Śāstra as a Formal Knowledge System: Encoding, Algorithms & Rule-Based Reasoning

This topic explores how classical Indian Śāstra texts function as formal knowledge systems, using binary encoding (Laghu/Guru), generative algorithms (Prastāra), context-sensitive operations, and meta-rules (Apavāda) tha…

• Śāstra is a formal knowledge system with syntax, semantics, inference rules, and validation mechanisms.
• The Śāstra pipeline: Dhvani → Varṇa → Pada → Vākya → Artha → Pramāṇa.
• Laghu (light) and Guru (heavy) syllables form a binary encoding: L=1, G=0.
