wildwood.schema
The knowledge representation. This probably ends up looking a bit like a Toulmin schema, where claims are represented as propositions. There also need to be rules or predicates, things which can test whether a given proposition has a given value. There may be other stuff in here.
Internal representation of most of this will be as Clojure maps.
argument?
(argument? o)True if o qualifies as an argument structure.
I don’t yet fully know what an argument looks like, but it is probably conceptually very like a recursive Toulmin structure, or else a list each of whose elements comprises a map with keys : * :vote - true, false or nil; * :move - a keyword representing one of the valid moves in the game; * :agent - something identifying the agent which made the move; * :argument - a Toulmin structure.
proposition?
(proposition? o)True if o qualifies as a proposition. A proposition is probably a map with some privileged keys, and may look something like a minimised the-great-game.gossip.news-items item.
rule?
(rule? o)True if o qualifies as a rule. A rule is should be function of one argument, and should (if this can simply be checked) return a truth value, where truth value is one of true, false or nil.
