The GEB Manual

Table of Contents

[in package GEB-DOCS/DOCS]

Welcome to the GEB project.

1 Links

Here is the official repository

and HTML documentation for the latest version.

Maintainers: please read the maintainers guide

1.1 code coverage

For test coverage it can be found at the following links:

SBCL test coverage

CCL test coverage: current under maintenance

Note that due to #34 CCL tests are not currently displaying

I recommend reading the CCL code coverage version, as it has proper tags.

Currently they are manually generated, and thus for a more accurate assessment see GEB-TEST:CODE-COVERAGE

2 Getting Started

Welcome to the GEB Project!

2.1 installation

This project uses common lisp, so a few dependencies are needed to get around the code-base and start hacking. Namely:

  1. lisp with quicklisp.

  2. Emacs along with one of the following:

2.2 loading

Now that we have an environment setup, we can load the project, this can be done in a few steps.

  1. Open the REPL (sbcl (terminal), M-x sly, M-x swank)

    • For the terminal, this is just calling the common lisp implementation from the terminal.

      user@system:geb-directory % sbcl.

    • For Emacs, this is simply calling either M-x sly or M-x slime if you are using either sly or slime

  2. From Emacs: open geb.asd and press C-ck (sly-compile-and-load-file, or swank-compile-and-load-file if you are using swank).

Now that we have the file open, we can now load the system by writing:

;; only necessary for the first time!
(ql:quickload :geb/documentation)

;; if you want to load it in the future
(asdf:load-system :geb/documentation)

;; if you want to load the codbase and run tests at the same time
(asdf:test-system :geb/documentation)

;; if you want to run the tests once the system is loaded!
(geb-test:run-tests)

2.3 Geb as a binary

[in package GEB.ENTRY]

The standard way to use geb currently is by loading the code into one's lisp environment

(ql:quickload :geb)

However, one may be interested in running geb in some sort of compilation process, that is why we also give out a binary for people to use

An example use of this binary is as follows

mariari@Gensokyo % ./geb.image -i "foo.lisp" -e "geb.lambda.main::*entry*" -l -p -o "foo.pir"

mariari@Gensokyo % cat foo.pir
def entry x1 = {
  (x1)
};%
mariari@Gensokyo % ./geb.image -i "foo.lisp" -e "geb.lambda.main::*entry*" -l -p
def *entry* x {
  0
}

mariari@Gensokyo % ./geb.image -h
  -i --input                      string   Input geb file location
  -e --entry-point                string   The function to run, should be fully qualified I.E. geb::my-main
  -l --stlc                       boolean  Use the simply typed lambda calculus frontend
  -o --output                     string   Save the output to a file rather than printing
  -v --version                    boolean  Prints the current version of the compiler
  -p --vampir                     string   Return a vamp-ir expression
  -s --library                    boolean  Print standard library
  -h -? --help                    boolean  The current help message

mariari@Gensokyo % ./geb.image -v
0.3.2

starting from a file foo.lisp that has

any valid lambda form. Good examples can be found at the following section:

The Simply Typed Lambda Calculus model

with the term bound to some global variable

(in-package :geb.lambda.main)

(defparameter *entry*
  (lamb (list (coprod so1 so1))
        (index 0)))

inside of it.

The command needs an entry-point (-e or --entry-point), as we are simply call LOAD on the given file, and need to know what to translate.

from STLC, we expect the form to be wrapped in the GEB.LAMBDA.SPEC.TYPED which takes both the type and the value to properly have enough context to evaluate.

It is advised to bind this to a parameter like in our example as -e expects a symbol.

the -l flag means that we are not expecting a geb term, but rather a lambda frontend term, this is to simply notify us to compile it as a lambda term rather than a geb term. In time this will go away

The flag -s prints the standard library the compiler uses. If -p is used alongside it, the standard library gets printed before the compiled circuit.

The flag -t after -p signals that the user wants to make an automatically generated test equality. Given a compiled VampIR function with name foo and arguments x1...xn prints an equality as foo x1 ... xn = y

3 Glossary

  • [glossary-term] closed type

    A closed type is a type that can not be extended dynamically. A good example of this kind of term is an ML ADT.

    data Tree = Empty
          | Leaf Int
          | Node Tree Tree

    In our lisp code we have a very similar convention:

    (in-package :geb.spec)

(deftype substmorph ()
  `(or substobj
       alias
       comp init terminal case pair distribute
       inject-left inject-right
       project-left project-right))

    This type is closed, as only one of GEB:SUBSTOBJ, GEB:INJECT-LEFT, GEB:INJECT-RIGHT etc can form the GEB:SUBSTMORPH type.

    The main benefit of this form is that we can be exhaustive over what can be found in GEB:SUBSTMORPH.

    (defun so-hom-obj (x z)
  (match-of substobj x
    (so0          so1)
    (so1          z)
    (alias        (so-hom-obj (obj x) z))
    ((coprod x y) (prod (so-hom-obj x z)
                        (so-hom-obj y z)))
    ((prod x y)   (so-hom-obj x (so-hom-obj y z)))))

    If we forget a case, like GEB:COPROD it wanrs us with an non exhaustion warning.

    Meaning that if we update definitions this works well.

    The main downside is that we can not extend the type after the fact, meaning that all interfaces on SO-HOM-OBJ must take the unaltered type. This is in stark contrast to open types. To find out more about the trade offs and usage in the code-base read the section Open Types versus Closed Types.

  • [glossary-term] open type

    An open type is a type that can be extended by user code down the line. A good example of this in ML is the type class system found in Haskell.

    In our code base, it is simple as creating a Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) term

    (defclass <substobj> (direct-pointwise-mixin) ())

    and to create a child of it all we need to do is.

    (defclass so0 (<substobj>) ())

    Now any methods on GEB:<SUBSTOBJ> will cover GEB:SO0(0 1).

    The main disadvantage of these is that exhaustion can not be checked, and thus the user has to know what methods to fill out. In a system with a bit more checks this is not a problem in practice. To find out more about the trade offs and usage in the code-base read the section Open Types versus Closed Types.

  • [glossary-term] Common Lisp Object System (CLOS)

    The object system found in CL. Has great features like a Meta Object Protocol that helps it facilitate extensions.

4 Original Efforts

Originally GEB started off as an Idris codebase written by the designer and creator of GEB, Terence Rokop, However further efforts spawned for even further formal verification by Artem Gureev. Due to this, we have plenty of code not in Common Lisp that ought to be a good read.

4.1 Geb's Idris Code

The Idris folder can be found in the geb-idris folder provided in the codebase

At the time of this document, there is over 16k lines of Idris code written. This serves as the bulk of the POC that is GEB and is a treasure trove of interesting information surrounding category theory.

4.2 Geb's Agda Code

The Agda folder can be found in the geb-agda folder provided in the codebase

The Agda codebase serves as a great place to view formally verified properties about the GEB project. Although Geb's Idris Code is written in a dependently typed language, it serves as reference example of GEB, while Geb's Agda Code serves as the mathematical formalism proving various conjectures about GEB

5 Categorical Model

Geb is organizing programming language concepts (and entities!) using category theory, originally developed by mathematicians, but very much alive in programming language theory. Let us look at a simple well-known example: the category of sets and functions. It is the bread and butter example: sets $A,B,C,…$ play the role of objects, functions are arrows between objects $A—f→B$, and the latter compose as functions do, such that every path of matching functions $$A—f→B—g→C—h→D$$ composes to a corresponding composite function $$A—f;g;h→D$$ (or $h∘g∘f$ if you prefer) and we enjoy the luxury of not having to worry about the order in which we compose; for the sake of completeness, there are identify functions $A —\mathrm{id}_A→ A$ on each set $A$, serving as identities (which correspond to the composite of the empty path on an object). Sets and functions together form a category—based on function composition; thus, let's call this category sets-'n'-functions. This example, even “restricted” to finite sets-'n'-functions, will permeate through Geb.

One of the first lessons (in any introduction to category theory) about sets-'n'-functions is the characterization of products and disjoint sums of sets in terms of functions alone, i.e., without ever talking about elements of sets. Products and co-products are the simplest examples of universal constructions. One of the first surprises follows suit when we generalize functions to partial functions, relations, or even multi-relations: we obtain very different categories! For example, in the category sets-'n'-relations, the disjoint union of sets features as both a product and a co-product, as a categorical construction.

Do not fear! The usual definition of products in terms of elements of sets are absolutely compatible with the universal construction in sets-'n'-functions. However we gain the possibility to compare the “result” of the universal constructions in sets-'n'-functions with the one in sets-'n'-relations (as both actually do have products).

for the purposes of Geb, many things can be expressed in analogy to the category of sets-'n'-functions; thus a solid understanding of the latter will be quite useful. In particular, we shall rely on the following universal constructions:

  1. The construction of binary products $A × B$ of sets $A,B$, and the empty product $mathsf{1}$.

  2. The construction of “function spaces” $B^A$ of sets $A,B$, called exponentials, i.e., collections of functions between pairs of sets.

