relmath-rs 0.7.0

//! Deterministic temporal interval and valid-time foundations.
//!
//! This first G5 slice introduces half-open intervals `[start, end)` over
//! endpoint domains with total ordering. Intervals use deterministic
//! lexicographic `(start, end)` ordering when stored in ordered collections,
//! which makes later coalescing behavior easy to audit.
//!
//! Half-open semantics mean:
//!
//! - `start` is included;
//! - `end` is excluded;
//! - directly adjacent intervals such as `[1, 3)` and `[3, 5)` do not
//!   overlap, but they can be coalesced;
//! - invalid intervals with `start >= end` are rejected explicitly.
//!
//! On top of the interval substrate, this module also provides a first
//! deterministic valid-time relation foundation:
//!
//! - `ValidTimeSupport<T>` stores the canonical interval support for one fact;
//! - `ValidTimeRelation<F, T>` maps exact facts to deterministic valid-time
//!   support and materializes exact support back into the published unary,
//!   binary, and n-ary relation surface.
//! - `ValidTimeRelation::snapshot_at` and `ValidTimeRelation::restrict_to`
//!   provide the first narrow temporal operations over stored facts.
//! - relation-level exact support materialization for valid-time surfaces is
//!   also available generically through [`crate::ExactSupport`].
//!
//! This module remains intentionally narrower than a full temporal algebra.
//! Temporal joins, temporal composition, transaction time, and bitemporal APIs
//! are later work.
