section \<open>Synthesis of the predecessor function\<close>

text "
  In this example we construct, with the help of Isabelle, a predecessor function for the natural numbers.

  This is also done in \<open>CTT.thy\<close>; there the work is easier as the equality type is extensional, and also the methods are set up a little more nicely.

by simple

text "
  Now we look for an inhabitant of this type.
  Observe that we're looking for a lambda term \<open>pred\<close> satisfying \<open>(pred`0) =\<^sub>\<nat> 0\<close> and \<open>\<Prod>n:\<nat>. (pred`(succ n)) =\<^sub>\<nat> n\<close>.
  What if we require **definitional** equality instead of just propositional equality?

  The above proof finds a candidate, namely \<open>\<^bold>\<lambda>n. ind\<^sub>\<nat> (\<lambda>a b. a) 0 n\<close>.