  3. The so-called currying of functions, $C^{(B^A)} cong C^{(A × B)}$, such that providing several arguments to a function can done either simultaneously, or in sequence.

  4. The construction of sums (a.k.a. co-products) $A + B$ of sets $A,B$, corresponding to forming disjoint unions of sets; the empty sum is $varnothing$.

Product, sums and exponentials are the (almost) complete tool chest for writing polynomial expressions, e.g., $$Ax^{sf 2} +x^{sf 1} - Dx^{sf 0}.$$ (We need these later to define “algebraic data types”.) In the above expression, we have sets instead of numbers/constants where $ mathsf{2} = lbrace 1, 2 rbrace$, $ mathsf{1} = lbrace 1 rbrace$, $ mathsf{0} = lbrace rbrace = varnothing$, and $A$ and $B$ are arbitrary (finite) sets. We are only missing a counterpart for the variable! Raising an arbitrary set to “the power” of a constant set happens to have a very natural counterpart: the central actor of the most-well known fundamental result about categories, which generalizes Cayley's Theorem, i.e., the Yoneda embedding.

If you are familiar with the latter, buckle up and jump to Poly in Sets. Have a look at our streamlined account of The Yoneda Lemma if you are familiar with Cartesian closed categories, or take it slow and read up on the background in one of the classic or popular textbooks. Tastes tend to vary. However, Benjamin Pierce's Basic Category Theory for Computer Scientists deserves being pointed out as it is very amenable and covers the background we need in 60 short pages.

6 Project Idioms and Conventions

The Geb Project is written in Common Lisp, which means the authors have a great choice in freedom in how the project is laid out and operates. In particular the style of Common Lisp here is a functional style with some OO idioms in the style of Smalltalk.

The subsections will outline many idioms that can be found throughout the codebase.

6.1 Spec Files, Main Files and Project Layout

[in package GEB.SPECS]

The codebase is split between many files. Each folder can be seen as a different idea within geb itself! Thus the poly has packages revolving around polynomials, the geb folder has packages regarding the main types of geb Subst Obj and Subst Morph, etc etc.

The general layout quirk of the codebase is that packages like geb.package.spec defines the specification for the base types for any category we wish to model, and these reside in the specs folder not in the folder that talks about the packages of those types. This is due to loading order issues, we thus load the specs packages before each of their surrounding packages, so that each package can built off the last. Further, packages like geb.package.main define out most of the functionality of the package to be used by other packages in geb.package, then all of these are reexported out in the geb.package package

Further to make working with each package of an idea is easy, we have the main package of the folder (typically named the same as the folder name) reexport most important components so if one wants to work with the fully fledged versions of the package they can simply without having to import too many packages at once.

For example, the geb.poly.spec defines out the types and data structures of the Polynomial Types, this is then rexported in geb.poly, giving the module geb.poly a convenient interface for all functions that operate on geb.poly.

6.2 Open Types versus Closed Types

closed type's and open type's both have their perspective tradeoff of openness versus exhaustiveness (see the linked articles for more on that). Due to this, they both have their own favorable applications. I would argue that a closed ADT type is great tool for looking at a function mathematically and treating the object as a whole rather than piecemeal. Whereas a more open extension is great for thinking about how a particular object/case behaves. They are different mindsets for different styles of code.

In the geb project, we have chosen to accept both styles, and allow both to coexist in the same setting. We have done this with a two part idiom.

(deftype substobj ()
  `(or alias prod coprod so0 so1))

(defclass <substobj> (direct-pointwise-mixin) ())

(defclass so0 (<substobj>) ...)

(defclass prod (<substobj>) ...)

The closed type is GEB:SUBSTOBJ, filling and defining every structure it knows about. This is a fixed idea that a programmer may statically update and get exhaustive warnings about. Whereas GEB:<SUBSTOBJ> is the open interface for the type. Thus we can view [GEB:<SUBSTOBJ>] as the general idea of a [GEB:SUBSTOBJ]. Before delving into how we combine these methods, let us look at two other benefits given by [GEB:<SUBSTOBJ>]

  1. We can put all the Mixins into the superclass to enforce that any type that extends it has the extended behaviors we wish. This is a great way to generically enhance the capabilities of the type without operating on it directly.

  2. We can dispatch on GEB:<SUBSTOBJ> since DEFMETHOD only works on Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) types and not generic types in CL.

Methods for closed and open types

With these pieces in play let us explore how we write a method in a way that is conducive to open and closed code.

(in-package :geb)

(defgeneric to-poly (morphism))

(defmethod to-poly ((obj <substmorph>))
  (typecase-of substmorph obj
    (alias        ...)
    (substobj     (error "Impossible")
    (init          0)
    (terminal      0)
    (inject-left   poly:ident)
    (inject-right  ...)
    (comp          ...)
    (case          ...)
    (pair          ...)
    (project-right ...)
    (project-left  ...)
    (distribute    ...)
    (otherwise (subclass-responsibility obj))))

(defmethod to-poly ((obj <substobj>))
  (declare (ignore obj))
  poly:ident)

In this piece of code we can notice a few things:

  1. We case on [GEB:SUBSTMORPH] exhaustively

  2. We cannot hit the [GEB:<SUBSTOBJ>] case due to method dispatch

  3. We have this [GEB.UTILS:SUBCLASS-RESPONSIBILITY] function getting called.

  4. We can write further methods extending the function to other subtypes.

Thus the [GEB.COMMON:TO-POLY] function is written in such a way that it supports a closed definition and open extensions, with [GEB.UTILS:SUBCLASS-RESPONSIBILITY] serving to be called if an extension a user wrote has no handling of this method.

Code can also be naturally written in a more open way as well, by simply running methods on each class instead.

Potential Drawback and Fixes

One nasty drawback is that we can't guarantee the method exists. In java this can easily be done with interfaces and then enforcing they are fulfilled. Sadly CL has no such equivalent. However, this is all easily implementable. If this ever becomes a major problem, it is trivial to implement this by registering the subclasses, and the perspective methods, and scouring the image for instance methods, and computing if any parent class that isn't the one calling responsibility fulfills it. Thus, in practice, you should be able to ask the system if any particular extension fulfills what extension sets that the base object has and give CI errors if they are not fulfilled, thus enforcing closed behavior when warranted.

6.3 ≺Types≻

These refer to the open type variant to a closed type. Thus when one sees a type like GEB: it is the open version of GEB:SUBSTOBJ. Read Open Types versus Closed Types for information on how to use them.

7 The Geb Model

[in package GEB]

Everything here relates directly to the underlying machinery of GEB, or to abstractions that help extend it.

7.1 The Categorical Interface

[in package GEB.MIXINS]

This covers the main Categorical interface required to be used and contained in various data structures

  • [class] CAT-OBJ

    I offer the service of being a base category objects with no extensions

  • [class] CAT-MORPH

    I offer the service of being a base categorical morphism with no extensions

  • [generic-function] DOM X

    Grabs the domain of the morphism. Returns a CAT-OBJ

  • [generic-function] CODOM X

    Grabs the codomain of the morphism. Returns a CAT-OBJ

  • [generic-function] CURRY-PROD CAT-MORPH CAT-LEFT CAT-RIGHT

    Curries the given product type given the product. This returns a CAT-MORPH.

    This interface version takes the left and right product type to properly dispatch on. Instances should specialize on the CAT-RIGHT argument

    Use GEB.MAIN:CURRY instead.

7.2 Geneircs

[in package GEB.GENERICS]

These functions represent the generic functions that can be run on many parts of the compiler, they are typically rexported on any package that implements the given generic function.

You can view their documentation in their respective API sections.

The main documentation for the functionality is given here, with examples often given in the specific methods

  • [generic-function] GAPPLY MORPHISM OBJECT

    Applies a given Moprhism to a given object.

    This is practically a naive interpreter for any category found throughout the codebase.

    Some example usages of GAPPLY are.

    GEB> (gapply (comp
              (mcase geb-bool:true
                     geb-bool:not)
              (->right so1 geb-bool:bool))
             (left so1))
(right s-1)
GEB> (gapply (comp
              (mcase geb-bool:true
                     geb-bool:not)
              (->right so1 geb-bool:bool))
             (right so1))
(left s-1)

  • [generic-function] WELL-DEFP-CAT MORPHISM

    Given a moprhism of a category, checks that it is well-defined. E.g. that composition of morphism is well-defined by checking that the domain of MCAR corresponds to the codomain of MCADR

  • [generic-function] MAYBE OBJECT

    Wraps the given OBJECT into a Maybe monad The Maybe monad in this case is simply wrapping the term in a coprod of so1(0 1)

  • [generic-function] SO-HOM-OBJ OBJECT1 OBJECT2

    Takes in X and Y Geb objects and provides an internal hom-object (so-hom-obj X Y) representing a set of functions from X to Y

  • [generic-function] SO-EVAL OBJECT1 OBJECT2

    Takes in X and Y Geb objects and provides an evaluation morphism (prod (so-hom-obj X Y) X) -> Y

  • [generic-function] WIDTH OBJECT

    Given an OBJECT of Geb presents it as a SeqN object. That is, width corresponds the object part of the to-seqn functor.

