INVARIANTS:
- Every relation pair belongs to its declared domain × codomain.
- Every function assigns exactly one codomain value to each domain element.
- Every graph edge references existing vertices.
- Every probability mass is non-negative and the masses sum to one (within declared tolerance).
- Every automaton's initial and accepting states belong to its state set.
- Inferences retain premises, rule identifiers and provenance.
- Undefined, unproven and false are distinct states.
