by S.Berardi and S. Valentini. The tutorial is by Enrico Tassi.
+The tutorial spends a considerable amount of effort in defining
+notations that resemble the ones used in the original paper. We believe
+this a important part of every formalization, not only for the estetic
+point of view, but also from the practical point of view. Being
+consistent allows to follow the paper in a pedantic way.

Orientering

- A ∪ B `A \cup B`
- A ∩ B `A \cap B`
+- A ≬ B `A \between B`
- x ∈ A `x \in A`
- Ω^A, that is the type of the subsets of A, `\Omega ^ A`
The first (technical) definition
--------------------------------
+Before defining the cover relation as an inductive predicate, one
+has to notice that the infinity rule uses, in its hypotheses, the
+cover relation between two subsets, while the inductive predicate
+we are going to define relates an element and a subset.
+
+An option would be to unfold the definition of cover between subsets,
+but we prefer to define the abstract notion of cover between subsets
+(so that we can attach a (ambiguous) notation to it).
+
+Anyway, to ease the understaing of the definition of the cover relation
+between subsets, we first define the inductive predicate unfolding the
+definition, and we later refine it with.

+
+We defined the xcover (x will be removed in the final version of the
+definition) as an inductive predicate. The arity of the inductive
+predicate has to be carefully analyzed:
+
+> (A : Ax) (U : Ω^A) : A → CProp[0]
+The syntax separates with `:` abstractions that are fixed for every
+constructor (introduction rule) and abstractions that can change. In that
+case the parameter `U` is abstracted once and forall in front of every
+constructor, and every occurrence of the inductive predicate is applied to
+`U` in a consistent way. Arguments abstracted on the right of `:` are not
+constant, for example the xcinfinity constructor introduces `a ◃ U`,
+but under the assumption that (for every y) `y ◃ U`. In that rule, the left
+had side of the predicate changes, thus it has to be abstrated (in the arity
+of the inductive predicate) on the right of `:`.

+
+We want now to abstract out `(∀y.y ∈ 𝐂 a i → xcover A U y)` and define
+a notion `cover_set` to which a notation `𝐂 a i ◃ U` can be attached.
+
+This notion has to be abstracted over the cover relation (whose
+type is the arity of the inductive `xcover` predicate just defined).
+
+Then it has to be abstracted over the arguments of that cover relation,
+i.e. the axiom set and the set U, and the subset (in that case `𝐂 a i`)
+sitting on the left hand side of `◃`.

+The `ndefinition` command takes a name, a type and body (of that type).
+The type can be omitted, and in that case it is inferred by the system.
+If the type is given, the system uses it to infer implicit arguments
+of the body. In that case all types are left implicit in the body.
+
+We now define the notation `a ◃ b`. Here the keywork `hvbox`
+and `break` tell the system how to wrap text when it does not
+fit the screen (they can be safely ignore for the scope of
+this tutorial). we also add an interpretation for that notation,
+where the (abstracted) cover relation is implicit. The system
+will not be able to infer it from the other arguments `C` and `U`
+and will thus prompt the user for it. This is also why we named this
+interpretation `covers set temp`: we will later define another
+interpretation in which the cover relation is the one we are going to
+define.
