GF(3) Proof State Mapping

Proof States → GF(3) Trits → Mode-line Colors

unproved    → -1 (MINUS)   → RED     #FF0000
processing  → 0  (ERGODIC) → YELLOW  #FFFF00
proved      → +1 (PLUS)    → GREEN   #00FF00

Conservation Law

For any sequence of proof steps:

Σ (state_i mod 3) ≡ 0 (mod 3)

Example trajectory:

[proved unproved unproved proved proved proved]
  +1      -1       -1      +1     +1     +1

Sum: +1 - 1 - 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = +2 ≡ -1 (mod 3)

Proof Assistant Integration

1. Stellogen (Transcendental Syntax)

' Create constellation
spec add =
  -add(z Y) +result(Y);
  -add(s(X) Y) +add(X s(Y)).

' Run with C-c t s r

Commands:

• trans-kb-stellogen-run-file - Execute .sg file
• trans-kb-stellogen-constellation - Insert template

2. Narya (Observational Bridge Types)

-- Bridge type template (C-c t n b)
def bridge (A : Type) (x y : A) : Type := x ≡ y

-- Transport template (C-c t n t)
def transport (A : Type) (P : A → Type) (x y : A) (p : x ≡ y) : P x → P y
  := λ px. subst P p px

Features:

• Observational equality (no interval type)
• Higher-dimensional type theory
• Bridge types computed from structure

3. Proof General (Coq/Lean/Agda)

Standard Proof General commands enhanced with:

• Color state feedback
• Auto-save on successful steps
• GF(3) conservation tracking

Gay.jl Color Integration

Deterministic Color Generation

;; Set seed (matches Gay.jl)
(setq trans-kb-gay-seed 1069)

;; Get next color in sequence
(trans-kb-next-color)
;; => (:L 52.3 :C 78.1 :H 215.7 :hex "#2D4FE8" :index 1)

;; Update mode-line based on proof state
(trans-kb-update-mode-line-color)

Color Menu (C-c t c)

Self-Operating Proof Automation

Auto-Prove Tactics

(setq trans-kb-auto-tactics
  '("reflexivity"      ; Identity proofs
    "apply assumption" ; Use hypotheses
    "intro"            ; Introduce variables
    "split"            ; Conjunction
    "left"             ; Disjunction left
    "right"            ; Disjunction right
    "exact rfl"))      ; Definitional equality

Usage

(* Unsolved goal *)

Installation

Via straight.el

(use-package transcendental-keyboard
  :straight (transcendental-keyboard
             :type git
             :host github
             :repo "plurigrid/asi"
             :files ("skills/transcendental-keyboard/*.el"))

Example Workflow

1. Narya Higher-Dimensional Proof

-- File: bridge_example.ny

-- Define natural numbers
def Nat : Type := data [
  | zero : Nat
  | suc : Nat → Nat
]

-- Addition
def add : Nat → Nat → Nat := [
  | zero, n => n
  | suc m, n => suc (add m n)
]

-- Bridge between two addition orders
def add_comm (m n : Nat) : add m n ≡ add n m := {
  -- C-c C-a to auto-prove
  -- Mode-line: RED → YELLOW → GREEN
}

Keyboard sequence:

1. C-c t → Main menu
2. p → Proof menu
3. n → Step forward (mode-line: RED → YELLOW → GREEN)
4. C-c C-a → Auto-prove attempt

2. Stellogen Constellation

# File: nat_add.sg

spec nat =
  -i(z) ok;
  -i(s(X)) +i(X).

spec add =
  -add(z Y) +result(Y);
  -add(s(X) Y) +add(X s(Y)).

show process #input(s(s(z))). #add. &kill. end

Keyboard sequence:

1. C-c t s → Stellogen menu
2. r → Run file
3. Output in *stellogen* buffer

3. GF(3) Conservation Check

;; After proof session
M-x trans-kb-analyze-conservation
;; => "GF(3) Analysis: 15/17 triads conserved (88.2%)"

proofgeneral-narya (-1) ⊗ transcendental-keyboard (0) ⊗ stellogen (+1) = 0 ✓
lean-proof-walk (-1) ⊗ transcendental-keyboard (0) ⊗ gay-mcp (+1) = 0 ✓

Troubleshooting

Proof General Not Loading

;; Check if proof-site.el is in load-path
(locate-library "proof-site")

;; Manually load
(load "~/.emacs.d/proof-general/generic/proof-site")

Gay.jl Colors Not Showing

;; Check if gay.el is loaded
(featurep 'gay)

;; Load manually
(load "~/i/gay.el")

;; Verify color generation
(gay-color-at 1069 0)

Mode-Line Not Updating

;; Enable color mode
(setq trans-kb-color-mode t)

;; Force update
(trans-kb-update-mode-line-color)

;; Check current state
trans-kb-current-state  ; => unproved, processing, or proved

Advanced Features

State History Analysis

;; View complete state history
trans-kb-state-history
;; => (proved proved unproved processing proved ...)

;; Count states
(cl-loop for state in trans-kb-state-history
         count (eq state 'proved))  ; => 42

;; GF(3) conservation ratio
(trans-kb-analyze-conservation)
;; => "GF(3) Analysis: 14/14 triads conserved (100.0%)"

Custom Proof Tactics

;; Add domain-specific tactics
(add-to-list 'trans-kb-auto-tactics "unfold my_definition")
(add-to-list 'trans-kb-auto-tactics "rewrite my_lemma")

;; Tactic with priority
(push "exact rfl" trans-kb-auto-tactics)  ; Try first

Integration with Other Systems

;; Hook into proof state changes
(add-hook 'trans-kb-state-change-hook
  (lambda (old-state new-state)
    (message "State transition: %s → %s" old-state new-state)))

;; Export to NATS
(defun trans-kb-publish-state ()
  "Publish proof state to NATS."
  (when (featurep 'gay)
    (gay-publish "proof.state"
                 (json-encode `((state . ,trans-kb-current-state)
                                (index . ,trans-kb-color-index))))))
