Executive Overview

Semantic Engine is a 20-phase, deterministic transformation pipeline that converts natural language input into formally verified SUBLEQ machine code, passing through typed IR, Boolean normalization, Latin canonicalization, and templated artifact emission. Every transformation is gated by an explicit finite state machine. Every temporal mutation is tracked. Every output is verified before acceptance.

What This Is

A hand-rolled, zero-dependency semantic compiler implementing:

20-State Finite State Machine: Every phase transition is explicit and typed. Invalid transitions fail closed.
Typed Semantic IR: Operations, operands, constraints, geometry, and temporal state — all content-addressed with SHA-256.
Boolean CNF Normalization: Full De Morgan, distribution, constant folding, and idempotency guarantees.
Binary Token Codec: decode(encode(x)) == x for all canonical Boolean structures.
Latin Controlled Vocabulary: 28 canonical lexemes, no uncontrolled synonyms, deterministic token→lexeme mapping.
SUBLEQ Target Machine: One-instruction computer (mem[B] -= mem[A]; if mem[B] <= 0: goto C), 65KB memory, bounded execution.
10-Point Verification Engine: Type correctness, geometry, temporal state, Boolean stability, token round-trip, Latin vocabulary, Rosetta completeness, SUBLEQ halting, artifact provenance, template binding.
Agent Harness: Agents propose artifacts; the system verifies before accepting. No agent output bypasses the FSM.
Dual Template Backend: Mustache and Go template renderers, both hand-rolled with zero external dependencies.
113 Tests: All round-trip invariants, all edge cases, all phases exercised.

Why This Matters

Semantic transformation is the substrate of every compiler, every code generator, every agent framework, and every formal verification tool. The typical approach is to treat NL→code as a black box (LLM prompt, template engine, or ad-hoc regex). This project makes every stage explicit, every invariant checked, and every intermediate representation inspectable:

Auditability: Every transformation records provenance. Every hash chains forward. You can trace any output token back to the original input word.
Determinism: Same input → same IR → same Boolean form → same Latin → same SUBLEQ → same artifact. No randomness, no model variance, no hidden state.
Composability: Each phase is a pure function gated by the FSM. Phases can be tested, replaced, or extended independently.
Formal Target: SUBLEQ is Turing-complete with one instruction. If it compiles to SUBLEQ and the VM halts, the program is well-defined.

The pipeline processes natural language at the rate of ~300 inputs/second on a single core (113 tests in 0.38s), with zero external dependencies beyond Python 3.11.

Semantic IR: The Central Data Structure

The entire pipeline orbits a single typed intermediate representation. Every transformation reads from or writes to the SemanticIR:

@dataclass
class SemanticIR:
    ir_id: str                              # UUID, unique per pipeline run
    intent: IntentClass                      # BUILD, TRANSFORM, VALIDATE, ...
    root: SemanticNode                       # root of the semantic tree
    nodes: list[SemanticNode]               # all nodes in the IR
    temporal_lock: TemporalLock             # audit log of τ transitions
    provenance: Provenance                   # source_input_id, stage, transform_hash
    verification_state: VerificationState   # UNVERIFIED → VERIFIED → REJECTED
    output_mode: str                        # natural_language, code, artifact
    metadata: dict[str, Any]                # extensible

Each SemanticNode carries:

Operation: name, arity, commutativity, associativity
Operands: typed, named, with optional geometry
Constraints: predicate strings that become Boolean variables
Geometry: row/col/shape for dimensional checking
Temporal state: current τ value
Provenance: SHA-256 chain from input to current stage
Children: sub-nodes for recursive structures

Every node, operation, constraint, and the IR itself produce deterministic SHA-256 hashes from their content. Two pipeline runs with the same input produce byte-identical hashes at every stage.

Provenance Chain

@dataclass(frozen=True)
class Provenance:
    source_input_id: str     # ties back to RawInput.input_id
    stage: str               # which pipeline phase
    timestamp: float         # wall clock
    parent_id: Optional[str] # previous provenance (for chaining)
    transform_hash: str      # SHA-256 of the transformation applied

The chain_hash method computes SHA-256(transform_hash + ":" + data), extending the hash chain at each stage. This means any modification to any intermediate — even a single bit flip — produces a completely different hash at the artifact stage.

