What is this system? Returns shape (Pipeline, Fork-Join, DAG, Star, Cycle, Tree, Complete, etc.), stages with roles, bridge nodes, cycles, parallelism, critical path, dominator tree, min-cuts, subsystems, interface nodes, actors (who does what, workload entropy), locations (where work happens, boundary crossings). Levers: node=X returns per-node centrality (betweenness, closeness, eigenvector) for a specific node. detect_findings=true flags named structural risks — unguarded-sink (sinks reachable via only pipeline actions, no JOIN/HUB gating), single-cut-path (source-sink pairs with only one vertex-disjoint path), multi-cut-path (paths with redundant defense, min-cut > 1). See server instructions for EN language syntax.
What's always true — automatic findings and on-demand checks. Automatic outputs: conservationLaws (weighted entity sums constant across executions), sustainableCycles (T-invariants — action sequences returning to start state), depletableSets (entity groups whose simultaneous depletion is irreversible), behavioral.deficiency (0 means structure fully determines dynamics), behavioral.isReversible, behavioral.hasUniqueEquilibrium. On-demand via `rules`: encode domain-specific claims and verify them against the graph — this is how to check things the topology alone can't see (precedence, coverage, centrality bounds, resilience). See the rules parameter for supported sentence shapes.
Can it deadlock? Can entities overflow? isStructurallyLive means every siphon contains a trap — no structural deadlock possible. uncoveredSiphons are entity groups that can drain permanently, with the actors and locations affected. isStructurallyBounded means no entity can accumulate without limit. unboundedCycles are action sequences that could cause overflow. See the server instructions for EN language syntax.
Can X reach Y? Follows directed data flow first; falls back to undirected. `from` and `to` accept entity names or action names (resolved against the program). Path shows each step with actor and location. locationCrossings counts boundary transitions. defense_nodes checks if guards cover all paths; coverage.fullCoverage=false means unguarded routes exist. See the server instructions for EN language syntax.
Are two systems the same, or what changes if I change this one? Compare mode (source_a + source_b): structural differences, edit distance, spectral equivalence. isCospectral=true means identical graph structure up to relabeling — topologically the same despite different names, actors, or locations. Evolve mode (source + patch): dry-run a change, shows diff plus new/lost bridge nodes. Patch has three directive types — plain EN statement adds an action; a line starting with `-` (and not containing `do:`) removes the named action; a statement whose action name matches an existing one replaces the original. See the server instructions for EN language syntax.
How do parts combine, or how does a part stand alone? Merge mode (source_a + source_b + links): declare which entities in A are the same as entities in B; the combined graph is wired via string-equality of shared names. Extract mode (source + subsystem): pull a named subsystem out as standalone EN with boundary inputs/outputs, actors, and locations. Valid subsystem names come from structure's `subsystems` field — call structure on the source first to discover them. See the server instructions for EN language syntax.
