Hello!

I am trying to understand https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/hvg/Isabelle/dist/library/Sequents/Sequents/Sequents.html and https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/hvg/Isabelle/dist/library/Sequents/Sequents/ILL.html and I have problems with the understanding the meaning of the basic items, namely:

types o, seq'

nonterminals seq, seqobj, seqcont?

Do these types and nonterminals have some "real world" counterparts? Sequent is represented by function [o, seq']=>seq', so, maybe o and seq' do not have any real world counterparts?

I am reading "Isabelle's Logics" (especially chapter 4), LNCS 828, Isabelle/Isar reference manual (especially 8.2 and 8.5 about mixfix notations and syntax definition), but I can not grasp the meaning of those symbols and therefor I can not move forward. Any guidance would be very helpful!

I am trying to implement monoidal logic http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1570868314000573 as a object logic in Isabelle/HOL, but everything is so detached from the "real world" (how the mathematics is being done on paper).

Sequents, which are lists of formulas, are represented using a trick due to G Huet. The point is to obtain associative unification for free from higher-order unification. I’m afraid I don’t recall many other details: this is 25-year-old work. There are some details in section 3.7 of the Logics manual.

However, not all types need to have "real world interpretations”.
