Thanks, Rob! I found an interesting looking ProofPower paper of yours www.lemma-one.com/papers/51.pdf and I'll try to read it.
Your SameSideEquivalenceRelation_THM fix worked perfectly, and I'm puzzled, as I thought that was the first thing I tried. Anyway, it works now, so thanks! (You hadn't cited your theorem about symmetry, and you don't need to unwind any definitions.) That's what I thought, except I didn't know the word `unwind'. Thanks for explaining the the local definitions with "let". Your code doesn't work for me yet, but maybe that's a problem with my definition of the function line, which is a bad variable name, so I changed it: let Line_DEF = new_definition `!A B. Line(A, B) = if (A = B) then {} else (@l. A IN l /\ B IN l)`;; let InteriorAngle_DEF = new_definition `!A O B. int_angle(A, O, B) = if Collinear(A, O, B) then {} else let a = Line(O, A) in let b = Line(O, B) in {P | ~(P IN a) /\ ~(P IN b) /\ P,B same_side a /\ P,A same_side b}`;; I have your InteriorAngle_DEF, which looks great, and thanks for writing it. Does my Line_DEF look OK? I have a thm which gets no error message until the last line thus G IN int_angle(A, O, B) by H1, Distinct, I3, notGina, notGinb, Gsim_aB, Gsim_bA, InteriorAngle_DEF ; and Freek's miz3 error message is #2 inference time-out, which means that miz3 couldn't prove this assertion G IN int_angle(A, O, B). Well, I could believe I messed up something that complicated, and I'll try some things. BTW how did you ever get so good at HOL Light? -- Best, Bill ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
