mova-whale-world-config
The groupant beside tools/whale-world/src/config.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.md |
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.
| id | 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 configuration mova-whale-world-v1: dossier and world roots, the optional library block of topic-corpus, corpora root, earlier-description site roots and files, learner state roots, Mova round choice, the public-originals switch and cache/context limits; unknown fields refused, every path absolute. Source: tools/whale-world/src/config.rs.
Forward approximant
bytes -> serde (deny_unknown_fields) -> validate(schema, absolute paths, plain site file names, non-zero caches, context_bytes >= 1000) -> Config.
Invariant
A loaded Config has the right schema and only absolute paths; public_originals defaults to false.
Cost
Linear in the file size.
Composition
Parent: whale-world; read by dossier, import, world and main.
behavior_complement
Does not check that paths exist or are readable, and holds no deployment values (they live in a deployment's own file). Evidence status: source-derived model with finite checks, not a proof.
reverse_reconstruction
The Config re-serializes to an equivalent file (defaults filled in); no unique inverse of defaults.
tests.md
cargo test --manifest-path tools/whale-world/Cargo.toml --offline with WORLD_EN_MODEL=$MOVA_DATA/download/0/0.4/en.bin (9 unit tests: dossier append-only/select/changed files, licence negative controls, citation markers, importers incl. a topic corpus with a Sea Spider page and a consultant draft, entity extraction, LRU, two byte-identical world builds with cited queries, incremental epochs with old worlds intact and a changed file refused; 2026-11-05). Live 2026-11-05 on six papers: two independent imports and builds byte-identical.
These are finite fixtures and live samples; not a proof.
