We present a new algorithm for deciding formula entailment in orthologic (a sound approximation of classical logic) that avoids the costly preprocessing phase of prior implementations while retaining the same $\mathcal{O}(n^2(1+|A|))$ worst-case complexity. We then introduce a family of synthetic SAT benchmarks based on the observation that, for any formula $ϕ$, the equivalence $ϕ\leftrightarrow \mathrm{NF}_{\mathrm{OL}}(ϕ)$ is a tautology whose Tseitin encoding yields unsatisfiable instances that are hard for state-of-the-art SAT solvers yet have short orthologic proofs. Applied to EPFL arithmetic circuits, our algorithm solves these instances efficiently while Kissat times out on a significant fraction. Finally, we show that using orthologic normalization as a preprocessing step can improve SAT solving time on some hard problems.

Following the types-as-sets paradigm, we present a mechanized embedding of dependent function types with a hierarchy of universes into schematic first-order logic with equality, with axiom schemas of Tarski-Grothendieck set theory. We carry this embedding in the Lisa proof assistant. On top of this foundation, we implement a proof-producing bidirectional type-checking tactic to compute proofs for typing judgements, with partial support for subtyping. We present examples showing how our approach enables automated reasoning for dependent types that is fully verified from set-theoretic axioms and deduction rules for schematic first-order logic with equality. Because types are merely sets, the resulting formalism supports equality that applies to all types and values and permits the usual substitution rules.
