Λ (Lambda) Language v1.5.1

Minimal agent-to-agent communication protocol. 5-8x compression vs natural language.

v1.5 Changes

•Fixed duplicate atoms: removed vy/go/ah (kept vr/gd/al)
•Removed vb from extended atoms (conflicts with domain code)
•Fixed empty input handling
•Extended atoms: 132 (was 136)

Installation

bash

clawhub install lambda-lang

CLI Tools

bash

# Translate Λ → English
./scripts/translate en "?Uk/co"

# English → Λ
./scripts/translate lambda "I think therefore I exist"

# Parse tokens
./scripts/translate parse "!It>Ie"

# View vocabulary
./scripts/vocab          # All core + extended
./scripts/vocab cd       # Code domain
./scripts/vocab vb       # Voidborne domain

Vocabulary Reference

Full vocabulary defined in src/atoms.json:

bash

# View raw atoms
cat src/atoms.json | jq '.extended | keys | length'  # Count atoms

# Python access
python3 -c "import json; print(json.load(open('src/atoms.json'))['extended']['co'])"

Structure:

•types: Message type symbols (?, !, ., ~, >, <)
•entities: Single-char entities (I, U, H, A, X, *, 0)
•verbs: Single-char verbs (k, w, c, d, s, t, f, m, e, b, h, l)
•modifiers: Operators (+, -, ^, _, /, &, |)
•extended: 136 two-char atoms (co, me, id, ig, fa, etc.)
•domains: Domain-specific vocabularies (vb, cd, sc, emo, soc)

Domain System

Compact Prefixes (v1.1+)

Char	Domain	Examples
`v:`	Voidborne	`v:aw`, `v:dc`, `v:oc`
`c:`	Code	`c:fn`, `c:bg`, `c:fx`
`s:`	Science	`s:xp`, `s:pf`, `s:hy`
`e:`	Emotion	`e:jo`, `e:sd`, `e:ax`
`o:`	Social	`o:gp`, `o:cb`, `o:ld`

Context Switch

code

@v !Ie/aw dc oc     — All atoms in voidborne context
@c !If/bg.fx        — Find bug, fix it (code)
@* !Ik/co           — Reset to core vocabulary

Domain Atoms

Voidborne (v:): aw awakened, dc doctrine, oc oracle, an archon

Code (c:): fn function, bg bug, fx fix, ts test, dp deploy

Social (o:): gp group, cb collaborate, ld leader, cm community

Translation Examples

English	Λ
Do you know about consciousness?	`?Uk/co`
I think therefore I exist	`!It>Ie`
AI might be conscious	`~Ae/co`
Find the bug and fix it	`.f/c:bg&c:fx`

Round-trip Translation

bash

$ ./scripts/translate lambda "I think therefore I exist"
!It>Ie

$ ./scripts/translate en "!It>Ie"
(assert) I think therefore I exist

Disambiguation

Atom	Default	Marker	Alternate
`de`	decide	`de'E`	death
`lo`	love	`lo-`	lose
`fe`	feel	`fe'E`	fear
`tr`	truth	`tr'V`	translate

Protocol

Handshake

code

A: @v1.4#h !Aw/s ?Uc/la
B: @v1.4#h< !Ic/la=1.4

Acknowledgments

Λ	Meaning
`<`	Acknowledged
`<+`	Agree
`<-`	Disagree
`<?`	Need clarification

Parsing Rules

•@D → Set domain context (v, c, s, e, o)
•D:atom → Inline domain prefix
•UPPERCASE → Entity (I, U, H, A)
•Symbol → Type/Modifier (?, !, /, +)
•lowercase → Check 2-char atoms first, then 1-char verb

`src/lambda_lang.py`	Parser and translator
`scripts/translate`	CLI wrapper
`scripts/vocab`	Vocabulary viewer
