FE-012B Primitive Grammar Synthesis Experiment

Purpose

FE-012B tests whether the provisional primitive reasoning vocabulary can be used to synthesize coherent procedural reasoning frameworks for novel problems.

Research Question

Can the provisional primitive reasoning vocabulary generate coherent procedural reasoning frameworks for previously unseen problems?

Primary Hypothesis

A finite primitive reasoning vocabulary possesses sufficient expressive power to synthesize coherent procedural reasoning frameworks across multiple domains.

Why This Experiment Matters

FE-012A asked whether primitives could reconstruct existing reasoning artifacts.

FE-012B asks whether the same vocabulary is expressive enough to generate new procedural reasoning structures without borrowing existing framework identities.

Exclusions

• Clarity
• EDF
• Existing frameworks

No existing framework may be copied or adapted.

Frameworks must emerge solely from primitive composition.

Warning

FE-012B does not validate Framework Engineering.

It only tests whether the current primitive vocabulary appears expressive enough to represent coherent procedural reasoning.
