`getUniverseFromEq`🔗

Definition

Get the universe level from the left side of an equality expression.

def

getUniverseFromEq (eq : Lean.Expr) : Lean.MetaM Lean.Level
getUniverseFromEq (eq : Lean.Expr) :
  Lean.MetaM Lean.Level

Code

def getUniverseFromEq (eq : Expr) : MetaM Level := do
  let eq ← instantiateMVars eq
  let eq ← zetaReduce eq
  let eq ← whnf eq
  let eq := eq.consumeMData
  let some (_, lhs, _) := eq.eq? | throwError "Expected an equality, got: {eq}."
  let l ← getLevel (← inferType lhs)
  match l with
  | Level.succ l' => return l'
  | _ => throwError "Expected a universe level ≥ 1, got: {l}"

Dependency graph

Nothing to draw. Its statement rests on no other declaration in this project, and names nothing from a package left unaudited — so the graph is this declaration alone. That is the answer, not a missing picture.

Audit surface: 0 project declarations, 77 external constants

✓ Proved: no sorry anywhere in its closure

This is the tool's own reading of one build's recorded axioms, and it is not robust against an author who wants it to pass. Checking meant to be relied on should go through Comparator, which replays the proof through the kernel from an export against an explicit list of permitted axioms.
