Title: DriftScript: A Domain-Specific Language for Programming Non-Axiomatic Reasoning Agents

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.00043v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Non-Axiomatic Reasoning Systems (NARS) provide a framework for building adaptive agents that operate under insufficient knowledge and resources. However, the standard input language, Narsese, poses a usability barrier: its dense symbolic notation, overloaded punctuation, and implicit conventions make programs difficult to read, write, and maintain. We present DriftScript, a Lisp-like domain-specific language that compiles to Narsese. DriftScript