  • [generic-function] TO-CIRCUIT MORPHISM NAME

    Turns a MORPHISM into a Vampir circuit. the NAME is the given name of the output circuit.

  • [generic-function] TO-CAT CONTEXT TERM

    Turns a MORPHISM with a context into Geb's Core category

  • [generic-function] TO-VAMPIR MORPHISM VALUES CONSTRAINTS

    Turns a MORPHISM into a Vampir circuit, with concrete values.

    The more natural interface is [TO-CIRCUIT], however this is a more low level interface into what the polynomial categories actually implement, and thus can be extended or changed.

    The VALUES are likely vampir values in a list.

    The CONSTRAINTS represent constraints that get creating

7.3 Core Category

[in package GEB.SPEC]

The underlying category of GEB. With Subst Obj covering the shapes and forms (GEB-DOCS/DOCS:@OBJECTS) of data while Subst Morph deals with concrete GEB-DOCS/DOCS:@MORPHISMS within the category.

From this category, most abstractions will be made, with SUBSTOBJ serving as a concrete type layout, with SUBSTMORPH serving as the morphisms between different SUBSTOBJ types. This category is equivalent to finset.

A good example of this category at work can be found within the Booleans section.

7.3.1 Subst Obj

This section covers the objects of the SUBSTMORPH category. Note that SUBSTOBJ refers to the [closed type], whereas <SUBSTOBJ> refers to the [open type] that allows for user extension.

  • [type] SUBSTOBJ

SUBSTOBJ type is not a constructor itself, instead it's best viewed as the sum type, with the types below forming the constructors for the term. In ML we would write it similarly to:

type substobj = so0
              | so1
              | prod
              | coprod

  • [class] PROD <SUBSTOBJ>

    The PRODUCT object. Takes two CAT-OBJ values that get put into a pair.

    The formal grammar of PRODUCT is

    (prod mcar mcadr)

    where PROD is the constructor, [MCAR] is the left value of the product, and [MCADR] is the right value of the product.

    Example:

    (geb-gui::visualize (prod geb-bool:bool geb-bool:bool))

    Here we create a product of two [GEB-BOOL:BOOL] types.

  • [class] COPROD <SUBSTOBJ>

    the CO-PRODUCT object. Takes CAT-OBJ values that get put into a choice of either value.

    The formal grammar of PRODUCT is

    (coprod mcar mcadr)

    Where CORPOD is the constructor, [MCAR] is the left choice of the sum, and [MCADR] is the right choice of the sum.

    Example:

    (geb-gui::visualize (coprod so1 so1))

    Here we create the boolean type, having a choice between two unit values.

  • [class] SO0 <SUBSTOBJ>

    The Initial Object. This is sometimes known as the VOID type.

    the formal grammar of SO0 is

    so0

    where SO0 is THE initial object.

    Example

    lisp

  • [class] SO1 <SUBSTOBJ>

    The Terminal Object. This is sometimes referred to as the Unit type.

    the formal grammar or SO1 is

    so1

    where SO1 is THE terminal object

    Example

    (coprod so1 so1)

    Here we construct [GEB-BOOL:BOOL] by simply stating that we have the terminal object on either side, giving us two possible ways to fill the type.

    (->left so1 so1)

(->right so1 so1)

    where applying [->LEFT] gives us the left unit, while [->RIGHT] gives us the right unit.

The Accessors specific to Subst Obj

  • [accessor] MCAR PROD (:MCAR)

  • [accessor] MCADR PROD (:MCADR)

  • [accessor] MCAR COPROD (:MCAR)

  • [accessor] MCADR COPROD (:MCADR)

7.3.2 Subst Morph

The overarching types that categorizes the SUBSTMORPH category. Note that SUBSTMORPH refers to the [closed type], whereas <SUBSTMORPH> refers to the [open type] that allows for user extension.

  • [type] SUBSTMORPH

    The morphisms of the SUBSTMORPH category

SUBSTMORPH type is not a constructor itself, instead it's best viewed as the sum type, with the types below forming the constructors for the term. In ML we would write it similarly to:

type substmorph = comp
                | substobj
                | case
                | init
                | terminal
                | pair
                | distribute
                | inject-left
                | inject-right
                | project-left
                | project-right

Note that an instance of SUBSTOBJ, acts like the identity morphism to the layout specified by the given SUBSTOBJ. Thus we can view this as automatically lifting a SUBSTOBJ into a SUBSTMORPH

  • [class] COMP <SUBSTMORPH>

    The composition morphism. Takes two CAT-MORPH values that get applied in standard composition order.

    The formal grammar of COMP is

    (comp mcar mcadr)

    which may be more familiar as

    g 。f

    Where COMP( 。) is the constructor, [MCAR](g) is the second morphism that gets applied, and [MCADR](f) is the first morphism that gets applied.

    Example:

    (geb-gui::visualize
 (comp
  (<-right so1 geb-bool:bool)
  (pair (<-left so1 geb-bool:bool)
        (<-right so1 geb-bool:bool))))

    In this example we are composing two morphisms. the first morphism that gets applied ([PAIR] ...) is the identity function on the type (PROD SO1 [GEB-BOOL:BOOL]), where we pair the left projection and the right projection, followed by taking the right projection of the type.

    Since we know (COMP f id) is just f per the laws of category theory, this expression just reduces to

    (<-right so1 geb-bool:bool)

  • [class] CASE <SUBSTMORPH>

    Eliminates coproducts. Namely Takes two CAT-MORPH values, one gets applied on the left coproduct while the other gets applied on the right coproduct. The result of each CAT-MORPH values must be the same.

    The formal grammar of CASE is:

    (mcase mcar mcadr)

    Where [MCASE] is the constructor, [MCAR] is the morphism that gets applied to the left coproduct, and [MCADR] is the morphism that gets applied to the right coproduct.

    Example:

    (comp
 (mcase geb-bool:true
        geb-bool:not)
 (->right so1 geb-bool:bool))

    In the second example, we inject a term with the shape [GEB-BOOL:BOOL] into a pair with the shape (SO1 × [GEB-BOOL:BOOL]), then we use [MCASE] to denote a morphism saying. IF the input is of the shape [SO1], then give us True, otherwise flip the value of the boolean coming in.

  • [class] INIT <SUBSTMORPH>

    The INITIAL Morphism, takes any [CAT-OBJ] and creates a moprhism from SO0 (also known as void) to the object given.

    The formal grammar of INITIAL is

    (init obj)

    where INIT is the constructor. [OBJ] is the type of object that will be conjured up from SO0, when the morphism is applied onto an object.

    Example:

    (init so1)

    In this example we are creating a unit value out of void.

  • [class] TERMINAL <SUBSTMORPH>

    The TERMINAL morphism, Takes any [CAT-OBJ] and creates a morphism from that object to SO1 (also known as unit).

    The formal grammar of TERMINAL is

    (terminal obj)

    where TERMINAL is the constructor. [OBJ] is the type of object that will be mapped to SO1, when the morphism is applied onto an object.

    Example:

    (terminal (coprod so1 so1))

(geb-gui::visualize (terminal (coprod so1 so1)))

(comp value (terminal (codomain value)))

(comp true (terminal bool))

    In the first example, we make a morphism from the corpoduct of SO1 and SO1 (essentially [GEB-BOOL:BOOL]) to SO1.

    In the third example we can proclaim a constant function by ignoring the input value and returning a morphism from unit to the desired type.

    The fourth example is taking a [GEB-BOOL:BOOL] and returning [GEB-BOOL:TRUE].

  • [class] PAIR <SUBSTMORPH>

    Introduces products. Namely Takes two CAT-MORPH values. When the PAIR morphism is applied on data, these two [CAT-MORPH]'s are applied to the object, returning a pair of the results

    The formal grammar of constructing an instance of pair is:

    (pair mcar mcdr)

    where PAIR is the constructor, MCAR is the left morphism, and MCDR is the right morphism

    Example:

    (pair (<-left so1 geb-bool:bool)
      (<-right so1 geb-bool:bool))

(geb-gui::visualize (pair (<-left so1 geb-bool:bool)
                          (<-right so1 geb-bool:bool)))

    Here this pair morphism takes the pair SO1(0 1) × GEB-BOOL:BOOL, and projects back the left field SO1 as the first value of the pair and projects back the GEB-BOOL:BOOL field as the second values.

  • [class] INJECT-LEFT <SUBSTMORPH>

    The left injection morphism. Takes two CAT-OBJ values. It is the dual of INJECT-RIGHT

    The formal grammar is

    (->left mcar mcadr)

    Where [->LEFT] is the constructor, [MCAR] is the value being injected into the coproduct of [MCAR] + [MCADR], and the [MCADR] is just the type for the unused right constructor.

    Example:

    (geb-gui::visualize (->left so1 geb-bool:bool))

(comp
 (mcase geb-bool:true
        geb-bool:not)
 (->left so1 geb-bool:bool))

    In the second example, we inject a term with the shape SO1(0 1) into a pair with the shape (SO1 × [GEB-BOOL:BOOL]), then we use MCASE to denote a morphism saying. IF the input is of the shape [SO1], then give us True, otherwise flip the value of the boolean coming in.

