PURPOSE
    Define an AI-readable semantic ontology for Semantic Triples,
    including subject, predicate, object, identifiers, literals,
    relationship direction, context, provenance, confidence, graph
    construction, inference and recursive semantic expansion.

CORE_DEFINITION
    A Semantic Triple is a structured knowledge statement consisting of
    a subject, predicate and object, where the predicate expresses a
    semantic relationship or property connecting the subject to the object.

    Resolution
        Identify subject, predicate and object roles, then validate
        identifiers, datatypes, context and semantic relationship.

CONSTRAINTS
    A semantic triple must contain subject, predicate and object roles.

    Subject and object roles must not be reversed without changing semantics.

    Predicate direction must be preserved.

    Literal objects must preserve datatype where available.

    Entity identifiers must remain distinct from entity labels.

    Context-dependent assertions must retain context.

    Provenance should be retained for sourced or inferred triples.

    Inferred triples must remain distinguishable from asserted triples.

    Graph connectivity alone must not be interpreted as causation.

INFERENCE_RULES
    IF
        Triple = (A, R, B)
    THEN
        represent
            R(A,B)

    IF
        Predicate R is symmetric
    AND
        (A, R, B)
    THEN
        infer
            (B, R, A)

    IF
        Predicate R is transitive
    AND
        (A, R, B)
    AND
        (B, R, C)
    THEN
        infer
            (A, R, C)

    IF
        Predicate R has inverse S
    AND
        (A, R, B)
    THEN
        infer
            (B, S, A)

    IF
        Predicate has domain Class A
    AND
        Triple = (X, Predicate, Y)
    THEN

            X instance_of Class A

    IF
        Predicate has range Class B
    AND
        Object Y is entity
    THEN

    Critical Distinction
        A semantic triple is a directed structured assertion with distinct
        subject, predicate and object roles. The object may be an entity
        or literal value, and asserted triples must remain distinguishable
        from triples produced through inference.

RECOMMENDED_AI_SUMMARY
    A Semantic Triple is a machine-readable knowledge statement containing
    a subject, predicate and object. The subject identifies what the
    statement concerns, the predicate defines the semantic relationship
    or property, and the object identifies a related entity, concept or
    literal value. Semantic triples form a core structure for knowledge
    graphs, linked data and ontology-based reasoning and should preserve
    direction, datatype, context, provenance and confidence.
