A type for VM-erased data

This file defines a type Erased α which is classically isomorphic to α, but erased in the VM. That is, at runtime every value of Erased α is represented as 0, just like types and proofs.

def Erased (α : Sort u) : Sort (max 1 u)

Erased α is the same as α, except that the elements of Erased α are erased in the VM in the same way as types and proofs. This can be used to track data without storing it literally.

@[inline]

def Erased.mk {α : Sort u_1} (a : α) : Erased α

Erase a value.

noncomputable def Erased.out {α : Sort u_1} : Erased α → α

Extracts the erased value, noncomputably.

@[reducible, inline]

abbrev Erased.OutType (a : Erased (Sort u)) : Sort u

Extracts the erased value, if it is a type.

Note: (mk a).OutType is not definitionally equal to a.

theorem Erased.out_proof {p : Prop} (a : Erased p) : p

Extracts the erased value, if it is a proof.

theorem Erased.out_mk {α : Sort u_1} (a : α) : (mk a).out = a

@[simp]

theorem Erased.mk_out {α : Sort u_1} (a : Erased α) : mk a.out = a

theorem Erased.out_inj {α : Sort u_1} (a b : Erased α) (h : a.out = b.out) : a = b

theorem Erased.out_inj_iff {α : Sort u_1} {a b : Erased α} : a = b ↔ a.out = b.out

noncomputable def Erased.equiv (α : Sort u_1) : Erased α ≃ α

Equivalence between Erased α and α.

instance Erased.instRepr (α : Type u) : Repr (Erased α)

instance Erased.instToString (α : Type u) : ToString (Erased α)

def Erased.choice {α : Sort u_1} (h : Nonempty α) : Erased α

Computably produce an erased value from a proof of nonemptiness.

@[simp]

theorem Erased.nonempty_iff {α : Sort u_1} : Nonempty (Erased α) ↔ Nonempty α

instance Erased.instInhabitedOfNonempty {α : Sort u_1} [h : Nonempty α] : Inhabited (Erased α)

def Erased.bind {α : Sort u_1} {β : Sort u_2} (a : Erased α) (f : α → Erased β) : Erased β

(>>=) operation on Erased.

This is a separate definition because α and β can live in different universes (the universe is fixed in Monad).

@[simp]

theorem Erased.bind_eq_out {α : Sort u_1} {β : Sort u_2} (a : Erased α) (f : α → Erased β) : a.bind f = f a.out

def Erased.join {α : Sort u_1} (a : Erased (Erased α)) : Erased α

Collapses two levels of erasure.

@[simp]

theorem Erased.join_eq_out {α : Sort u_1} (a : Erased (Erased α)) : a.join = a.out

def Erased.map {α : Sort u_1} {β : Sort u_2} (f : α → β) (a : Erased α) : Erased β

(<$>) operation on Erased.

This is a separate definition because α and β can live in different universes (the universe is fixed in Functor).

@[simp]

theorem Erased.map_out {α : Sort u_1} {β : Sort u_2} {f : α → β} (a : Erased α) : (map f a).out = f a.out
