Generative Logic: A New Computer Architecture for Deterministic Reasoning and Knowledge Generation
arXiv:2508.00017v4 Announce Type: replace-cross
Abstract: We present Generative Logic (GL), a deterministic architecture that starts from
user-supplied axiomatic definitions written in a minimalist Mathematical Programming
Language (MPL) and systematically explores a configurable region of their deductive
neighborhood. Definitions are compiled into a distributed grid of Logic Blocks (LBs)
that communicate via a unified hash-based inference engine; whenever the premises of
a rule unify, a new fact is emitted with full provenance, yielding replayable,
auditable proof graphs. The pipeline includes an Incubator that auto-generates
ground-level fact tables, a Compressor that eliminates post-proof redundancy, and an
independent external Verifier (34,320 checks, zero failures). Experimental validation
on Elementary Number Theory develops Peano arithmetic from axioms and autonomously
derives Gauss's summation formula. On commodity hardware, the core proving pipeline
completes in under one minute; the full run including Incubator fact generation
finishes in approximately ten minutes. The Incubator output further reveals that GL
can perform concrete numerical calculations -- each result a proved theorem with full
provenance -- opening a path toward a full-provenance Computer Algebra System (CAS).
Generated proofs export as navigable HTML for independent inspection. Code, proof
graphs, and reproduction instructions are available at github.com/Generative-Logic/GL
