Omega CHECK has a sandboxed SMT-command adapter: successful unsat output is verified, sat is refuted, and other output is inconclusive. Solver availability, encodings and proof-certificate validation remain separate responsibilities; this is not general formal assurance.

Documentation markers describe linked material, not verified GenOS behavior. Simulation and benchmark flags remain partial until a concept-specific artifact is linked.

DEFINITION AND SCIENCE

What it means
in GenOS.

IN ONE SENTENCE

A solver integration surface whose maturity and runtime status must be checked against its implementation record.

BIOLOGICAL / SCIENTIFIC BASIS

SMT solving determines satisfiability of formulas over declared theories. A SAT/UNSAT result is bounded by encoding, solver, theory support, and proof or model validation.

GENOS TRANSLATION

A solver integration surface whose maturity and runtime status must be checked against its implementation record.

MATHEMATICAL / LOGICAL MODEL

Given formula φ in theory T, return SAT with model m or UNSAT under T. Validate model satisfaction or proof certificate where the solver contract provides one.

PROCESS AND USE

How it works
at a glance.

01

Encode constraints

A solver integration surface whose maturity and runtime status must be checked against its implementation record.

02

Solve SAT or UNSAT

Given formula φ in theory T, return SAT with model m or UNSAT under T. Validate model satisfaction or proof certificate where the solver contract provides one.

03

Check model or certificate

Check model or certificate. SMT solving determines satisfiability of formulas over declared theories. A SAT/UNSAT result is bounded by encoding, solver, theory support, and proof or model validation.

RUNTIME IMPLEMENTATION

What is connected,
and how far.

The linked, versioned GenOS source defines this concept's supported operations and limits. The status axes describe the implementation and evidence recorded for this entry; they do not establish general mission success, scientific equivalence or behavior beyond that scope.

IMPLEMENTATION DETAIL

Omega CHECK has a sandboxed SMT-command adapter: successful unsat output is verified, sat is refuted, and other output is inconclusive. Solver availability, encodings and proof-certificate validation remain separate responsibilities; this is not general formal assurance.

HOARE LOGIC AND PROGRAM ASSERTIONS · 1969

An axiomatic basis for computer programming

C. A. R. Hoare · Communications of the ACM 12(10), 576–580

Sets out axiomatic reasoning about program correctness. A checked property is only as relevant as its specification and assumptions.
