A theorem-proving language for experimentation

Lawrence J. Henschen, Ross Overbeck, L. Wos · Communications of the ACM · 1974

Because of the large number of strategies and inference rules presently under consideration in automated theorem proving, there is a need for developing a language especially oriented toward automated theorem proving. This paper discusses some of the features and instructions of this language. The use of this language permits easy extension of automated theorem-proving programs to include new strategies and/or new inference rules. Such extendability will permit general experimentation with the various alternative systems.
