The liquid tensor experiment blueprint

This repository hosts the Liquid tensor experiment blueprint and website. The Lean code for this project can be found there.

Dependencies

If you simply want to produce the pdf version of the blueprint, you don't need anything beyond your usual TeX installation.

In order to build the html version you need plasTeX and its blueprint plugin. You first need to make sure you have a decent python (at least 3.6). Then you can install:

pip install git+https://github.com/plastex/plastex.git
pip install git+https://github.com/PatrickMassot/leanblueprint.git
pip install invoke

Also installing pdf2svg, pdfcrop, and xelatex may be useful:

apt install pdf2svg
apt install texlive-extra-utils
apt install texlive-xetex

Initial setup

The blueprint needs to know where a compiled version of the Lean source code lives. In the root directory of the blueprint repo, create a symlink project pointing to the root of the lean-liquid repository:

ln -s ../lean-liquid project   # modify as needed

Building

The source for the blueprint is in src. If you only want to build it as a pdf file then you can simply run xelatex blueprint.tex or lualatex blueprint.tex (or even pdflatex blueprint.tex if you are stuck in the past).

More complicated goals are easier to handle using python invoke. You can run inv -l to see the available actions. In particular inv web will build the website and inv serve will serve it locally on port 8000.

Note that the dependency graph using graph-viz won't work if you simply open web/dep_graph.html in a browser because of browser paranoia. It has to be accessed through a web server.

Authoring

The main TeX file to edit is content.tex. It is a normal TeX file except that each definition and statement must have a \label and there are four special LaTeX macros:

• \lean{name} indicates the fully namespaced Lean declaration that formalizes the current definition or statement.
• \leanok means the current definition, statement or proof has been fully formalized (in particular a lemma can have \leanok in its statement without having it in its proof environment.
• \uses{refs} where refs is a comma-separated list of LaTeX label can be put inside a definition, statement or proof environment. It means each of those labels is used by the current environment. This is what creates edges in the dependency graph. This mechanism is completely independent from \ref. With leanok this is the most important command to organize work. Note that \uses in proofs don't need to repeat those in the statement.
• \proves{label} can be put in a proof environment to indicate which statement is proved if this is not obvious (ie it is not proving the preceding statement).
