Title:Using Abstraction

Abstract:This paper uses the theory of abstraction presented in [GW89a] to consider how an abstract proof can be "mapped back" onto a proof of the unabstracted theorem. This analysis naturally suggests the architecture of a generic abstract theorem prover. We have implemented this theorem prover, and begun to investigate its properties; our results agree favourably with a computational model we have developed for analysing the benefits of abstraction.
