Hypergraph Semantic Engine
Reference: This page is a source-based technical synthesis of the LaTeX chapter cited below. For exact syntax, availability or ABI signatures, verify the versioned source, manifest and executable tests.
Scope and source boundary
The semantic engine is the compiled semantic layer; do not conflate it with source declarations or a host language execution engine.
The conceptual Hypergraph represents concepts, instances, and relations rather than a simple collection of binary edges. Its structure preserves semantic roles and supports querying conceptual compositions. Native graph construction and construction through H-Logic are different authoring surfaces for the semantic layer; the source guides distinguish them from application metadata and runtime execution objects.
Engineering rules
- Identify concept types and instances before defining relations.
- Preserve the identity and role mapping of a polyadic relation during traversal or query.
- Keep the semantic representation distinct from a visual projection or an execution cache.
- Use the source contract when choosing direct native construction or an H-Logic parser.
