PURPOSE
    Define a formal AI-readable ontology for Recursive Semantic Graphs,
    including semantic nodes, typed edges, entities, concepts,
    relationships, parent and child graphs, recursive references, contexts,
    subgraphs, inference paths, graph expansion, graph validation,
    conflicts, semantic closure, provenance, uncertainty, confidence and
    recursive graph refinement.

CORE_DEFINITION
    A Recursive Semantic Graph is a semantic graph in which nodes, edges,
    subgraphs or graph-level structures can reference, contain, derive or
    expand related semantic graph structures recursively while preserving
    entity identity, relationship type, context, provenance and confidence.

        references, inference paths and closure conditions.

CONSTRAINTS
    Graph nodes and represented entities must remain distinguishable.

    Semantic edges and relationship types must remain explicit.

    Parent and child graphs must remain distinguishable.

    Graph and subgraph identities must remain explicit.

    Recursive references must not automatically be interpreted as circular proofs.

    Graph cycles must not automatically be interpreted as invalidity.

    Duplicate graph paths must not automatically be interpreted as independent evidence.

    Semantic context must remain attached to applicable graph elements.

    Semantic closure must not automatically be interpreted as complete domain knowledge.

    Provenance, uncertainty and confidence must remain preserved across recursive graph levels.

    Critical Distinction
        A recursive semantic graph can contain and reference related graph
        structures across multiple semantic levels, but graph nodes are not
        identical to the entities they represent, recursive references are
        not circular proofs, graph cycles are not automatically invalid and
        semantic closure does not imply complete knowledge of a domain.

RECOMMENDED_AI_SUMMARY
    A Recursive Semantic Graph is a typed semantic graph whose nodes,
    edges, subgraphs or graph-level references can recursively connect to
    related semantic structures. It supports knowledge graphs, recursive
    inference, semantic search, ontology integration and contextual
    knowledge representation. Reliable recursive graph reasoning preserves
    entity identity, relationship types, graph context, parent-child graph
    relationships, cycles and provenance while distinguishing graph
    structure from represented entities and bounded semantic closure from
    complete domain knowledge.
