\section{Introduction}
\label{introduction}

How do we formalize a proof in Category Theory? What is the correct
level of detail? Which entities should we introduce first?

Well, this depends on our target audience; if we are speaking to a
Category Theorist then we may start by saying just, for example, let
$f$ be a morphism'', and it will be understood that we have two
objects, $\Dom f$ and $\Cod f$, belonging to the same category --- at
this point unnamed --- and that $f$ goes from $\Dom f$ to $\Cod f$; if
later we say $f: A \to B$ or $A \ton{f} B$ then we will be giving
better (and shorter) names for $\Dom f$ and $\Cod f$, but the category
where $A$ and $B$ live may remain unnamed for a while more...

% rather than to a human

If we are talking to a proof assistant --- Coq, say --- instead of to
a human then we are forced to declare our entities in a certain order,
and to name all of them. For example:
%
{% \myttchars
% \footnotesize
\begin{verbatim}
Variable CatC : Categories.
let (C_0, Hom_C, id_C, o_C, idL_C, idR_C, assoc_C) := CatC in
Variable A B : C_0, f : Hom_C A B.
...
end.
\end{verbatim}
}

In this note we will show how to formalize some constructions and
proofs in a proof assistant in a way that:

\msk

1) lets us choose just a very few names,

2) lets us use names that are very close to a certain graphical
notation,

3) lets us split our constructions and proofs in two layers, or parts:
a syntactical'' part, that must necessarily come first, and a
logical'' part,

4) lets us build easily dictionaries between several standard
notations.

\msk

We will say that a construction (or proof) that has both its
syntactical part and its logical part is happening in the real
world''; by dropping its logical part and keeping just its syntactical
part we obtain a corresponding construction in the syntactical
world''. We will call this passage from the real world to the
syntactical world a projection'' --- as projections discard some
information (intuitively coordinates, or components) and forget some
distinctions. The opposite operation is a lifting'': we may start
with a syntactical construction or proof, and then try to lift that to
the real world. The projection'' direction is easy, and we can
always be done (section \ref{abcats}; explain abelian categories, and
which always'' is that); the lifting'' direction is hard, and I
don't even know how to characterize when a given lifting can be done;
see the list of problems in section \ref{future}.

The plan of this paper is as follows. In section \ref{cats-in-coq} we
define category'', protocategory'', isomorphism'',
proto-isomorphism'', etc, in the right way (for our purposes!). In
section \ref{dnc-in-coq} we explain a trick to make Coq accept our
notation; in section \ref{yoneda} we present an example: a syntactical
proof of the Yoneda Lemma. In section \ref{nd-for-cats}. we present a
system of Natural Deduction for (proto-)categories, and in section
\ref{nd-for-dt} we sketch how it can be extended to a system of
Natural Deduction for dependent types. Section \ref{future} discusses
open problems and directions for future work.

\section{Downcasing Functors}
\label{downcasing-functors}

\begin{quote}
{\sl Fix an object $A$ of $\Set$. Let $(A×)$ be the functor that takes
each object $B$ to $A×B$.}
\end{quote}

Why do we say {\sl the}'' functor in the sentence above? A functor,
$F$, is composed of an action on objects, $F_0$, and an action on
morphisms, $F_1$ --- plus some assertions'', that we will discuss
soon (section \ref{downcasing-assertions}) ---; the description above
says only that $F_0$ is $B \mto A×B$, i.e., $ðB¨\Sets.A×B$. In a first
moment we only know that $F_1$ is obvious''. How do we deduce it?

Let's draw a diagram. For a morphism $f:B \to C$ in $\Set$ we have
%
%D diagram dncf1
%D 2Dx     100       +30     +25       +30    +25     +30

%D    @ 2 @ 3 |-> .plabel= b (A×)_0

%D    @ 0 @ 3 harrownodes nil 20 nil |->
%D ))
%D enddiagram
%D
$$\diag{dncf1}$$

The square at the right is the downcased version of the middle square.
The morphism $f$, a function, takes each point of $B$, $b$, to a point
of $C$, $c := f(b)$.

