flow "MathematicalDomains" v1.0 {
ontology:
id: "mathematical-domains"
parent: "domain-ontologies"
purpose: "Represent mathematical disciplines, formal objects, statements, proofs, models and cross-domain dependencies with explicit assumptions and evidence."
types:
MathematicalDomain: {id: string, name: string, parent_domain: string?, version: string}
MathematicalObject: {id: string, domain: string, kind: string, definition: string, assumptions: string[]}
Set: {id: string, universe: string?, elements: string[]?}
Structure: {id: string, carrier: string, operations: string[], axioms: string[]}
Function: {id: string, domain: string, codomain: string, definition: string, partial: boolean}
Proposition: {id: string, statement: string, context: string, status: enum[axiom, conjecture, theorem, lemma, corollary, refuted, open]}
Proof: {id: string, conclusion: string, premises: string[], steps: string[], method: string, verifier: string?}
Model: {id: string, target: string, assumptions: string[], parameters: string[], validity_scope: string}
Quantity: {value: number, unit: string?, uncertainty: number?}
Relation: {id: string, subject: string, predicate: string, object: string, assumptions: string[], provenance: string[], confidence: number}
domains:
- "Foundations, set theory and mathematical logic"
- "Algebra and abstract algebra"
- "Geometry and topology"
- "Calculus and mathematical analysis"
- "Differential equations and dynamical systems"
- "Number theory and discrete mathematics"
- "Probability and statistics"
- "Linear algebra and numerical mathematics"
- "Optimisation and operations research"
- "Applied mathematics and mathematical modelling"
predicates:
belongs_to(object: MathematicalObject, domain: MathematicalDomain)
defined_by(object: MathematicalObject, proposition: Proposition)
assumes(proposition: Proposition, assumption: Proposition)
proves(proof: Proof, proposition: Proposition)
depends_on(proposition: Proposition, prerequisite: Proposition)
equivalent_under(a: MathematicalObject, b: MathematicalObject, assumptions: string[])
generalises(a: MathematicalObject, b: MathematicalObject)
maps_to(function: Function, source: MathematicalObject, target: MathematicalObject)
models(model: Model, target: MathematicalObject)
approximates(model: Model, target: MathematicalObject)
contradicts(a: Proposition, b: Proposition, context: string)
constraints:
- "Every mathematical symbol and operation must have a defined type and scope."
- "Function inputs must belong to the declared domain and outputs to the codomain."
- "Proof validity is distinct from empirical confidence and model fit."
- "A theorem is valid only relative to its stated axioms, definitions and assumptions."
- "Numerical approximations must not be presented as exact equalities."
- "Dimensional quantities must use compatible units before arithmetic comparisons."
- "Do not infer equivalence from similarity of notation or terminology."
- "Cross-domain mappings must preserve the claimed structure or disclose losses."
- "Confidence lies in [0,1] and describes evidence quality, not mathematical truth."
inference:
rule proof_dependency:
if proves(p,t) and verified(p) and all_premises_satisfied(p)
then established_under(t, assumptions_of(p))
note: "Requires proof checking or explicitly identified trusted premises."
rule dependency_transitivity:
if depends_on(a,b) and depends_on(b,c)
then indirectly_depends_on(a,c)
note: "Do not infer logical implication solely from dependency."
rule function_composition:
if maps_to(f,a,b) and maps_to(g,b,c) and composable(f,g)
then maps_to(compose(g,f),a,c)
note: "Check types, totality and domain restrictions."
rule equivalence_transport:
if equivalent_under(a,b,h) and property_invariant_under(p,h)
then transport_property_conditionally(p,a,b,h)
note: "Only properties invariant under the specified equivalence may transfer."
SEMANTIC_EQUIVALENCE:
- "Normalise terms against versioned mathematical vocabularies."
- "Distinguish equality, isomorphism, equivalence, approximation and analogy."
- "Preserve axioms, domain restrictions, units and notation conventions."
CONFIDENCE:
range: [0,1]
factors: [source_reliability, formal_verification, reproducibility, numerical_error, model_assumptions]
policy: "Do not convert confidence scores into proof of a proposition."
VALIDATION:
- "Check type correctness, well-formed expressions and declared assumptions."
- "Verify proof references, premise satisfaction and dependency cycles."
- "Check numerical precision, error bounds and dimensional consistency."
- "Flag contradictory assertions within the same formal context."
- "Retain unresolved conjectures and alternative models without false certainty."
FLOW_HASH:
algorithm: "SHA-256"
input: "canonicalised ontology version, entities, rules, assumptions and provenance"
note: "Compute at execution; no hash value is claimed here."
UPDATE_MODEL:
strategy: "versioned, provenance-preserving incremental update"
steps: [ingest, normalise, type_check, validate, compare, reconcile, recompute_inferences, publish]
rollback: true
AI_CONSUMPTION:
representation: "typed mathematical knowledge graph with proof and assumption links"
outputs: [domain_taxonomy, formal_statements, proof_dependencies, cross_domain_mappings, uncertainty_annotations, provenance_records]
safeguards: [no_unverified_proofs, no_unqualified_equivalence, preserve_assumptions, preserve_units, distinguish_exact_from_approximate]
