Ken, You should know about the Edinburgh Logical Framework (ELF), best implemented in the Twelf system. While ELF is a particular framework, there is tons of work about specification and programming in dependently typed frameworks. See e.g. many papers by Frank Pfenning, Amy Felty, Bob Harper,

Indeed. There is no need to distinguish axioms and axiom schemata (as Thomas said, oracles are not the latter). This is because of the INST and INST_TYPE rules of inference. In a system with schemata, instantiation (or matching) is the way you check whether or not you have an oracle, and you

Hi, just too clarify. Axioms and oracles are different things in HOL 4. In the context of HOL 4, an "oracle" usually refers to external proof tool which is trusted by HOL. Its results are "imported" using HOL's "oracle mechanism" (mk_oracle_thm and related). Oracles are __not__ axiom schemata.

Dear Members of the Research Community, Finalizing my overview at http://www.owlofminerva.net/files/fom.pdf I would like to ask for major logics and logical frameworks not considered yet. The logical frameworks included now (as logical frameworks, not only object logics like Isabelle/HOL) are

Thanks, this is what I expected. Concerning the Axiom of Choice (answering Mario's email, too), its use should be expressed as a conditional of the form AC => THM (or as a hypothesis) and not as an axiom in order to make the appeal to it explicit. An example is the theorem in exercise X5308 in

There are 2 reasons for adding new axioms and axiom schemata (oracles): (1) To save the work for proving something provable or constructible (e.g.: one could assume the axioms for the real numbers instead of constructing the reals; although in this case, the library includes a construction of the

Dear Sana, it is easily possible to define own axioms and inference rules. However, it very easily leads to inconsistencies and is usually not advisable expect if you really know what you are doing. In most cases the definitional extension principles provided by HOL suffice and are much safer to

The paper in question is Church (1940), which is available online (possibly paywalled): DOI: 10.2307/2266170 http://www.jstor.org/stable/2266170 On page 61 we see axiom 9 (description) and axiom 11 (choice). Mike Gordon was clearly mistaken when he overlooked that Church's 1940 system already
