Functor Framework

A Phenomenological Type System for Lossless DAG-Based Isomorphic Modeling

---

Overview

The Functor Framework introduces a novel phenomodel-based type system that separates heterogeneous functors (He) from homogeneous functors (Ho) through set-theoretic relations and UML cardinality mappings. This enables lossless DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) modeling with O(log n) auxiliary space complexity enforcement.

Core Innovation

F[He, Ho] where:
  He = Heterogeneous Functor (works on mixed data types)
  Ho = Homogeneous Functor (works on uniform data types)
  
Relation:
  ∀ He ⊃ Ho  (All He contains some Ho)
  ∃ Ho ⊄ He  (Not all Ho is He)

Real-world analogy:

• All binders are drivers (He ⊃ Ho)
• All squares are rectangles (He ⊃ Ho)
• NOT all drivers are binders (Ho ⊄ He)
• NOT all rectangles are squares (Ho ⊄ He)

Problem Domain

Traditional type systems fail to model phenotype-phenomemory-phenovalue relationships with:

1. Lossless transformations during DAG traversal
2. Isomorphic mappings between problem and solution domains
3. Set-theoretic cardinality enforcement at compile-time

Solution: Phenomodel-Based UML Class System

The Functor Framework uses UML cardinality extended with set theory operators to create a phenomenological clustering system:

Cardinality Relations

1..*   → One to Many (Driver must have ≥1 bound callees)
0..*   → Zero to Many (Optional relationship)
0..1   → Zero to One (Optional singleton)
*..*   → Many to Many (Graph topology)

Set-Theoretic Operations

For Lossless Models:

• Union (∪): Time × Paired with Union Set = Lossless DAG
• Pairing: Direct action triple (context, relation, time)

For Lossy/Isomorphic Models:

• Disjoint (⊔): Divided paired with Disjoint Set = Isomorphic DAG
• Separation: Context-aware relation resolution

Architecture: Verb-Action-Actor Model (OBINexus)

Traditional Object Model (WRONG)

class BlueCar:
    pass

class RedCar:
    pass

# Problem: Type defines behavior (color ≠ behavior)

Functor Framework Model (CORRECT)

# Noun: Car (Phenotype)
class Car:
    pass

# Verb: Drive (Phenomemory - captured action)
class Drive:
    pass

# Actor: Consumer/Observer (Phenovalue - who acts)
class Driver:
    pass

# Instantiation Variation (adjectives for coherence operation)
blue = ColorVariation("blue")
red = ColorVariation("red")

# Resolve Car function over Actor-Observer-Consumer model
car_instance = Car()
drive_action = Drive()
driver_actor = Driver()

# Functor operates on (Actor, Action, Noun, Variation)
functor_result = F(driver_actor, drive_action, car_instance, blue)

Key Insight:

• Noun = Car (the thing)
• Verb = Drive (the action/memory)
• Actor = Driver (who observes/consumes)
• Adjective = blue/red (instantiation variation for operation coherence)

This separates WHAT (noun) from HOW (verb) from WHO (actor) from VARIATION (adjective).

Phenotype Classification Rules

Primary Object is Phenotypical If:

1. Object-Consumer-Object Model is defined
2. Operator Divide ↔ Disjoint (set operation pairing)
3. Class represents an observable state

Example: Car Classification

// Phenotype: Observable system state
struct Car {
    color: ColorVariation, // Instantiation variation
    state: DrivingState,   // Phenomemory token
}

// Phenomemory: Captured driving action
struct Drive {
    actor: Driver,
    timestamp: Time,
    context: Context,
}

// Phenovalue: Derived value from observation
struct DrivingEffect {
    distance: f64,
    fuel_consumed: f64,
}

// Functor operates on phenotype → phenomemory → phenovalue
impl Functor for CarDrivingFunctor {
    fn map(phenotype: Car, action: Drive) -> DrivingEffect {
        // Lossless transformation with O(log n) aux space
    }
}

Set Theory Integration

Lossless DAG (Union-Based)

Lossless Model = Time ⊗ (Union Set)

Where:
  Time = Temporal execution boundary
  Union Set = ∪ {all possible states}
  ⊗ = Pairing operation

Result: No information loss during DAG traversal

Isomorphic DAG (Disjoint-Based)

Isomorphic Model = Division ⊘ (Disjoint Set)

