The algebra part of this has been merged; what remains is the base_logic wrapper.
## Open issues
* On the logic layer, should `mono_list_auth` take `Qp` or `dfrac`? Eventually we want to move everything to `dfrac` but again the concern is that (without good notation), this will make the library more annoying to use. This is discussed in more generality at https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/iris/-/issues/412.
* Do a solid review of the API surface.https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/iris/-/issues/420Use siProp more in building the uPred (and BI) interfaces2023-03-04T18:40:53ZRalf Jungjung@mpi-sws.orgUse siProp more in building the uPred (and BI) interfacesuPred defines a few (primitive) connectives that could all be defined in terms of an `siProp` mbedding:

- internal equality
- pure embedding
- plainly modality
- CMRA validity
Then we can have CMRA validity in any logic with an `siProp` embedding. Going this route might also finally let us get rid of `base_logic.algebra` and instead prove these lemmas in `siProp` so they can be used "for free" in any BI with an `siProp` embedding. We might even want to use `siProp` to define some of our algebraic classes.
@haidang started working on this since some of this is useful for BedRock. Here's the full plan we came up with to stage that (not saying @haidang is doing all these stages, and the later ones are obviously subject to change):
1. Add uPred_si_embed and uPred_si_emp_valid to upred.v; remove uPred_pure, uPred_internal_eq, uPred_plainly. Re-define those in terms of that and re-derive all the old rules in bi.v. The interesting part will be figuring out the laws for the new connectives such that we can derive all the laws for the old things that got removed.
2. (depends on 1) Add proof mode support for embed and emp_valid.
3. (depends on 1) Define uPred_cmra_valid in terms of uPred_si_embed via some new siProp for CMRA validity.
4. (depends on 1) Add iris/base_logic/lib/monpred_si_embed.v and transitive embedding.
5. (depends on 3, 2) State base_logic.algebra lemmas in siProp so they work for all logics that have an siProp embedding.
6. (depends on 3; having 5 would be useful) Add BiOwn to abstract over RA ownership.
7. (depends on 1) State uPred_entails as an siProp.
8. (probably best after 5 or together with 5) Change CMRA axioms so that validity is defined as an siProp.
9. (depends on ?, speculative) Use siProp in BI interface? For what exactly? Get rid of pure so we can define it in general for all BIs with an siProp embedding? Use siProp entailments?
10. (depends on ?, probably best after 8, highly speculative) Change OFE axioms to use `siProp` for dinstance? Still need to derive `Prop`-based version for setoid rewriting though.Robbert KrebbersRobbert Krebbershttps://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/iris/-/issues/412Use dfrac everywhere2023-03-18T18:30:39ZRalf Jungjung@mpi-sws.orgUse dfrac everywhere`auth` and `view` support dfrac now, but many of the abstractions built on top of it do not yet:

* [ ] `base_logic.lib.mono_nat`
There are more `auth`-based abstractions in `algebra.lib` but those do not expose *any* fraction on their authoritative part yet.
Some more are not actually built on top of `view`, but these are or could be exposing fractions that it might be useful to turn into `dfrac`:
* [ ] `base_logic.lib.ghost_var`
* [ ] Cancelable invariants
* [ ] Saved propositions (could be made essentially "`ghost_var` with higher-order ghost state", supporting both persistent immutable and ephemeral mutable saved propositions)
However, before we do all this, we should figure out if there is a way to do that without making these APIs *harder* to use for the common case of only needing fraction `1`. For `gset_bij`, we are already in the situation that users need to write `DfracOwn 1` a lot; I wouldn't want the same to happen e.g. for `ghost_map`.https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/iris/-/issues/407Tracking issue for list RA2021-03-17T11:50:01ZRalf Jungjung@mpi-sws.orgTracking issue for list RAThis is the tracking issue for the list RA that went to staging in https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/iris/-/merge_requests/654.

## Open issues
* The laws of the list camera are kind of weird, because it's very awkward to deal with "holes" in the list, which typically occurs when separating ghost state.
* Is the list RA ever actually needed, or can we replace it by `gmap` + `map_seq`? That deals better with "holes", but [lacks some closure properties](https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/iris/-/merge_requests/371#note_62685) that can sometimes be useful.https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/iris/-/issues/406Slow typechecking / nonterminating Qed when using auxiliary definitions in RAs2021-03-18T08:26:06ZArmaël GuéneauSlow typechecking / nonterminating Qed when using auxiliary definitions in RAs```coq

The snippet above:
- works fine with Iris 3.3
- takes a very long time at Qed with Iris 3.4 (modulo replacing `cmraT` with `cmra` in the script)
The issue seems to be with the use of auxiliary definitions to define the resource algebra `cfgUR`. Manually inlining `cfgUR` and the other auxiliary definitions in the definition of `cfgSG` makes it work again with Iris 3.4.
Since the fix is relatively simple, this issue doesn't seem to be too big of a deal, but I thought that I'd report it just in case.

