I would like to announce the Prooftoys visual proof assistant, a work in
progress, and invite experimental use of it, available at
http://prooftoys.org/.

The Prooftoys logic is very close to Peter Andrews' Q0, including
essentially the same axioms and the same single fundamental rule of
inference, Rule R, which allows replacement of a term by an equal term. The
implementation builds up numerous derived rules of inference, which are
available in the same way as theorems and the primitive rule of inference
through the web-based user interface.

Prooftoys and its user interface normally run entirely within the user's
web browser for interactivity and immediate access. It includes an
interactive proof editor, with ability to save and restore proofs to
textual format. It supports inference in the style of natural deduction,
using hypotheses.

The system aims to make higher-order logic more accessible conceptually and
easier to use as a tool, bringing more people to understand and use it.

The implementation is very much a work in progress in all dimensions, but
has been working well for experimental interactive use. It has a set of
axioms for real numbers and some rather primitive derived rules of
inference so it is possible to experiment with real numbers.

More information is available on the Prooftoys <http://prooftoys.org/> web
site.

Best regards,
Cris Perdue
