PURPOSE
    Define a formal AI-readable ontology for Semantic Execution, including
    semantic entities, typed relationships, semantic states, executable
    rules, transformations, conditions, constraints, actions, execution
    contexts, semantic validation, results, failures, recursive updates,
    provenance, uncertainty, confidence, closure and termination.

CORE_DEFINITION
    Semantic Execution is the process of interpreting formal semantic
    entities, relationships, states, rules and constraints as executable
    operations that transform a validated semantic state into a subsequent
    semantic state while preserving context, provenance and confidence.

    Critical Distinction
        Semantic execution transforms formal semantic states through
        executable rules, but semantic representation is not execution,
        structural rule validity does not establish real-world truth,
        executability does not grant authorisation and a semantic execution
        result is not automatically the intended real-world outcome.

RECOMMENDED_AI_SUMMARY
    Semantic Execution is the controlled execution of formal semantic
    entities, relationships, states and rules as state-transforming
    operations. It can support Flow Algebra, recursive reasoning, knowledge
    graphs, ontology processing, semantic search and agent workflows.
    Reliable semantic execution preserves typed relationships, execution
    context, constraints, permissions, state history and provenance while
    distinguishing semantic representation from execution, valid rules
    from real-world truth and executable actions from authorised actions.