Where:
  Division = Separation of concerns
  Disjoint Set = ⊔ {independent partitions}
  ⊘ = Divide-pair operation

Result: Context-aware relation resolution

UML Cardinality Extensions

Standard UML

Class A ----1..*---- Class B  (A has 1 or more B)
Class C ----0..1---- Class D  (C has 0 or 1 D)

Functor Framework Extensions

Class A ====∪==== Class B  (A union B = Lossless)
Class C ====⊔==== Class D  (C disjoint D = Isomorphic)
Class E ====⊗==== Class F  (E paired with F = Temporal)

Mapping Rules:

UML Cardinality	Set Operation	DAG Property
1..*	Union (∪)	Lossless expansion
0..*	Powerset (℘)	Optional relations
0..1	Singleton (∅ ∪ {x})	Nullable reference
*..*	Cartesian (×)	Graph topology

Quick Start

1. Define Heterogeneous Functor (He)

use functor_framework::prelude::*;

// He: Works on mixed data types
struct HeterogeneousFunctor<A, B> {
    phenotype_a: PhantomData<A>,
    phenotype_b: PhantomData<B>,
}

impl<A, B> Functor for HeterogeneousFunctor<A, B> {
    type Input = (A, B);  // Mixed types
    type Output = PhantomData<(A, B)>;
    
    fn map(&self, input: Self::Input) -> Self::Output {
        // Lossless transformation with O(log n) aux
        PhantomData
    }
}

2. Define Homogeneous Functor (Ho)

// Ho: Works on uniform data types
struct HomogeneousFunctor<T> {
    phenotype: PhantomData<T>,
}

impl<T> Functor for HomogeneousFunctor<T> {
    type Input = T;  // Single type
    type Output = T;
    
    fn map(&self, input: Self::Input) -> Self::Output {
        // Homogeneous transformation
        input
    }
}

3. Enforce He ⊃ Ho Relation

// Prove all He contains Ho
fn verify_containment<He, Ho>()
where
    He: HeterogeneousFunctor,
    Ho: HomogeneousFunctor,
{
    // Compile-time verification that He ⊃ Ho
    let _proof: ContainmentProof<He, Ho> = ContainmentProof::new();
}

Examples

Example 1: Car Driving System

// Phenotype: What we observe
struct Car {
    color: Color,
    speed: f64,
}

// Phenomemory: What we capture
struct DrivingSession {
    start_time: Time,
    end_time: Time,
    actor: Driver,
}

// Phenovalue: What we derive
struct TripSummary {
    distance: f64,
    fuel_used: f64,
}

// Functor: He (works on Car, DrivingSession, Driver)
struct DrivingFunctor;

impl Functor for DrivingFunctor {
    type Input = (Car, DrivingSession);
    type Output = TripSummary;
    
    fn map(&self, input: Self::Input) -> Self::Output {
        let (car, session) = input;
        // Lossless calculation with O(log n) aux
        TripSummary {
            distance: calculate_distance(&session),
            fuel_used: calculate_fuel(&car, &session),
        }
    }
}

Example 2: Binding Flow (Caller/Callee)

// All binders are drivers (He ⊃ Ho)
trait Driver {}  // Ho: Homogeneous behavior
trait Binder: Driver {}  // He: Heterogeneous behavior

struct FunctionCaller;
struct FunctionCallee;

// Binder links caller to callee
impl Binder for FunctionCaller {
    fn bind(&self, callee: FunctionCallee) -> BoundContext {
        // DAG-based linking with O(log n) complexity
    }
}

// Not all drivers are binders (Ho ⊄ He)
struct SimpleDriver;
impl Driver for SimpleDriver {}
// SimpleDriver does NOT implement Binder

Key Concepts

1. He vs Ho Separation

Aspect	He (Heterogeneous)	Ho (Homogeneous)
Types	Mixed (A, B, C)	Uniform (T)
Complexity	Higher	Lower
Use Case	Real-world modeling	Optimization
Example	(Car, Driver, Road)	Vec<i32>

2. Phenomodel Triple

Phenotype (Observable)
    ↓ observe()
Phenomemory (Captured)
    ↓ consume()
Phenovalue (Derived)

3. Set Operations

• Union (∪): Combine without loss
• Disjoint (⊔): Separate with context
• Pairing (⊗): Link with time
• Division (⊘): Separate concerns
