Reflection of Formal Tactics in a Deductive Reflection Framework

It is well-known that adding reflective reasoning can tremendously increase the power of a proof assistant. In order for this theoretical increase of power to become accessible to users in practice, the proof assistant needs to provide a great deal of ...

This paper introduces a novel mechanism to perform intercession (a form of reflection) in an object-oriented programming language with the goal of making the language extensible from within itself. The proposed mechanism builds upon a mirror-based ...

We recall general metalogical axioms for a reflective logic based on the notion of a universal theory, that is, a theory that can simulate the deductions of all other theories in a class of theories of interest, including itself. We then show that ...
