Elamur Groupantsmova-elephant-animal
The groupant beside tools/elephant/src/animal.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 | Forward approximant |
| Ast | partial | syntax.json |
| Composition | partial | Composition |
| Cost | partial | Cost |
| Descriptant | present | Descriptant |
| Invariant | partial | Invariant |
| Tests | finite evidence | Tests |
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.
| relation | type | label | where |
|---|---|---|---|
| Behavior complement | behavior complement | partial source derived model | Behavior complement |
| Reverse reconstruction | reverse reconstruction | partial source derived model | Reverse reconstruction |
Model text
Descriptant
The Elephant as one of Mova's animals: its configuration (store, work folder, model, passes, policy, papers), its hands for the deputy (status, proposals observe; tamp, refresh act by a request file) and its English. Source: tools/elephant/src/animal.rs.
Forward approximant
answer: ask::read on the current view; NotMine -> Deputy::run_with with the elephant handler; journal english.jsonl. Hands: status -> Store::status + view -> say_status; proposals -> counts of proposals.jsonl; tamp/refresh -> WORK/requests/<op>.json.
Invariant
The English service never writes the store; acting operations cannot be declared observing (check_capabilities); the example configurations hold no machine paths.
Cost
One parse per prompt plus the deputy's; status opens the store and the view.
Composition
Parent: elephant. Uses ask, store, mova_octopus and nautilus::animal::report.
Behavior complement
No store writes, no consultant calls, no graph changes from English. Evidence status: source-derived model with finite checks, not a proof.
Reverse reconstruction
english.jsonl, the deputy's ledger and the request files recover who asked what and what was requested.
Tests
Checks
animal::tests (example configurations, status English); English tests: status, proposals, tamp, refresh planned; negation, delete and a negated question refused; refusals request nothing. These are finite fixtures and measurements; not a proof.