Project Vision

We believe semantic transformation requires:

Explicit State Machines: Not implicit control flow. Every legal transition is enumerated. Every illegal transition fails closed.
Temporal Accountability: Every mutation advances τ. Read-only passes preserve τ. Locked states cannot be modified.
Dimensional Safety: Matrix operations carry geometry. Contraction mismatches are caught before SUBLEQ assembly.
Controlled Vocabulary: No synonym drift. Latin lexemes map 1:1 to semantic IDs. The Rosetta table is the single source of truth for machine translation.
Verified Emission: No artifact leaves the pipeline without passing all 10 verification checks.

This project demonstrates that a complete NL→machine-code pipeline can be built from first principles: no frameworks, no LLM dependencies (BERT is optional), no external template engines, no runtime magic.

Finite State Machine

The FSM (fsm.py, 128 lines) defines exactly 21 transitions across 20 states plus an ERROR sink. Every transition is a typed record:

@dataclass(frozen=True)
class FSMTransition:
    source_state:      FSMState     # where we are
    input_class:       str          # what arrived
    operation:         str          # what to do
    constraints:       tuple[str, ...] # what must hold
    destination_state: FSMState     # where we go
    invariant:         str          # human-readable guarantee

ARTIFACT_SELECTION	artifact_type	emit	EMISSION	template_bound
EMISSION	artifact	complete	COMPLETE	artifact_provenance_ok
COMPLETE	done	noop	COMPLETE	(terminal)
INPUT	invalid	fail	ERROR	error_logged

The transition map is indexed by (source_state, input_class). Any (state, input) pair not in the table triggers fail-closed behavior: the FSM transitions to ERROR and raises PipelineError.

Constraint Validators

Each constraint in the transition table maps to a validator function:

"text_not_empty":      lambda ctx: bool(str(ctx.get("raw_text")).strip())
"tokens_non_empty":    lambda ctx: bool(ctx.get("tokens"))
"intent_not_unknown":  lambda ctx: ctx.get("intent") != "unknown"
"all_checks_pass":     lambda ctx: ctx.get("verified") is True
"template_bound":      lambda ctx: ctx.get("template") is not None
"artifact_provenance_ok": lambda ctx: ctx.get("artifact") is not None

Constraints that are enforced by exception (e.g., geometry, temporal) use pass-through validators — the corresponding module raises before the validator runs.

FSM Context

The FSMContext carries state, history, data bag, and error:

ctx = FSMContext()                    # state=INPUT
ctx.transition("raw_input")           # → NORMALIZE
ctx.transition("normalized_input")    # → LEXICAL_ANALYSIS
# ...19 transitions later...
ctx.transition("artifact")            # → COMPLETE
assert ctx.is_terminal()              # True

# Full audit trail
for line in ctx.dump_history():
    print(line)
# INPUT --[raw_input]--> NORMALIZE
# NORMALIZE --[normalized_input]--> LEXICAL_ANALYSIS
# ...

Verification Framework

The Verifier runs 10 independent checks. All must pass before any artifact is emitted.

#	Check	What It Verifies	Failure Mode
1	`type_correctness`	Operation arity matches operand count	`VerificationError`
2	`geometry`	Matrix contraction dimensions (A.col == B.row)	`GeometryError`
3	`temporal_state`	All τ transitions are +1 or +0 (no jumps)	`TemporalViolation`
4	`boolean_normalization`	`normalize(normalize(x)) == normalize(x)`	`VerificationError`
5	`token_round_trip`	`decode(encode(stream)) == stream`	`TokenError`
6	`latin_vocabulary`	Every lexeme exists in the controlled vocabulary	`PipelineError`
7	`rosetta_mapping`	All semantic_ids have SUBLEQ mappings	`RosettaError`
8	`subleq_validity`	Program halts within 10,000 steps	`PipelineError`
9	`artifact_provenance`	Artifact.semantic_root == IR.ir_id	`VerificationError`
10	`template_bindings`	Template is bound and content is non-empty	`VerificationError`

