tensorlogic-ir

Engine-agnostic AST & Intermediate Representation for TensorLogic

Overview

tensorlogic-ir is the core intermediate representation layer for the TensorLogic framework. It provides a type-safe, engine-agnostic representation of logic-as-tensor computations, enabling the compilation of logical rules into tensor computation graphs.

This crate serves as the lingua franca between all TensorLogic components, providing the foundational data structures for logical expressions, type systems, domain constraints, and tensor computation graphs.

Installation

[dependencies]
tensorlogic-ir = "0.1.0-alpha.1"

Quick Start

Creating Logical Expressions

use tensorlogic_ir::{TLExpr, Term};

// Build a logical expression: ∀x. Person(x) → Mortal(x)
let person = TLExpr::pred("Person", vec![Term::var("x")]);
let mortal = TLExpr::pred("Mortal", vec![Term::var("x")]);
let rule = TLExpr::forall("x", "Entity", TLExpr::imply(person, mortal));

// Analyze expression
let free_vars = rule.free_vars();  // [] - all variables bound
assert!(rule.free_vars().is_empty());

// Validate arity
rule.validate_arity()?;

Arithmetic & Comparison Operations

// Arithmetic: score(x) * 2 + bias
let x = TLExpr::pred("score", vec![Term::var("x")]);
let doubled = TLExpr::mul(x, TLExpr::constant(2.0));
let result = TLExpr::add(doubled, TLExpr::constant(0.5));

// Comparison: temperature > 100
let temp = TLExpr::pred("temperature", vec![Term::var("t")]);
let threshold = TLExpr::constant(100.0);
let is_hot = TLExpr::gt(temp, threshold);

// Conditional: if score > 0.5 then high else low
let condition = TLExpr::gt(score, TLExpr::constant(0.5));
let result = TLExpr::if_then_else(condition, high_action, low_action);

Working with Domains

use tensorlogic_ir::{DomainInfo, DomainRegistry, DomainType};

// Use built-in domains
let registry = DomainRegistry::with_builtins();
// Available: Bool, Int, Real, Nat, Probability

// Create custom domain
let mut custom_registry = DomainRegistry::new();
custom_registry.register(
    DomainInfo::finite("Color", 3)
        .with_metadata("values", "red,green,blue")
)?;

// Validate domains in expressions
let expr = TLExpr::exists("x", "Int", TLExpr::pred("P", vec![Term::var("x")]));
expr.validate_domains(&registry)?;

// Check domain compatibility
assert!(registry.are_compatible("Int", "Int")?);
assert!(registry.can_cast("Bool", "Int")?);

Type Checking with Signatures

use tensorlogic_ir::{PredicateSignature, SignatureRegistry, TypeAnnotation};

let mut sig_registry = SignatureRegistry::new();

// Register: Parent(Person, Person) -> Bool
sig_registry.register(
    PredicateSignature::new("Parent", 2)
        .with_arg_type(TypeAnnotation::simple("Person"))
        .with_arg_type(TypeAnnotation::simple("Person"))
        .with_return_type(TypeAnnotation::simple("Bool"))
)?;

// Validate expressions
let expr = TLExpr::pred("Parent", vec![Term::var("x"), Term::var("y")]);
expr.validate_with_registry(&sig_registry)?;

Building Computation Graphs

use tensorlogic_ir::{EinsumGraph, EinsumNode, OpType};

let mut graph = EinsumGraph::new();

// Add tensors
let input_a = graph.add_tensor("input_a");
let input_b = graph.add_tensor("input_b");
let output = graph.add_tensor("output");

// Matrix multiplication: einsum("ik,kj->ij")
graph.add_node(EinsumNode {
    inputs: vec![input_a, input_b],
    op: OpType::Einsum { spec: "ik,kj->ij".to_string() },
})?;

// Apply ReLU activation
graph.add_node(EinsumNode {
    inputs: vec![output],
    op: OpType::ElemUnary { op: "relu".to_string() },
})?;

// Mark output
graph.add_output(output)?;

// Validate
graph.validate()?;

Graph Optimization

use tensorlogic_ir::graph::optimization::OptimizationPipeline;

let mut graph = /* ... */;

// Run full optimization pipeline
let stats = graph.optimize()?;

println!("Dead nodes removed: {}", stats.dead_nodes_removed);
println!("Common subexpressions: {}", stats.cse_count);
println!("Simplifications: {}", stats.simplifications);

// Individual optimization passes
graph.eliminate_dead_code()?;
graph.common_subexpression_elimination()?;
graph.simplify()?;

Metadata & Provenance

use tensorlogic_ir::{Metadata, Provenance, SourceLocation};

// Track source location
let location = SourceLocation::new("rules.tl", 42, 10);

// Add provenance information
let provenance = Provenance::new("rule_123")
    .with_source_file("rules.tl")
    .with_attribute("author", "alice");

// Attach to graph nodes
let metadata = Metadata::new()
    .with_name("matrix_multiply")
    .with_attribute("optimization_level", "3");

}

pub enum Term {
    Var(String),
    Const(String),
    Typed {
        value: Box<Term>,
        type_annotation: TypeAnnotation,
    },
}

pub enum OpType {
    Einsum { spec: String },
    ElemUnary { op: String },
    ElemBinary { op: String },
    Reduce { op: String, axes: Vec<usize> },
}

Analysis & Validation

Free Variable Analysis

let expr = TLExpr::pred("knows", vec![Term::var("x"), Term::var("y")]);
let free = expr.free_vars();  // {"x", "y"}

let quantified = TLExpr::exists("x", "Person", expr);
let still_free = quantified.free_vars();  // {"y"} - x is bound

Arity Validation

// Consistent arity ✓
let p1 = TLExpr::pred("P", vec![Term::var("x"), Term::var("y")]);
let p2 = TLExpr::pred("P", vec![Term::var("a"), Term::var("b")]);
let expr = TLExpr::and(p1, p2);
assert!(expr.validate_arity().is_ok());

// Inconsistent arity ✗
let p3 = TLExpr::pred("P", vec![Term::var("z")]);
let bad_expr = TLExpr::and(p1, p3);
assert!(bad_expr.validate_arity().is_err());

Domain Validation

let registry = DomainRegistry::with_builtins();

// Valid: x and y have compatible domains
let expr = TLExpr::exists(
    "x", "Int",
    TLExpr::forall("x", "Int", TLExpr::pred("P", vec![Term::var("x")]))
);
assert!(expr.validate_domains(&registry).is_ok());

// Invalid: incompatible domains
let bad = TLExpr::exists(
    "x", "Int",
    TLExpr::forall("x", "Bool", TLExpr::pred("P", vec![Term::var("x")]))
);
assert!(bad.validate_domains(&registry).is_err());

Logic-to-Tensor Mapping

Serialization

Full serde support for JSON and binary formats:

use serde_json;

let expr = TLExpr::pred("Person", vec![Term::var("x")]);

// JSON
let json = serde_json::to_string(&expr)?;
let restored: TLExpr = serde_json::from_str(&json)?;

// Pretty JSON
let pretty = serde_json::to_string_pretty(&expr)?;

// Graphs too
let graph = EinsumGraph::new();
let graph_json = serde_json::to_string(&graph)?;
