Abstract
This chapter is the first of Part IV, in which propose a compositional verification method to derive a correctness formula for a rule program from individual correctness formulas for its rules. This verification method is composed of several proof rules that are suited to various types of rule programs and assertions. In the present chapter, we introduce a simpler proof rule for a particular class of rule programs, so as to exhibit the core mechanism at play.
