Format Guide

Canonical blueprint language for bounded software logic.

PCD describes domains, composition, and closure before target code exists.

Format Overview

Circuit schematics, not source code.

PCD is a bounded circuit format.

Format Properties

High-integrity computational primitives.

PCD value comes from finite grammar and explicit closure.

format integrity

Finite grammar

Small enough for humans, agents, and compilers.

Reviewed operations

Core operations plus contract-bounded extensions.

Closure gate

If Φc is not 1, the compiler rejects it.

Target emission

One blueprint preserves the intermediate form.

EVA Algebra

Three operators. Correctness preserved.

EVA defines sequence, parallel fan-out, and conditional branching.

composition model

SEQ

One stage feeds the next.

PAR

One input fans out to branches.

COND

Branches stay explicit before selection.

Formalize the stack.

PCD formalizes circuits; it does not replace organizational controls.
