Symbolic

Trait Symbolic 

Source
pub trait Symbolic: Identifiable {
    type Repr;

    // Required method
    fn symbol(&self) -> &Self::Repr;
}
Expand description

Represents a symbolic, logical, or linguistic identity.

This trait allows integration of abstract knowledge representations into a unified context system—such as:

  • Atoms ("A")
  • Named terms (goal(X))
  • Logical constructs (∀x.P(x) → Q(x))

The Repr type is intentionally generic to support structured representations: enums, trees, strings, or AST nodes.

§Example

use deep_causality::{Identifiable, Symbolic};

struct RuleNode { id: u64, term: String }

impl Identifiable for RuleNode {fn id(&self) -> u64 {
        self.id
    }}

impl Symbolic for RuleNode {
    type Repr = String;
    fn symbol(&self) -> &Self::Repr { &self.term }
}

Required Associated Types§

Source

type Repr

The representation type used to encode the symbolic value.

Required Methods§

Source

fn symbol(&self) -> &Self::Repr

Returns a reference to the symbolic representation.

Dyn Compatibility§

This trait is dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