  • [class] INJECT-RIGHT <SUBSTMORPH>

    The right injection morphism. Takes two CAT-OBJ values. It is the dual of INJECT-LEFT

    The formal grammar is

    (->right mcar mcadr)

    Where ->RIGHT is the constructor, [MCADR] is the value being injected into the coproduct of [MCAR] + [MCADR], and the [MCAR] is just the type for the unused left constructor.

    Example:

    (geb-gui::visualize (->right so1 geb-bool:bool))

(comp
 (mcase geb-bool:true
        geb-bool:not)
 (->right so1 geb-bool:bool))

    In the second example, we inject a term with the shape [GEB-BOOL:BOOL] into a pair with the shape (SO1 × [GEB-BOOL:BOOL]), then we use [MCASE] to denote a morphism saying. IF the input is of the shape [SO1], then give us True, otherwise flip the value of the boolean coming in.

  • [class] PROJECT-LEFT <SUBSTMORPH>

    The LEFT PROJECTION. Takes two [CAT-MORPH] values. When the LEFT PROJECTION morphism is then applied, it grabs the left value of a product, with the type of the product being determined by the two [CAT-MORPH] values given.

    the formal grammar of a PROJECT-LEFT is:

    (<-left mcar mcadr)

    Where [<-LEFT] is the constructor, [MCAR] is the left type of the PRODUCT and [MCADR] is the right type of the PRODUCT.

    Example:

    (geb-gui::visualize
  (<-left geb-bool:bool (prod so1 geb-bool:bool)))

    In this example, we are getting the left [GEB-BOOL:BOOL] from a product with the shape

    (GEB-BOOL:BOOL × SO1 × [GEB-BOOL:BOOL])

  • [class] PROJECT-RIGHT <SUBSTMORPH>

    The RIGHT PROJECTION. Takes two [CAT-MORPH] values. When the RIGHT PROJECTION morphism is then applied, it grabs the right value of a product, with the type of the product being determined by the two [CAT-MORPH] values given.

    the formal grammar of a PROJECT-RIGHT is:

    (<-right mcar mcadr)

    Where [<-RIGHT] is the constructor, [MCAR] is the right type of the PRODUCT and [MCADR] is the right type of the PRODUCT.

    Example:

    (geb-gui::visualize
 (comp (<-right so1 geb-bool:bool)
       (<-right geb-bool:bool (prod so1 geb-bool:bool))))

    In this example, we are getting the right [GEB-BOOL:BOOL] from a product with the shape

    (GEB-BOOL:BOOL × SO1 × [GEB-BOOL:BOOL])

7.3.3 Realized Subst Objs

This section covers the REALIZED-OBJECT type. This represents a realized SUBSTOBJ term.

The REALIZED-OBJECT is not a real constructor but rather a sum type for the following type

(deftype realized-object () `(or left right list so1 so0))

In ML we would have written something like

type realized-object = so0
                     | so1
                     | list
                     | left
                     | right

  • [type] REALIZED-OBJECT

    A realized object that can be sent into.

    Lists represent PROD in the <SUBSTOBJ> category

    LEFT and RIGHT represents realized values for COPROD

    Lastly SO1 and SO0 represent the proper class

  • [function] LEFT OBJ

  • [function] RIGHT OBJ

data List = Nil | Cons Bool List

We likewise define it with coproducts, with the recursive type being opaque

(defparameter *nil* (so1))

(defparameter *cons-type* (reference 'cons))

(defparameter *canonical-cons-type*
  (opaque 'cons
          (prod geb-bool:bool *cons-type*)))

    then: (const f x) : a → b

    Γ, f : so1 → b, x : a
----------------------
(const f x) : a → b

    Further, If the input F has an ALIAS, then we wrap the output in a new alias to denote it's a constant version of that value.

    then: (curry f): a → c^b

    where c^b means c to the exponent of b (EXPT c b)

9 The GEB GUI

[in package GEB-GUI]

This section covers the suite of tools that help visualize geb objects and make the system nice to work with

9.1 Visualizer

The GEB visualizer deals with visualizing any objects found in the Core Category

if the visualizer gets a Subst Morph, then it will show how the GEB:SUBSTMORPH changes any incoming term.

if the visualizer gets a Subst Obj, then it shows the data layout of the term, showing what kind of data

  • [function] KILL-RUNNING

    Kills all threads and open gui objects created by VISUALIZE

9.1.1 Aiding the Visualizer

One can aid the visualization process a bit, this can be done by simply placing ALIAS around the object, this will place it in a box with a name to better identify it in the graphing procedure.

9.2 Export Visualizer

This works like the normal visualizer except it exports it to a file to be used by other projects or perhaps in papers

  • [function] SVG OBJECT PATH &KEY (DEFAULT-VIEW (MAKE-INSTANCE 'SHOW-VIEW))

    Runs the visualizer, outputting a static SVG image at the directory of choice.

    You can customize the view. By default it uses the show-view, which is the default of the visualizer.

    A good example usage is

    GEB-TEST> (geb-gui:svg (shallow-copy-object geb-bool:and) "/tmp/foo.svg")

9.3 The GEB Graphizer

[in package GEB-GUI.GRAPHING]

This section covers the GEB Graph representation

9.3.1 The GEB Graphizer Core

[in package GEB-GUI.CORE]

This section covers the graphing procedure in order to turn a GEB object into a format for a graphing backend.

The core types that facilittate the functionality

  • [type] NOTE

    A note is a note about a new node in the graph or a note about a NODE which should be merged into an upcoming NODE.

    An example of a NODE-NOTE would be in the case of pair

    (pair g f)
                   Π₁
     --f--> Y------
X----|            |-----> [Y × Z]
     --g--> Z-----
               Π₂

    An example of a MERGE-NOTE

    (Case f g)
(COMP g f)
               χ₁
         -------> X --f---
[X + Y]--|                ---> A
         -------> Y --g---/
           χ₂

X -f-> Y --> Y -g-> Z

    Notice that in the pair case, we have a note and a shared node to place down, where as in both of the MERGE-NOTE examples, the Note at the end is not prepended by any special information

  • [class] NODE META-MIXIN

    I represent a graphical node structure. I contain my children and a value to display, along with the representation for which the node really stands for.

    Further, we derive the meta-mixin, as it's important for arrow drawing to know if we are the left or the right or the nth child of a particular node. This information is tracked, by storing the object that goes to it in the meta table and recovering the note.

  • [class] NODE-NOTE

  • [class] SQUASH-NOTE

    This note should be squashed into another note and or node.

  • [function] MAKE-NOTE &REST INITARGS &KEY FROM NOTE VALUE &ALLOW-OTHER-KEYS

  • [function] MAKE-SQUASH &REST INITARGS &KEY VALUE &ALLOW-OTHER-KEYS

  • [generic-function] GRAPHIZE MORPH NOTES

    Turns a morphism into a node graph.

    The NOTES serve as a way of sharing and continuing computation.

    If the NOTE is a :SHARED NOTE then it represents a NODE without children, along with saying where it came from. This is to be stored in parent of the NOTE

    If the NOTE is a :CONTINUE NOTE, then the computation is continued at the spot.

    The parent field is to set the note on the parent if the NOTE is going to be merged

  • [generic-function] VALUE X

  • [function] CONS-NOTE NOTE NOTES

    Adds a note to the notes list.

  • [function] APPLY-NOTE NOTE-TO-BE-ON NOTE

    Here we apply the NOTE to the NODE.

    In the case of a new node, we record down the information in the note, and set the note as the child of the current NODE. The NODE is returned.

    In the case of a squash-note, we instead just return the squash-note as that is the proper NODE to continue from

  • [generic-function] REPRESENTATION X

  • [generic-function] CHILDREN X

  • [function] DETERMINE-TEXT-AND-OBJECT-FROM-NODE FROM TO

    Helps lookup the text from the node

  • [function] NOTERIZE-CHILDREN NODE FUNC

    Applies a specified note to the CHILDREN of the NODE.

