摘要：With hybrid systems becoming ever more pervasive, the underlying semantic challenges emerge in their entirety. The need for principled semantic foundations has been recognized previously in the case of discrete computation and discrete data, with subsequent implementations in programming languages and proof assistants. Hybrid systems, contrastingly, do not directly fit into the classical semantic paradigms due to the presence of quite specific "non-programmable" features, such as Zeno behaviour and the inherent indispensable reliance on a notion of continuous time. Here, we analyze the phenomenon of hybrid semantics from a constructive viewpoint. In doing so, we propose a monad-based semantics, generic over a given ordered monoid representing the time domain, hence abstracting from the monoid of constructive reals. We implement our construction as a higher inductive-inductive type in the recent cubical extension of the Agda proof assistant, significantly using state-of-the-art advances of homotopy type theory. We show that classically, i.e. under the axiom of choice, our construction admits a charaterization in terms of directed sequence completion.