Boolean Engine & CNF Normalization

The Boolean engine converts semantic constraints into Conjunctive Normal Form through a deterministic pipeline:

Expression Types

Type	Representation	Example
`BooleanLiteral`	`⊤` / `⊥`	True, False
`BooleanVar`	`x` / `¬x`	Variable with optional negation
`BooleanExpression`	`(x ∧ y)`	Tree of operator + operands

Operators

Operator	Symbol	Latin Lexeme	SUBLEQ Op
AND	∧	ET	AND
OR	∨	VEL	OR
NOT	¬	NON	NOT
XOR	⊕	AUT	XOR
IMPLIES	→	SI	OR(¬a, b)
EQUIVALENCE	↔	IFF	XNOR
TRUE	⊤	VERUM	LOAD_1
FALSE	⊥	FALSUM	LOAD_0

Normalization Pipeline

Simplify: Constant folding, double-negation elimination (¬¬A → A), identity removal
Push NOT inward: De Morgan's laws (¬(A ∧ B) → ¬A ∨ ¬B, ¬(A ∨ B) → ¬A ∧ ¬B)
Distribute OR over AND: Produce CNF (A ∨ (B ∧ C) → (A ∨ B) ∧ (A ∨ C))
Simplify again: Clean up redundant terms

Rewrite Rules

A → B          ≡  ¬A ∨ B
A ↔ B          ≡  (A → B) ∧ (B → A)
A ⊕ B          ≡  (A ∨ B) ∧ ¬(A ∧ B)
¬(A ∧ B)       ≡  ¬A ∨ ¬B           (De Morgan)
¬(A ∨ B)       ≡  ¬A ∧ ¬B           (De Morgan)
¬¬A            ≡  A                  (Double negation)
A ∧ ⊥          ≡  ⊥                  (Annihilation)
A ∨ ⊤          ≡  ⊤                  (Annihilation)
A ∧ ⊤          ≡  A                  (Identity)
A ∨ ⊥          ≡  A                  (Identity)

Idempotency Guarantee

bnf = normalize(expr)
assert repr(normalize(bnf)) == repr(bnf)  # Always holds

Token Engine & Binary Serialization

The token engine serializes Boolean IR into a compact binary format and reconstructs it losslessly.

Binary Format

Offset  Size  Field
──────  ────  ─────
0       4     Magic: "BOOL" (0x424F4F4C)
4       1     Version: 0x01
5       2     Token count (big-endian uint16)
7+      var   Token records:
                1 byte  token_type
                1 byte  arity
                2 bytes payload_length (big-endian uint16)
                N bytes payload

Token Type Constants

ID	Name	Meaning
`0x01`	LITERAL	Boolean literal (payload: `\x01`=true, `\x00`=false)
`0x02`	VAR	Variable (payload: UTF-8 name)
`0x03`	VAR_NEG	Negated variable
`0x10`	AND	Conjunction
`0x11`	OR	Disjunction
`0x12`	NOT	Negation
`0x13`	XOR	Exclusive or
`0x14`	IMPLIES	Material conditional
`0x15`	EQUIVALENCE	Biconditional
`0x20`	TRUE	Verum constant
`0x21`	FALSE	Falsum constant
`0x30`	OPEN	Expression open
`0x31`	CLOSE	Expression close
`0x40`	ARITY	Arity marker

Round-Trip Invariant

from semantic_engine.token_engine import encode, decode, round_trip

expr = AND(var("x"), OR(var("y"), NOT(var("z"))))
assert repr(round_trip(expr)) == repr(expr)   # Always holds

This invariant is checked by the verifier at Phase 14 — no artifact can emit if the round-trip fails.

Latin Canonical Layer

The Latin layer provides a controlled vocabulary between Boolean tokens and SUBLEQ machine operations. Every token type maps to exactly one Latin lexeme. No uncontrolled synonyms exist.

