Re: [mizar] what's new in mizar?



Hi Jesse,

It looks like there's been a new release of mizar (version 7.8.07, MML
4.93.997).  What are the new features?

Curious,

The most important change within the system is strengthening the checker by utilizing two general premises in one disjunct of an inference if they have a common substitution - "the Scordev device" in the Mizar jargon - the thing has been discussed for many years, but only now did Andrzej and Czeslaw agree on a reasonable algorithm and Czeslaw has implemented it, eventually. Please search the Mizar-Forum archives for some discussions on this topic: http://mizar.uwb.edu.pl/cgi-bin/wilma/wilma_glimpse/mizar-forum?query=skordev&Search=Search&errors=0&maxfiles=50&maxlines=10&.cgifields=restricttofiles&.cgifields=case&.cgifields=filelist&.cgifields=lineonly&.cgifields=partial

Practically, with Mizar 7.8.07 you get accepted inferences like the last one in the text below (not obvious for the 7.8.06 checker):

environ
vocabularies TESTER;

begin

definition
let x be set;
pred P x means contradiction;
pred Q x means contradiction;
pred R x means contradiction;
end;

a: for x being set st P x holds Q x @proof end;

b: for x being set st Q x holds R x @proof end;

for x being set st P x holds R x by a,b;
