Workspaces and Merge over syntactic objects #
[MCB25] §1.2–1.4. The single-carrier program's P1b: the
Merge and workspace layer over the SO syntactic objects (SyntacticObject.lean).
This is additive — it does not touch the legacy SyntacticObject/Step/Derivation
(FreeCommMagma (LIToken ⊕ Nat)); flipping SyntacticObject := SO and retiring
the ⊕ Nat index is P2.
What this file connects #
The Merge algebra already lives on ConnesKreimer ℤ (Nonplanar α) (the #424
work, Merge/External.lean + Merge/Internal.lean): mergeOp_pair realizes
External Merge (Lemma 1.4.1) and mergeOp_im_composition realizes Internal Merge
as a two-stage composition (Prop 1.4.2). This file gives the syntactic surface
on the carrier — workspaces, the bare-binary-node Merge primitive, the index-free
trace leaf — and relates each to the algebra by theorem.
Bare internals, index-free traces (§1.1.3.1, §1.15, Def 1.2.1) #
The carrier puts bare Sum.inr () on internal nodes (the head comes from the
separate §1.15 head function, not the object) and on trace leaves (a moved
element leaves a bare vertex; chain identity is read at the workspace level, MCB
Def 1.2.1, not from a per-leaf index). So External and Internal Merge here both
build a bare binary node — distinct from the legacy head-decorated toNonplanar
bridges (mergeOp_emR_matches_Step, which graft Sum.inl L); those are the head
function applied, and P3/P4 retire them.
Computability discipline #
Nonplanar.node, mergeOp, and the coproduct are noncomputable (the Hopf
machinery round-trips through Quotient.out). So SO.merge/SO.intMerge are
noncomputable, and studies must state result trees directly (built computably
via Nonplanar.mk ∘ RoseTree.node, then decide on IsSO) and relate them to Merge
by theorem — never compute Merge under decide. merge_mk is the construction
bridge; the #eval-free decide examples at the end confirm the discipline holds
on this carrier (the P1 spike, now as carrier tests).
Workspaces (MCB Def 1.2.1) #
The carrier Merge operators SO.merge (Lemma 1.4.1) and SO.intMerge (Prop 1.4.2) are
defined in SyntacticObject/Build.lean (they need only the bare binary node); this file
adds their coproduct identity on the workspace Hopf algebra.
A workspace is a forest (finite multiset) of syntactic objects
([MCB25] Def 1.2.1). The forest product is disjoint
union (+ on Multiset), with unit the empty forest (0); a well-formed
workspace is nonempty. Forest is the algebra's forest type, so a workspace is
exactly what of' lifts into ConnesKreimer ℤ (Nonplanar SOLabel).
Equations
Instances For
A moved element occupies repeated isomorphic components of the workspace; the
number of copies is their multiplicity ([MCB25]
Def 1.2.1: "those isomorphism classes are the chain"). Decidable now that the
carrier has DecidableEq SO (#792) — this is the workspace-level chain identity
that replaces the legacy ⊕ Nat trace index.

External Merge: bridge to the algebra (Lemma 1.4.1) #
External Merge ↔ algebra ([MCB25] Lemma 1.4.1,
F̂ = ∅). The algebraic Merge mergeOp (Sum.inr ()) on the 2-object workspace
{S, S'} yields the singleton workspace of the carrier Merge SO.merge S S'.
The root label is the bare Sum.inr () — the faithful departure from the
head-decorated legacy bridge.
Internal Merge as composition (MCB Prop 1.4.2) #
Internal Merge ↔ algebra ([MCB25] Prop 1.4.2). Given
the Δ^ρ cut data on T extracting mover with remainder remainder (the unique
crown-{mover} summand p0, p0.2 = remainder.val, T ≠ mover), the two-stage
composition mergeOp (inr ()) ∘ mergeOpUnit mover over {T} yields the singleton
workspace of SO.intMerge mover remainder. This is mergeOp_im_composition
transported to the carrier with the IsSO-carrying result.
decide demonstrations (the P1 computability spike, as carrier tests) #
Confirms: trace/lexical leaves are well-formed; an IM-result-shaped tree — a bare
binary node over a lexical leaf and a bare trace leaf — built directly via planar
.node is IsSO and decide-able even though the Merge operator is
noncomputable; ill-formed shapes are rejected.
