//! # Prop
//! Propositional logic with types in Rust.
//!
//! A library in Rust for theorem proving with [Intuitionistic Propositional Logic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intuitionistic_logic).
//! Supports theorem proving in [Classical Propositional Logic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propositional_calculus).
//!
//! - Used in research on [Path Semantics](https://github.com/advancedresearch/path_semantics)
//! - Brought to you by the [AdvancedResearch Community](https://advancedresearch.github.io/)
//! - [Join us on Discord!](https://discord.gg/JkrhJJRBR2)
//!
//! Abbreviations:
//!
//! - IPL: Intuitionistic/Constructive Propositional Logic
//! - PL: Classical Propositional Logic
//! - PSC: Path Semantical Intuitionistic/Constructive Propositional Logic
//! - PSL: Path Semantical Classical Propositional Logic
//!
//! ### Motivation
//!
//! [Path Semantics](https://github.com/advancedresearch/path_semantics)
//! extends dependent types with normal paths and is also used to extend
//! Classical Propositional Logic with multiple levels of propositions.
//! It is also used to explore higher dimensional mathematics.
//! A popular research subject in Path Semantics is [Avatar Extensions](https://advancedresearch.github.io/avatar-extensions/summary.html).
//!
//! When researching, in some cases it is useful to figure out whether a proof is
//! provable in classical logic, but not in constructive logic.
//! This requires comparing proofs easily.
//!
//! This library uses a lifting mechanism for making it easier
//! to produce proofs in classical logic and compare them to
//! proofs in constructive logic.
//!
//! ### Design
//!
//! This library contains:
//!
//! - `Prop`: Propositions that might or might not be decidable (constructive logic)
//! - `DProp`: Decidable propositions (classical logic)
//! - `LProp`: Like `Prop`, but with path semantics (path semantical constructive logic)
//! - `DLProp`: Like `DProp`, but with path semantics (path semantical classical logic)
//! - Automatic lifting of Excluded Middle to decidable propositions
//! - Double Negation for proofs of `Prop`
//! - Formalization of the core axiom of Path Semantics
//! - Tactics organized in modules by constructs (e.g. `and` or `imply`)
//!
//! Due to first-order logic requiring dependent types,
//! which is not yet supported in Rust,
//! this library is limited to zeroth-order logic (propositional logic).
//!
//! ### Examples
//!
//! ```rust
//! use prop::*;
//!
//! fn proof<A: Prop, B: Prop>(f: Imply<A, B>, a: A) -> B {
//!     imply::modus_ponens(f, a)
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Notice that there is no `DProp` used here,
//! which means that it is a constructive proof.
//!
//! ```rust
//! use prop::*;
//!
//! fn proof<A: DProp, B: DProp>(f: Imply<Not<A>, Not<B>>) -> Imply<B, A> {
//!    imply::rev_modus_tollens(f)
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Here, `DProp` is needed because `rev_modus_tollens` needs Excluded Middle.
//! This limits the proof to decidable propositions.
//!
//! ### Path Semantics
//!
//! Path Semantics is an extremely expressive language for mathematical programming.
//! It uses a single core axiom, which models semantics of symbols.
//!
//! Basically, mathematical languages contain a hidden symmetry due to use of symbols.
//! Counter-intuitively, symbols are not "inherently" in logic.
//!
//! One way to put it, is that the symbols "themselves" encode laws of mathematics.
//! The hidden symmetry can be exploited to prove semantics and sometimes
//! improve performance of automated theorem provers.
//!
//! For example, Path Semantics can be used to boost performance of brute force theorem proving
//! in Classical Propositional Logic on Type-hierarchy-like problems.
//! For more information, see the blog post [Improving Brute Force Theorem Proving](https://advancedresearch.github.io/blog/2020-08-20-improving-brute-force-theorem-proving).
