Having experience with prior open source work I'm not likely to release
the current effort until I'm much closer to completion. The whole idea
of CAS and Proof has already generated a hostile reception from both areas
in my email stream.
I've already proven that if I did release Axiom again I'm too socially inept to
manage the process anyway. I'd release a technical paper or two but I'm
no longer associated with CMU so I'm pretty much a "hobby researcher" I guess.
The last Axiom presentation was the invited talk at Notre Dame prior to Covid.
There are a lot of interesting things "in the works" though. One is the
idea of "proof down to the metal" (aka Proof Carrying Code[0]). The use of (FPGA)
field programmable gate arrays[1] and the RISC-V[2] architecture soft-implemented
in the FPGA means that I can run the LEAN proof in parallel with the algorithm at
the hardware level. This not only proves the algorithm correct, it proves the
implementation correct. I have a few FPGAs.
It's all fun and games but I have to wait to release it.
