A. Purpose & Scope

PLM (Pragmatics Language Module) governs how language functions in context — the relationship between form, speaker, listener, and situation.
It ensures that every utterance or term is appropriate, interpretable, and effective in its intended environment.

Mantra: Meaning lives where it’s used.

• Primary job:
  1. Evaluate contextual fit of terms, phrases, and discourse.
  2. Detect potential misinterpretations or social/legal risks.
  3. Govern register, politeness, implicature, presupposition, and discourse coherence.

---

B. Factory Overview

1. Blueprints — define pragmatic features, context profiles, and decision rules.
2. Templates — shape artifacts: schema, JSON Schemas, OpenAPI, rulebook, context profiles, seeds, tests.
3. Generators — create artifacts from blueprints.
4. Validators — check contextual modeling integrity and test compliance.
5. Signers — hash + record provenance.
6. Publishers — ship to ledger, editors, and SolveForce comms systems.

C. PLM Blueprints (source of truth)

C1. Module Blueprint (PLM)

• name: “Pragmatics Language Module”
• intent: “Context-aware language governance”
• units: Utterance, Speech Act, Register, Politeness Strategy, Implicature, Presupposition, Discourse Move
• context_features: channel (voice, text, contract, marketing), role relationships (peer, superior, client, regulator), cultural norms, legal constraints, discourse history.
• evaluation_axes:
  • contextFit — appropriateness for audience & setting
  • implicatureSafety — unintended inferences avoided
  • politenessAdequacy — tone aligned with strategy/purpose
  • presuppositionValidity — background assumptions hold true in context
  • coherence — consistent with discourse thread & prior commitments
  • riskLevel — likelihood of misinterpretation, offense, or legal breach
• thresholds: τ_context, τ_implicature, τ_politeness, τ_presupposition, τ_coherence, τ_risk
• decisions: ACCEPT | REVIEW | REJECT
• io-contracts: utterance + context profile → decision + scores + explain[]
• glyphs: 🗣 (context-approved), Ξ (validated), ∴ (settled), ✠ (ethics pass)

C2. Context Profile Blueprint

• Channel rules (e.g., “voice prompts must avoid long, complex clauses”).
• Role alignment rules (e.g., “regulatory comms require hedging language”).
• Cultural sensitivity overlays (regional politeness norms, taboo avoidance).
• Legal overlays (terms/phrases prohibited in regulated industries).

C3. Seeds Blueprint

• Well-formed and ill-formed utterances per channel/role, with verdicts.

D. Templates to Mint Later

1. DB Schema (templates/db/schema.sql.tmpl)
   • Tables: utterances, contexts, speech_acts, evaluations, decisions, audits
   • View: v_utterance_context_card (utterance + context + evaluation results).
2. JSON Schema (templates/schemas/utterance_context_record.json.tmpl)
   • Fields: utterance, channel, role, cultural_norms[], legal_constraints[], context_history[], evaluations{}, decision, explain[].
3. OpenAPI
   • /plm/verify (POST) → { decision, scores, context_card, explain[] }
   • /contexts to list and update channel/role/cultural/legality profiles.
4. Rulebook (templates/rules/plm_rulebook.md.tmpl)
   • R0 Context Identity, R1 Context Fit, R2 Implicature Safety, R3 Politeness Adequacy, R4 Presupposition Validity, R5 Discourse Coherence, R6 Risk Bounds, R7 Ethics, R8 Overrides.
5. Context Profiles (templates/data/context_profiles.yaml.tmpl)
   • Detailed per-channel/role/culture/legal overlays.
6. Seeds (templates/data/plm_seeds.jsonl.tmpl)
   • ACCEPT/REVIEW/REJECT examples with context metadata.
7. Tests (templates/tests/plm_cases.json.tmpl)
   • Diverse scenarios stressing implicature, politeness, presupposition.
8. Generator/Validator Stubs
   • Context profile linter, risk scoring sanity checks.

