 For instance, at one point in the proof, we need to draw a conclusion from a premise $s \in \mathcal F_0$, meaning that $s$ is an initial state.
 By inversion, because set $\mathcal F_0$ is defined by a single inference rule, that rule must have been used to conclude the premise, so it must be that $s = \mathsf{WithAccumulator}(n_0, 1)$.

 When variable \texttt{global} is initialized to 0 and $n$ threads run this code at once and all terminate, we expect that \texttt{global} finishes with value $n$.
 Of course, bugs in this program, like forgetting to include the locking, could lead to all sorts of wrong answers, with any value between 1 and $n$ possible with the right demonic thread interleaving.

 In particular, we will define a transition system for a single thread as $\mathcal L = \angled{(\mathbb N \times \mathbb B) \times P, \mathcal L_0, \to_{\mathcal L}}$.
 We define the state to include not only the thread-local state $P$ but also the value of \texttt{global} (in $\mathbb N$) and whether the lock is currently taken (in $\mathbb B$, the Booleans, with values $\top$ [true] and $\bot$ [false]).
 There is one designated initial state.

 Four inference rules explain the four transitions between program counters that a single thread can make, reading and writing shared state as needed.
