AxiomCode — Features & Qualities

Natural Language to Formally Verified Code
Domain: axiom-code.com
Version: 0.1.0
License: MIT
Dependencies: Zero (pure Python stdlib + cffi)

---

Executive Summary

AxiomCode is the world’s first zero-dependency, zero-trust, cryptographically secured system that converts natural language descriptions of algorithms into mathematically proven-correct Python and C code. Every generated artifact comes with a verifiable proof certificate, HMAC signature, and tamper-evident audit trail.

Built for commercialization. Designed to surpass Python and agent-based LLM code generators by providing mathematical certainty instead of probabilistic guesses.

Core Features

1. Natural Language to Verified Code

• Describe algorithms in plain English — no programming knowledge required
• Automatic Lean 4 specification generation via local or cloud LLMs
• Formal proof search with Pantograph + Goedel-Prover integration
• Code extraction to C binaries and Python packages
• Every line of code is mathematically proven correct

2. Zero External Dependencies

• Pure Python stdlib — no pip packages to install (except cffi for bindings)
• No attack surface from third-party libraries
• No supply chain vulnerabilities — no requests, no Flask, no SDKs
• HTTP via stdlib http.client — direct API calls to Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic
• Crypto via stdlib hashlib, hmac, secrets — no cryptography package needed

3. Zero-Trust Security Model

• Every output independently verifiable — no blind trust in any component
• Cryptographic proof certificates — HMAC-signed attestations of correctness
• Binary signing — every C binary and Python package is signed and verifiable
• Tamper-evident audit log — hash-chained entries detect any modification
• Encrypted key store — PBKDF2-derived keys, encrypted at rest
• Secure sandbox — isolated execution with restricted environment
• Rate limiting — token bucket prevents API abuse

4. Multi-Backend LLM Support

| Backend | Type | Default Model | Speed | Quality | |———|——|—————|——-|———| | Ollama | Local | qwen2.5-coder:14b | Fast | Good | | Mistral | Local | mistral:7b | Fast | Good | | OpenAI | Cloud | gpt-4o | Medium | Excellent | | Anthropic | Cloud | claude-sonnet-4 | Medium | Excellent |

• No SDKs — direct HTTP calls, zero dependency overhead
• LLM response caching — persistent cache reduces cost and latency
• Automatic retry with exponential backoff
• Fallback chain — if local model fails, suggests cloud alternatives

5. Cryptographic Proof Certificates

Every generated algorithm comes with a signed certificate containing:

• Hash of the Lean 4 specification
• Hash of the proof term
• Hash of the compiled C binary
• Hash of the Python package
• HMAC signature for authenticity
• Key ID for verification
• Timestamp for non-repudiation

Certificates are independently verifiable — anyone can verify the certificate without trusting AxiomCode.

6. Interactive Proof Visualization

• 2D Port Graph — Incredible Proof Machine style block diagrams
• Force-Directed Graph — D3.js interactive dependency graphs
• 3D Spatial Layout — Three.js-ready architecture for future expansion
• Self-contained HTML — no server required, works offline
• Click-to-inspect — view any proof step’s Lean tactic

7. Version Management & Data Persistence

• Automatic version tracking — every installation knows its version
• Upgrade migration — v1 → v2 → vN with automatic data transformation
• Downgrade support — vN → v2 → v1 with data preservation
• Automatic backups — every migration creates a restorable backup
• Rollback capability — one command to restore previous state
• Migration history — complete audit trail of all version changes
• Data integrity validation — verify all data matches current schema
• Multi-step migration paths — BFS-based pathfinding through version graph
• History retention — all historical data preserved across version changes

8. Commercial Licensing System

• Root key pair — cryptographic signing key kept secret by AxiomCode
• Hardware binding — licenses tied to machine fingerprint
• Offline verification — no phone-home needed
• 3 tiers — Community (free), Pro ($49/mo), Enterprise (custom)
• Revocation support — compromised licenses can be invalidated
• Portable licenses — optional non-hardware-bound licenses

9. Comprehensive CLI (15 Commands)

| Command | Description | |———|————-| | generate | Generate verified code from natural language | | guide | Interactive step-by-step wizard | | examples | Browse 6 built-in algorithm examples | | help | Full help, FAQ, and troubleshooting | | walkthrough | Interactive tutorial for new users | | models | List available LLM backends and local models | | visualize | Open interactive proof visualization | | publish | Publish to PyPI and GitHub Releases | | verify | Independently verify any generated proof | | cert | Display cryptographic proof certificate | | key create | Create encrypted signing key | | key list | List all signing keys | | audit | View tamper-evident audit log | | version | Manage versions, migrate, rollback, validate | | license | Manage licenses, issue, verify, revoke |

10. Production-Ready Packaging

• C shared libraries — .so/.dll files for direct integration
• PyPI publishing — one command to publish verified packages
• GitHub Releases — binary distribution with signatures
• Cross-platform — Windows, Linux, macOS support

11. Lean 4 Integration

• Lake project management — proper Lean 4 build system
• Custom proof tactics — domain-specific tactics for faster proofs
• Specification library — reusable correctness specifications
• Algorithm library — pre-verified sorting, searching, data structures
• Mathlib integration — access to the largest formal math library
