abstract: |
This technical paper provides complete, executable implementations of the ARS 5.0 neuro-symbolic framework in four different programming paradigms: DeepProbLog (logic programming), PyTorch (deep learning), Julia (scientific computing), and Rust (systems programming). Each implementation realizes the same dual-dynamics architecture: a symbolic component (transition counting, grammar rules, constitutive constraints) and a neural component (learned transition probabilities). The implementations are based on the empirically optimized grammar of eight market conversations (1994). Minimal explanatory text is provided; the code itself serves as the primary documentation.

ARS 5.0: Technical Implementations\
DeepProbLog, PyTorch, Julia, and Rust

Overview



All four implementations implement the same grammar with the empirically optimized transition probabilities:

::: {#tab:grammar}
Start symbol Following symbols with probabilities
------------------ -----------------------------------------------------
KBG VBG (0.667), VBBd (0.333)
VBG KBBd (1.0)
KBBd VBBd (0.667), VAA (0.167), VBA (0.167)
VBBd KBA (0.444), VAA (0.222), KBBd (0.222), KAA (0.111)
KBA VBA (0.5), VAA (0.5)
VBA KBBd (0.5), KAE (0.25), VAA (0.25)
VAA KAA (0.857), KAV (0.143)
KAA VAV (0.75), VBG (0.25)
VAV KAV (1.0)
KAE VAE (1.0)
VAE KAA (1.0)
KAV VAV (0.5), KBBd (0.5)

Implementation 1: DeepProbLog (Logic Programming)



DeepProbLog extends Prolog with neural predicates. This implementation uses probabilistic facts and logical rules to encode the grammar.
