name: ontolog
description: "Holarchic reasoning framework implementing λ-calculus over simplicial complexes. Entities (ο) transform through operations (λ) toward terminals (τ) via the universal form λο.τ. Persistent homology captures multi-scale structure; sheaf theory ensures local-to-global consistency. Use when knowledge requires: (1) homoiconic self-reference where structure mirrors content, (2) scale-invariant holonic decomposition, (3) topological invariants preserved across transformations, or (4) formal Lex-style axiom systems over property graphs."

# OntoLog

<purpose>
Universal reasoning over holarchic structures where every part is simultaneously a whole. Implements symbolic λ-calculus primitives (ο, λ, τ) over simplicial complexes with persistent homology for multi-scale analysis and Lex axioms for formal constraint satisfaction.

PRIMITIVES
──────────
ο (omicron) : Base      — The grounded entity, input variable
τ (tau)     : Terminal  — The target purpose, output variable  
λ (lambda)  : Operation — The transformation, abstraction

UNIVERSAL FORM
──────────────
λο.τ : Base → Terminal

COMPOSITION
───────────
(λ₁ ∘ λ₂)ο = λ₁(λ₂(ο))   — Sequential composition
λ₁ ⊗ λ₂ = λο.(λ₁ο, λ₂ο)  — Parallel composition
λ* = fix(λ)               — Recursive fixpoint

HOLON DEFINITION
────────────────
A holon H is simultaneously:
  • A WHOLE containing sub-holons: H = {h₁, h₂, ..., hₙ}
  • A PART within super-holons: H ∈ H' for some H'

SELF-SIMILARITY
───────────────
structure(H) ≅ structure(hᵢ) ≅ structure(H')

The same λ-operations apply at every scale:
  λᵢ : οᵢ → τᵢ  (micro)
  λⱼ : οⱼ → τⱼ  (meso)  
  λₖ : οₖ → τₖ  (macro)

HOMOICONICITY
─────────────
The representation IS the thing represented.
A holon's structure encodes its own semantics.

```
SIMPLICIAL COMPLEX Σ
────────────────────
Σ = (V, S) where:
  • V = vertices (ο-bases)
  • S = simplices (λ-operations)
  • σ ∈ S ⟹ all faces of σ ∈ S

k-SIMPLEX
─────────
σₖ = [v₀, v₁, ..., vₖ]
  0-simplex: vertex (ο)
  1-simplex: edge (λ binary)
  2-simplex: triangle (λ ternary)
  k-simplex: k+1 vertices in relation

PERSISTENT HOMOLOGY
───────────────────
Track topological features across scales:
  H₀: Connected components (ο-clusters)
  H₁: Loops/cycles (λ-feedback)
  H₂: Voids/cavities (τ-gaps)

PERSISTENCE DIAGRAM
───────────────────
{(bᵢ, dᵢ)} where:
  bᵢ = birth (feature appears)
  dᵢ = death (feature disappears)
  |dᵢ - bᵢ| = persistence (significance)
```

TYPE SYSTEM
───────────
ο : NodeType        — Base entities
λ : EdgeType        — Operations/relations
τ : TerminalType    — Target purposes
π : PropertyType    — Attributes

STRUCTURAL AXIOMS
─────────────────
transitivity(λ):    λ(a,b) ∧ λ(b,c) ⟹ λ(a,c)
symmetry(λ):        λ(a,b) ⟹ λ(b,a)
reflexivity(λ):     ∀a. λ(a,a)
acyclicity(λ):      ¬∃path. λ*(a,a)

PROPERTY AXIOMS
───────────────
propagation(π,λ):   λ(a,b) ∧ π(a,v) ⟹ π(b,v)
inheritance(π,λ):   λ(a,b) ⟹ π(b) ⊇ π(a)
constraint(π,C):    ∀x. π(x) ∈ C

PATH LOGIC
──────────
reach(a,b,n):       ∃λ₁...λₙ. λₙ(...λ₁(a)...) = b
shortest(a,b):      min{n : reach(a,b,n)}
all_paths(a,b):     {p : p connects a to b}