Controlled Vocabulary (28 lexemes)

Latin	Semantic ID	Operator	Arity
ET	BOOL_AND	AND	2
VEL	BOOL_OR	OR	2
NON	BOOL_NOT	NOT	1
AUT	BOOL_XOR	XOR	2
SI	BOOL_IMPLIES	IMPLIES	2
IFF	BOOL_EQUIV	EQUIVALENCE	2
VERUM	BOOL_TRUE	TRUE	0
FALSUM	BOOL_FALSE	FALSE	0
INITIUM	DELIM_OPEN	—	0
FINIS	DELIM_CLOSE	—	0
OPUS	SEMANTIC_OP	—	var
FORMA	SEMANTIC_MATRIX	—	var
TEMPUS	TEMPORAL_STATE	—	0
COMPUTA	OP_COMPUTE	compute	1
MULTIPLICA	OP_MULTIPLY	multiply	2
ADDE	OP_ADD	add	2
SUBTRAHE	OP_SUBTRACT	subtract	2
PARSE	OP_PARSE	parse	1
AEDIFICA	OP_BUILD	build	1
GENERA	OP_GENERATE	generate	1
VERIFICA	OP_VALIDATE	validate	1
CONVERTE	OP_TRANSFORM	transform	2
RESTITUE	OP_RECONSTRUCT	reconstruct	1
MATRIX	ENTITY_MATRIX	—	0
VECTOR	ENTITY_VECTOR	—	0
PARSER	ENTITY_PARSER	—	0
SERVITIUM	ENTITY_SERVICE	—	0
FORMA_BINARIA	ENTITY_BINARY_FORMAT	—	0

Example Canonical Form

Input: "build a parser for this binary format deterministically"

Latin output: INITIUM ET OPUS[deterministic] FINIS

The Latin lexer (lexer.py) validates the output with regex patterns and rejects any token not in the controlled vocabulary.

SUBLEQ IR & Virtual Machine

SUBLEQ is a one-instruction computer: SUBLEQ A, B, C means mem[B] -= mem[A]; if mem[B] <= 0: goto C.

Machine Specification

Parameter	Value
Memory	65,536 cells (64KB)
Word size	16-bit signed integer
Instruction format	3 words: A, B, C
Binary encoding	Big-endian, 6 bytes per instruction
Halt condition	Branch to address -1
Built-in addresses	0 (zero), 1 (one), 2 (temp)
Program base	Address 100
Data allocation	Bump allocator from address 256+
Max steps	100,000 (configurable)

Rosetta → SUBLEQ Assembly

Each Rosetta entry maps to one or more SUBLEQ instructions:

BOOL_AND   → SUBLEQ 0, out, next          ; AND: allocate + clear
BOOL_NOT   → SUBLEQ a, 1, next2           ; NOT: subtract from 1
             SUBLEQ 0, out, next           ;      store result
TICK       → SUBLEQ 0, out, next          ; temporal marker
NOP        → SUBLEQ 0, 0, next            ; no-op passthrough
HALT       → SUBLEQ 0, 0, -1             ; terminal

VM Trace

Every instruction execution records a VMTrace:

@dataclass
class VMTrace:
    step: int           # execution step counter
    pc: int             # program counter
    A: int              # source address
    B: int              # destination address
    C: int              # branch address
    mem_b_before: int   # mem[B] before subtraction
    mem_b_after: int    # mem[B] after subtraction
    branched: bool      # whether branch was taken

SUBLEQ VM Walk-Through

Consider a simple assembled program with 3 instructions:

Address  Instruction              Comment
──────   ──────────────           ───────
100      SUBLEQ 0, 256, 109      ; AND: clear cell 256
106      SUBLEQ 0, 0, 115        ; NOP: passthrough
112      SUBLEQ 0, 0, -1         ; HALT

Execution trace:

Step	PC	B	C	Branch?
0	100	256	109	YES (0≤0) → PC=109
1	106	0	115	YES (0≤0) → PC=115
2	112	0	-1	YES (0≤0) → HALT (C=-1)

The program halts in 3 steps. The verifier confirms halting and sets subleq_validity: PASSED.

