SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires ACSets, Catlab.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a deterministic framework to compare ACSet-based schemas (DuckDB vs LanceDB) and assess density, dynamics, versioning, and interoperability, reducing manual analysis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Golden thread dimensions: φ-angle driven metrics for cross-schema comparison
  • GF(3) trit assignments: Semantic roles for validators, coordinators, generators
  • Irreversibility detection: Identify lossy migrations and append-only chains
  • Use Case: Compare a DuckDB-based schema with LanceDB to surface translation gaps and design improvements.

Quick Start

Run the color_schema function on SchDuckDB and SchLanceDB to produce a color-based comparison.

FAQPage Schema
How do I compare schemas across DuckDB and LanceDB?

Schema comparison across DuckDB and LanceDB uses ACSets to map structural differences, coverage density, and translation gaps. Run full_comparison() on both schemas to surface design mismatches and interoperability issues deterministically.

What is ACSet-based schema comparison and when do I need it?

ACSet comparison applies abstract algebraic structures to quantify schema similarity, versioning dynamics, and migration reversibility. Use it when migrating between storage systems or assessing whether schema changes preserve data integrity.

Can I detect lossy data migrations between DuckDB and LanceDB?

Yes. Irreversibility detection identifies append-only chains and lossy transformations during migration. Run reversibility_summary() to flag which schema changes cannot be undone without data loss.

How do I assign semantic roles to schema components using GF(3) coloring?

GF(3) trit assignments map validators, coordinators, and generators to schema elements via run_coloring_comparison(). This produces a color-coded semantic breakdown that clarifies component responsibility across schemas.

Do I need Catlab and ACSets installed before using schema comparison?

Yes. ACSets and Catlab are required dependencies. These provide the algebraic category theory infrastructure for 12-dimension schema comparisons and geometric morphism translation.

What's the difference between persistent homology coverage and standard schema diffing?

Persistent homology coverage measures topological density and structural stability of schema transformations, not just field-level differences. It reveals design fragility and dimensional collapse risks that line-by-line diffs miss.
