The big-step semantics is a straight-forward inductive definition
with concrete syntax. Note that the first parameter is a tuple,

This induction schema is almost perfect for our purposes, but
our trick for reusing the tuple syntax means that the induction
schema has two parameters instead of the ‹c›, ‹s›,
and ‹s'› that we are likely to encounter. Splitting
the tuple parameter fixes this:

subsection "Rule inversion"

text‹What can we deduce from \<^prop>‹(SKIP,s) ⇒ t› ?
That \<^prop>‹s = t›. This is how we can automatically prove it:›

inductive_cases SkipE[elim!]: "(SKIP,s) ⇒ t"
thm SkipE

text‹This is an \emph{elimination rule}. The [elim] attribute tells auto,
blast and friends (but not simp!) to use it automatically; [elim!] means that
it is applied eagerly.

Similarly for the other commands:›

inductive_cases AssignE[elim!]: "(x ::= a,s) ⇒ t"
thm AssignE
inductive_cases SeqE[elim!]: "(c1;;c2,s1) ⇒ s3"
thm SeqE
inductive_cases IfE[elim!]: "(IF b THEN c1 ELSE c2,s) ⇒ t"
thm IfE

inductive_cases WhileE[elim]: "(WHILE b DO c,s) ⇒ t"
thm WhileE
text‹Only [elim]: [elim!] would not terminate.›

text‹An automatic example:›

lemma "(IF b THEN SKIP ELSE SKIP, s) ⇒ t ⟹ t = s"
