Futhermore, the new axioms for classical real numbers include the limited
principle of omniscience (`sig_forall_dec`), which is a logical principle
- instead of an ad hoc property of the real numbers. In a future pull request
- we propose to deduce the other axiom, `completeness`, from the logical
- principle `sig_not_dec` (see `Reals.Rlogic`), which is the excluded middle
- of negations in sort `Type`.
+ instead of an ad hoc property of the real numbers.
- If we want the axioms to be completely logical, we could also replace the
- quotient axioms by functional extensionality, which gives the correct
- equality to the equivalences classes represented as `bool`-valued functions
- (also using Hedberg to get the unicity of proofs that those functions
- are indeed equivalence classes). However that last part is not
- completely backward compatible : it assumes funext, which is more
- powerful than ad hoc quotient axioms.
-
- Future work includes the development of constructive analysis, by
- moving the constructive lemmas in new modules (see `Reals.RIneq_constr`),
- and by interfacing tighter with libraries C-CoRN and math-classes.
- Since the constructive definitions are weaker, this will require
- to adapt the definitions in some places. We also need to work on
- efficient extractions of constructive real numbers, so that we can
- compute them in practice.
