An Inductive Proof System is an Accelerated Simulator and Decider which operates by automatically detecting and proving transition rules using Mathematical Induction.

Inductive Rule

An inductive rule is a general transition rule (a start and end configuration, generalized with variables for repetition counts) along with a proof. The proof generally has two pieces: the base case and the inductive case. Each is a list of steps where each step is (A) a specific TM transition, (B) an application of the inductive hypothesis, (C) an application of a previously defined rule.