    It does this by applying FUNC on all the CHILDREN and the index of the child in the list

  • [function] NOTORIZE-CHILDREN-WITH-INDEX-SCHEMA PREFIX NODE

    Notorizes the node with a prefix appended with the subscripted number

9.3.2 The GEB Graphizer Passes

[in package GEB-GUI.GRAPHING.PASSES]

This changes how the graph is visualized, simplifying the graph in ways that are intuitive to the user

  • [function] PASSES NODE

    Runs all the passes that simplify viewing the graph. These simplifications should not change the semantics of the graph, only display it in a more bearable way

10 Seqn Specification

[in package GEB.SEQN]

This covers a GEB view of multibit sequences. In particular this type will be used in translating GEB's view of multibit sequences into Vampir

10.1 Seqn Types

[in package GEB.SEQN.SPEC]

  • [type] SEQN

  • [class] <SEQN> DIRECT-POINTWISE-MIXIN CAT-MORPH

    Seqn is a category whose objects are finite sequences of natural numbers. The n-th natural number in the sequence represents the bitwidth of the n-th entry of the corresponding polynomial circuit

    Entries are to be read as (x_1,..., x_n) and x_i is the ith entry So car of a such a list will be the first entry, this is the dissimilarity with the bit notation where newer entries come first in the list

    We interpret pairs as actual pairs if entry is of width above 0 and drop it otherwise in the Vamp-Ir setup so that ident bool x bool goes to name x1 = x1 as (seqwidth bool) = (1, max(0, 0))

  • [class] COMPOSITION <SEQN>

    composes the MCAR and MCADR morphisms f : (a1,...,an) -> (b1,..., bm), g : (b1,...,bm) -> (c1, ..., ck) compose g f : (a1,...,an) -> (c1,...,cn)

  • [class] ID <SEQN>

    For f : (a1,..., an) -> (x1,...,xk), g : (b1,..., bm) -> (y1,...,yl) parallel f g : (a1,...,an, b1,...bm) -> (x1,...,xk,y1,...,yl)

  • [class] FORK-SEQ <SEQN>

    Removes an extra 0 entry from MCAR on the right remove (x1,...,xn) : (x1,...,xn, 0) -> (x1,...,xn)

  • [class] REMOVE-LEFT <SEQN>

    Removes an extra 0 entry from MCAR on the left remove (x1,...,xn) : (0, x1,...,xn) -> (x1,...,xn)

  • [class] DROP-WIDTH <SEQN>

    Given two vectors of same length but with the first ones of padded width, simply project the core bits without worrying about extra zeroes at the end if they are not doing any work drop-width (x1,...,xn) (y1,...,yn) : (x1,...,xn) -> (y1,...,yn) where xi > yi for each i and entries need to be in the image of the evident injection map

    In other words the constraints here are that on the enput ei corresponding to xi bit entry the constraint is that range yi ei is true alongside the usual (isrange xi ei) constraint

    Another implementation goes through manual removal of extra bits (specifically xi-yi bits) to the left after the decomposition by range xi

  • [class] INJ-LENGTH-LEFT <SEQN>

    Taken an MCAR vector appends to it MCADR list of vectors with arbitrary bit length by doing nothing on the extra entries, i.e. just putting 0es there. inj-lengh-left (x1,...,xn) (y1,...,ym): (x1,...,xn) -> (x1,...,xn, y1,...,yn) Where 0es go in the place of ys or nothing if the injection is into 0-bits

    So what gets injected is the left part

  • [class] INJ-LENGTH-RIGHT <SEQN>

    Taken an MCADR vector appends to it MCAR list of vectors with arbitrary bit length by doing nothing on the extra entries, i.e. just putting 0es there. inj-lengh-right (x1,...,xn) (y1,...,ym): (y1,...,ym) -> (x1,...,xn, y1,...,yn) Where 0es go in the place of xs. If any of yi's are 0-bit vectors, the injection goes to nil entry on those parts

    What gets injected is the right part

  • [class] INJ-SIZE <SEQN>

    Taken an MCAR 1-long and injects it to MCADR-wide slot wider than the original one by padding it with 0es on the left. inj-size x1 m: (x1) -> (m)

    Just a special case of drop-width

  • [class] BRANCH-SEQ <SEQN>

    Takes an f: (x1,...,xn) -> c, g : (x1,...,xn) ->c and produces branch-seq f g (1, x1,...,xn) -> c acting as f on 0 entry and g on 1

    Takes an MCAR sequence of length at least MCADR and shifts the MCADR-entry to the front shift-front (x1,...,xn) k : (x1,...,xk,...,xn) -> (xk, x1,..., x_k-1, x_k+1,...,xn)

  • [class] SEQN-DIVIDE <SEQN>

    Compiles to usual Vamp-IR floored multiplication of natural numbers of MCAR width. seqn-divide n : (n, n) -> (n)

  • [class] SEQN-NAT <SEQN>

    Produces a MCAR-wide representation of MCADR natural number seqn-nat n m = (0) -> (n)

  • [class] SEQN-CONCAT <SEQN>

    Takes a number of MCAR and MCADR width and produces a number of MCAR + MCADR width by concatenating the bit representations. Using field elements, this translates to multiplying the first input by 2 to the power of MCADR and summing with the second entry seqn-concat n m = (n, m) -> (n+m)

  • [class] SEQN-DECOMPOSE <SEQN>

    The type signature of the morphism is seqn-docompose n : (n) -> (1, (n - 1)) with the intended semantics being that the morphism takes an n-bit integer and splits it, taking the leftmost bit to the left part of the codomain and the rest of the bits to the right

  • [class] SEQN-EQ <SEQN>

    The type signature of the morphism is seqn-eq n : (n, n) -> (1, 0) with the intended semantics being that the morphism takes two n-bit integers and produces 1 iff they are equal

    where if

    x : a → b,          y : c → d

  • [class] SWAP <BITC>

    (swap n m)

    binds the [MCAR] to n and [MCADR] to m, where if the input vector is of length n + m, then it swaps the bits, algebraically we view it as

13 The Simply Typed Lambda Calculus model

[in package GEB.LAMBDA]

This covers GEB's view on simply typed lambda calculus

This serves as a useful frontend for those wishing to write a compiler to GEB and do not wish to target the categorical model.

If one is targeting their compiler to the frontend, then the following code should be useful for you.

(in-package :geb.lambda.main)

MAIN>
(to-circuit
 (lamb (list (coprod so1 so1))
              (index 0))
 :id)
(def id x1 = {
   (x1)
 };)

MAIN>
(to-circuit
 (lamb (list (coprod so1 so1))
              (case-on (index 0)
                              (lamb (list so1)
                                           (right so1 (unit)))
                              (lamb (list so1)
                                           (left so1 (unit)))))
 :not)
(def not x1 = {
   (((1 - x1) * 1) + (x1 * 0), ((1 - x1) * 1) + (x1 * 0))
 };)

MAIN> (to-circuit (lamb (list geb-bool:bool)
                        (left so1 (right so1 (index 0)))) :foo)
(def foo x1 = {
   (0, 1, x1)
 };)

For testing purposes, it may be useful to go to the BITC backend and run our interpreter

MAIN>
(gapply (to-bitc
         (lamb (list (coprod so1 so1))
               (case-on (index 0)
                        (lamb (list so1)
                              (right so1 (unit)))
                        (lamb (list so1)

13.1 Lambda Specification

[in package GEB.LAMBDA.SPEC]

This covers the various the abstract data type that is the simply typed lambda calculus within GEB. The class presents untyped STLC terms.

  • [type] STLC

    Type of untyped terms of STLC. Each class of a term has a slot for a type, which can be filled by auxiliary functions or by user. Types are represented as SUBSTOBJ.

  • [class] <STLC> DIRECT-POINTWISE-MIXIN META-MIXIN CAT-OBJ

    Class of untyped terms of simply typed lambda claculus. Given our presentation, we look at the latter as a type theory spanned by empty, unit types as well as coproduct, product, and function types.

  • [class] ABSURD <STLC>

    The ABSURD term provides an element of an arbitrary type given a term of the empty type, denoted by SO0. The formal grammar of ABSURD is

    (absurd tcod term)

    where we possibly can include type information by

    (absurd tcod term :ttype ttype)

    The intended semantics are: [TCOD] is a type whose term we want to get (and hence a SUBSTOBJ) and [TERM] is a term of the empty type (and hence an STLC.

    This corresponds to the elimination rule of the empty type. Namely, given $$\Gamma \vdash \text{tcod : Type}$$ and $$\Gamma \vdash \text{term : so0}$$ one deduces $$\Gamma \vdash \text{(absurd tcod term) : tcod}$$

  • [class] UNIT <STLC>

    The unique term of the unit type, the latter represented by SO1. The formal grammar of UNIT is

    (unit)

    where we can optionally include type information by

    (unit :ttype ttype)

    Clearly the type of UNIT is SO1 but here we provide all terms untyped.

    This grammar corresponds to the introduction rule of the unit type. Namely $$\Gamma \dashv \text{(unit) : so1}$$

  • [class] LEFT <STLC>

    Term of a coproduct type gotten by injecting into the left type of the coproduct. The formal grammar of LEFT is

    (left rty term)

    where we can include optional type information by

    (left rty term :ttype ttype)

    The intended semantics are as follows: RTY should be a type (and hence a SUBSTOBJ) and specify the right part of the coproduct of the type TTYPE of the entire term. The term (and hence an STLC) we are injecting is TERM.

    This corresponds to the introduction rule of the coproduct type. Namely, given $$\Gamma \dashv \text{(ttype term) : Type}$$ and $$\Gamma \dashv \text{rty : Type}$$ with $$\Gamma \dashv \text{term : (ttype term)}$$ we deduce $$\Gamma \dashv \text{(left rty term) : (coprod (ttype term) rty)}$$

  • [class] RIGHT <STLC>

    Term of a coproduct type gotten by injecting into the right type of the coproduct. The formal grammar of RIGHT is

    (right lty term)

    where we can include optional type information by

    (right lty term :ttype ttype)

    The intended semantics are as follows: [LTY] should be a type (and hence a SUBSTOBJ) and specify the left part of the coproduct of the type [TTYPE] of the entire term. The term (and hence an STLC) we are injecting is [TERM].

