Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• NumPy 1.20+
• Rust toolchain 1.90+ (for building from source only)

Quick Start

Basic Example: Logical Rules

import pytensorlogic as tl
import numpy as np

# Create logical expressions
x = tl.var("x")
y = tl.var("y")

# Define a predicate: knows(x, y)
knows = tl.pred("knows", [x, y])

# Compile to tensor graph
graph = tl.compile(knows)

# Create input data (100 people, adjacency matrix)
knows_matrix = np.random.rand(100, 100)

# Execute the graph
result = tl.execute(graph, {"knows": knows_matrix})
print(result["output"])

Quantifiers: Existential and Universal

import pytensorlogic as tl
import numpy as np

# ∃y. knows(x, y) - "x knows someone"
x = tl.var("x")
y = tl.var("y")
knows = tl.pred("knows", [x, y])
knows_someone = tl.exists("y", "Person", knows)

# Compile and execute
graph = tl.compile(knows_someone)
knows_matrix = np.random.rand(100, 100)
result = tl.execute(graph, {"knows": knows_matrix})

# Result shape: (100,) - one value per person
print(f"Shape: {result['output'].shape}")

Implication Rules

import pytensorlogic as tl

# Rule: knows(x,y) ∧ knows(y,z) → knows(x,z) (transitivity)
x, y, z = tl.var("x"), tl.var("y"), tl.var("z")

knows_xy = tl.pred("knows", [x, y])
knows_yz = tl.pred("knows", [y, z])
knows_xz = tl.pred("knows", [x, z])

premise = tl.and_(knows_xy, knows_yz)
rule = tl.imply(premise, knows_xz)

# Wrap in universal quantifier
transitivity = tl.forall("y", "Person", rule)

# Compile
graph = tl.compile(transitivity)

Arithmetic and Comparisons

import pytensorlogic as tl

# Arithmetic: age(x) + 5
age_x = tl.pred("age", [tl.var("x")])
age_plus_5 = tl.add(age_x, tl.constant(5.0))

# Comparison: age(x) > 18
adult = tl.gt(age_x, tl.constant(18.0))

# Conditional: if age(x) > 18 then mature else young
classification = tl.if_then_else(
    adult,
    tl.constant(1.0),  # mature
    tl.constant(0.0)   # young
)

Compilation Strategies

TensorLogic supports multiple logic semantics through compilation configurations:

import pytensorlogic as tl

# Soft differentiable (default) - for neural network training
config = tl.CompilationConfig.soft_differentiable()

# Hard Boolean - discrete logic
config = tl.CompilationConfig.hard_boolean()

# Fuzzy logic variants
config = tl.CompilationConfig.fuzzy_godel()
config = tl.CompilationConfig.fuzzy_product()
config = tl.CompilationConfig.fuzzy_lukasiewicz()

# Probabilistic interpretation
config = tl.CompilationConfig.probabilistic()

# Use custom config
graph = tl.compile_with_config(expr, config)

Compilation Strategy Comparison

Strategy	AND	OR	NOT	Use Case
soft_differentiable	Product	Probabilistic sum	Complement	Neural training (default)
hard_boolean	Min	Max	Complement	Discrete reasoning
fuzzy_godel	Min	Max	Complement	Gödel fuzzy logic
fuzzy_product	Product	Probabilistic sum	Complement	Product fuzzy logic
fuzzy_lukasiewicz	Łukasiewicz	Łukasiewicz	Complement	Łukasiewicz logic
probabilistic	Product (indep.)	Probabilistic sum	Complement	Probability theory

Advanced Features

Backend Selection

Choose the best backend for your hardware:

import pytensorlogic as tl

# Get backend capabilities
caps = tl.get_backend_capabilities(tl.Backend.SCIRS2_CPU)
print(f"Backend: {caps.name} v{caps.version}")
print(f"Devices: {caps.devices}")
print(f"Features: {caps.features}")

# List available backends
backends = tl.list_available_backends()
print(backends)  # {'Auto': True, 'SciRS2CPU': True, 'SciRS2SIMD': True, 'SciRS2GPU': False}

# Execute with specific backend (SIMD for 2-4x speedup)
result = tl.execute(graph, inputs, backend=tl.Backend.SCIRS2_SIMD)

# Get system information
info = tl.get_system_info()
print(f"TensorLogic v{info['tensorlogic_version']}")
print(f"Default backend: {info['default_backend']}")

Domain Management and Symbol Tables

Build rich semantic models with domain metadata:

import pytensorlogic as tl

# Create symbol table
symbol_table = tl.symbol_table()

# Define domains
person_domain = tl.domain_info("Person", cardinality=100)
person_domain.set_description("Domain of all people in the network")
person_domain.set_elements(["alice", "bob", "charlie"])

symbol_table.add_domain(person_domain)

# Define predicates with signatures
knows_pred = tl.predicate_info("knows", ["Person", "Person"])
knows_pred.set_description("Binary relation: x knows y")
symbol_table.add_predicate(knows_pred)

# Bind variables to domains
symbol_table.bind_variable("x", "Person")

# Automatic inference from expressions
expr = tl.pred("knows", [tl.var("x"), tl.var("y")])
symbol_table.infer_from_expr(expr)

# Export/import as JSON
json_data = symbol_table.to_json()
restored_table = tl.SymbolTable.from_json(json_data)

tracker.track_inferred_triple(
    subject="http://example.org/alice",
    predicate="http://example.org/knows",
    object="http://example.org/bob",
    rule_id="social_network_rule_1",
    confidence=0.95
)

# Get high-confidence inferences (>= 0.85)
high_conf = tracker.get_high_confidence_inferences(min_confidence=0.85)
for inf in high_conf:
    print(f"{inf['subject']} {inf['predicate']} {inf['object']}")
    print(f"  Confidence: {inf['confidence']}, Rule: {inf['rule_id']}")

# Export to RDF* Turtle format
turtle = tracker.to_rdfstar_turtle()

# Export to JSON for persistence
json_data = tracker.to_json()
restored = tl.ProvenanceTracker.from_json(json_data)

# Extract provenance from compiled graphs
graph = tl.compile(expr)
provenance_list = tl.get_provenance(graph)
metadata_list = tl.get_metadata(graph)

Source Location Tracking

import pytensorlogic as tl

# Create source locations
start = tl.SourceLocation("rules.tl", 10, 1)
end = tl.SourceLocation("rules.tl", 15, 40)
span = tl.SourceSpan(start, end)

# Create provenance with source information
prov = tl.Provenance()
prov.set_rule_id("social_network_rule_1")
prov.set_source_file("social_rules.tl")
prov.set_span(span)
prov.add_attribute("author", "alice")
prov.add_attribute("version", "1.0")

SIMD Acceleration

The SciRS2 backend provides SIMD acceleration for significant speedups:
