  We present a set-theoretic, proof-irrelevant model for Calculus of
Constructions (CC) with predicative induction and judgmental equality in
Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory with an axiom for countably many inaccessible
cardinals. We use Aczel's trace encoding which is universally defined for any
function type, regardless of being impredicative. Direct and concrete
interpretations of simultaneous induction and mutually recursive functions are
also provided by extending Dybjer's interpretations on the basis of Aczel's
rule sets. Our model can be regarded as a higher-order generalization of the
truth-table methods. We provide a relatively simple consistency proof of type
theory, which can be used as the basis for a theorem prover.
