| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This document describes how to integrate Valence Shell with ECHIDNA, the neurosymbolic theorem proving platform. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Overview |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +[ECHIDNA](https://github.com/hyperpolymath/echidna) (Extensible Cognitive Hybrid Intelligence for Deductive Neural Assistance) is a unified multi-prover system that combines neural proof synthesis with symbolic verification across 12 different theorem provers. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +### Benefits for Valence Shell |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +1. **Automated Multi-Prover Generation**: Generate proofs in new systems (CVC5, HOL Light, Metamath) from existing Coq/Lean proofs |
| 12 | +2. **Neural Completion**: AI-assisted completion of admitted lemmas |
| 13 | +3. **Semantic Understanding**: OpenCyc integration for common-sense reasoning about filesystem operations |
| 14 | +4. **Probabilistic Reasoning**: DeepProbLog for learning proof patterns |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +## Configuration Files |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +### echidna.toml |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +The main configuration file at the repository root: |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +```toml |
| 23 | +[project] |
| 24 | +name = "valence-shell" |

| 78 | +### Tier 3-4 (Future) |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +- PVS, ACL2, HOL4 |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +## Usage |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +### Prerequisites |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +```bash |
| 87 | +# Install ECHIDNA |
| 88 | +git clone https://github.com/hyperpolymath/echidna |
| 89 | +cd echidna |
| 90 | +just build |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +# Or via package manager (when available) |
| 93 | +cargo install echidna |
| 94 | +``` |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +### Verify Existing Proofs |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +```bash |
| 99 | +# Using ECHIDNA CLI |
| 100 | +echidna verify --config echidna.toml |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +# Or using just |
| 103 | +just verify-all |
| 104 | +``` |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +### Generate Proofs for New Systems |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +```bash |
| 109 | +# Generate CVC5 from Z3 |
| 110 | +echidna generate --source z3 --target cvc5 --theorem mkdir_rmdir_reversible |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +# Generate HOL Light from Isabelle |
| 113 | +echidna generate --source isabelle --target hol-light --all |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +# Batch generation |
| 116 | +echidna generate --config echidna.toml --targets cvc5,hol-light,metamath |
| 117 | +``` |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +### Neural Completion |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +```bash |
| 122 | +# Complete admitted lemmas |
| 123 | +echidna complete --theorem mkdir_creates_rmdir_precondition |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +# Suggest helper lemmas |
| 126 | +echidna suggest --file proofs/coq/filesystem_composition.v --line 333 |
| 127 | +``` |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +## OpenCyc Integration |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +The configuration includes OpenCyc ontology for semantic understanding: |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +```cyc |
| 134 | +(isa FileSystemOperation Action) |
| 135 | +(isa mkdir FileSystemOperation) |
| 136 | +(inverseOf mkdir rmdir) |
| 137 | +(preconditionFor mkdir parentDirectoryExists) |
| 138 | +``` |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +This enables ECHIDNA to: |
| 141 | +- Understand that `mkdir` and `rmdir` are inverse operations |
| 142 | +- Know that `mkdir` requires parent directory to exist |
| 143 | +- Suggest related theorems based on semantic similarity |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +## DeepProbLog Integration |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +Probabilistic rules for proof pattern learning: |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +```prolog |
| 150 | +0.95::reverses(mkdir, rmdir). |
| 151 | +0.95::reverses(createFile, deleteFile). |
| 152 | +0.90::reverses(writeFile, writeOldContent). |
| 153 | +``` |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +This enables: |
| 156 | +- Learning proof patterns from successful proofs |
| 157 | +- Predicting likely theorems |
| 158 | +- Suggesting proof strategies |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +## Theorem Categories |
| 161 | + |
| 162 | +| Category | Description | Examples | |
| 163 | +|----------|-------------|----------| |
| 164 | +| `reversibility` | Operations can be undone | `mkdir_rmdir_reversible` | |
| 165 | +| `composition` | Multiple operations compose | `operation_sequence_reversible` | |
| 166 | +| `equivalence` | Filesystem state equality | `fs_equiv_refl`, `fs_equiv_trans` | |
| 167 | +| `content` | File content operations | `write_file_reversible` | |
| 168 | +| `maa` | MAA framework integration | `modification_reversible` | |
| 169 | +| `path` | Path helper lemmas | `parent_path_ne_self` | |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +## Aspect Tags |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +Theorems are tagged with aspects for intelligent categorization: |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +- `filesystem` - Related to filesystem operations |
| 176 | +- `directory` - Directory-specific |
| 177 | +- `file` - File-specific |

| 185 | +## CI/CD Integration |
| 186 | + |
| 187 | +Add to `.gitlab-ci.yml`: |
| 188 | + |
| 189 | +```yaml |
| 190 | +echidna-verify: |
| 191 | + stage: test |
| 192 | + script: |
| 193 | + - echidna verify --config echidna.toml |
| 194 | + rules: |
| 195 | + - changes: |
| 196 | + - proofs/**/* |
| 197 | +``` |
| 198 | +
|
| 199 | +## Known Limitations |
| 200 | +
|
| 201 | +1. **is_empty_dir semantics**: One admitted proof in Coq related to path prefix semantics |
| 202 | +2. **Neural completion**: Requires trained model (not yet available for filesystem proofs) |
| 203 | +3. **Tier 3-4 provers**: Not yet implemented in ECHIDNA |
| 204 | +
|
| 205 | +## Roadmap |
| 206 | +
|
| 207 | +1. **Phase 1** (Current): Configuration and specification files |
| 208 | +2. **Phase 2**: Generate CVC5, HOL Light, Metamath proofs |
| 209 | +3. **Phase 3**: Train neural model on filesystem proof patterns |
| 210 | +4. **Phase 4**: Complete admitted lemmas with neural assistance |
| 211 | +5. **Phase 5**: Extend to PVS, ACL2, HOL4 |

| 220 | +## Contributing |
| 221 | +
|
| 222 | +To add support for a new theorem: |
| 223 | +
|
| 224 | +1. Add theorem to `echidna.toml` under `[theorems]` |
| 225 | +2. Add specification to `echidna/specs/filesystem.json` |
| 226 | +3. Implement in at least one Tier 1 prover |
| 227 | +4. Run `echidna generate` to create proofs for other systems |
| 228 | +5. Submit PR with all generated proofs |
