From ca0b47371f1af7dd88fb20ed8b322d03846baa36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sat, 31 Jan 2026 21:32:36 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] fix: implement value resolution from equality assumptions (#18) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit When ce.assume(['Equal', symbol, value]) is called, the symbol now correctly evaluates to the assumed value. Previously, the symbol would remain unevaluated even after the assumption was made. Changes: - Fixed assumeEquality to set the symbol value when it already has a definition (which happens when accessed via .unknowns) - Updated BoxedSymbol.N() to check the evaluation context value for non-constant symbols, enabling correct comparison evaluation Examples that now work: - ce.box('one').evaluate().json → 1 (was: "one") - ce.box(['Equal', 'one', 1]).evaluate() → True (was: unchanged) - ce.box(['Equal', 'one', 0]).evaluate() → False https://claude.ai/code/session_01Xx26gPU9ThyiypRqdLcmZQ --- CHANGELOG.md | 18 ++++++++ requirements/DONE.md | 42 +++++++++++++++++++ requirements/TODO.md | 41 +----------------- src/compute-engine/assume.ts | 11 +++-- .../boxed-expression/boxed-symbol.ts | 5 +++ test/compute-engine/assumptions.test.ts | 7 ++-- 6 files changed, 79 insertions(+), 45 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 2009140d..951db1d9 100755 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -1,5 +1,23 @@ ## [Unreleased] +### Improvements + +- **Value Resolution from Equality Assumptions**: When an equality assumption + is made via `ce.assume(['Equal', symbol, value])`, the symbol now correctly + evaluates to the assumed value.

}); From 92a100b2d41e4d3c7173558d218a2a9f00d0b692 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Sat, 31 Jan 2026 23:38:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 5/5] feat: implement tautology and contradiction detection for assumptions (#20) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ce.assume() now returns 'tautology' for redundant assumptions that are already implied by existing assumptions, and 'contradiction' for assumptions that conflict with existing ones. Examples: - ce.assume(['Greater', 'x', 0]) when x > 4 exists returns 'tautology' - ce.assume(['Less', 'x', 0]) when x > 4 exists returns 'contradiction' - ce.assume(['Equal', 'one', 1]) repeated returns 'tautology' - ce.assume(['Less', 'one', 0]) when one=1 exists returns 'contradiction' Implementation: - Added bounds checking logic in assumeInequality() that extracts the symbol from the inequality and checks against existing bounds - Handles canonical form normalization (Greater(x,k) → Less(k,x)) - Correctly determines "effective" relationship based on operator and which operand contains the symbol https://claude.ai/code/session_01Xx26gPU9ThyiypRqdLcmZQ --- CHANGELOG.md | 22 +++++ requirements/DONE.md | 50 ++++++++++ requirements/TODO.md | 44 +-------- src/compute-engine/assume.ts | 121 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ test/compute-engine/assumptions.test.ts | 4 +- 5 files changed, 197 insertions(+), 44 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index dd284bb1..eb47f7fd 100755 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -46,6 +46,28 @@ ce.box('one').type.toString(); // → 'integer' (was: 'unknown') ``` +- **Tautology and Contradiction Detection**: `ce.assume()` now returns + `'tautology'` for redundant assumptions that are already implied by existing + assumptions, and `'contradiction'` for assumptions that conflict with + existing ones. + + ```javascript + ce.assume(ce.box(['Greater', 'x', 4])); + + // Redundant assumption (x > 4 implies x > 0) + ce.assume(ce.box(['Greater', 'x', 0])); // → 'tautology' (was: 'ok') + + // Conflicting assumption (x > 4 contradicts x < 0) + ce.assume(ce.box(['Less', 'x', 0])); // → 'contradiction' + + // Same assumption repeated + ce.assume(ce.box(['Equal', 'one', 1])); + ce.assume(ce.box(['Equal', 'one', 1])); // → 'tautology' + + // Conflicting equality + ce.assume(ce.box(['Less', 'one', 0])); // → 'contradiction' + ``` + ### Bug Fixes - **forget() Now Clears Assumed Values**: Fixed an issue where `ce.forget()` did not diff --git a/requirements/DONE.md b/requirements/DONE.md index 23bea0ce..e8969a0b 100644 --- a/requirements/DONE.md +++ b/requirements/DONE.md @@ -1233,3 +1233,53 @@ ce.box('p').type.toString(); // → 'integer' **Tests enabled:** - `test/compute-engine/assumptions.test.ts` - Enabled "TYPE INFERENCE FROM ASSUMPTIONS" describe block (6 tests) + +--- + +### 20.
