Data Model

Data model for the typed-logic framework.

This module defines the core classes and structures used to represent logical constructs such as sentences, terms, predicates, and theories. It is based on the Common Logic Interchange Format (CLIF) and the Common Logic Standard (CL), with additions to make working with simple type systems easier.

Logical axioms are called sentences which organized into theories., which can be loaded into a solver.

While one of the goals of typed-logic is to be able to write logic intuitively in Python, this data model is independent of the mapping from the Python language to the logic language; it can be used independently of the python syntax.

Here is an example:

    >>> from typedlogic import Term, Forall, Implies
    >>> x = Variable('x')
    >>> y = Variable('y')
    >>> pdef = PredicateDefinition(predicate='FriendOf',
    ...                          arguments={'x': 'str', 'y': 'str'}),
    >>> theory = Theory(
    ...     name="My theory",
    ...     predicate_definitions=[pdef],
    ... )
    >>> s = Forall([x, y],
    ...            Implies(Term('friend_of', x, y),
    ...                    Term('friend_of', y, x)))
    >>> theory.add(s)

PredicateDefinition dataclass

Defines the name and arguments of a predicate.

>>> pdef = PredicateDefinition(predicate='FriendOf',
...                            arguments={'x': 'str', 'y': 'str'})

The arguments are mappings between variable names and types. You can use either base types (e.g. 'str', 'int', 'float') or custom types.

Custom types should be defined in the theory's type_definitions attribute.

>>> pdef = PredicateDefinition(predicate='FriendOf',
...                            arguments={'x': 'Person', 'y': 'Person'})
>>> theory = Theory(
...     name="My theory",
...     type_definitions={'Person': 'str'},
...     predicate_definitions=[pdef],
... )

And dataclass

Bases: BooleanSentence

A conjunction of sentences.

>>> s = And(Term('friend_of', x, y), Term('friend_of', y, x))

You can also use syntactic sugar:

>>> s = Term('friend_of', x, y) & Term('friend_of', y, x)

Note however that precedence rules for & are different from and.

In the context of a pylog program, you can also use and:

assert FriendOf(x, y) & FriendOf(y, x)