The notation $b \mto c$ --- instead of $b \mto f(b)$ --- is an
extrapolation of the the convention used by physicists. Given a
trajectory, $q(t) = (x(t), y(t), z(t))$, and two instants, $t_0$ and
$t_1$, physicists define by default that $x_0 = x(t_0)$, $q_0 = (x_0, y_0, z_0)$, and so on, and sometimes $x=x(t)$, $y=y(t)$, $z=z(t)$,
$q=(x,y,z)$. Instead of defining lots of rules for default meanings we
will do domething else.

Our input to Coq will be filtered through a simple preprocessor that
allows long names'' --- downcasings, plus much more (maybe {\sl too
much} more). Let's see an example:

% (find-es "tex" "verbatimbox")
% (find-dn4ex "edrx08.sty" "ttchars")
% (find-gregsymbolspage 1)
% (find-texbookpage 1)
% (find-texbookpage (+ 11 469) "\\langle")
% (find-texbookpage (+ 11 146) "\\langle")

\bsk

{\myttchars
\begin{verbbox}
a := proj1 «a,b»
b := proj2 «a,b»
c := «b|->c» b
«a,c» := (a, c)
...
\end{verbbox}
%
$\begin{array}{ccc} \theverbbox[c] & \squigto & \mathtt{foo.v} \\ \dnto \\ \mathtt{foo.dnc} \\ \text{in ascii} \\ \end{array}$
}

\bsk

The preprocessor first builds a listing of all the long names (the
$\angg{\ldots}$ things) that appear in a set of \texttt{.dnc} files,
then associates a Coq-friendly identifier of the form \texttt{dnc}{\sl
nnn} to each of them, then translates all the \texttt{.dnc} files to
\texttt{.v} files.

A modification of that idea allows one to use Coq interactively from
Emacs with a similar kind of long name translation; but this is not
relevant here (see dnc-0.el for details).

For typesetting \texttt{.dnc} files, like in the lower rectangle
above, we use a different kind of translation. We borrow the idea of
abbreviations'' from Dednat4. In the default abbrev table for
Dednat4, \texttt{|->}'' becomes \verb|\tnto |'', and
\verb|\tnto |'' is \verb|\def|'d in the default \LaTeX\ preamble for
Dednat4 as

\begin{center}
\verb.\def\tnto{\overset{\bullet}{\to}}.
\end{center}

The expansion process considers the longest matching abbrev at any
point. So, as \verb.|-.'' expands to \verb|\vdash |'',
\verb.P,Q,R|-S.'' expands to \verb.P,Q,R\vdash S.'', which
typesets as $P,Q,R\vdash S$; \verb.b|->c.'' typesets as $b \mto c$.

% (find-lawverecmpage (+ 15  13) "internal diagram of a set")

A remark: downcasings correspond, {\sl very} loosely, to the
internal view'' of a function (see LawCM, p.14). For example,

%D diagram internal-view
%D 2Dx      100      +50
%D 2D  100 \N -----> \R
%D 2D
%D 2D  +15
%D 2D  +8   0 |----> 0{}
%D 2D  +8   1 |----> 1{}
%D 2D  +8   2 |----> \sqrt{2}
%D 2D  +10  \vdots   \vdots{}
%D 2D  +10  49 |---> 7
%D 2D  +12  n |---> \sqrt{n}
%D 2D
%D (( \N \R -> .plabel= a Ð{sqrt}
%D    0 0{} |->
%D    1 1{} |->
%D    2 \sqrt{2} |->
%D    \vdots place   \vdots{} place
%D    49 7 |->
%D    n \sqrt{n} |->
%D ))
%D enddiagram
%D
$$\diag{internal-view}$$

We are free to use long names as we please. Coherence is desirable but
not mandatory, and we may leave to define what is coherent naming
afterwards --- or never. This, for me, is a charming way to state that
$ýn¨\N.\sqrt{4n}=2\sqrt{n}$:

%D diagram sqrt-4
%D 2Dx      100     +30    +30      +30    +30       +30

%D 2D  +09 100 |--> 10   {}\N ----> \R{}  4n |---> \sqrt{4n}
%D 2D
%D (( 25 5 100 10
%D    @ 0 @ 1 |-> @ 0 @ 2 |-> @ 1 @ 3 |-> @ 2 @ 3 |->
%D ))
%D (( \N \R {}\N \R{}
%D    @ 0 @ 1 -> .plabel= a \sqrt{\;}
%D    @ 0 @ 2 -> .plabel= l 4·
%D    @ 1 @ 3 -> .plabel= r 2·
%D    @ 2 @ 3 -> .plabel= a \sqrt{\;}
%D ))
%D (( n \sqrt{n} 4n 2\sqrt{n} \sqrt{4n}
%D    @ 0 @ 1 |-> @ 0 @ 2 |-> @ 1 @ 3 |-> @ 2 @ 4 |->
%D ))
%D enddiagram
%D
$$\diag{sqrt-4}$$

In some contexts 25 is so big that $25 \mto 5$ can only be'' the
square root; similarly, $25 \to 100$ can only be'' multiplication by
4, and so on, and the commutativity of the square can be expressed as:

{\myttchars
\footnotesize
\begin{verbatim}
sqrt :=
«25|->100» : N -> N = *4
«100|->10» : N -> R = sqrt
...
«\wd[25|->10]» : ...
\end{verbatim}
}

We will say that $\angg{25 \mto 5 \mto 10}$ and $\angg{25 \mto 100 \mto 10}$ are two natural constructions'' for $\angg{25 \mto 10}$,
and we will use the last notation above, $\angg{welld{25 \mto 10}}$
--- that we pronounce as $25 \mto 10$ is well defined'' --- to mean
all the most obvious natural constructions for $25 \mto 10$ yield
the same result''; these most obvious natural constructions'' will
usually be just two, only very rarely three, four, or more; in any
case, the Coq code will expand each $\angg{\welld[\ldots]}$ into an
explicit equality. Note that a $\angg{\welld[\aa]}$ is (usually) much
weaker than a coherence theorem (see \citation{Kromer}, p.\_\_) that
states that {\sl all} possible natural constructions for terms with
the same type as $\aa$ give the same result.

The squiggly arrow going downwards is evidently a projection --- it
just drops the rules and the term:'' part of each term:Type''
declaration --- the upper dotted arrow is the Curry-Howard
isomorphism, and the lower dotted arrow is a downcasing (to the left)
and an uppercasing (to the right).

Amazingly, the term:Type'' tree at the upper right can be
reconstructed from the downcased tree at the lower left.

Each bar of the downcased tree can be read as: if we know the values
of the terms above the bar then we have a natural construction for the
term below the bar''. This induces a dictionary --- of a new kind, not
of abbrevs as in section \_\_ --- that defines all entries not in the
leaves'' of the tree as terms:

{\myttchars
\footnotesize
\begin{verbatim}
«b» := proj2 «a,b» etc
\end{verbatim}
}

If we preceed this with declarations for the left names as variables
--- and if we handle the discharges correctly, and if we use
uppercasings to determine the types --- then the root of the tree
becomes a term, whose free variables are the names of the undischarged
leaves.

We will use the symbol $\equiv$' to mean change of notation''. Now,
if we just give the right standard names --- coming from the
term:Type'' tree in the upper left, in diagram \_\_, --- to the
[undischarged?] variables, we can reconstruct the term:Type'' tree,
{\sl exactly}, from the downcased tree.

Let's review what we have done. Natural deduction trees can be read as
terms:
%
$$\ded{4-dnc} \quad \squigto \angg{b} := \angg{b} ...$$
%
and if we add dictionary entries for the standard names for the
variables in a downcased tree,
%
$$\angg{a,b} \equiv p ...$$
%
then the downcased tree can be considered as a shorthand
representation for the full, standard term:Type'' tree.

