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 filetrans-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

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:
C-c t→ Main menup→ Proof menun→ Step forward (mode-line: RED → YELLOW → GREEN)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

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))))))
Performance
| Operation | Latency | Notes | |-----------|---------|-------| | Proof step forward | <50ms | With color update | | Mode-line color update | <5ms | Face attribute change | | Auto-prove attempt | 100-500ms | Depends on tactic | | Stellogen execution | 50-200ms | Depends on constellation size | | GF(3) conservation check | <10ms | Per 1000 states |