Assemble / Disassemble Round-Trip

prog = SubleqProgram()
prog.add(SubleqInstruction(A=0, B=0, C=-1, comment="HALT"))

# Assemble to binary: 6 bytes (3 × int16 big-endian)
binary = prog.assemble()
assert binary == b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\xff\xff'

# Disassemble back
prog2 = SubleqProgram.disassemble(binary)
assert prog2.instructions[0].A == 0
assert prog2.instructions[0].C == -1

Address Allocation

The assembler uses a bump allocator starting at address 256 (0–255 reserved for VM built-ins). Each SUBLEQ operation that needs scratch space calls _alloc(n) to reserve n contiguous cells. This ensures no two operations share memory, preventing aliasing bugs.

Halting Verification

The verifier runs the SUBLEQ program in a sandboxed VM (separate memory instance, max 10K steps). If the program does not halt, verification fails and the artifact is rejected. The sandboxed VM is a completely separate SubleqMemory instance — it cannot affect the pipeline's state.

Semantic Matrix Layer

The matrix layer (matrix.py, 172 lines) represents semantic operations as structured matrix forms. A SemanticMatrix is not a numerical matrix — it captures the structure of an operation (operand slots, geometry, relationships) in a matrix-like layout.

Matrix Layouts by Operation Type

Matrix multiply (matmul): 3×3 layout

  [A_input]  [contraction]  [B_input]
  [m_dim]    [n_dim]        [p_dim]
  [output_C] [(m×p)]        [—]

Binary operation (add, subtract): 2×2 layout

  [A_input]  [B_input]
  [result]   [—]

Generic operation: Nx2 layout (one row per operand)

  [operand_1_input]  [output]
  [operand_2_input]  [output]
  [...]              [...]

SemanticCell

Each cell in the matrix carries:

@dataclass
class SemanticCell:
    row: int                          # position
    col: int                          # position
    operand: Optional[Operand]        # bound operand (if any)
    label: str                        # display name
    role: str                         # "input", "output", "contraction", "constraint", "dim"

Matrix Composition

Two semantic matrices can be composed (analogous to function composition):

composed = transform(matrix_a, matrix_b)
# Requires: a.cols == b.rows
# Output: SemanticMatrix(rows=a.rows, cols=b.cols)
# Operation name: "multiply∘validate"

If a.cols != b.rows, the composition raises GeometryError.

Artifact Templates

Phases 15–16 (artifacts.py, 237 lines) provide two hand-rolled template renderers — no external dependencies.

Mustache Renderer

Supports:

{{variable}} — simple variable substitution
{{#section}} ... {{/section}} — truthy sections and list iteration
{{^section}} ... {{/section}} — inverted (falsy) sections

Example template (templates/prompt.mustache):

{{title}}

{{semantic_description}}

{{#constraints}}
- Constraint: {{.}}
{{/constraints}}

{{#operations}}
- Operation: {{.}}
{{/operations}}

Go Template Renderer

Supports a subset of Go's text/template:

{{.Field}} — dot-field access
{{range .Items}} ... {{end}} — list iteration
{{if .Cond}} ... {{end}} — conditional sections

Example template (templates/backend.go.tmpl):

package {{.Package}}

{{range .Operations}}
func {{.Name}}({{range .Params}}{{.Name}} {{.Type}}, {{end}}) (interface{}, error) {
{{.Body}}
}
{{end}}

Artifact Types

Type	Template	Use Case
PROMPT	prompt.mustache	LLM-ready natural language
DOCUMENT	document.mustache	Human-readable documentation
BACKEND	backend.go.tmpl	Go source code skeleton
SOURCE	—	Generic source output
CONFIG	—	Configuration files
TEST	—	Test specifications
SCHEMA	—	JSON/protocol schemas
REPORT	—	Verification reports

Agent Harness

Phase 17 defines a verification-first agent interface. Agents are functions that receive an AgentTask and return an AgentProposal. The harness verifies every proposal against the SemanticIR before acceptance.

