Technology of Expressions (TE) + Ordinative Category Theory (OCT)
English public mirror of a research framework for AI reasoning protocols and formal theoretical work.
Part of a Larger Ecosystem
This repository is one piece of a five-part framework. For the complete picture, see:
| Repository | Purpose | What you'll find there |
|---|---|---|
| ordinative_sciences_framework | Theory | The complete TE framework, core ontology, and operational modules. |
| te-ordinative-lora | Practice | Code, datasets, and scripts to fine-tune an LLM into a TE-compliant ordinative agent. |
| te-oct-framework-en | Validation | English mirror of the core framework, plus OCT datasets and benchmarks. |
| te-ordinative-algebras-en | Algebras | Semantic Algebra (SA) and Proportional Algebra (PA) — the analytical operators and the proportional space they live in. |
| te-controfase | Treatise | The Technology of Counter-phase, Vol. 1 — the founding treatise of the Controfase operator, plus its bilingual LoRA dataset. |
The five repositories form one framework; each holds one layer of it. Read them together.

What This Repository Is
This repository contains two connected layers:
TE(Technology of Expressions): a documentation-first framework that defines operating principles, reasoning constraints, and modular analysis protocols for AI agents.OCT(Ordinative Category Theory): a formal research programme extending classical category theory with ordinative validity operators and validation workflows.
The claims made here are the ones the validation corpus tests: OCT theorems and reasoning protocols for agents. Model weights and fine-tuning code live in te-ordinative-lora.
Important Disambiguation
OCT in this repository means Ordinative Category Theory.
It does not refer to optical coherence tomography (medical imaging).
