Universal Causal Language (UCL)

1. Overview

The Universal Causal Language (UCL) is an experimental intermediate representation (IR) designed to express causality across all domains: natural language, programming, law, biology, and art. The language aims to unify all systems of meaning by reducing them to their causal primitives — actions that cause state changes.

UCL treats every statement, instruction, law, or behavior as a causal operation: a structured mapping from one state of the world to another. It can encode a function call in a programming language, a sentence in English, a legal contract, a musical score, or a DNA transcription event in the same underlying schema.

Global Claude Code Development Standards

This file contains universal development principles and standards that apply across ALL projects. Individual projects may have their own CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md files with project-specific details - always read those when working in a specific codebase.

🚨 CRITICAL: NEVER BE LAZY - NO SHORTCUTS EVER

THERE IS NO RUSH. There are NO DEADLINES. There is NEVER any need to hurry.

	# This script assumes that each prophecy provides independent evidence.
	# For each prophecy, we define:
	# - P_H: Probability of observing this evidence if Trump is the Antichrist.
	# - P_notH: Probability of observing this evidence if Trump is NOT the Antichrist.