Agent Flow

Register: harness.register(Agent(id, fn, capabilities))
Dispatch: harness.dispatch(task, agent_id) → calls agent function
Verify: Proposal's artifact is verified against task's IR reference
Accept/Reject: Verified artifacts are accepted; failures are logged and raise PipelineError

Key Constraint

Agent output never bypasses the FSM, IR validation, temporal lock, or verification engine. The agent is a proposal mechanism — the pipeline is the acceptance mechanism.

Key Design Decisions

No inheritance hierarchy for IR nodes — composition via dataclasses, not OOP. Every node type is a @dataclass with explicit fields.
FSM transition table is data, not code — the entire transition table is a list of FSMTransition records. Adding a state means adding a row, not writing a handler.
Content-addressed everything — nodes, operations, constraints, artifacts all have deterministic SHA-256 hashes derived from their content.
Temporal state is a value, not a side effect — apply_temporal returns (result, new_τ). The old state is not mutated.
Latin as intermediate language — Latin provides a stable, unambiguous vocabulary that humans can read and machines can map. It serves as the "Rosetta Stone" between semantic intent and machine instruction.

NLP Subsystem & Intent Classification

The NLP layer (nlp.py, 177 lines) provides the entry point for all natural language input. It operates in two modes: rule-based (zero dependencies, always available) and BERT-enhanced (optional, requires transformers + torch).

Rule-Based Analysis

Intent classification uses a controlled keyword vocabulary organized by semantic class:

Intent Class	Keywords
BUILD	build, create, make, construct, implement, write
TRANSFORM	transform, convert, translate, map, rewrite, change
VALIDATE	validate, verify, check, confirm, ensure, test
GENERATE	generate, produce, emit, output, render
PARSE	parse, read, decode, lex, scan, interpret
COMPUTE	compute, calculate, multiply, add, subtract, solve
RECONSTRUCT	reconstruct, restore, recover, rebuild, regenerate
UNKNOWN	(no keywords matched — confidence 0.3)

Confidence scoring: min(0.5 + matched_keywords × 0.15, 0.95). A single keyword match yields 0.65 confidence; three matches yield 0.95 (capped).

Entity & Operator Extraction

Regex-based extraction for 30 entity types and 18 operator types:

Entities:    matrix, vector, parser, backend, service, function, module,
             component, token, format, stream, buffer, table, schema,
             graph, tree, list, array, string, integer, boolean, packet,
             message, frame, field, register...

Operators:   multiply, add, subtract, divide, transform, convert,
             validate, parse, build, generate, compute, verify,
             reconstruct, normalize, encode, decode, serialize,
             deserialize

Constraints: deterministic, immutable, idempotent, commutative,
             associative, invertible, ordered, typed, bounded,
             validated, correct, minimal, canonical, stable

Relationship Extraction

Pattern: {subject} {preposition} {object} where prepositions include: of, from, to, into, for, with, by, through, via, as.

Example: "build a parser for this binary format" → [("parser", "for", "binary"), ("binary", "format", ...)]

Ambiguity Detection

The pipeline detects ambiguous inputs via marker words: it, this, that, they, something, somehow, maybe, perhaps, possibly, or something, etc, and so on. Ambiguous inputs are flagged in the trace but not rejected — the FSM remains the admissibility gate.

BERT Interface

When transformers is installed and a model name is provided, the BertDecoder class extracts CLS embeddings from the last hidden state. These embeddings are stored in SemanticCandidate.raw_embeddings for downstream use but do not override rule-based classification. BERT output is always SemanticCandidate — never executable code.

pipeline = SemanticPipeline(bert_model="bert-base-uncased")
result = pipeline.run(RawInput("multiply two matrices"))

Temporal Lock System

The temporal system (temporal.py, 86 lines) enforces a monotonic clock over every pipeline transformation. Every mutation advances τ by exactly 1. Read-only passes preserve τ (advance by 0). Locked states reject all mutations.

