 CONTENTS
 
+  Our artifact is a Coq formalization of the model of our Iris logic,
+  together with a proof of adequacy (establishing that the model is
+  faithful wrt the operational semantics), and a proof of soundness of
+  the primitive rules of the logic wrt the model.
+
+
   The folder is organized as follows:
+
   * core_lang.v contains the axioms about the language
-  * lang.v defines the threadpool reduction and derives some lemmas from core_lang.v
+
+  * lang.v defines the threadpool reduction and derives some lemmas
+    from core_lang.v
+  
   * masks.v introduces some lemmas about masks
-  * world_prop.v uses the aforementioned Coq library to construct the domain for Iris propositions
-  * iris.v is the main file and contains the actual logic and the proof of the rules for view shifts and Hoare triples
