Chop Logic Core

Chop Logic Core is a TypeScript library providing core functions for working with symbolic logic. It is part of the broader Chop Logic project and offers essential utilities for logic processing and deduction.

✨ Features

• 🛠️ Factory methods for building logical symbols, operators, expressions, and well-formed formulas (WFF).
• 🔍 Tools for analyzing formulas:
  • Variable extraction
  • Sub-formula extraction
  • Truth table generation
  • Formula evaluation
  • Well-formedness checks
• ✍️ Inference rules from:
  • Hilbert-style Calculus
  • Natural Deduction Calculus (Introduction & Elimination rules)
• 🧪 Utilities for formula validation and consistency checks.
• 🔣 Tokenizer for parsing and handling logical strings.

📦 Installation

You can install chop-logic-core via npm:

npm install chop-logic-core

Or using yarn:

yarn add chop-logic-core

⚙️ Available Scripts

The following npm scripts are available for development and maintenance:

• npm run build – Builds both ESM and CJS versions of the library.
• npm run prepare – Runs build and husky commands.
• npm run clean – Removes the generated lib folder.
• npm run format – Formats all supported files using Biome.
• npm run lint – Runs Biome linter to check for code style and quality issues.
• npm run lint:errors – Shows only error-level diagnostics from Biome (limited to 100).
• npm run lint:warnings – Shows only warning-level diagnostics from Biome (limited to 100 issues).
• npm run lint:fix – Automatically fixes Biome issues where possible.
• npm run test – Runs Jest in watch mode.
• npm run test:ci – Runs Jest in CI mode, allowing zero tests to pass.
• npm run test:coverage – Generates a test coverage report.
• npm run typecheck – Performs a full type check without emitting output.
• npm run docs – Generates documentation using typedoc.
• release:version – Bumps the version (patch, minor, or major), commits the change, creates a Git tag, and pushes to main. Usage: npm run release:version patch

🔧 Usage

Creating and Evaluating Formulas

import {
  createPropExpression,
  createPropFormula,
  calculatePropFormula,
} from "chop-logic-core";

// Create an implication: p → q
const formula = createPropFormula(createPropExpression("p => q"));

// Evaluate the formula with different truth assignments
const result1 = calculatePropFormula(formula, { p: true, q: true }); // true
const result2 = calculatePropFormula(formula, { p: true, q: false }); // false

Building Proofs

import { buildHilbertProof } from "chop-logic-core";

const proof = buildHilbertProof(goalFormula)
   .addPremise(premiseA, "Given")
   .addAxiom(axiomPayload, "Axiom II")
   .addDerivedStep(derivedPayload, "Modus Ponens")
   .build();

 if (proof.isComplete()) {
   console.log("Proof is valid!");
 }

Truth Table Generation

import { generatePropTruthTable } from "chop-logic-core";

// Generate a truth table for a formula
const formula = createPropFormula(createPropExpression("(~A & B)"));

const truthTable = generatePropTruthTable(formula);
// Returns all rows with different truth assignments

Validations and Checks

import {
  isConjunctionIntroductionApplicable,
  PropFormula,
  Operator
} from "chop-logic-core";

const formula1: PropFormula = { operator: Operator.Var, values: ["P"] };
const formula2: PropFormula = { operator: Operator.Var, values: ["Q"] };

// Check if inference rules are applicable to your formulas
const applicable = isConjunctionIntroductionApplicable([formula1, formula2]);
