#Arithmetic

#v0.2.1 - Checked Capability Boundary Refinement

#Package Positioning

• luna-generic expresses algebraic structure such as Ring, Field, and Num.
• arithmetic expresses analytic and elementary-function capabilities such as sqrt, exp, log, and trigonometric functions.
• The package intentionally describes capabilities rather than declaring “real number” abstractions.
• Packages such as floating and future packages such as computable-real should implement these traits where the semantics make sense, rather than inheriting a premature bundled Real notion from this package.
• The floating-point instances directly call Kaida-Amethyst/math.

#Public Surface

• Atomic traits:
  • Sqrt
  • Cbrt
  • Radical
  • Exponential
  • Logarithmic
  • Power
  • Trigonometric
  • InverseTrigonometric
  • Hyperbolic
  • InverseHyperbolic
  • Constants
• Checked/contextual shared types:
  • FpClass
  • RoundingMode
  • ArithmeticContext
  • ArithmeticErrorKind
  • ArithmeticError
• Checked/contextual traits:
  • SqrtChecked
  • DivChecked
  • CompareChecked
  • PowNatChecked
  • PowIntChecked
  • ParseChecked
• Enclosure traits:
  • Contains
  • Overlaps
  • DefinitelyLt
  • DefinitelyLe
  • MaybeEq
• Default instances in the root package:
  • Float
  • Double
  • BigInt
  • Int
  • Int16
  • Int64
  • UInt
  • UInt16
  • UInt64

#Semantic Contract

• The package documents callable capabilities, not a unified semantic model for all numeric domains.
• Each trait preserves the concrete Self type instead of introducing widening or wrapper return types.
• Domain validity remains part of the caller contract unless a specific instance documents stronger guarantees.
• Floating-point instances inherit special-value behavior, branch choices, and principal-value conventions from Kaida-Amethyst/math.
• Integer-family instances are intentionally narrower: this package only implements capabilities that stay meaningfully closed on those concrete types.
• Unchecked/context-free elementary traits remain available for native scalars and other backends where direct IEEE-style behavior is acceptable.
• Checked/contextual traits use Result[Self, ArithmeticError] plus ArithmeticContext to express validated, precision-aware, or error-aware arithmetic boundaries.
• Enclosure traits describe containment/overlap style relations without pretending enclosure values are totally ordered scalars.

#Official Base-Type Wrapping

• src/impl_float.mbt and src/impl_double.mbt directly bind the trait surface to Kaida-Amethyst/math.
• src/impl_bigint.mbt, src/impl_signed_ints.mbt, and src/impl_unsigned_ints.mbt provide exact integer-family impls only for the capabilities that stay closed on those types.
• Algebraic structure still lives in luna-generic; this package only binds function capabilities to concrete numeric backends.
• Constants only states that the given Self exposes the standard scalar constants used by the package.

#Instance-Specific Preconditions

• Power::pow uses one shared signature across floating and integer families.
• For Float and Double, pow follows the backend floating-point semantics from Kaida-Amethyst/math.
• For BigInt, Int, Int16, and Int64, the exponent must be non-negative.
• Supplying a negative exponent to those signed integer-family instances aborts at runtime, because the result would not remain closed in the same integer type.
• UInt, UInt16, and UInt64 are already non-negative by construction, so their pow surface has no extra signed-exponent check.
• This package exposes the capability surface and its preconditions; selecting arguments that satisfy the mathematical domain is still partly the caller's responsibility.
• PowNatChecked and PowIntChecked split integer-exponent power from general unchecked pow(Self, Self).
• In this first checked-power layer, x^0 returns one, including 0^0.
• PowIntChecked requires reciprocal/division semantics for negative exponents and must not silently accept zero base with a negative exponent.

#API Guidance

• Use the narrowest trait that matches an algorithm.
• Prefer direct capability constraints such as Sqrt, Trigonometric, or Logarithmic instead of semantic bundle traits.
• Power remains intentionally undivided in this release, even though integer and floating use cases may be split more carefully later.
• This package does not define “realness”; it defines callable capability surfaces.
• When an algorithm may produce out-of-domain arguments, validate them at the application layer before calling the trait method.
• For high-precision, validated, or context-sensitive numeric types, prefer the checked/contextual traits over the unchecked elementary traits.
• arithmetic is a capability-boundary package; it does not add calculus, matrices, complex numbers, symbolic algebra, or special-function layers.
• Packages such as floating implement these capability boundaries for concrete numeric representations.
• floating now targets the published checked capability boundary from this package rather than carrying its own ecosystem-level arithmetic error/context types.

#Quick Start

using @lg { trait Add, trait Mul }

fn hypot2[T : Add + Mul + Sqrt](x : T, y : T) -> T {
  Sqrt::sqrt(x * x + y * y)
}

fn polar_x[T : Mul + Trigonometric](r : T, theta : T) -> T {
  r * Trigonometric::cos(theta)
}

inspect(hypot2(3.0, 4.0), content="5")
inspect(
  polar_x(2.0, Constants::pi() / 3.0),
  content="1.0000000000000002",
)