    This corresponds to the introduction rule of the coproduct type. Namely, given $$\Gamma \dashv \text{(ttype term) : Type}$$ and $$\Gamma \dashv \text{lty : Type}$$ with $$\Gamma \dashv \text{term : (ttype term)}$$ we deduce $$\Gamma \dashv \text{(right lty term) : (coprod lty (ttype term))}$$

  • [class] CASE-ON <STLC>

    A term of an arbitrary type provided by casing on a coproduct term. The formal grammar of CASE-ON is

    (case-on on ltm rtm)

    where we can possibly include type information by

    (case-on on ltm rtm :ttype ttype)

    The intended semantics are as follows: [ON] is a term (and hence an STLC) of a coproduct type, and [LTM] and [RTM] terms (hence also STLC) of the same type in the context of - appropriately

    • (mcar (ttype on)) and (mcadr (ttype on)).

    This corresponds to the elimination rule of the coprodut type. Namely, given $$\Gamma \vdash \text{on : (coprod (mcar (ttype on)) (mcadr (ttype on)))}$$ and $$\text{(mcar (ttype on))} , \Gamma \vdash \text{ltm : (ttype ltm)}$$ , $$\text{(mcadr (ttype on))} , \Gamma \vdash \text{rtm : (ttype ltm)}$$ we get $$\Gamma \vdash \text{(case-on on ltm rtm) : (ttype ltm)}$$ Note that in practice we append contexts on the left as computation of INDEX is done from the left. Otherwise, the rules are the same as in usual type theory if context was read from right to left.

  • [class] PAIR <STLC>

    A term of the product type gotten by pairing a terms of a left and right parts of the product. The formal grammar of PAIR is

    (pair ltm rtm)

    where we can possibly include type information by

    (pair ltm rtm :ttype ttype)

    The intended semantics are as follows: [LTM] is a term (and hence an STLC) of a left part of the product type whose terms we are producing. [RTM] is a term (hence also STLC)of the right part of the product.

    The grammar corresponds to the introduction rule of the pair type. Given $$\Gamma \vdash \text{ltm : (mcar (ttype (pair ltm rtm)))}$$ and $$\Gamma \vdash \text{rtm : (mcadr (ttype (pair ltm rtm)))}$$ we have $$\Gamma \vdash \text{(pair ltm rtm) : (ttype (pair ltm rtm))}$$

  • [class] FST <STLC>

    The first projection of a term of a product type. The formal grammar of FST is:

    (fst term)

    where we can possibly include type information by

    (fst term :ttype ttype)

    The intended semantics are as follows: TERM is a term (and hence an STLC) of a product type, to whose left part we are projecting to.

    This corresponds to the first projection function gotten by induction on a term of a product type.

  • [class] SND <STLC>

    The second projection of a term of a product type. The formal grammar of SND is:

    (snd term)

    where we can possibly include type information by

    (snd term :ttype ttype)

    The intended semantics are as follows: TERM is a term (and hence an STLC) of a product type, to whose right part we are projecting to.

    This corresponds to the second projection function gotten by induction on a term of a product type.

  • [class] LAMB <STLC>

    A term of a function type gotten by providing a term in the codomain of the function type by assuming one is given variables in the specified list of types. LAMB takes in the TDOM accessor a list of types - and hence of SUBSTOBJ - and in the TERM a term - and hence an STLC. The formal grammar of LAMB is:

    (lamb tdom term)

    where we can possibly include type information by

    (lamb tdom term :ttype ttype)

    The intended semantics are: TDOM is a list of types (and hence a list of SUBSTOBJ) whose iterative product of components form the domain of the function type. TERM is a term (and hence an STLC) of the codomain of the function type gotten in the context to whom we append the list of the domains.

    For a list of length 1, corresponds to the introduction rule of the function type. Namely, given $$\Gamma \vdash \text{tdom : Type}$$ and $$\Gamma, \text{tdom} \vdash \text{term : (ttype term)}$$ we have $$\Gamma \vdash \text{(lamb tdom term) : (so-hom-obj tdom (ttype term))}$$

    For a list of length n, this corresponds to the iterated lambda type, e.g.

    (lamb (list so1 so0) (index 0))

    is a term of

    (so-hom-obj (prod so1 so0) so0)

    or equivalently

    (so-hom-obj so1 (so-hom-obj so0 so0))

    due to Geb's computational definition of the function type.

    Note that INDEX 0 in the above code is of type SO1. So that after annotating the term, one gets

    LAMBDA> (ttype (term (lamb (list so1 so0)) (index 0)))
s-1

    So the counting of indices starts with the leftmost argument for computational reasons. In practice, typing of LAMB corresponds with taking a list of arguments provided to a lambda term, making it a context in that order and then counting the index of the variable. Type-theoretically,

    $$\Gamma \vdash \lambda \Delta (index i)$$ $$\Delta, \Gamma \vdash (index i)$$

    So that by the operational semantics of INDEX, the type of (index i) in the above context will be the i'th element of the Delta context counted from the left. Note that in practice we append contexts on the left as computation of INDEX is done from the left. Otherwise, the rules are the same as in usual type theory if context was read from right to left.

  • [class] APP <STLC>

    A term of an arbitrary type gotten by applying a function of an iterated function type with a corresponding codomain iteratively to terms in the domains. APP takes as argument for the FUN accessor a function - and hence an STLC - whose function type has domain an iterated GEB:PROD of SUBSTOBJ and for the TERM a list of terms - and hence of STLC - matching the types of the product. The formal grammar of APP is

    (app fun term)

    where we can possibly include type information by

    (app fun term :ttype ttype)

    The intended semantics are as follows: FUN is a term (and hence an STLC) of a coproduct type - say of (so-hom-obj (ttype term) y) - and TERM is a list of terms (hence also of STLC) with nth term in the list having the n-th part of the function type.

    For a one-argument term list, this corresponds to the elimination rule of the function type. Given $$\Gamma \vdash \text{fun : (so-hom-obj (ttype term) y)}$$ and $$\Gamma \vdash \text{term : (ttype term)}$$ we get $$\Gamma \vdash \text{(app fun term) : y}$$

    For several arguments, this corresponds to successive function application. Using currying, this corresponds to, given

    G ⊢ (so-hom-obj (A₁ × ··· × Aₙ₋₁) Aₙ)
G ⊢ f : (so-hom-obj (A₁ × ··· × Aₙ₋₁)
G ⊢ tᵢ : Aᵢ

    then for each i less than n gets us

    G ⊢ (app f t₁ ··· tₙ₋₁) : Aₙ

    Note again that i'th term should correspond to the ith element of the product in the codomain counted from the left.

  • [class] INDEX <STLC>

    The variable term of an arbitrary type in a context. The formal grammar of INDEX is

    (index pos)

    where we can possibly include type information by

    (index pos :ttype ttype)

    The intended semantics are as follows: POS is a natural number indicating the position of a type in a context.

    This corresponds to the variable rule. Namely given a context $$\Gamma_1 , \ldots , \Gamma_{pos} , \ldots , \Gamma_k $$ we have

    $$\Gamma_1 , \ldots , \Gamma_k \vdash \text{(index pos) :} \Gamma_{pos}$$

    Note that we add contexts on the left rather than on the right contra classical type-theoretic notation.

  • [class] ERR <STLC>

    An error term of a type supplied by the user. The formal grammar of ERR is

    (err ttype)

    The intended semantics are as follows: ERR represents an error node currently having no particular feedback but with functionality to be of an arbitrary type. Note that this is the only STLC term class which does not have TTYPE a possibly empty accessor.

  • [class] PLUS <STLC>

    A term representing syntactic summation of two bits of the same width. The formal grammar of [PLUS] is

    (plus ltm rtm)

    where we can possibly supply typing info by

    (plus ltm rtm :ttype ttype)

    Note that the summation is ranged, so if the operation goes above the bit-size of supplied inputs, the corresponding Vamp-IR code will not verify.

  • [class] TIMES <STLC>

    A term representing syntactic multiplication of two bits of the same width. The formal grammar of [TIMES] is

    (times ltm rtm)

    where we can possibly supply typing info by

    (times ltm rtm :ttype ttype)

    Note that the multiplication is ranged, so if the operation goes above the bit-size of supplied inputs, the corresponding Vamp-IR code will not verify.

  • [class] MINUS <STLC>

    A term representing syntactic subtraction of two bits of the same width. The formal grammar of [MINUS] is

    (minus ltm rtm)

    where we can possibly supply typing info by

    (minus ltm rtm :ttype ttype)

    Note that the subtraction is ranged, so if the operation goes below zero, the corresponding Vamp-IR code will not verify.

