prag-rules-atoms
The groupant beside prag/src/rules.rs in the Mova repository: what the code computes, what it never does, how to go back from its outputs, its invariants, cost and checks.
Facts
Implementation material. A Mova code model describes this code at one source revision: partial models, finite checks and their stated scope. It is not a reviewed general exposition, and its labels are shown as written, never raised.
Components
| component | label | where |
|---|---|---|
| approximant | partial source model | forward |
| ast | partial | ../syntax.json |
| composition | partial source model | composition |
| cost | partial source model | cost |
| descriptant | partial source model | epoch-memory |
| invariant | partial source model | invariant |
| tests | partial source model | checks |
Obernants
The typed relations around the forward model: the behaviour complement (what the code never does), the reverse reconstruction (every input compatible with an output) and specialised views.

Model text
forward
frame_atoms projects kind, role presence, flags, links, previous kind, provenance and optional tree/lexicon fields. Pronoun atoms depend on proposed Resolve candidate. PrevAgent searches earlier frames backward; LineAgent uses frame0 for fi>0; Speaker uses nearest Say agent then before_speaker; Before uses number-compatible salience; Unresolve normalizes pron ID.
invariant
Features can have multiple values (marks/adverbs); optional absence omits atoms. Candidate action execution sees evolving state although hits use pre-rule atoms. Lexical features may acquire global caches and are outside executed fixtures.
cost
O(F log F) frame map per atoms call plus O(F+Q+T) scans and external lookup cost. Candidate previous search O(F), Before O(before length); clones cost entity bytes.
behavior-complement
For empty-verb/entity Event fixtures, candidate atom sets lacking kind:event/has-agent:no or containing has-agent:yes are excluded. With earlier alpha,beta and She at frame2, PrevAgent result alpha is excluded in favor of beta.
reverse-reconstruction
Kind/presence projections lose attrs, source and exact role identities. Events differing only in attrs share tested atoms. Same candidate ID can originate from different frames; output ID does not recover provenance.
specialization
Resolve preserves original pron surface. Same candidate ID returns no change even when other metadata differs; this existing ID-based equality is narrower than full entity equality.
composition
Codec feeds selection without reordering. Sites and action-dependent atoms share the pre-rule Read; ordered action fold sees evolving state, then deletion remaps coordinates. Selection nested in codec retains status distinctions. Exact byte scopes constrain composition; no child alone proves the parent.
checks
Ten rules::wave15_models tests, tiny supplied fixtures only; two debug and two release passes with identical named outcomes. File-root receipts.md retains hashes. Finite catalogs, nine transfer states and sixteen deletion subsets; compiled production vacancy-guard mutant fails finite_transfer_and_drop_relations.
epoch-memory
2026-10-30: first rules tree. Review predicted unchanged valid-site transitions and O(1) validation before O(Read bytes) cloning. Old invalid_direct_sites_are_no_change failed because absent Drop returned Some; seven other initial tests passed. Repair rejects absent coordinates/unaligned reads. select_rules exposes the existing production filter; no selection policy change or speedup claimed.
limitations
Partial syntax, no expanded macros or semantic AST proof. No live parser, teacher, corpus, environment mutation, override or cache acquisition in tests. Empty verbs/entities avoid lexical matching acquisition; populated entity tests use direct actions. Token creation, full lexical/ancestry/action branches, IO/cache lifetime and all multi-site interactions remain unexecuted. Public atoms/drop_frames still require valid coordinates/alignment.
