Refactor Phase 3a: Modal.lean rewrite — forModalityKind unification
Removes the transient alias block (CType.flat/.sharp/.shape +
6 CTerm modal abbrev) and rewrites the substantive content using
the unified .modal/.modalIntro/.modalElim constructors directly.

Three modal CFunctor witnesses → one ModalityKind-parameterised
function:
  forModalityKind (ℓ : ULevel) (k : ModalityKind) :
      CFunctor (CType_as_Category ℓ) (CType_as_Category ℓ)
The body is uniform in k (no internal `match k with` branches);
obj/arr fields use `.modalIntro k` / `.modalElim k` directly;
preserves_id/preserves_comp parameterised in k.

Six rfl-lemmas + 2 dependence theorems → 2 each, parameterised.

Crisp predicate constructors generalised from flat-only to all
kinds (semantic widening — documented in source as a deliberate
generalisation from spatial-TT's flat-only canonical Crisp;
sound because every modal eliminator extracts from a modalised
subuniverse):
  · flatElimBody → modalElimBody (k) (f m)
  · flatIntroOfCrisp → modalIntroOfCrisp (k) {a} (h)
  · appPropagation unchanged
  · Crisp.var_not_immediate restated to ∃ k existential

Three adjoint-triple theorems restated using `forModalityKind ℓ
.flat/.sharp/.shape`.  All three sorries preserved with rephrased
waits-on annotations.

Three β-soundness theorems → one:
  modal_beta_sound (env) (k) (f a) := eval_modalElim_beta env k f a

Net: -68 lines.  Build clean (48 + 43 jobs).  Runtime 95/95.
3 sorries unchanged (the three adjoint-triple theorems).

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/libcubical_transport.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
