This is meant to be a series of articles about implementing an automated theorem prover. The theorem prover is realized by implementing a Prolog-like language in Rust using Warren’s Abstract Machine. The M_n branches are for different versions of the virtual machine of increasing complexity in n. The docs branch is where I write the articles linked below. I merge docs back into master on a periodic basis.
- Introduction
- Supporting infrastructure: parsing and flattening terms
- Machine $M_0$
- Machine
$M_1$ - Machine
$M_2$
If you would like to work along with me, I encourage you to use whichever programming language you are most familiar with. I chose to use Rust because I knew I would learn a lot about the Rust language this way.
Issues and pull requests are welcome, whether to report or fix errors or to suggest general improvements. There is always a better way to teach or do something!
Sincerely,
Robert Jacobson