  • [class] DIVIDE <STLC>

    A term representing syntactic division (floored) of two bits of the same width. The formal grammar of [DIVIDE] is

    (minus ltm rtm)

    where we can possibly supply typing info by

    (minus ltm rtm :ttype ttype)

  • [class] BIT-CHOICE <STLC>

    A term representing a choice of a bit. The formal grammar of [BIT-CHOICE] is

    (bit-choice bitv)

    where we can possibly supply typing info by

    (bit-choice bitv :ttype ttype)

    Note that the size of bits matter for the operations one supplies them to. E.g. (plus (bit-choice #*1) (bit-choice #*00)) is not going to pass our type-check, as both numbers ought to be of exact same bit-width.

  • [class] LAMB-EQ <STLC>

    lamb-eq predicate takes in two bit inputs of same bit-width and gives true if they are equal and false otherwise. Note that for the usual Vamp-IR code interpretations, that means that we associate true with left input into bool and false with the right. Appropriately, in Vamp-IR the first branch will be associated with the 0 input and the second branch with 1.

  • [class] LAMB-LT <STLC>

    lamb-lt predicate takes in two bit inputs of same bit-width and gives true if ltm is less than rtm and false otherwise. Note that for the usual Vamp-IR code interpretations, that means that we associate true with left input into bool and false with the right. Appropriately, in Vamp-IR the first branch will be associated with the 0 input and the second branch with 1.

  • [class] MODULO <STLC>

    A term representing syntactic modulus of the first number by the second number. The formal grammar of [MODULO] is

    (modulo ltm rtm)

    where we can possibly supply typing info by

    (modulo ltm rtm :ttype ttype)

    meaning that we take ltm mod rtm

13.2 Main functionality

[in package GEB.LAMBDA.MAIN]

This covers the main API for the STLC module

  • [generic-function] ANN-TERM1 CTX TTERM

    Given a list of SUBSTOBJ objects with SO-HOM-OBJ occurrences replaced by FUN-TYPE and an STLC similarly replacing type occurrences of the hom object to FUN-TYPE, provides the TTYPE accessor to all subterms as well as the term itself, using FUN-TYPE. Once again, note that it is important for the context and term to be giving as per above description. While not always, not doing so result in an error upon evaluation. As an example of a valid entry we have

     (ann-term1 (list so1 (fun-type so1 so1)) (app (index 1) (list (index 0))))

    while

    (ann-term1 (list so1 (so-hom-obj so1 so1)) (app (index 1) (list (index 0))))

    produces an error trying to use. This warning applies to other functions taking in context and terms below as well.

    Moreover, note that for terms whose typing needs addition of new context we append contexts on the left rather than on the right contra usual type theoretic notation for the convenience of computation. That means, e.g. that asking for a type of a lambda term as below produces:

    LAMBDA> (ttype (term (ann-term1 (lambda (list so1 so0) (index 0)))))
s-1

    as we count indices from the left of the context while appending new types to the context on the left as well. For more info check LAMB

  • [function] INDEX-CHECK I CTX

    Given an natural number I and a context, checks that the context is of length at least I and then produces the Ith entry of the context counted from the left starting with 0.

  • [function] FUN-TO-HOM T1

    Given a SUBSTOBJ whose subobjects might have a FUN-TYPE occurrence replaces all occurrences of FUN-TYPE with a suitable SO-HOM-OBJ, hence giving a pure SUBSTOBJ

    LAMBDA> (fun-to-hom (fun-type geb-bool:bool geb-bool:bool))
(× (+ GEB-BOOL:FALSE GEB-BOOL:TRUE) (+ GEB-BOOL:FALSE GEB-BOOL:TRUE))

  • [function] ANN-TERM2 TTERM

    Given an STLC term with a TTYPE accessor from ANN-TERM1 - i.e. including possible FUN-TYPE occurrences - re-annotates the term and its subterms with actual SUBSTOBJ objects.

  • [function] ANNOTATED-TERM CTX TERM

    Given a context consisting of a list of SUBSTOBJ with occurrences of SO-HOM-OBJ replaced by FUN-TYPE and an STLC term with similarly replaced occurrences of SO-HOM-OBJ, provides an STLC with all subterms typed, i.e. providing the TTYPE accessor, which is a pure SUBSTOBJ

  • [function] TYPE-OF-TERM-W-FUN CTX TTERM

    Given a context consisting of a list of SUBSTOBJ with occurrences of SO-HOM-OBJ replaced by FUN-TYPE and an STLC term with similarly replaced occurrences of SO-HOM-OBJ, gives out a type of the whole term with occurrences of SO-HOM-OBJ replaced by FUN-TYPE.

  • [function] TYPE-OF-TERM CTX TTERM

    Given a context consisting of a list of SUBSTOBJ with occurrences of SO-HOM-OBJ replaced by FUN-TYPE and an STLC term with similarly replaced occurrences of SO-HOM-OBJ, provides the type of the whole term, which is a pure SUBSTOBJ.

  • [generic-function] WELL-DEFP CTX TTERM

    Given a context consisting of a list of SUBSTOBJ with occurrences of SO-HOM-OBJ replaced by FUN-TYPE and an STLC term with similarly replaced occurrences of SO-HOM-OBJ, checks that the term is well-defined in the context based on structural rules of simply typed lambda calculus. returns the t if it is, otherwise returning nil

  • [class] FUN-TYPE DIRECT-POINTWISE-MIXIN CAT-OBJ

    Stand-in for the SO-HOM-OBJ object. It does not have any computational properties and can be seen as just a function of two arguments with accessors MCAR to the first argument and MCADR to the second argument. There is an evident canonical way to associate FUN-TYPE and SO-HOM-OBJ pointwise.

  • [function] FUN-TYPE MCAR MCADR

  • [function] ERRORP TTERM

    Evaluates to true iff the term has an error subterm.

  • [function] REDUCER TTERM

    Reduces a given Lambda term by applying explicit beta-reduction when possible alongside arithmetic simplification. We assume that the lambda and app terms are 1-argument

  • [accessor] MCAR FUN-TYPE (:MCAR)

  • [accessor] MCADR FUN-TYPE (:MCADR)

13.3 Transition Functions

[in package GEB.LAMBDA.TRANS]

These functions deal with transforming the data structure to other data types

One important note about the lambda conversions is that all transition functions except [TO-CAT] do not take a context.

Thus if the [<STLC>] term contains free variables, then call [TO-CAT] and give it the desired context before calling any other transition functions

  • [method] TO-CAT CONTEXT (TTERM <STLC>)

    Compiles a checked term in said context to a Geb morphism. If the term has an instance of an error term, wraps it in a Maybe monad, otherwise, compiles according to the term model interpretation of STLC

  • [method] TO-POLY (OBJ <STLC>)

    I convert a lambda term into a [GEB.POLY.SPEC:POLY] term

    Note that [<STLC>] terms with free variables require a context, and we do not supply them here to conform to the standard interface

    If you want to give a context, please call [to-cat] before calling me

  • [method] TO-BITC (OBJ <STLC>)

    I convert a lambda term into a [GEB.BITC.SPEC:BITC] term

    Note that [<STLC>] terms with free variables require a context, and we do not supply them here to conform to the standard interface

    If you want to give a context, please call [to-cat] before calling me

  • [method] TO-SEQN (OBJ <STLC>)

    I convert a lambda term into a [GEB.SEQN.SPEC:SEQN] term

    Note that [<STLC>] terms with free variables require a context, and we do not supply them here to conform to the standard interface

    If you want to give a context, please call [to-cat] before calling me

  • [method] TO-CIRCUIT (OBJ <STLC>) NAME

    I convert a lambda term into a vampir term

    Note that [<STLC>] terms with free variables require a context, and we do not supply them here to conform to the standard interface

    If you want to give a context, please call [to-cat] before calling me

13.3.1 Utility Functionality

These are utility functions relating to translating lambda terms to other types

  • [function] STLC-CTX-TO-MU CONTEXT

    Converts a generic (CODE ) context into a SUBSTMORPH. Note that usually contexts can be interpreted in a category as a $Sigma$-type$, which in a non-dependent setting gives us a usual PROD

    LAMBDA> (stlc-ctx-to-mu (list so1 (fun-to-hom (fun-type geb-bool:bool geb-bool:bool))))
(× s-1
   (× (+ GEB-BOOL:FALSE GEB-BOOL:TRUE) (+ GEB-BOOL:FALSE GEB-BOOL:TRUE))
   s-1)

  • [function] SO-HOM DOM COD

    Computes the hom-object of two [SUBSTMORPH]s

14 Mixins

[in package GEB.MIXINS]

Various mixins of the project. Overall all these offer various services to the rest of the project

14.1 Pointwise Mixins

Here we provide various mixins that deal with classes in a pointwise manner. Normally, objects can not be compared in a pointwise manner, instead instances are compared. This makes functional idioms like updating a slot in a pure manner (allocating a new object), or even checking if two objects are EQUAL-able adhoc. The pointwise API, however, derives the behavior and naturally allows such idioms

  • [class] POINTWISE-MIXIN

    Provides the service of giving point wise operations to classes

Further we may wish to hide any values inherited from our superclass due to this we can instead compare only the slots defined directly in our class

  • [class] DIRECT-POINTWISE-MIXIN POINTWISE-MIXIN

    Works like POINTWISE-MIXIN, however functions on [POINTWISE-MIXIN] will only operate on direct-slots instead of all slots the class may contain.

