“The nLab is a collaborative wiki. It grew out of the desire (I, II) to have a place for development (the ’Lab’ in ’nLab’) and indexed archives of the ideas and concepts surrounding the discussions at the The n-Category Café. These discussions primarily are about mathematics, physics and philosophy from the perspective of category theory and higher category theory (the ’n’ in ’nLab’ and nPOV).“

## [An Automated Modal Reasoner](https://briantackett.pythonanywhere.com)

"This program takes lists of formalized sentences and checks them for consistency or validity in Propositional Modal Logic (S5 Axiom System)."
Created by [Brian Tackett](https://briantackett.pythonanywhere.com/about/).

## [Arend Theorem Prover](https://arend-lang.github.io/about/)

‘Arend implements a version of [homotopy type theory](https://homotopytypetheory.org) with an interval type, which syntax is similar to [cubical type theory](https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/cubical+type+theory). This implies several nice properties of path types and allows for a simple and clean definition of higher inductive types (including recursive ones).’

## [Argdown](https://argdown.org)

A variation of markdown that allows one to create argument maps.

## [Carnap](https://carnap.io)

"Carnap is a free and open software framework written in [Haskell](https://www.haskell.org) for teaching and studying formal logic."
[An introductory blog post](http://dailynous.com/2018/11/07/new-free-open-source-multi-purpose-multi-system-logic-software/%20) by the author, [Graham Leach-Krouse](https://philpeople.org/profiles/graham-leach-krouse-1) at [Daily Nous](http://dailynous.com).

## [Conan](https://github.com/nonilole/Conan)- A proof editor for first order logic

## [Coq Proof Assistant](https://coq.inria.fr)

Written in [OCaml](https://ocaml.org), "Coq is a formal proof management system. It provides a formal language to write mathematical definitions, executable algorithms and theorems together with an environment for semi-interactive development of machine-checked proofs. Typical applications include the [certification of properties of programming languages](https://github.com/coq/coq/wiki/List%2520of%2520Coq%2520PL%2520Projects) (e.g. the CompCert compiler certification project, or the Bedrock verified low-level programming library), the formalization of mathematics (e.g. the full formalization of the Feit-Thompson theorem or homotopy type theory) and teaching."

### [GitHub repository](https://github.com/coq/coq)

### Home page of [Wiki](https://github.com/coq/coq/wiki)

## [GAPT: General Architecture for Proof Theory](https://www.logic.at/gapt/)

‘GAPT is a proof theory framework developed primarily at the Vienna University of Technology. GAPT contains data structures, algorithms, parsers and other components common in proof theory and automated deduction. In contrast to automated and interactive theorem provers whose focus is the construction of proofs, GAPT concentrates on the transformation and further processing of proofs.’

## [List of Computational Tools for Modal Logic](http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~schmidt/tools/)

## [Logic Matters](https://www.logicmatters.net)

## [Microsoft's Lean](https://leanprover.github.io/)

"Lean is an open source theorem prover and programming language being developed at [Microsoft Research](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/). Lean aims to bridge the gap between interactive and automated theorem proving, by situating automated tools and methods in a framework that supports user interaction and the construction of fully specified axiomatic proofs."

## [Open Logic Project](http://openlogicproject.org)

## [Proof General](https://proofgeneral.github.io)

"Proof General is a generic interface for proof assistants (also known as interactive theorem provers), based on the extensible, customizable text editor Emacs."
Since I'm an Emacs user, this has strong appeal.

## [SymPy Logic Module](https://docs.sympy.org/latest/modules/logic.html)

"The logic module for SymPy allows to form and manipulate logic expressions using symbolic and Boolean values."

## [Taut](https://www.taut-logic.com)

"This is a website that contains randomly-generated, self-correcting logic excercises. It runs directly on your browser, so there is no need to download anything. It was designed by [Ariel Roffé](https://sites.google.com/view/ariel-roffe/home) (UBA / UNQ / CONICET), with support from the [BA-Logic](http://ba-logic.com) group"

# Programming Languages and Libraries

## [Metamath](http://us.metamath.org/index.html)

‘Metamath is a tiny language that can express theorems in abstract mathematics, accompanied by proofs that can be verified by a computer program.’

## [miniKanren](http://minikanren.org)

"miniKanren is an embedded Domain Specific Language for logic programming."

"miniKanren has been implemented in a growing number of host languages, including Scheme, Racket, Clojure,
Haskell, Python, JavaScript, Scala, Ruby, OCaml, and PHP, among many other languages."

## Lisp

### [Common Lisp](https://common-lisp.net)

1. [The Common Lisp Cookbook](https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/)

2. [Practical Common Lisp](http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/)

"If you think the greatest pleasure in programming comes from getting a lot done with code that simply and clearly expresses your intention, then programming in Common Lisp is likely to be about the most fun you can have with a computer. You'll get more done, faster, using it than you would using pretty much any other language."

### [Clojure](https://clojure.org)

### [Scheme](https://schemers.org)

## [Logica](https://opensource.googleblog.com/2021/04/logica-organizing-your-data-queries.html)

‘We present Logica, a novel open source Logic Programming language. A successor to Yedalog (a language developed at Google earlier) it is a Datalog-like logic programming language. Logica code compiles to SQL and runs on Google BigQuery (with experimental support for PostgreSQL and SQLite), but it is much more concise and supports the clean and reusable abstraction mechanisms that SQL lacks. It supports modules and imports, it can be used from an interactive Python notebook and it even makes testing your queries natural and easy.’

## Prolog

### [Awesome Prolog](https://github.com/klaussinani/awesome-prolog)

"Logic Programming in Python"

### [PySWIP](https://github.com/yuce/pyswip)

"PySWIP is a Python - SWI-Prolog bridge enabling to query SWI-Prolog in your Python programs. It features an (incomplete) SWI-Prolog foreign language interface, a utility class that makes it easy querying with Prolog and also a Pythonic interface."

### [truths - auto generate truth tables](https://github.com/tr3buchet/truths)

### [tt - the Boolean expression toolbox](https://tt.brianwel.ch/en/latest/)

tt (truth table) is a library aiming to provide a Pythonic toolkit for working with Boolean expressions and truth tables.
