Volume 12 — ψ-Language Syntax and Execution
Complete Programming Language for Collapse Systems
This volume specifies the ψ programming language - a language designed from the ground up to work with φ-constrained trace structures. Every construct respects the golden constraint while enabling powerful computation.