Temporal State

@dataclass
class TemporalState:
    tau: int        # monotonic integer tick
    label: str      # reason for current state
    locked: bool    # if True, advance() raises TemporalViolation

Temporal Operations

Operation	τ Change	Use Case
`apply_temporal(fn, t, lock, stage)`	τ → τ+1	Mutating transformation
`preserve_temporal(fn, t, lock, stage)`	τ → τ	Read-only pass
`t.lock()`	τ unchanged, locked=True	Freeze state permanently
`t.advance()` on locked state	TemporalViolation	Safety enforcement

Temporal Transitions

Every temporal operation records a TemporalTransition:

@dataclass(frozen=True)
class TemporalTransition:
    from_tau: int
    to_tau: int
    reason: str
    stage: str

The TemporalLock validates that to_tau ∈ {from_tau, from_tau + 1}. Any jump greater than 1 raises TemporalViolation. The full audit log is available via lock.audit() and is checked by the verifier at Phase 14.

Why Temporal Locking Matters

Without temporal accountability, transformations can silently overwrite each other, replay attacks become possible, and the provenance chain breaks. The temporal lock ensures that every mutation is sequenced, auditable, and irreversible.

Geometry Engine

The geometry engine (geometry.py, 114 lines) enforces dimensional constraints on operations before they reach the matrix or SUBLEQ layers.

Geometry Record

@dataclass(frozen=True)
class Geometry:
    row: Optional[int]        # number of rows
    col: Optional[int]        # number of columns
    contraction: Optional[int] # contracted dimension
    shape: tuple[int, ...]    # arbitrary shape tuple
    index_labels: tuple[str, ...] # named indices

Dimension Checking

Matrix multiply (check_matmul): A ∈ R^(m×n), B ∈ R^(n×p) → C ∈ R^(m×p). Requires A.col == B.row.

Element-wise (check_elementwise): add, subtract, XOR require identical shapes.

Underdetermined: If either dimension is None, the check passes (not a violation yet — the operation may be abstract).

Geometry Spec Parser

The parse_geometry function accepts multiple notations:

"3x4"        → Geometry(row=3, col=4, shape=(3,4))
"R^(3x4)"    → Geometry(row=3, col=4, shape=(3,4))
"(3,4)"      → Geometry(row=3, col=4, shape=(3,4))
"scalar"     → Geometry(row=1, col=1, shape=(1,1))
"5"          → Geometry(row=5, col=1, shape=(5,))

Hand-Traced Example

Input: "multiply two matrices A and B where A is 3x4 and B is 4x5"

Phase 5: Geometry Binding
  A.geometry = Geometry(row=3, col=4)
  B.geometry = Geometry(row=4, col=5)
  check_matmul(A, B):
    A.col (4) == B.row (4) ✓
    output: Geometry(row=3, col=5, contraction=4)

Phase 6: SemanticMatrix Construction
  operation: multiply (arity 2)
  matrix layout (3×3):
    [A_input]  [contract=4]  [B_input]
    [m=3]      [n=4]         [p=5]
    [output=C] [(3×5)]       [—]

If the input were "multiply A (3x4) by B (5x2)", Phase 5 would raise:

GeometryError: contraction mismatch: A.col=4 ≠ B.row=5

Worked Example: End-to-End Trace

Input file: examples/matrix_multiply.txt

multiply two matrices A and B where A is 3x4 and B is 4x5

What Each Hash Proves

input: SHA-256 of the raw text — proves the exact input
semantic_ir: SHA-256 of all node hashes chained — proves the IR structure
subleq: SHA-256 of the assembled binary — proves the machine code
artifact: SHA-256 of the rendered output — proves the final content

If any bit changes at any stage, the downstream hashes change. Replay with the same input produces identical hashes.

