Layer 0 substrate (Truncation, Decidable, Omega, Category, Reify)
+ CType.El / CTerm.code constructors (universe-coding); ABI v5

## Layer 0 substrate (5 new modules per docs/THEORY.md §0)

CubicalTransport/Truncation.lean (367 lines)
  TruncLevel inductive (-2 = contractible, -1 = prop, 0 = set, …).
  IsNType : substantive Σ/Π/Path tower encoding contractibility,
    propositionality, set-ness, and recursive n-truncatedness.
  Trunc HIT schemas at -2 / -1 / higher levels.
  truncation_step + truncation_hits_props proven by rfl.
  truncation_idempotent (sorry, waits on Modality.lean).
  IsNType_isProp_witness (sorry, waits on funext via J-rule).
  Helpers piSelf/sigmaSelf via ULevel.max_self ▸ rewrite to keep
  IsNType returning at level ℓ cleanly (CCHM Π/Σ at max ℓ ℓ ≠ ℓ
  reductionally without max_self).

CubicalTransport/Decidable.lean (184 lines)
  CDecidable encoded as a real disjoint-union schema (decSchema)
  with two type parameters [A, A→⊥] and constructors inl/inr.
  emptySchema (zero ctors) provides CType.botC at any level.
  CDecidableEq T := Π a b, CDecidable (Path T a b).
  Hedberg theorem statement (sorry, waits on J-rule combinator).

CubicalTransport/Omega.lean (rewritten to use real El-decoder)
  Ω (ℓ) := Σ (P : .univ ℓ), .lift (IsNType .negOne (.El P))
  Eight logical operators (true/false/and/or/implies/not/forall_/
  exists_) as REAL CTerms — no free-variable placeholders, every
  .var "$x" reference is to a binder in the same expression.
  OmegaIsProp (sorry, waits on Soundness.transp_ua for prop-univalence).

CubicalTransport/Reify.lean (115 lines)
  CType-as-CTerm injection helper.  universeSchema with codeOf P
  carrying embedded CType through schema parameter list.  Now
  largely redundant after CTerm.code lands (kept for callers that
  want the singleton-per-CType form rather than the universe-typed
  form).

CubicalTransport/Category.lean (614 lines)
  CCategory ℓ structure: Obj : CType ℓ, Hom : CTerm → CTerm → CType ℓ,
  id, comp, three Path-encoded laws (id_left, id_right, assoc).
  CFunctor / CNatTrans / CAdjoint / CLimit / CColimit with
  substantive structures + naturality + universal property fields.
  CFunctor.id, CFunctor.comp, CNatTrans.id, CNatTrans.vcomp helpers
  with concrete law-discharge bodies.
  CType_as_Category (ℓ) — concrete instance of CType ℓ as a
  CCategory at level ℓ.succ.  Five no-collapse theorems proving
  Hom/id/comp strictly depend on each argument via constructor
  injectivity.
  CCategory_internal (sorry, waits on Subobject + Modality + pullback).

## CType.El / CTerm.code constructors + full cascade

Engine (Lean):
  CType.El {ℓ} (P : CTerm) : CType ℓ — decoder
  CTerm.code {ℓ} (A : CType ℓ) : CTerm — encoder
  CType.El_code_eq : El (code A) = A — propositional (axiom; β-rule
    for the universe code/decode pair, standard CCHM treatment)
  SkeletalCType.El + CType.skeleton .El arm + skeleton_El simp lemma.
  Cascade through Subst, DimLine, DecEq, Value, Eval, Readback,
  Typing, Question, FFITest.  CTerm.code → CVal.vcode evaluation;
  CVal.vcode → CTerm.code readback; HasType.code typing rule.
  IsElLine classifiers for CompQ and TranspQ with computable
  Decidable instances.

Engine (Rust ABI v5):
  CUBICAL_TRANSPORT_ABI_VERSION 4 → 5
  TY_EL = 8, TERM_CODE = 16, VAL_VCODE = 11
  Allocators mk_ty_el / mk_term_code / mk_val_vcode in value.rs / subst.rs
  Marshalling cascade in eval.rs / readback.rs / dim_absent.rs / subst.rs
  Cargo.toml 0.2.0 → 0.3.0
  cubical_transport.h v5 changelog + layout tables for new constructors

## Discipline

  · 5 sorries total, every one annotated -- waits on: <specific dep>
  · Zero noncomputable / Classical.propDecidable
  · Zero CType.univ stubs / IsModal-style identity definitions
  · Zero free-variable placeholders ($Foo_witness)
  · Zero parallel CTypeU type
  · No shortcuts taken — the agent reported the El/code β-rule must
    be axiomatic (since El and code are independent constructors of
    mutually-defined inductives, Lean's kernel cannot reduce them
    without explicit reduction rules); this matches CCHM's standard
    treatment.

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
