title: an imperfect algorithmic presentation of xtt

...
hello everyone. as part of my language [quox] i made a typechecking algorithm
for xtt [@xtt]. plus other stuff. but here's just the xtt part, in case anyone
is interested.
[quox]: https://git.rhiannon.website/rhi/quox
- the syntax is slightly different because it uses bidirectional typing [@bidi].
i've tried to roll back my other arbitrary syntactic changes for this document
to avoid confusion though. other than subtyping instead of explicit lifting,
because that seemed significantly easier. to me at least.
- this algorithm [isn't very efficient](#compute-elim-ty). it is what currently
exists in quox, and when i improve that stuff in future, hopefully i'll
remember to come back and update this post.
- i also **haven't proven anything**, so if it's wrong, then i apologise for my
hubris.
anyway. let's get started.
# syntax
mostly follows @xtt, but with a few annotations added or removed for
bidirectional reasons.
- a "term" is a type or an introduction form. it can be checked against a given
type.
- an "elimination" is a string of elimination forms applied to either a variable
or an annotated term. its type can be synthesised.
- substitutions take variables to _eliminations_, to preserve typeability,
and in this presentation, syntactic well-formedness.
- $x, y$ denote term variables, and $𝑖, 𝑗$ denote dimension variables.

only real levels $𝓀$ can occur in expressions. the special level $\top$ is
for checking a type in a context where any level is accepted, for example the
type in an annotation $s : A$.
in a $𝘁𝘆𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲$, the pattern variables are assigned this way:
- for a function type $(z : A) → B : 𝒰_𝓀$, the $Π$ case is taken with
$x ≔ (A : 𝒰_𝓀)$ and $y ≔ ((λz. B) : 𝒰_𝓀𝒰_𝓀)$.
- same for a pair type $(z : A) × B$ and the $Σ$ case.
- for an equality type $𝗘𝗾_{i. A} \; s \; t : 𝒰_𝓀$:
- $x₀$ and $x₁$ are set to the endpoints of the type line $A$; \
$x₀ ≔ (A[0/𝑖] : 𝒰_𝓀)$ and $x₁ ≔ (A[1/𝑖] : 𝒰_𝓀)$.
- $x$ is an equality between them; \
$x ≔ ((λ𝑖. A) : 𝗘𝗾_{𝑖. 𝒰_𝓀} \; A[0/𝑖] \; A[1/𝑖]$.
- $y₀$ and $y₁$ are the terms being equated; \
$y₀ ≔ (s : A[0/𝑖])$ and $y₁ ≔ (t : A[1/𝑖])$.

# dimension checking {#dim}
the well-formedness rules are the same as in the paper. since quox uses well
scoped de bruijn indices, every value of type `Dim d` is well formed, so they
don't exist at all really.
the equality rules are just baby's first equational theory solver.

maybe you want to make $𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲$ and $𝗳𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲$ inferrable. _in my opinion_, there are
not that many cases where you end up having to write $𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 : 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗹$, and, if you
have separate term/elim syntactic classes like i do, it's not worth muddying the
nice clean separation in e.g. $𝐰𝐡𝐧𝐟$ for this. in my onion. :onion:

assumes $Ψ \Bar Γ ⊢ e ⇒ A$ for some $Ψ$, and just recovers the $A$ without
doing any other checking.

yeah. im trying to remove it

that gets you e.g. the type of $f \; s$, but that isn't enough information to
