+K Prelude in Lean 4
+
+Functions with the `hook` attribute need to have a manual implementation in the backends.
+This file contains the Lean 4 definitions of the hooked functions in `domains.md`.
+
+Currently we translate hooked functions as uninterpreted functions together with axioms asserting their behavior.
+The current definition can be put into three levels:
+
+1. Signature Level:
+The signature of the hooks, this includes aliases for Sorts and function symbols for hooked functions.
+
+2. Rule Level:
+The behavior of the uninterpreted symbols can be asserted through axioms or theorems.
+Inconsistencies can arise from them, so it falls under the user to make sure axioms are consistent and/or theorems provable.
+
+3. Simplification Level:
+With the theory defined through function rules, simplifications can be stated as theorems.
+These theorems should be provable directly from the function rules and the semantics of the Sorts.

+The `Map` sort represents a generalized associative array.
+Each key can be paired with an arbitrary value, and can be used to reference its associated value.
+Multiple bindings for the same key are not allowed.
+Note that both keys and values will always be KItems.
