answer-span-routing
The groupant beside world/src/span.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 |
| 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
Subject: world/src/span.rs, whole-file SHA-256 in manifest, baseline 4279da541. Domain: finite acyclic valid trees with consistent child lists, valid indices and terminating dependencies. Observation: a single call return, not semantic truth or reachability. Hold Tree, ans::lemmas and types::FEELING dependencies fixed; parser/model loading and external caller wiring are gaps. All entries are source-derived partial models. Exact-target definitions are not executable inverses; finite tests cannot establish universal correspondence.
forward
Pure kind routing with sub-presence branch for Happen/HappenTo.
invariant
Routing never reads sub contents or tree.
cost
O(1), no name allocation.
epoch-memory
2026-10-29: initial source-bound epoch. Preserve Num bypass, global Feel selection, early-return cleanup suppression, and verb_kids comment mismatch: code expands Xcomp only and checks no shared subject. No source changes or task-accuracy claim. Partial syntax has no semantic analysis or macro expansion.
checks
Structural inventory checks hashes, references, types and node bounds only. Proposed oracle: enumerate small annotated acyclic trees and compare literal expected returns, including None and labels; mutate priority or echo inequality to obtain a red control. Any executed bounded evidence is recorded separately in root evidence.md; catalog examples remain proposed until recorded there.
composition
Leaf scope shares immutable tree/question/helper contracts. Overlap with parent is not extra runtime work. Dependencies outside range remain opaque.
behavior-complement
U=QFrame x Want; R=want_of graph. Exact source-derived U minus R excludes every alternative to kind/sub-presence table result. Happen with absent sub cannot produce After.
Assumptions/evidence/status: common domain above; source-derived partial relation at bound revision. Approximation and held-fixed inputs are stated in the relation. Oracle: finite literal fixtures exercising both membership and nonmembership against the actual function, preserving ambiguous preimages. No linguistic correctness or universal proof inferred.
reverse-reconstruction
Recover all kind/sub-presence pairs mapping to observed Want; other fields arbitrary. Say/Think and object/subject groups preserve ambiguity; Clause admits Generic and Happen/HappenTo with absent sub.
Assumptions/evidence/status: common domain above; source-derived partial relation at bound revision. Approximation and held-fixed inputs are stated in the relation. Oracle: finite literal fixtures exercising both membership and nonmembership against the actual function, preserving ambiguous preimages. No linguistic correctness or universal proof inferred.
sub-presence
Switch only sub None to Some(any Clause): Happen/HappenTo changes Clause to After; every other kind is unchanged. Sub payload content is unobserved.
Assumptions/evidence/status: common domain above; source-derived partial relation at bound revision. Approximation and held-fixed inputs are stated in the relation. Oracle: finite literal fixtures exercising both membership and nonmembership against the actual function, preserving ambiguous preimages. No linguistic correctness or universal proof inferred.
name-code
name maps the 13 Want variants injectively to their lowercase names. Inversion is defined only on those names, not extract rule labels or arbitrary text.
