransport.Eval, etc. Link against native/cubical/target/release/libtopolei_cubical.a in your own moreLinkArgs so the FFI symbols resolve.

Build

(cd native/cubical && cargo build --release)
lake build
./.lake/build/bin/cubical-test    # 62/62 tests pass
