-- The claim that there is a prime larger than 10

-- The triple consisting of

-- (2) a witness that 11 > 10
-- (3) a witness that 11 is prime
data Even : ℕ → Set where
base : Even zero
-- Logical reading: "By definition, zero is even."
-- Computational reading: "We have a witness of evenness of zero."
step : {n : ℕ} → Even n → Even (succ (succ n))
-- Logical reading: "For every number n, if n is even, then
-- succ (succ n) is even."
-- Computational reading: "We have a function, namely 'step',
-- which reads a number n and a witness that n is even as input,
-- and outputs a witness that succ (succ n) is even."
-- Let's define the notion of twin numbers,
-- for instance 10 and 12 are twins,
-- or 31 and 33 are twins.
-- In Agda, we introduce a type family Twin:
-- For all numbers "a" and "b", there will be a type "Twin a b"
-- of witnesses that "a" and "b" are twins. For many values of "a"
-- and "b", this type will be empty. For instance, "Twin zero zero"
-- will be empty, because zero and zero are not twins.

link : {n : ℕ} → Twin n (succ (succ n))
-- "link" is a function which takes one argument,
-- namely a number "n", and outputs a freshly-minted
-- witness that n and succ (succ n) are twins.
-- Thanks to the curly braces, we usually do not need to
-- explicitly specify the first argument. Instead, Agda
-- will try to infer it.

data ⊥ : Set where
-- logical reading: Assuming that zero and zero would
-- be twins, we would have a contradiction.
-- computational reading: We can transform hypothetical

-- Let's define equality! For all numbers "a" and "b",
-- there will be a type "a ≡ b" of witnesses that "a" and "b"

-- will be empty. In contrast, the type "zero ≡ zero" will
-- be inhabited.