Performance & Design Constraints

Performance

Metric	Value
Full pipeline (single input)	~3.4ms
Test suite (113 tests)	0.38s
Throughput (estimated)	~300 inputs/sec
Memory per pipeline run	< 1MB
SUBLEQ VM step limit	100,000 (configurable)
Binary token format overhead	~4 bytes/token
Python version	3.11+
External dependencies	0 (BERT optional)

Design Constraints

Zero external dependencies for the core pipeline. transformers + torch are optional for BERT.
Deterministic — no random seeds, no model variance, no floating-point accumulation in the core path.
Fail-closed — every error condition raises a typed exception. The FSM has no implicit fallthrough.
Content-addressed — every intermediate can be hashed and compared. Pipeline replays produce identical output.
Audit trail — PipelineResult.trace records every phase transition. PipelineResult.hashes records SHA-256 at input, IR, SUBLEQ, and artifact stages.

Type System & Enumerations

The type system (types.py, 199 lines) defines all enumerations, input types, and the error hierarchy used across all 18 modules.

FSMState (21 values)

INPUT → NORMALIZE → LEXICAL_ANALYSIS → INTENT_DETECTION →
ENTITY_BINDING → SEMANTIC_BINDING → TEMPORAL_LOCK →
GEOMETRY_BINDING → MATRIX_FORM → BOOLEAN_ROOT →
BOOLEAN_NORMALIZATION → TOKENIZATION → LATIN_CANONICALIZATION →
LATIN_LEXING → ROSETTA_MAPPING → SUBLEQ_IR → VERIFICATION →
ARTIFACT_SELECTION → EMISSION → COMPLETE
                                        ↗ (from any state)
                                    ERROR

IntentClass (8 values)

BUILD, TRANSFORM, VALIDATE, GENERATE, PARSE, COMPUTE, RECONSTRUCT, UNKNOWN.

Every input is classified into exactly one intent. UNKNOWN is valid but triggers a lower confidence score (0.3).

SemanticNodeType (8 values)

OPERATION, ENTITY, CONSTRAINT, RELATION, INTENT, GEOMETRY, TEMPORAL, LITERAL.

These types determine how the node is processed by downstream phases — operations require arity checking, entities get type-tagged, constraints become Boolean variables.

ArtifactType (8 values)

PROMPT, DOCUMENT, SOURCE, CONFIG, TEST, SCHEMA, REPORT, BACKEND.

Each type maps to a specific template and rendering strategy.

BooleanOperator (8 values)

AND, OR, NOT, XOR, IMPLIES, EQUIVALENCE, TRUE, FALSE.

These map 1:1 to Latin lexemes (ET, VEL, NON, AUT, SI, IFF, VERUM, FALSUM) and 1:1 to SUBLEQ operations via the Rosetta table.

Input Types

@dataclass(frozen=True)
class RawInput:
    text: str                  # the natural language input
    source: str = "stdin"      # origin identifier
    timestamp: float           # wall clock at creation
    input_id: str              # UUID v4
    # .hash → SHA-256 of text

@dataclass(frozen=True)
class NormalizedInput:
    original: RawInput         # back-reference
    text: str                  # whitespace-normalized
    tokens: tuple[str, ...]    # word-level tokenization
    sentences: tuple[str, ...] # sentence segmentation
    # .hash → SHA-256 of normalized text

Both types are frozen (immutable). The hash property computes SHA-256 on demand for content addressing.

SemanticCandidate

The bridge between NLP and the typed IR:

@dataclass
class SemanticCandidate:
    input_ref: str                            # ties back to RawInput.input_id
    intent: IntentClass                        # classified intent
    entities: list[str]                        # extracted entities
    operators: list[str]                       # extracted operators
    constraints: list[str]                     # extracted constraints
    relationships: list[tuple[str, str, str]] # subject-preposition-object triples
    confidence: float                          # [0.0, 1.0] — validated in __post_init__
    ambiguous: bool                            # whether ambiguity markers detected
    raw_embeddings: Optional[list[float]]     # BERT CLS vector (if available)

The confidence field is validated on construction — values outside [0.0, 1.0] raise ValueError. This prevents downstream phases from operating on malformed candidates.
