idp_engine.Interpret

Methods to ground / interpret a theory in a data structure

  • expand quantifiers

  • replace symbols interpreted in the structure by their interpretation

  • instantiate definitions

This module monkey-patches the ASTNode class and sub-classes.

( see docs/zettlr/Substitute.md )

interpret(self, problem, subs)[source]

expand quantifiers and replace symbols interpreted in the structure by their interpretation

Parameters
  • self (Expression) – the expression to be interpreted

  • problem (Optional[Theory]) – the theory to be applied

  • subs (dict[str, Expression]) – a dictionary mapping variable names to their value

Returns

the interpreted expression

Return type

Expression

get_supersets(self, problem)[source]

determine the extent of the variables, if possible, and add a filter to the quantified expression if needed. This is used to ground quantification over unary predicates.

Example

type T := {1,2,3} p : T -> Bool // p is a subset of T !x in p: q(x)

The formula is equivalent to !x in T: p(x) => q(x). -> The superset of p is {1,2,3}, the filter is p(x). The grounding is (p(1)=>q(1)) & (p(2)=>q(2)) & (p(3)=>q(3))

If p is enumerated (p:={1,2}) in a structure, however, the superset is now {1,2} and there is no need for a filter. The grounding is q(1) & q(2)

Result:

self.supersets is updated to contain the supersets self.sub_exprs are updated with the appropriate filters

Parameters
  • self (AQuantification | AAggregate) –

  • problem (Optional[Theory]) –
