Title
Translating specifications from nominal logic to CIC with the theory of contexts
Abstract
We study the relation between Nominal Logic and the Theory of Contexts, two approaches for specifying and reasoning about datatypes with binders. We consider a natural-deduction style proof system for intuitionistic nominal logic, called NINL, inspired by a sequent proof system recently proposed by J. Cheney. We present a translation of terms, formulas and judgments of NINL, into terms and propositions of CIC, via a weak HOAS encoding. It turns out that the (translation of the) axioms and rules of NINL are derivable in CIC extended with the Theory of Contexts (CIC/ToC), and that in the latter we can prove also sequents which are not derivable in NINL. Thus, CIC/ToC can be seen as a strict extension of NINL.
