## Canonical Domain Definitions



All 14 domains have been formally defined with:

- **Canonical type signature** (e.g., `surface_instruction(source_lang, verb, args)`)

- **Constraints** (structural requirements, validation rules)

- **Invariants** (semantic properties preserved through transformations)



### Domains Defined



1. **SurfaceInstruction** — User-facing instructions (EmojiCode, HolyC, Python, JavaScript, Ada)

2. **CanonicalInstruction** — Normalized CBOR-encoded instruction

3. **LogicTerm** — Prolog/Datalog term for reasoning

4. **AuthorizedLogicDecision** — Logic result with Prolog authorization proof

5. **RuntimeCommand** — Executable command (HolyC, Rust, Erlang, LLVM, Ada)

6. **ProofObligation** — Formal proof goal (Lean 4, Agda)

7. **VerifierInvocation** — Verifier call with result

8. **ExecutionEvent** — Runtime state transition

9. **LogicEventFact** — Prolog fact encoding execution

10. **ReceiptRecord** — WORM-sealed execution proof

11. **NotebookCellRecord** — Jupyter cell with sealed outputs

12. **LogicCellFact** — Prolog fact encoding notebook cell

13. **RuntimeSpecificValue** — Language-specific values (i32, f64, string, array, capability)

14. **CanonicalValue** — Language-neutral canonical representation

## Authority Model



### Trust Hierarchy



```

none (0) < low (1) < medium (2) < high (3) < sovereign (4)

```



### Agent Classes



| Agent | Trust | Capabilities | Notes |

|-------|-------|---|---|

| sentinel | sovereign | all | Constitutional enforcer |

| oracle | high | read, analyze | Read-only by constitution |

| builder | high | read, write, execute, generate, seal | Creates artifacts |

| archivist | high | read, analyze, index, provenance | Traces lineage |

| berserker | medium | read, analyze, inject | Adversarial testing |



### Shift Authorization Matrix



| Shift | Capability | Min Trust | Allowed Agents |

|-------|---|---|---|

| M1 | read, write | low | all |

| M2 | read, analyze | medium | all except none/low |

| M3 | execute | high | sentinel, builder |

| M4 | verify | high | sentinel, builder |

| M5 | read, analyze | medium | all except none/low |

| M6 | seal | high | sentinel, builder |

| M7 | read, analyze | medium | all except none/low |

| M8 | read, write | low | all |



### Absolute Prohibition



Isomorphic Shift **MUST NOT**:

- Increase permissions (read-only → read-write)

- Change proof verification status (failed → passed)

- Modify release status (development → production)

- Escalate agent trust level

- Remove revocations



**Enforcement**: prevent_permission_escalation/3 rule in shift_authorization.pl



---



## Transaction Model



### State Machine



```

┌─────────────┐

│   parsed    │ ← Input validated, syntax checked

└──────┬──────┘

       │

┌──────▼──────────┐

│   validated     │ ← Schema validated, structure checked

└──────┬──────────┘

       │

┌──────▼────────────────┐

│   authorized          │ ← Prolog query successful

└──────┬─────────────┬──────────────┐

       │             │              │

       │         [DENIED]   ← rejected

       │

┌──────▼────────────────┐

│   transformed         │ ← Adapter executed successfully

└──────┬─────────────┬──────────────┐

       │             │              │

       │         [ERROR]   ← failed

       │

┌──────▼────────────────────────┐

│   invariants_checked          │ ← All invariants verified

└──────┬─────────────────────┬──────────────┐

       │                     │              │

       │               [VIOLATED]  ← rejected

       │

┌──────▼────────────────┐

│   committed           │ ← Transaction written (if applicable)

└──────┬──────────────┘

       │

┌──────▼────────────────┐

│   receipted           │ ← WORM-sealed receipt generated

└──────┬──────────────┘

       │

    [DONE]

```



### Atomicity Guarantees



- All-or-nothing: Commit entire transaction or nothing

- Idempotency: Same (transaction_id, canonical_input) returns same result

- Failure Recovery: Automatic rollback on error



---



## Prolog Integration



### Source-of-Truth Authority



All shifts, domains, schemas, authorizations, and permissions are:

1. **Defined as Prolog facts** (not duplicated elsewhere)

2. **Queryable through Prolog rules** (authorization, validity, release)

3. **Immutable in production** (changes require code review)

4. **Auditable** (query traces logged)



### Prohibited



Isomorphic Shift **MUST NOT** maintain independent copies of:

- Capabilities or revocations (authority comes from Prolog)

- Proof verification status (source: Lean 4/Agda + Prolog cache)

- Release status (source: shift_release.pl gates)

- Authorization decisions (source: shift_authorization.pl rules)

- Receipts (source: WORM ledger, indexed by Prolog)



### Integration Flow



```

User Input (EmojiCode, Python, etc.)

    ↓

M1: Parse → CanonicalInstruction (via Rust adapter)

    ↓

M2: Canonical → LogicTerm (via Rust adapter)

    ↓

Query Prolog: can_perform_shift(agent, M2, forward)?

    ├─→ [NO] → reject (authorization_denied)

    └─→ [YES] → continue

    ↓

M3: Decision → RuntimeCommand (via Rust adapter)

    ↓

Query Prolog: shift_preserves_invariant(M3, semantics_preservation, verified)?

    ├─→ [NO] → reject (semantic_mismatch)

    └─→ [YES] → continue

    ↓

Execute RuntimeCommand

    ↓

M5: ExecutionEvent → LogicEventFact (via Rust adapter)

    ↓

Assert fact to Prolog (worm_seal immutable)

    ↓

M6: ExecutionEvent → ReceiptRecord (via Rust adapter)

    ↓

Append to WORM ledger (immutable)

```
