# Presentation Plan for Thomas Ferguson Call

## Executive Summary
We have successfully implemented both wKrQ (Definition 9) and ACrQ (Definition 18) tableau systems from Ferguson (2021) with:
- Full compliance with the 6-sign system (t, f, e, m, n, v)
- Correct weak Kleene three-valued semantics
- Paraconsistent bilateral predicate logic for ACrQ
- Comprehensive test suite (568/580 tests passing = 97.9%)
- Tableau visualization and tracing capabilities

## Presentation Structure (45-60 minutes)

### Part 1: Opening & Overview (5 minutes)
1. **Welcome and Introduction**
   - Thank Thomas for his groundbreaking work
   - Brief overview of what we've built
   - Mention the comprehensive Ferguson (2021) analysis document

2. **Quick Demo Teaser**
   ```bash
   # Show a simple wKrQ validity check
   wkrq valid "P | ~P"  # Not valid in weak Kleene!
   
   # Show ACrQ handling a glut
   wkrq solve "Human(x) & Human*(x)" --mode acrq
   ```

### Part 2: Implementation Overview (10 minutes)

#### Architecture Alignment with Paper
```
Ferguson (2021) Structure    →    Our Implementation
─────────────────────────────────────────────────
Definition 9 (wKrQ rules)    →    wkrq_rules.py
Definition 10 (Closure)      →    tableau.py (branch closure)
Definition 17 (Translation)  →    acrq_parser.py (transparent mode)
Definition 18 (ACrQ)         →    acrq_rules.py + acrq_tableau.py
Lemma 5 (Glut tolerance)     →    bilateral_equivalence.py
```

#### Key Design Decisions
1. **Sign System**: Exact implementation of 6-sign system
2. **Branching Rules**: All 3-branch rules for error cases
3. **Bilateral Predicates**: R/R* duality for paraconsistent reasoning
4. **Parser Modes**: Transparent, Bilateral, Mixed

### Part 3: Live Demonstrations (25 minutes)

#### Demo 1: Basic wKrQ Tableau Construction (5 min)
```bash
# Show tableau construction with trace
wkrq solve "P & (P -> Q)" --trace

# Demonstrate that modus ponens is NOT valid in weak Kleene
wkrq valid "(P & (P -> Q)) -> Q"
# Result: NOT VALID (undefined when P=e, Q=e)
```

#### Demo 2: Ferguson's 6-Sign System in Action (3 min)
```python
# Interactive Python demo
from wkrq import *

# Create a formula and show sign propagation
formula = parse("(P | Q) & ~R")

# Build tableau with different initial signs
for sign in [t, f, e, m, n]:
    print(f"\nTesting {sign}: {formula}")
    result = solve(formula, sign)
    print(f"  Satisfiable: {result.satisfiable}")
    print(f"  Branches: {result.closed_branches}/{result.open_branches}")
```

#### Demo 3: Comprehensive ACrQ Demonstration (12 min)
```bash
# Run the complete ACrQ demo script
python examples/acrq_demo_ferguson.py
```

This interactive demo covers:
1. **Bilateral Predicates** (Definition 17)
   - R/R* duality for positive/negative evidence
   - Transparent vs bilateral syntax modes
   
2. **Paraconsistent Reasoning** (Lemma 5)
   - Contradictions don't explode
   - Glut tolerance demonstration
   
3. **DeMorgan Transformations**
   - Syntactic rules, not semantic validities
   - Compound and quantifier negations
   
4. **Knowledge Gaps**
   - Epistemic uncertainty representation
   - Four information states (true/false/gap/glut)
   
5. **LLM Integration** (ACrQ-LLM)
   - Hybrid formal-empirical reasoning
   - Real-world knowledge incorporation
   
6. **Complete Example**
   - Dragons, contradictions, and gluts
   - Full tableau visualization

#### Demo 4: DeMorgan Details in ACrQ (3 min)
```python
# Show DeMorgan as transformation rules, not semantic validities
from wkrq import *

# In ACrQ, DeMorgan rules are syntactic transformations
formula = parse_acrq_formula("~(P(a) & Q(a))")
# This transforms to (~P(a) | ~Q(a)) which becomes (P*(a) | Q*(a))

# But DeMorgan's laws are NOT semantically valid in weak Kleene
result = valid(parse("~(P & Q) -> (~P | ~Q)"))
print(f"DeMorgan valid in weak Kleene? {result}")  # FALSE!
```

#### Demo 5: Tableau Visualization (2 min)
```bash
# Generate visual tableau tree
wkrq solve "[∀x Human(x)]Mortal(x)" --trace --format tree

# Export to GraphViz
wkrq solve "P & ~P" --export tableau.dot
dot -Tpng tableau.dot -o tableau.png
```

### Part 4: Technical Deep Dive (15 minutes)

#### Discussion Points for Thomas:

1. **Branch Closure Implementation (Definition 10)**
   ```python
   # Show our implementation
   def check_contradiction(branch):
       # wKrQ: Close if v:φ and u:φ where v,u ∈ {t,f,e} and v ≠ u
       # ACrQ: Modified per Lemma 5 - bilateral equivalence check
   ```

2. **Quantifier Instantiation Strategy**
   - Show our constant tracking system
   - Discuss fresh constant generation
   - Universal quantifier reuse strategy

3. **Error Branch Implementation**
   ```python
   # Show the controversial t-disjunction error branch
   # t: (P | Q) → (t: P) | (t: Q) | (e: P, e: Q)
   #                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   #                              The third branch!
   ```

4. **Design Questions for Thomas**:
   - Is our interpretation of the error branches correct?
   - Should m-conjunction have 2 or 3 branches?
   - Clarification on v-sign rules behavior
   - Best practices for quantifier instantiation tracking

### Part 5: Test Suite & Validation (5 minutes)

#### Current Status
```bash
# Run full test suite
pytest --tb=no

# 568 passed, 12 failed (97.9% pass rate)
```

#### Key Validation Points:
1. **Ferguson Compliance Tests**: 100% passing
2. **Weak Kleene Semantics**: Correctly fail classical properties
3. **ACrQ Paraconsistency**: Gluts handled without explosion
4. **Literature Examples**: All examples from paper implemented

### Part 6: Q&A and Future Work (10 minutes)

#### Prepared Questions for Thomas:
1. **Theoretical**:
   - Clarification on v-sign elimination rules
   - Optimal branching strategy for performance
   - Extension to full first-order logic

2. **Practical**:
   - Visualization preferences for teaching
   - Integration with other logical systems
   - Real-world applications you envision

#### Future Development Ideas:
1. Web-based tableau visualizer
2. Educational mode with step-by-step explanation
3. Integration with theorem provers
4. Extension to other non-classical logics
