coreason-manifest (The Knowledge Plane)

The definitive Knowledge Plane and universal ontology of the CoReason ecosystem.

coreason-manifest is a State-of-the-Art (SOTA) 2026+ neurosymbolic architecture component acting as the Universal Unified Ontology. It is a strictly bounded, AI-native, pure structural data library that defines the mathematical, causal, and spatial boundaries of the reasoning mesh.

"This package is the definitive source of truth. If it isn't in the manifest, it doesn't exist. If it violates the manifest, it doesn't run."

Overview

CoReason Manifest (coreason_manifest) is a 2026+ State-of-the-Art Neurosymbolic architecture component acting as the Universal Unified Ontology for the CoReason AI swarm ecosystem.

This is NOT a standard human-centric software package. It is a strictly bounded, AI-native, pure structural data library. It maintains the foundational mathematical, causal, and spatial definitions required to orchestrate a decentralized, zero-trust swarm of Large Language Models and mechanistic solvers.

Core Architectural Directives

Contributors (both human and AI) are strictly bound to the Shared Kernel Protocol. Violating these directives will result in immediate rejection by the CI/CD architectural gates.

1. Passive by Design (No Execution)

This repository is a completely Hollow Data Plane.

• It is distributed exclusively as an inert data library (Wheel).
• Importing any module MUST NOT trigger runtime side effects (no network sockets, no file writing, no global loggers, no runtime loops).
• Dependencies are strictly limited to pure data parsers and structural utilities (pydantic, networkx, jsonpatch, numpy, canonicaljson, nh3).

2. The "God Context" Monolith Directive

We intentionally ignore legacy "Separation of Concerns" (SoC) anti-patterns.

• NEVER federate or split src/coreason_manifest/spec/ontology.py. * The entire universe of the ecosystem's state, orchestration, memory, and compute lives within this single artifact. This is a mathematical requirement to guarantee deterministic, zero-shot latent alignment across the swarm.

3. The Anti-CRUD Mandate & Strict Lexical Architecture

Legacy CRUD terminology flattens softmax distributions and introduces semantic drift.

• Banned Terms: Create, Read, Update, Delete, Remove, Group, List, User, Data, Memory, Link.
• Required Paradigm: State transitions are mapped using Judea Pearl’s Structural Causal Models (e.g., Transmutation, DefeasibleCascade, StateMutationIntent).
• Categorical Suffixing: Every schema ends in a strict topological contract:
  • ...Event / ...Receipt: Cryptographically frozen historical facts (Append-only).
  • ...Intent / ...Task: Authorized kinetic execution triggers.
  • ...Policy / ...Contract / ...SLA: Rigid mathematical boundaries.
  • ...State / ...Snapshot / ...Manifest / ...Profile: Ephemeral or declarative N-dimensional coordinates.

4. Cryptographic Determinism

All models subclass CoreasonBaseState, enforcing frozen=True immutability. Arrays and sets are mathematically sorted during instantiation to guarantee deterministic canonical hashing (RFC 8785) across varying distributed environments.

Cross-Language Ecosystem Integration (Polyglot Bindings)

Because coreason-manifest is the definitive "God Context" for the swarm, it strictly publishes pure, stateless data schema bindings to downstream language ecosystems:

• TypeScript (npm): Auto-generated TS bounds published to @coreason/coreason-manifest.
• Rust (crates.io): Strict Struct bindings generated via cargo-typify and published to coreason-manifest.
• Python (PyPI): The core declarative pydantic models distributed natively as coreason_manifest.

These downstream bindings are mathematically proven to be stateless Anemic Domain Models, guaranteeing zero active logic bleed across network boundaries.

Military-Grade Supply Chain Security

To ensure absolute institutional trust, the repository is aggressively hardened against supply-chain attacks:

• Passive Execution Quarantine: The code functions strictly as a pure data architecture (Hollow Data Plane), possessing zero active execution bounds.
• OS-Level Egress Filtering: Continuous Integration pipelines are guarded dynamically by step-security/harden-runner, instantly blocking unauthorized network socket allocations initiated by transient dependencies.
• Continuous Threat Verification: Every branch is aggressively audited by Bandit, TruffleHog (for hardcoded secrets), and ClamAV (for filesystem virus scanning).
• Zero-Trust Release Pipelines: All artifacts are OIDC strictly authenticated, cryptographic signed via Sigstore, and mapped with SLSA Level 3 guarantees + SPDX SBOMs.

Installation

This project requires Python 3.14+ and uses uv as the standard package manager.

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/CoReason-AI/coreason_manifest.git
cd coreason_manifest

# Install dependencies using uv
uv sync --all-extras --dev

Mandatory Local Verification Workflow

To ensure the Shared Kernel remains mathematically sound, all commits must pass a stringent local evaluation before a Pull Request is opened. The CI/CD pipeline enforces a strict 95% test coverage floor.

1. Formatting and Linting (Strict Ruff ruleset)

uv run ruff format .
uv run ruff check . --fix

2. Strict Type Checking

uv run mypy src/ tests/

3. Behavioral and Contract Testing

uv run pytest

4. Dependency Auditing

uv run deptry src/