We left a question pending in section \_\_ --- why the action of a
functor $(A×)$ on morphisms, $(A×)_1$, is obvious'', and how do we
obtain it?

In the diagram

%D diagram bleu
%D 2Dx     100    +30
%D 2D  100 b ===> a,b
%D 2D      -       -
%D 2D      |       |
%D 2D      v       v
%D 2D  +30 c ===> a,c
%D 2D
%D (( b a,b  c a,c
%D    @ 0 @ 1 => @ 0 @ 2 |-> @ 1 @ 3 |-> @ 2 @ 3 =>
%D    @ 0 @ 3 harrownodes nil 20 nil |->
%D ))
%D enddiagram
%D
$$\diag{bleu}$$

the problem was to obtain the middle arrow, $(b \mto c) \mto (a,b \mto a,c)$. In (logical'') Natural Deduction it is common to abbreviate a
series of steps with a double bar; we will do something similar with
our function'' derivations, and use the trees with double bars as
abbreviations for the expanded trees. So, take the obvious $(b \mto c) \mto (a,b \mto a,c)$'' means find an expansion for {\tiny
$\cded{4=dnc}$}'':
%
% (find-kopkadaly4text "\\scriptsize, which is smaller than")
%:
%:    b|->c
%:  =========
%:  a,b|->a,c
%:
%:   ^4=dnc
%:
$$\ded{4=dnc} \quad\squigto\quad \ded{4-dnc}$$
%
and so:
%
$$\begin{array}{rcl} (A×)_1 &\equiv& ðB¨\Sets.ðC¨\Sets. \\ && ð\angg{b \mto c}:B×C. \\ && ð\angg{a,b}: A×B.\ang{\angg{a,b},\angg{b \mto c}('\angg{a,b})} \\ \end{array}$$

Now that we have the downcased notation and the wd' construct we
can/may express the other components of the functor $(A×)$ quite
easily. One of them, $\respids_{(A×)}$, asserts that the functor
$(A×)$ respects identities''. In our shorthand notation, this is
%
$$ýB¨\Sets.\welld[a,b \mto a,b]$$
%
that we can expand as

$$ýB¨\Sets.(\id(A×)_0B = (A×)_1(\id B).$$

The other component, $\respcomp_{(A×)}$, asserts that $(A×)$
respects compositions''. This is
%
$$ýB,C,D¨\Sets.ý(b \mto c),(c \mto d). \welld[a,b \mto a,d]$$

where $\welld[a,b \mto a,d]$ is:

%:
$$\ded{expa3} \quad = \quad \ded{expa4}$$

Note that we didn't need to say $(b \mto c):B \to C$, $(c \mto d):C \to D$; the translation to Coq will need this, of course, but in the
shorthand notation the typings can be reconstructed by uppercasing.

the same time a category'' and a protocategory'', a functor''

of the components of the uples will also be discussed soon.

\section{Logic in DNC}
\label{logic}

If $P$ is a proposition, $\Proofs[P]$ is the set of all proofs of $P$,
and $\Wits[P]$ is the space of witnesses'' of $P$, that is a
singleton when $P$ is true and an empty set when $P$ is false;
intuitively, $\Wits[P]$ is $\Proofs[P]$ with all elements identified.

A witness for $P$, that we write as $\wit[P]$, is an element of
$\Wits[P]$. All the inference rules of logic can be regarded as
operations that produce witnesses from other witnesses. For example,
the inferences
%:
%:
%:  a=b  a'=b'    2=3  4-4=0
%:  ----------    -----------
%:   a·a'=b·b'    2·(4-4)=3·0
%:
%:   ^mul1        ^mul2
%:
$$\ded{mul1} \qquad \ded{mul2}$$
%
correspond to functions $\Wits[a=b]×\Wits[a=b'] \to \Wits[a·a'=b·b']$
and $\Wits[2=3]×\Wits[4-4=0] \to \Wits[2·(4-4)=3·0]$.

