Rust Structural Search and Replace
----- original post -----
There are type equivalences that can be automatically inferred via algebraic bijections on finite sets we learn in middle school - product (a,b), sum (a|b), and exponential (a->b) - more precise data structures (combinatorial species), and known constraints of allowed functions.
I started research on this in the domain of protein folding equivalences, coming up with https://oeis.org/A186202 - hilarious aside that Laci Babai rejected my journal submission then went and used the sub-optimal n! search as the main subroutine in his latest graph isomorphism paper. 😅
I then started exploring black-box properties of sets of small finite functions, not just permutations: Endoscope. Since the 1970s McKay in the domain of graphs has used black box properties to speed up equivalence checking.
I am a complete noob at Coq - I'm also not sure if Coq is the best language - I like interfaces like SMT-LIB that you can shell out to or wrap in Coq/Python. Artist time is more valuable than computer time
I'm also a fan of Souper and Enzyme - for systems scale proofs LLVM IR is a useful domain language. There are also new tools like CodeQL for AST linting to extract just the parts of code we want to run proofs/transforms on.
Happy to help adding more functionality for combinatorial bijections, generating benchmarks, performance improvement with a systems language or hardware acceleration, and writing linters over C/C++/Rust/LLVM IR/ELF/Mach-O or /proc/ (Where Linux stores information about a running program - halting problem and all that, sometimes you have to run the code) that use this library.
