{-| Module : Assertica.StdLib.Absorption Description : Absorption theorem proofs for lattices Copyright : (c) 2026 Ahmad Ali Parr License : BSL-1.0 This module proves the ABSORPTION LAWS for lattices: 1. First absorption: a ⊔ (a ⊓ b) ≈ a 2. Dual absorption: a ⊓ (a ⊔ b) ≈ a These are fundamental properties that distinguish lattices from more general algebraic structures. The absorption laws ensure that once an element is present in the join, the meet cannot diminish it, and vice versa. PROOF STRATEGY: All proofs are explicit proof terms using the primitive rules: - Refl: reflexivity - Trans: transitivity - Symm: symmetry - Cong: congruence No external solvers or hidden axioms. Every step is verifiable by Agent 2B's proof-term checker. CRITICAL INVARIANT: The proofs must type-check under Assertica.Core.ProofTerm.proofChecks -} {-# LANGUAGE MultiParamTypeClasses #-} {-# LANGUAGE DeriveEq #-} {-# LANGUAGE DeriveShow #-} module Assertica.StdLib.Absorption ( -- * Absorption proofs absorptionProof , dualAbsorptionProof -- * Non-directionality , absorptionEquivalence ) where import Assertica.Core.AST ( Term(..), Type(..), Var, Proof(..), Proposition(..) , Binder(..), QName(..), Constant(..) ) import Assertica.Core.ProofTerm (ProofTerm(..), proofChecks) import Assertica.StdLib.Lattice ( Lattice , join, meet , preserveJoin, preserveMeet , joinCommutativity, meetCommutativity , joinIdempotence, meetIdempotence ) import qualified Data.Set as Set -- ============================================================================ -- ABSORPTION THEOREMS -- ============================================================================ -- | FIRST ABSORPTION LAW -- -- THEOREM: a ⊔ (a ⊓ b) ≈ a -- -- This states that joining an element with its meet with anything is idempotent. -- -- PROOF SKETCH: -- 1. a ⊔ (a ⊓ b) -- 2.
