Logic & Lambda Calculus
=======================

The `nltk.logic` package allows expressions of First-Order Logic (FOL) to be
parsed into ``Expression`` objects. In addition to FOL, the parser
handles lambda-abstraction with variables of higher order.

--------
Overview
--------

    >>> from nltk.sem.logic import *

The default inventory of logical constants is the following:

    >>> boolean_ops() # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
    negation           -
    conjunction        &
    disjunction        |
    implication        ->
    equivalence        <->
    >>> equality_preds() # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
    equality           =
    inequality         !=
    >>> binding_ops() # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
    existential        exists
    universal          all
    lambda             \

Untyped Logic
+++++++++++++

Process logical expressions conveniently:

    >>> read_expr = Expression.fromstring

Test for equality under alpha-conversion
========================================

    >>> e1 = read_expr('exists x.P(x)')
    >>> print(e1)
    exists x.P(x)
    >>> e2 = e1.alpha_convert(Variable('z'))
    >>> print(e2)
    exists z.P(z)
    >>> e1 == e2
    True


    >>> l = read_expr(r'\X.\X.X(X)(1)').simplify()
    >>> id = read_expr(r'\X.X(X)')
    >>> l == id
    True

Test numerals
=============

    >>> zero = read_expr(r'\F x.x')
    >>> one = read_expr(r'\F x.F(x)')
    >>> two = read_expr(r'\F x.F(F(x))')
    >>> three = read_expr(r'\F x.F(F(F(x)))')
    >>> four = read_expr(r'\F x.F(F(F(F(x))))')
    >>> succ = read_expr(r'\N F x.F(N(F,x))')
    >>> plus = read_expr(r'\M N F x.M(F,N(F,x))')
    >>> mult = read_expr(r'\M N F.M(N(F))')
    >>> pred = read_expr(r'\N F x.(N(\G H.H(G(F)))(\u.x)(\u.u))')
    >>> v1 = ApplicationExpression(succ, zero).simplify()
    >>> v1 == one
    True
    >>> v2 = ApplicationExpression(succ, v1).simplify()
    >>> v2 == two
    True
    >>> v3 = ApplicationExpression(ApplicationExpression(plus, v1), v2).simplify()
    >>> v3 == three
    True
    >>> v4 = ApplicationExpression(ApplicationExpression(mult, v2), v2).simplify()
    >>> v4 == four
    True
    >>> v5 = ApplicationExpression(pred, ApplicationExpression(pred, v4)).simplify()
    >>> v5 == two
    True

Overloaded operators also exist, for convenience.

    >>> print(succ(zero).simplify() == one)
    True
    >>> print(plus(one,two).simplify() == three)
    True
    >>> print(mult(two,two).simplify() == four)
    True
    >>> print(pred(pred(four)).simplify() == two)
    True

    >>> john = read_expr(r'john')
    >>> man = read_expr(r'\x.man(x)')
    >>> walk = read_expr(r'\x.walk(x)')
    >>> man(john).simplify()
    <ApplicationExpression man(john)>
    >>> print(-walk(john).simplify())
    -walk(john)
    >>> print((man(john) & walk(john)).simplify())
    (man(john) & walk(john))
    >>> print((man(john) | walk(john)).simplify())
    (man(john) | walk(john))
    >>> print((man(john) > walk(john)).simplify())
    (man(john) -> walk(john))
    >>> print((man(john) < walk(john)).simplify())
    (man(john) <-> walk(john))

Python's built-in lambda operator can also be used with Expressions

    >>> john = VariableExpression(Variable('john'))
    >>> run_var = VariableExpression(Variable('run'))
    >>> run = lambda x: run_var(x)
    >>> run(john)
    <ApplicationExpression run(john)>
