Topic: [isabelle] How-to define a object logic

Hi all.

I try to define the system S_1^0 of modal logic (according to "Modal Logics"
by Robert Feys) in order to learn the process of adding a new object logic.

Current version is at:
http://www.myjavaserver.com/~nedzelsky/isabelle/ModalS1_0.html

One of the rules of S_1^0 is EQS (substitution of strict equivalents).
I feel my attempt to formalize it is not very satisfactory. One thing which
bother me is that the axioms are written like the following

ax_sub1: "PROP is_subst(P,Q,P,Q)"

instead of simply

ax_sub1: "is_subst(P,Q,P,Q)"

Any suggestions and comments are highly welcome.

Regards,
Michael Nedzelsky

This is because is_subst yields prop, rather than "o" of the object-logic.
Isabelle requires explicit syntax to indicate this situation -- by default
the system inserts an object-logic judgment. The PROP syntax allows to
input pure propositions, but this markup is absent in output of
applications involving a constant (which is assumed to provide its own
syntax).

The following declaration introduces a prop predicate with proper concrete
syntax:

consts
is_subst :: "[o,o,o,o] => prop" ("(1IS'_SUBST/(1'(_,/ _,/ _,/ _')))")

axioms
ax_sub1: "IS_SUBST(P,Q,P,Q)"
ax_sub2: "IS_SUBST(P,Q,R,R)"