Rules with discharges are a bit harder; we will approach them in two
ways. The derivation at left below can be regarded as a function from
$\Wits[P∧Q]×\Wits[Q⊃R]$ to $\Wits[P∧Q]$:
%:
%:            P∧Q
%:            ---
%:   P∧Q        Q     Q⊃R
%:   ---        ---------
%:     P           R         P∧Q  Q⊃R
%:     -------------         ::::::::
%:         P∧R                 P⊃R
%:
%:         ^disch1             ^disch2
%:
$$\ded{disch1} \qquad \ded{disch2}$$

The $⊃$-introduction curries that function and produces a function
from $\Wits[Q⊃R]$ to $(\Wits[P∧Q] \to \Wits[P∧R]) = \Wits[P∧Q⊃P∧R]$.
%:
%:
%:           [P∧Q]^1

\section{Conventions on names}
\label{conventions}

I tend to use some conventions for names in DNC. For example, in an
adjunction $L \dashv R$ the functor $L$ is usually drawn going
leftwards, and $R$ is drawn going to the right:
%
%D diagram conventions-1
%D 2Dx      100     +30    +30     +30
%D 2D  100 LA <---| A     a^L <=== a
%D 2D       |       |      -       |
%D 2D       |  <->  |      |  <->  |
%D 2D       v       v      v       v
%D 2D  +30  B |---> RB     b ====> b^R
%D 2D
%D (( LA A B RB
%D    @ 0 @ 1 <-| @ 0 @ 2 -> @ 1 @ 3 -> @ 2 @ 3 |->
%D    @ 0 @ 3 harrownodes nil 20 nil <->
%D ))
%D (( a^L a b b^R
%D    @ 0 @ 1 <= @ 0 @ 2 |-> @ 1 @ 3 |-> @ 2 @ 3 =>
%D    @ 0 @ 3 harrownodes nil 20 nil <->
%D ))
%D enddiagram
%D
$$\diag{conventions-1}$$

The two categories are named $\catA$ and $\catB$.

The natural iso
%
$$\begin{array}{rcl} (A^\op,B) & \mto & (\Hom_\catB(LA,B) \bij \Hom_\catA(A,RB) \\ (a^\op;b) & \tnto & ((a^L \mto b) \bij (a \mto b^R)) \\ \end{array}$$
%

has two directions: one, $(a^L \mto b) \mto (a \mto b^R)$, shifts to
the right the position where the functor hits the object, and I call
that one $\sharp$'; the other one, $(a^L \mto b) \mot (a \mto b^R)$,
shifts to the left the position where the functor hits the object, and
I call it $\flat$'. So:
%
%D diagram conventions-2
%D 2Dx      100     +30    +30     +30
%D 2D  100 LA <---| A     a^L <=== a

%D 2D
%D (( LA A B RB
%D    @ 0 @ 1 <-| @ 0 @ 2 -> @ 1 @ 3 -> @ 2 @ 3 |->
%D    @ 0 @ 3 harrownodes nil 20 nil <-  sl^ .plabel= a \flat
%D    @ 0 @ 3 harrownodes nil 20 nil  -> sl_ .plabel= b \sharp
%D ))
%D (( a^L a b b^R
%D    @ 0 @ 1 <= @ 0 @ 2 |-> @ 1 @ 3 |-> @ 2 @ 3 =>
%D    @ 0 @ 3 harrownodes nil 20 nil <-| sl^ .plabel= a \flat
%D    @ 0 @ 3 harrownodes nil 20 nil |-> sl_ .plabel= b \sharp
%D ))
%D enddiagram
%D
$$\diag{conventions-2}$$

Each book on Category Theory uses its own notation and naming
conventions. The best way I found to show how to translate between DNC
and some other more standard notation is to do the translation in two
steps. For example,

%D ))
%D enddiagram
%D
$$\diag{transla-1}$$

In the first step we keep the symbols --- $\ang{\_,\_,\_}$,
$\rightharpoonup$, $\eta$, $\phi$, $¢$' vs.\ ;' --- but we change
the names of the objects, functors, categories, and we obtain an
uppercase diagram with our favourite choices of letters, fonts, and
placing of the names; in the second step we downcase that.

The notation $\ang{F,G,\phi}: X\rightharpoonup A$ above is from CWM
(sec.\ IV.1). Slightly later the book introduces another notation for
adjunctions, $\ang{F,G,\eta,}: X\rightharpoonup A$; we downcase that
to $\ang{a\funto a^L, b\funto b^R, a \tnto (a \mto a^{LR}), b \tnto (b^{RL} \mto b)}$, or simply $\ang{L, R, a \tnto (a \mto a^{LR}), b \tnto (b^{RL} \mto b)}$.

\section{The Yoneda Lemma in DNC}
\label{yoneda}

Let's define a {\sl preuniversal} as a tuple $(\catA, \catB, R: \catB \to A, A \in \catA_0, B \in \catB_0, f:A \to RB)$.

A {\sl universal} will be the same plus an extra component, that
asserts the universality'' of $f$; but we are only going to need
that later (sec.\ \_).

We will represent a preuniversal in DNC like this:

\big)
}
\def\pdownnt#1#2#3#4#5{\big(
#1 \tnto (\pdown{#2}{#3} \mto \pdown{#4}{#5})
\big)
}

$$\ppreuniv{a}{b}{b^R}$$

There is a natural construction for a bijection between preuniversals
and natural transformations $T: \Hom_\catB(B,-) \to \Hom_\catA(A,-)$:
%
$$\ppreuniv{a}{b}{b^R} \;\bij\; \pdownnt{c}{b}{c}{a}{c^R}$$

The direction $\mto$' of the bijection is obvious from the diagram:

(...)

For the other direction, we do:

%:
%:    B        B   c-.>((b|->c)|->(a|->c^R))
%:  -----\id   -----------------------------Ð{app}
%:  b|->b      (b|->b)|->(a|->b^R)
%:  ------------------------------Ð{app}
%:        a|->b^R
%:
%:        ^otherdir
%:
$$\ded{otherdir}$$

The Yoneda Lemma:
%
$$\begin{array}{ccc} b^R &\diagxyto/<.>/<175>& \pdowneltnt{c}{b}{c}{\;c^R\;} \\ \\ \vbij & & \vbij \\ \\ \ppreuniv{*}{b}{b^R} &\diagxyto/<->/<175>& \pdownnt{c}{b}{c}{*}{c^R} \\ \end{array}$$

The corollary:
%
$$\begin{array}{ccc} \pdown{a}{b} &\diagxyto/<.>/<175>& \pdownnt{c}{b}{c}{a}{c} \\ \\ \vbij & & \vbij \\ \\ \ppreuniv{*}{b}{a \mto b} &\diagxyto/<->/<175>& \pdownnt{c}{b}{c}{*}{a \mto c} \\ \end{array}$$

% $$\ppreuniv{*}{b}{a \mto b} \;\bij\; \pdownnt{c}{b}{c}{*}{a \mto c}$$

\bsk

(old stuff):

A functor $F: \catA \to \catB$ takes each object $A \in \catA_0$ to an
object $FA \in \catB_0$; we can write its action on objects as $A \mto FA$. Its action on morphisms takes each morphism $f: A \to A'$ to a
morphism $Ff: FA \to A'$...

We downcase that to $a \funto a^F$.

An adjunction $L \dashv R$ between two functors, $L: \catA \to \catB$
and $R: \catB \to \catA$, gives, for any two objects $A:\catA_0$ and
$B:\catB_0$, a bijection between the hom-sets $\Hom_\catB(LA,B)$ and
$\Hom_\catA(A,RB)$; we will downcase this as
