pr4xis — Axiomatic Intelligence

Substrate crate for the pr4xis runtime. Defines the core traits that every domain ontology composes against:

  • [category::Arrow] — directed structure between concepts, carrying a relation-kind tag and per-instance provenance. Grounded in Mac Lane (1971) Categories for the Working Mathematician Ch. I §1 and Awodey (2010) Category Theory 2nd ed.
  • [category::Concept] — closed-world enum of named objects in a category. Grounded in Guarino (2009) What is an Ontology?
  • [logic::Axiom] — verifiable claim returning a typed [logic::proof::Verdict] (Ok = Proof witness, Err = Counterexample refutation, per Martin-Löf 1984). Required companion: [logic::Axiom::citation] — every axiom traces to published literature.
  • [ontology::Ontology] — type Cat, type Qual, and fn axioms(). Structural axioms come from [ontology::reasoning::structural_axioms_for] (the catalog).

Authoring shortcut: the [ontology!] proc macro takes a declarative shape (name, source, concepts, labels, is_a: / has_a: / causes: / opposes: sugar clauses, optional inline axioms: block) and emits the full impl chain at compile time.

See docs/understand/architecture.md for the layered design and docs/learn/get-started.md for a guided walk-through.
