prag-rules-codec
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.

Parts
Model text
forward
Feat lookup uses 46 names. Atom splits at first colon, retaining subsequent colons. Action lookup searches canonical frame/pronoun/token codes. parse_rules skips the first line, admits rows with >=4 tab fields and known action/all nonempty ampersand atoms, retains status verbatim, takes optional reason column7. Empty atom segments vanish.
invariant
Codes/names are unique. Unknown feature/action rejects row; unknown status remains parsable. Empty conjunction is valid. say() is prose and no TSV escaping or byte-preserving serializer exists.
cost
O(B+L*C) for B bytes,L rows,constant action catalog C; feature lookup scans 46 names. Space is retained atoms/strings; rendering linear in output bytes.
behavior-complement
U=(text,candidate rule sequence). Including an unknown-action row, retaining first-line data, truncating value x:y to x, or reordering admitted records is excluded. Unknown status alone does not exclude a parsed row.
reverse-reconstruction
Compatible file antecedents include arbitrary headers, skipped rows, ignored columns and empty atom separators. Empty, & and && yield the same empty conjunction. Canonical action code has unique recovery in its finite catalog; whole file bytes do not.
specialization
All feature and action names round-trip; exact reason and extra-colon value tested. Parsing and status selection are separate nested stages.
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.