    Further all DIRECT-POINTWISE-MIXIN's are [POINTWISE-MIXIN]'s

14.2 Pointwise API

These are the general API functions on any class that have the POINTWISE-MIXIN service.

Functions like TO-POINTWISE-LIST allow generic list traversal APIs to be built off the key-value pair of the raw object form, while OBJ-EQUALP allows the checking of functional equality between objects. Overall the API is focused on allowing more generic operations on classes that make them as useful for generic data traversal as LIST(0 1)'s are

  • [generic-function] TO-POINTWISE-LIST OBJ

    Turns a given object into a pointwise LIST(0 1). listing the KEYWORD slot-name next to their value.

  • [generic-function] OBJ-EQUALP OBJECT1 OBJECT2

    Compares objects with pointwise equality. This is a much weaker form of equality comparison than STANDARD-OBJECT EQUALP, which does the much stronger pointer quality

  • [generic-function] POINTWISE-SLOTS OBJ

    Works like C2MOP:COMPUTE-SLOTS however on the object rather than the class

  • [function] MAP-POINTWISE FUNCTION OBJ

  • [function] REDUCE-POINTWISE FUNCTION OBJ INITIAL

14.3 Mixins Examples

Let's see some example uses of POINTWISE-MIXIN:

(obj-equalp (geb:terminal geb:so1)
            (geb:terminal geb:so1))
=> t

(to-pointwise-list (geb:coprod geb:so1 geb:so1))
=> ((:MCAR . s-1) (:MCADR . s-1))

14.4 Metadata Mixin

Metadata is a form of meta information about a particular object. Having metadata about an object may be useful if the goal requires annotating some data with type information, identification information, or even various levels of compiler information. The possibilities are endless and are a standard technique.

For this task we offer the META-MIXIN which will allow metadata to be stored for any type that uses its service.

  • [class] META-MIXIN

    Use my service if you want to have metadata capabilities associated with the given object. Performance covers my performance characteristics

For working with the structure it is best to have operations to treat it like an ordinary hashtable

  • [function] META-INSERT OBJECT KEY VALUE &KEY WEAK

    Inserts a value into storage. If the key is a one time object, then the insertion is considered to be volatile, which can be reclaimed when no more references to the data exists.

    If the data is however a constant like a string, then the insertion is considered to be long lived and will always be accessible

    The :weak keyword specifies if the pointer stored in the value is weak

  • [function] META-LOOKUP OBJECT KEY

    Lookups the requested key in the metadata table of the object. We look past weak pointers if they exist

14.4.1 Performance

The data stored is at the CLASS level. So having your type take the META-MIXIN does interfere with the cache.

Due to concerns about meta information being populated over time, the table which it is stored with is in a weak hashtable, so if the object that the metadata is about gets deallocated, so does the metadata table.

The full layout can be observed from this interaction

;; any class that uses the service
(defparameter *x* (make-instance 'meta-mixin))

(meta-insert *x* :a 3)

(defparameter *y* (make-instance 'meta-mixin))

(meta-insert *y* :b 3)

(defparameter *z* (make-instance 'meta-mixin))

;; where {} is a hashtable
{*x* {:a 3}
 *y* {:b 3}}

Since *z* does not interact with storage no overhead of storage is had. Further if `x goes out of scope, gc would reclaim the table leaving

{*y* {:b 3}}

for the hashtable.

Even the tables inside each object's map are weak, thus we can make storage inside metadata be separated into volatile and stable storage.

15 Geb Utilities

[in package GEB.UTILS]

The Utilities package provides general utility functionality that is used throughout the GEB codebase

  • [type] LIST-OF TY

    Allows us to state a list contains a given type.

    NOTE

    This does not type check the whole list, but only the first element. This is an issue with how lists are defined in the language. Thus this should be be used for intent purposes.

    For a more proper version that checks all elements please look at writing code like

    (deftype normal-form-list ()
  `(satisfies normal-form-list))

(defun normal-form-list (list)
  (and (listp list)
       (every (lambda (x) (typep x 'normal-form)) list)))

(deftype normal-form ()
  `(or wire constant))

    Example usage of this can be used with typep

    (typep '(1 . 23) '(list-of fixnum))
=> NIL

(typep '(1 23) '(list-of fixnum))
=> T

(typep '(1 3 4 "hi" 23) '(list-of fixnum))
=> T

(typep '(1 23 . 5) '(list-of fixnum))
=> T

    Further this can be used in type signatures

    (-> foo (fixnum) (list-of fixnum))
(defun foo (x)
  (list x))

  • [function] SYMBOL-TO-KEYWORD SYMBOL

    Turns a [symbol] into a [keyword]

  • [macro] MUFFLE-PACKAGE-VARIANCE &REST PACKAGE-DECLARATIONS

    Muffle any errors about package variance and stating exports out of order. This is particularly an issue for SBCL as it will error when using MGL-PAX to do the [export] instead of DEFPACKAGE.

    This is more modular thank MGL-PAX:DEFINE-PACKAGE in that this can be used with any package creation function like UIOP:DEFINE-PACKAGE.

    Here is an example usage:

         (geb.utils:muffle-package-variance
       (uiop:define-package #:geb.lambda.trans
         (:mix #:trivia #:geb #:serapeum #:common-lisp)
         (:export
          :compile-checked-term :stlc-ctx-to-mu)))

  • [function] SUBCLASS-RESPONSIBILITY OBJ

    Denotes that the given method is the subclasses responsibility. Inspired from Smalltalk

  • [function] SHALLOW-COPY-OBJECT ORIGINAL

  • [generic-function] COPY-INSTANCE OBJECT &REST INITARGS &KEY &ALLOW-OTHER-KEYS

    Makes and returns a shallow copy of OBJECT.

    An uninitialized object of the same class as OBJECT is allocated by calling ALLOCATE-INSTANCE. For all slots returned by CLASS-SLOTS, the returned object has the same slot values and slot-unbound status as OBJECT.

    REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE is called to update the copy with INITARGS.

  • [macro] MAKE-PATTERN OBJECT-NAME &REST CONSTRUCTOR-NAMES

    make pattern matching position style instead of record style. This removes the record constructor style, however it can be brought back if wanted

    (defclass alias (<substmorph> <substobj>)
  ((name :initarg :name
         :accessor name
         :type     symbol
         :documentation "The name of the GEB object")
   (obj :initarg :obj
        :accessor obj
        :documentation "The underlying geb object"))
  (:documentation "an alias for a geb object"))

(make-pattern alias name obj)

  • [function] NUMBER-TO-DIGITS NUMBER &OPTIONAL REM

    turns an INTEGER into a list of its digits

  • [function] DIGIT-TO-UNDER DIGIT

    Turns a digit into a subscript string version of the number

  • [function] NUMBER-TO-UNDER INDEX

    Turns an INTEGER into a subscripted STRING

  • [function] APPLY-N TIMES F INITIAL

    Applies a function, f, n TIMES to the INITIAL values

    GEB> (apply-n 10 #'1+ 0)
10 (4 bits, #xA, #o12, #b1010)

15.1 Accessors

These functions are generic lenses of the GEB codebase. If a class is defined, where the names are not known, then these accessors are likely to be used. They may even augment existing classes.

  • [generic-function] MCAR X

    Can be seen as calling CAR on a generic CLOS object

  • [generic-function] MCADR X

    like MCAR but for the CADR

  • [generic-function] MCADDR X

    like MCAR but for the CADDR

  • [generic-function] MCADDDR OBJ

    like MCAR but for the CADDDR

  • [generic-function] MCDR X

    Similar to MCAR, however acts like a CDR for [classes] that we wish to view as a SEQUENCE

  • [generic-function] OBJ X

    Grabs the underlying object

  • [generic-function] NAME X

    the name of the given object

  • [generic-function] FUNC X

    the function of the object

    the PREDICATE of the object

  • [generic-function] THEN X

    the then branch of the object

16 Testing

[in package GEB-TEST]

We use parachute as our testing framework.

Please read the manual for extra features and how to better lay out future tests

  • [function] RUN-TESTS &KEY (INTERACTIVE? NIL) (SUMMARY? NIL) (PLAIN? T) (DESIGNATORS '(GEB-TEST-SUITE))

    Here we run all the tests. We have many flags to determine how the tests ought to work

    (run-tests :plain? nil :interactive? t) ==> 'interactive
(run-tests :summary? t :interactive? t) ==> 'noisy-summary
(run-tests :interactive? t)             ==> 'noisy-interactive
(run-tests :summary? t)                 ==> 'summary
(run-tests)                             ==> 'plain

(run-tests :designators '(geb geb.lambda)) ==> run only those packages

  • [function] RUN-TESTS-ERROR

  • [function] CODE-COVERAGE &OPTIONAL PATH

    generates code coverage, for CCL the coverage can be found at

    CCL test coverage

    SBCL test coverage

    simply run this function to generate a fresh one
