Abstract

We show how to extract classical programs expressed in Krivine λc-calculus from proof-terms built in a proof-irrelevant and classical version of the calculus of constructions with universes. For that, we extend Krivine's realisability model of classical second-order arithmetic to the calculus of constructions with universes using a structure of Π-set which is reminiscent of ω-sets, and show that our realisability model validates Peirce's law and proof-irrelevance. Finally, we extend the extraction scheme to a primitive data-type of natural numbers in a way which preserves the whole compatibility with the classical realisability interpretation of second-order arithmetic.