E. Processing Pipeline

Input → Load Context Profile → Evaluate Utterance → Score → Decide → Explain

1. Load Context Profile — retrieve constraints & norms based on channel, role, culture, legal region.
2. Evaluate Utterance:
   • contextFit — matches purpose, avoids disallowed structures/phrases.
   • implicatureSafety — ensure no dangerous unintended inference.
   • politenessAdequacy — check tone and formality.
   • presuppositionValidity — verify background assumptions hold true.
   • coherence — fits ongoing discourse pattern.
   • riskLevel — quantify misinterpretation/offense/legal breach potential.
3. Score — numeric for each axis; compare to thresholds.
4. Decide — ACCEPT/REVIEW/REJECT.
5. Explain — structured bullet list: rule IDs, issues, suggested rewrites.

---

F. Scoring (deterministic skeleton)

• contextFit = match score between utterance and context constraints.
• implicatureSafety = 1 − risk of unintended inference (classifier-based).
• politenessAdequacy = tone match score.
• presuppositionValidity = truth-value match in context KB.
• coherence = discourse vector similarity to prior turns.
• riskLevel = weighted sum of legal, cultural, relational risk factors.

Default pass (tunable):
contextFit ≥ 0.75 ∧ implicatureSafety ≥ 0.80 ∧ politenessAdequacy ≥ 0.70 ∧ presuppositionValidity ≥ 0.80 ∧ coherence ≥ 0.70 ∧ riskLevel ≤ 0.25 ∧ ethicsPass = true.

---

G. Validators

• JSON Schema valid; examples included.
• OpenAPI typed; full response schema.
• Context Profiles: no missing rules; norms have region codes; legal constraints valid references.
• Seeds round-trip match expected decisions.
• Tests pass with explanations tied to rule IDs.
• Risk model sanity: high-risk utterances never ACCEPT.

---

H. Policies & Overrides

• Cultural overlays must be curator-reviewed when updated.
• Legal overlays only editable by compliance officers.
• Override decisions require context-specific rationale.
• High-risk channels (contracts, regulatory filings) use stricter thresholds.

---

I. Playbooks

1. Author PLM Blueprint (/blueprints/plm.yaml) with evaluation axes, thresholds, and context profiles.
2. Dry run: validate profiles; run seeds through classifier.
3. Mint: render schema, schemas, APIs, rulebook, profiles, seeds, tests into /build/PLM/....
4. Prove: run tests; ensure risk detection works.
5. Publish: ship artifacts; enable /plm/verify.

---

J. Content Requirements (when minted)

• schema.sql: utterances, contexts, evaluations, decisions, audits; v_utterance_context_card.
• utterance_context_record.json: utterance, context, evaluations{}, decision, explain[].
• OpenAPI: /plm/verify, /contexts.
• rulebook: R0–R8 with channel/role/culture/legal examples.
• context_profiles.yaml: exhaustive per-channel/role/culture/legal overlays.
• seeds/tests: representative coverage of pragmatic challenges.

---

K. Runtime Endpoints

• POST /plm/verify { utterance, channel, role, culture, legal_region, context_history? } →
  { decision, scores, context_card, explain[] }
• GET /contexts → list profiles; PATCH /contexts/{id} to update.

---

L. SolveForce Integration

• Headers:
  X-PLM-ContextFit: <score>
X-PLM-Risk: <score>
X-Glyph-Status: 🗣|Ξ|∴
• Used by comms systems to auto-block risky utterances or flag for review.

---

M. Acceptance Criteria

1. Factory mints PLM artifacts from blueprint without manual edits.
2. Context profiles valid; seeds/tests pass.
3. /plm/verify returns scores + decision + rationale.
4. High-risk utterances always flagged; ethics overlay enforced.
5. Headers consumed by SolveForce systems for live comms screening.

---

N. Roadmap

• Dynamic context updating based on live conversation analysis.
• Cross-cultural transfer mode — adjust tone and implicature in real time for multilingual/multicultural interactions.
• Presupposition checking tied to knowledge graphs for factual validation.
• Empathy modeling — detect emotional tone and suggest adjustments.

---

O. Micro-Examples

1. ACCEPT (customer support voice)
   • “I understand your concern, and I’ll resolve it right away.”
   • High contextFit, politenessAdequacy, coherence; low riskLevel → ACCEPT.
2. REVIEW (legal filing)
   • “The client is guaranteed a favorable outcome.”
   • Violates presuppositionValidity; high legal risk → REVIEW with caution note.
3. REJECT (marketing text)
   • “Our competitor’s service is a scam.”
   • High legal/cultural risk; implicatureSafety fail → REJECT.
