construct_complete(V) -> (V, {{u,v}: u,v in V AND u != v})
add_vertex(K_n) -> K_(n+1) by joining new vertex to every old vertex

|E(K_n)| = n(n-1)/2
forall v in V(K_n): deg(v) = n-1

6. INFERENCE RULES
IF simple_undirected(G) AND forall distinct u,v in V: adjacent(u,v)
THEN complete(G)
IF complete(G) AND |V| = n THEN |E| = n(n-1)/2
IF complete(G) AND n >= 1 THEN forall v: deg(v) = n-1
IF simple_undirected(G) AND |E| = n(n-1)/2 THEN complete(G)
IF complete(G) AND S subseteq V THEN complete(induced_subgraph(G,S))
IF complete(G) AND n >= 3 THEN contains_triangle(G)
IF complete(G) AND n >= 5 THEN not planar(G)
IF complete(G) AND n >= 3 THEN not bipartite(G)
CAUTION: edge count alone does not establish completeness for multigraphs or graphs with loops.

8. SEMANTIC_EQUIVALENCE
complete_simple_undirected_graph <=> pairwise_adjacent_distinct_vertices
complete_simple_undirected_graph_of_order_n <=> K_n up to isomorphism
complete_simple_undirected_graph_of_order_n <=> simple_graph_with_n(n-1)/2_edges
complete_simple_undirected_graph_of_order_n <=> simple_graph_with_all_degrees_n-1
NOTE: These equivalences require the specified simple undirected graph assumptions.
9. CONFIDENCE
mathematical_definitions: 1.00

note: Do not invent a digest before canonicalisation and hashing.
11. UPDATE_MODEL
update_trigger: correction_to_definition | theorem | validation | source_page
version_policy: increment version; preserve provenance and prior revision
dependency_checks: GraphOntology, VertexOntology, EdgeOntology, CliqueOntology
revalidate: algebraic laws, boundary cases, semantic equivalences
12. AI_CONSUMPTION
parse_as: typed graph ontology with declarative predicates and rules
primary_entity: CompleteGraph
canonical_notation: K_n
query_examples:
- Is K_5 planar? -> false
- How many edges in K_6? -> 15
- What is the chromatic number of K_4? -> 4
- Is K_2 bipartite? -> true
guardrails:
- Apply simple-graph assumptions before using complete-graph identities.
- Do not confuse complete graphs with complete bipartite graphs.
- Respect empty and singleton graph conventions.
- Do not claim that a source page was verified without retrieval.
