Polarized propositional intuitionistic focusing

The unfocused reference calculus uses finite-set contexts and is generated by

For an ordered queue, erasure into the finite-set context is generated by

The exact polarized grammar of chapter 39 is P,Q::=p+∣↓N0PQ1+PQ,N,M::=p∣↑PPN1N&M. Persistent contexts contain negative formulas and suspended positives; inversion contexts are ordered positive queues: Γ::=Γ,NΓ,P,Ω::=P,Ω,U::=PNN. The three judgments are right focus Γ[P], inversion Γ;ΩU, and left focus Γ;[N]U. A left-focus succedent is stable: it is either P or N.

Right focus is generated by

Γ;N
Γ[N]
F-DownR
Γ[P]
Γ[PQ]
F-OrR1
Γ[Q]
Γ[PQ]
F-OrR2
Γ[1+]
F-OnePosR
Γ[P]Γ[Q]
Γ[PQ]
F-TensorR
PΓ
Γ[P]
F-IdPos

There is no right-focus rule for 0.

Positive inversion is generated by

Γ;N,ΩU
F-DownL

Negative right inversion is generated by

The phase rules and left-focus rules are

No rule left-focuses 1. Final sequents suspend only atoms; compound suspensions occur only inside focal substitution and identity expansion. The focal-substitution metarules are admissible, rather than constructors of the focused derivability judgments:

Γ[P]Γ,P;LU
Γ;LU
SubstPos
Γ;LNΓ;[N]U
Γ;LU
SubstNeg
