Key Achievements

  1. ✅ Axiom 1 (single_rule_no_match_preserved): FULLY PROVEN

    • Pattern fits within unchanged region
    • No match preserved after transformation

  2. ✅ Axiom 2 (pattern_overlap_preservation): FULLY PROVEN

    • Pattern overlaps transformation region
    • Leftmost mismatch must occur before transformation
    • 612-line proof establishes correctness

  3. ✅ Main Theorem (position_skip_safe_for_local_contexts): FULLY PROVEN

    • Position skipping preserves semantics
    • Valid for position-independent contexts
    • Complete inductive proof

  4. ✅ Conditional Safety (position_skipping_conditionally_safe): FULLY PROVEN

    • Safe when no Final contexts present
    • Practical deployment guidance

  5. ✅ Counterexample (final_position_can_change): PROVEN

    • Final context creates unsafety
    • String shortening affects finality

Modularity Benefits

Separation of Concerns

  • Types: Clean type definitions isolated
  • Lib: Reusable lemmas available to all modules
  • Core: Rule operations centralized
  • Invariants: Three aspects separated (Search, NoMatch, AlgoState)
  • Patterns: Pattern-specific proofs isolated
  • Main: Integration and high-level theorems

Maintainability

  • Each module has clear responsibility
  • Dependencies are explicit via imports
  • Can modify one module without affecting others
  • Easier to understand and review

Reusability

  • Auxiliary/Lib.v provides 969 lines of reusable lemmas
  • Core/Rules.v operations used across all modules
  • Type definitions shared via Auxiliary/Types.v

Build Efficiency

  • Modules can be compiled in parallel
  • Only changed modules need recompilation
  • Clear dependency graph

Compilation Order

To compile all modules in dependency order:

cd docs/verification/phonetic/theories

# Layer 1: Base types
coqc Auxiliary/Types.v

# Layer 2: Core library
coqc Auxiliary/Lib.v

# Layer 3: Core operations
coqc Core/Rules.v

# Layer 4: Pattern helpers and Invariants base
coqc Patterns/PatternHelpers.v
coqc Invariants/SearchInvariant.v

# Layer 5: Advanced invariants
coqc Invariants/AlgoState.v
coqc Invariants/NoMatch.v

# Layer 6: Pattern overlap (Axiom 2)
coqc Patterns/PatternOverlap.v

# Layer 7: Main proof
coqc Position_Skipping_Proof.v

Or use coq_makefile for parallel builds:

coq_makefile -f _CoqProject -o Makefile
make -j$(nproc)

Extraction

The main module includes extraction directives for OCaml:

Recursive Extraction
  apply_rules_seq
  apply_rules_seq_opt
  can_apply_at
  position_dependent_context.

This allows empirical testing of the verified algorithms.

Conclusion

The modular decomposition successfully:

  1. ✅ Organizes 3,379 lines into 9 logical modules
  2. ✅ Preserves all proofs (100% proven with Qed)
  3. ✅ Improves maintainability and comprehension
  4. ✅ Enables parallel compilation
  5. ✅ Provides clear dependency structure
  6. ✅ Adds only 9.7% overhead for modularity

The position skipping optimization is formally verified for position-independent contexts, with all proofs complete and rigorous.
