 Theorem reduce_me : pred' 1 = 0.
+(* begin thide *)
   (** CIC follows the traditions of lambda calculus in associating reduction rules with Greek letters.  Coq can certainly be said to support the familiar alpha reduction rule, which allows capture-avoiding renaming of bound variables, but we never need to apply alpha explicitly, since Coq uses a de Bruijn representation that encodes terms canonically.
 
      The delta rule is for unfolding global definitions.  We can use it here to unfold the definition of [pred'].  We do this with the [cbv] tactic, which takes a list of reduction rules and makes as many call-by-value reduction steps as possible, using only those rules.  There is an analogous tactic [lazy] for call-by-name reduction. *)

 (** The standard [eq] relation is critically dependent on the definitional equality.  [eq] is often called a %\textit{%#<i>#propositional equality#</i>#%}%, because it reifies definitional equality as a proposition that may or may not hold.  Standard axiomatizations of an equality predicate in first-order logic define equality in terms of properties it has, like reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity.  In contrast, for [eq] in Coq, those properties are implicit in the properties of the definitional equality, which are built into CIC's metatheory and the implementation of Gallina.  We could add new rules to the definitional equality, and [eq] would keep its definition and methods of use.

 (** Assuming axioms (like axiom K and [JMeq_eq]) is a hazardous business.  The due diligence associated with it is necessarily global in scope, since two axioms may be consistent alone but inconsistent together.  It turns out that all of the major axioms proposed for reasoning about equality in Coq are logically equivalent, so that we only need to pick one to assert without proof.  In this section, we demonstrate this by showing how each the previous two sections' approaches reduces to the other logically.
 
    To show that [JMeq] and its axiom let us prove [UIP_refl], we start from the lemma [UIP_refl'] from the previous section.  The rest of the proof is trivial. *)

 (** We see that, in a very formal sense, we are free to switch back and forth between the two styles of proofs about equality proofs.  One style may be more convenient than the other for some proofs, but we can always intercovert between our results.  The style that does not use heterogeneous equality may be preferable in cases where many results do not require the tricks of this chapter, since then the use of axioms is avoided altogether for the simple cases, and a wider audience will be able to follow those "simple" proofs.  On the other hand, heterogeneous equality often makes for shorter and more readable theorem statements.
 
    It is worth remarking that it is possible to avoid axioms altogether for equalities on types with decidable equality.  The [Eqdep_dec] module of the standard library contains a parametric proof of [UIP_refl] for such cases. *)
