  builds native/cubical/, and runs cubical-test (62/62 verification)
  rather than only running lake build (which would have failed at
  link time without libtopolei_cubical.a).

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
