## 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)
```
