Two new π* canonicalizers extend the math substrate above
arithmetic@v1 (closed-form rationals) and logic-kernel@v1
(propositional Boolean → CNF):
algebra-symbolic@v1 (Phase 1) — symbolic-algebra domain.
sp.expand → sp.srepr canonical bytes. Polynomial identity collapses
((x+1)**2 ≡ x**2 + 2*x + 1); exponential identity collapses
(exp(a+b) ≡ exp(a)*exp(b), inherited from sp.expand's default
behavior); trigonometric identity does NOT collapse
(sin²+cos² ≢ 1). The trig surface is reserved for a future
algebra-symbolic-simplified@v1 variant that wraps sp.simplify at
unbounded CPU cost. Rejects relationals (`x > 0`) and
BooleanFunction shapes (`x & y`) via `isinstance(expr, sp.Expr)` —
sp.Symbol confusingly inherits from Boolean so the right rejection
filter is "not Expr" rather than "Boolean".
calculus-derivative@v1 (Phase 2) — calculus domain. JSON-shaped
{f, x, n} input → sp.diff → sp.expand → srepr bytes. Output is
itself a valid algebra-symbolic@v1 input so the two compose
naturally under arborist.pi_star.compose. n defaults to 1; bools
explicitly rejected (Python isinstance(True, int) is True so we
filter that explicitly).
Optional dependency: sympy ships in the new [math] extra
(pyproject.toml). Folded into [dev] so make bootstrap pulls it
transitively. An explicit `bootstrap-math` Makefile target documents
the opt-in for minimal-install users. Both modules self-guard
via `try: import sympy as sp / except ImportError: sp = None` and
only register(...) when sympy is present, so a fresh checkout
without [math] still loads arborist.pi_star without raising.
Preflight algebra route lands in
arborist.qa.query._canonical_projection_preflight between the
arithmetic and logic routes. Charset regex (_CANONICAL_ALGEBRA_RE)
allows lowercase letters + math chars; requires at least one
letter (else arithmetic wins); rejects natural-language leading
verbs via _CANONICAL_ALGEBRA_NL_LEAD_RE (4-letter minimum so
single-/two-/three-char identifiers like x, xy, sin, cos, pi
survive while "simplify (...)", "factor x...", "expand (a+b)..."
fall through). PiStarError + KeyError both fall through cleanly
so a sympy-less install just routes everything past algebra.
Bench substrate:
- bench/batteries/base.py PHASE_1_CARRIERS gains "symbolic_algebra"
- bench/fixtures/5s/syntax-algebra-symbolic-v1.jsonl (10 fixtures)
- bench/fixtures/5s/semantics-algebra-symbolic-v1.jsonl (13 fixtures
including the documented trig non-collapse + exp collapse)
- Makefile bench-5s-algebra target → 100% pass
Tests: 18 algebra-symbolic + 38 calculus-derivative unit tests +
~10 new preflight-route tests in test_canonical_projection.py. All
gate on pytest.importorskip("sympy") so a sympy-less suite stays
green. Full suite: 1369 passed / 27 skipped.
Phases 3-7 (integral, limit, series, linear-algebra,
function-sampled) remain open as future work; each lands as its
own ticket when an actual consumer surfaces.

Arborist tickets — index
Arborist uses a flat ticket-NNNNNN-<slug>.md convention for actionable
proposals: defects with a known root cause, design proposals awaiting
go/no-go, or scoped enhancements queued for future implementation.
Convention
- Filename:
docs/tickets/ticket-NNNNNN-<slug>.md. The ID is a six-digit zero-padded integer; the slug is hyphen-lowercase and short enough to stay readable on a 100-column terminal. - Numbering: monotonic, never reused. Pick the next free integer
greater than every existing ticket. The current next ID is on the
Next IDline below; bump it when you open a ticket and commit the bump in the same commit as the new ticket file. - Header: every ticket starts with
# Ticket #NNNNNN — <short title> **Status:** open · awaiting go/no-go (or "in progress", "closed") **Opened:** YYYY-MM-DD **Scope:** <one-liner — what this ticket is for> **Audience:** <who reads this> **Hard constraint:** <invariants this ticket commits to NOT break> - Body: problem statement, design choices with trade-offs,
recommendation, implementation sketch, scope boundaries, status.
See
ticket-000001-retrieval-keywords-audit-gap.mdfor a worked template. - Closure: when a ticket lands, flip Status to
closed · landed in commit <sha>and leave the file in place. Do not delete tickets; they are the design log.
Distinction from other docs
docs/ also contains architecture references and bench journey notes
that are NOT tickets — they describe state of the world rather than
proposing change. Examples that stay un-numbered:
cti-architecture.md(architecture reference)mesh.md,mesh-deploy.md(architecture + ops reference)qa-modes-bench-2026-04-30.md(point-in-time bench journal)verifier-semantic-gap-design.md,self-reference-design.md(older design docs that pre-date the ticket convention; leave as-is unless retroactively promoting one to a ticket adds value)concept-relations-design.md(architecture reference for the per-shardconcept_relationssynonym/rivalry layer + the 1.6% storage-tax rationale; landed 2026-05-01)tool-action-dag-design.md(research path for an action- provenance layer downstream offinal_label. Captured pre-ticket per the 2026-05-07 arborist-vs-donto comparison; promotes to a ticket when an actual agent use case surfaces)
If a doc proposes change AND awaits a decision AND has scoped implementation cost, it's a ticket. Otherwise it's reference.
