Rulealize.Plugin.Definition

References and applications of a Rulealize rule set's definitions section.

Plugin id Rulealize.Plugin.Definition
Namespace def
Reserved prefix #
Depends on Rulealize.Abstraction
Specification doc/specification.md

def.ref refers to a definition with no parameters, with "#name" as its shorthand; def.call applies one that has parameters.

The definitions section is structurally the core's. It holds each entry as a name, a parameter list and a body, and it rejects a cyclic reference graph before anything runs. What the core never does is evaluate a body — that is this plugin's part, reached through the evaluation context. So a rule set that defines nothing need not load this plugin at all.

Two things the specification settles that are worth knowing before you read it. Bodies are hygienic: a body sees the state, the other definitions, and its own parameters, and nothing from wherever it was called, which is what fixes a definition's meaning independently of its call sites. And recursion is refused — the reference graph has to be acyclic — because termination could not be guaranteed otherwise and GetValidInputs evaluates hundreds of candidates per call.

Building

dotnet build. Rulealize.Abstraction restores from nuget.org like any other package, so this repository builds on its own.