@haidang wrote [a version of this](https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/gpfsl/-/blob/graphs/theories/examples/list_cmra.v), which was forked at some point by @jtassaro [for Perennial](https://github.com/jtassarotti/iris-inv-hierarchy/blob/fupd-split-level/iris/algebra/mlist.v) while also adding a logic-level wrapper for `auth (mlist T)` with the following three core assertions:
* authoritative ownership of the full trace
* persistent ownership that some list is a prefix of the trace
* persistent ownership that index i in the trace has some particular value
Perennial also has [another version of this](https://github.com/mit-pdos/perennial/blob/master/src/algebra/append_list.v) by @tchajed that is based on (the Perennial version of) `gmap_view`. And finally, @msammler has [his own implementation](https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/FCS/lang-sandbox-coq/-/blob/master/theories/lang/heap.v#L18) that is based on the list RA.
I do not have a strong preference for which approach to use for the version in Iris, but we should probably look at all of them to figure out what kinds of lemmas people need for this.Hai DangHai Danghttps://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/iris/-/issues/371Add validI lemmas for discrete RAs2020-11-05T08:41:29ZRalf Jungjung@mpi-sws.orgAdd validI lemmas for discrete RAsOur discrete RAs lack "validI" lemmas that reflect their validity into an equivalent logical statement.

## old [discarded](https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/iris/-/issues/354#note_57686) idea: `option Qp`
After https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/iris/-/merge_requests/531, the public interface of `dfrac` can basically be described via a smart constructor that takes `option Qp` -- in fact I am adding such a notation in https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/iris/-/merge_requests/486. We can probably rephrase all the existing lemmas in terms of that single constructor, and @robbertkrebbers agrees that that would make a better interface.

Before https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/iris/-/merge_requests/498, it took around 15s, and then `Qed` took another 15s.
Since !498, they just don't terminate any more. I can make the proof itself go through by adding a `simpl in *` in `solve_inG` (before [this `intros`](https://github.com/jtassarotti/iris-inv-hierarchy/blob/0ecbb628ff5c49826873f800a2127e5bfcfb48ae/theories/base_logic/lib/own.v#L45)), but then `Qed` still takes forever. To make `Qed` work I added some awful hack that seemingly successfully guides Coq towards using the right reduction strategy for `Qed`.
I am not sure what we can do here, besides entirely sealing functors and thus making them non-computational (so we'd have to prove unfolding lemmas about them all, and somehow use them in `solve_inG`).https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/iris/-/issues/341Coecisting fractional and persistent read-only ownership2020-08-25T09:34:48ZRalf Jungjung@mpi-sws.orgCoecisting fractional and persistent read-only ownershipAs part of https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/iris/-/merge_requests/486, @tchajed and @simonfv raised the point that sometimes it would be useful to convert ownership of *some fraction* of a map element to persistent read-only ownership.

Right now, our encoding through `frac * agree T + agree T` (or equivalently `(frac + ()) * agree T`) requires ownership of the full fraction for that move.
I think such a construction is possible, but it requires https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/iris/-/issues/257. Then we could relate an authoritative map to a fragment that's more like `option (frac * agree T) * option (agree T)`, and ensure that the second `option` is `None` unless the sum of all fraction fragments is less than 1.https://gitlab.mpi-sws.org/iris/iris/-/issues/339Add "reservation map" CMRA2020-09-09T12:29:51ZRalf Jungjung@mpi-sws.orgAdd "reservation map" CMRAFor the Rust GhostCell paper, we designed and @pythonsq implemented a "reservation map" RA that is useful when one needs to synchronously reserve two equal names in two different abstractions.

1. The reservation map lets you reserve an infinite amount of names in a first frame-preserving update.
2. Next you can use that infinite set to reserve a particular name in some other abstraction, with the usual "strong allocation" lemma that picks the new name from any infinite set.
3. Finally you can take that one name you got, and since it is in the infinite set you reserved, you may now own that name in the reservation map after a second frame-preserving update.

However, most of our `_op` lemmas push the named operation "out":
```coq
Lemma pair_op (a a' : A) (b b' : B) : (a ⋅ a', b ⋅ b') = (a, b) ⋅ (a', b').

Moreover, even with one "group" of lemmas, not all are consistent: `singleton_op`, `discrete_fun_singleton_op`, `list_singleton_op` push "in", while `cmra_morphism_(p)core` push "out" (and there might be more).
At the very least, we should make all lemmas within a "group" consistent. So, the minimal fix for this is to swap the 5 lemmas named in the last paragraph. However, we might also want to fix the larger inconsistency that the `_op` lemmas are going the other way, compared to the rest of them.

Whether this is inherent to the abstraction or if its the current iteration of the encoding is to be figured out.
Going forward we should do either of the following:
- Include a disclaimer discouraging people from using them
- Remove the encoding from the repository
- Update the implementation to be more user-friendly
I suggest doing either of the first two short-term and then possibly look into the third long-term.
