PURPOSE:
To provide a machine-readable, recursively executable semantic and
reasoning specification for polynomials, polynomial expressions,
coefficients, variables, monomials, degree, roots, factors,
factorisation, polynomial arithmetic, division, remainder,
identities, derivatives, resultants and structural polynomial
reasoning.

AI INTERPRETATION NOTE:
Execute the following specification as formal semantic and reasoning
rules. Preserve coefficient domains, variable sets, degree conditions,
leading terms, multiplicities, factor relationships, division
preconditions and algebraic equivalence.
