We no longer use this repository to create new rules.
The Sedenion Rule Creator is a powerful tool designed to facilitate the creation of mathematical rule sets utilized within the Sedenion Engine. This repository serves as the official source for the tool, providing developers with the means to craft custom rule sets to enhance the functionality of the Sedenion Engine.
To use the Sedenion Rule Creator effectively, follow these simple steps:
-
Begin by defining your desired rules in the
rules.infile. The syntax for expressing these rules is comprehensively described here. -
Once the rules have been specified in the
rules.infile, proceed to build and run this repository using the commandcargo run. -
Upon successful execution, the newly generated rules will be made available in the
rules.rsfile, ready for integration into the Sedenion Engine.
The Sedenion Rule Creator supports a versatile and intuitive syntax for defining rules. Key aspects of the syntax include:
-
Numbers, functions, and operands follow the conventions established in other Sedenion products, and they are matched precisely within the engine.
-
Comments are denoted with double slashes at the start of the line (
//) and last the entire file. Comments are ignored. There should not be comments between "from" and "to" states. -
$L[n]: Represents fixed constants, such as numerical values or specific characters. Usage:$L1or$L42. -
$[n]: Acts as a placeholder or wildcard, matching any subexpression in the corresponding position on the left-hand side (pattern) of the rule. Unlike$L[n], this symbol is not limited to literal values and can encompass any expression. Usage$1or$42. -
When defining rules in the
rules.infile, adhere to the following pattern:
<rule from>
<rule to>
<blank line>
<rule from>
<rule to>
<blank line>
...
Please note that all "from" states must possess greater complexity than the "to" state, although this is not enforced in any way.
