Drop Infoductor dependency; cubical-transport is now pure cubical engine
The cubical-flavored methodology bindings move out of cubical-
transport-hott-lean4 into a new private bridge repo
`infoductor-cubical` (separate next commit on that repo).

Files removed (moved to infoductor-cubical):
- CubicalTransport/Algebra/EngineMethodologies.lean
- CubicalTransport/Algebra/Test.lean
- (CubicalTransport/Algebra/ directory now empty, removed.)

Files modified:
- CubicalTransport.lean: drop the 8 Infoductor + Algebra imports.
- CubicalTransport/FFITest.lean: drop `import Infoductor.Foundation
  .Restructure` + `open Infoductor` + the 4 Infoductor.Foundation
  smoke tests (they belong in the bridge repo, not in the engine).
- lakefile.toml: drop the `[[require]] infoductor` block.

Architecture rationale:
- Public Infoductor: Foundation + Comonad — generic Lean 4 repo-
  organization primitives, Mathlib-only-when-needed.
- Public cubical-transport-hott-lean4: pure cubical engine, no
  Infoductor dep, no methodology bindings.
- Private infoductor-cubical (next): bridges Infoductor.Foundation
  + cubical-transport into a "Cubical" methodology surface for
  Infoductor.

Test count: 47 → 43 smoke (the 4 Algebra smokes leave with the
moved files).  46/46 properties.  Total 89/89 passing.  46 build
jobs (was 53 with Infoductor pulled in).

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
