Brouwer's continuity principle states that all functions from infinite sequences of naturals to naturals are continuous, that is, for every sequence the result depends only on a finite initial segment. It is an intuitionistic axiom that is incompatible with classical mathematics. Recently Martín Escardó proved that it is also inconsistent in type theory.
We present an extension of the computation system and logic of the Nuprl proof assistant with intuitionistic principles, namely versions of Brouwer's bar induction principle, which is equivalent to transfinite induction. We have substantially extended the formalization of Nuprl's type theory within the Coq proof assistant to show that two such bar induction principles are valid w.r.t. Nuprl's semantics...
