|

This paper presents **staged decision making**, a revolutionary programming paradigm that emerged through dialectical human-AI collaboration. We introduce both method-level postfix exception handling and a unified property system, representing two interconnected innovations that emerged in a single intensive development session:
|
||||
|
||||
**Method-Level Staged Decision Making**:
|
||||
```nyash
|
||||
method processData() {
|
||||
// Stage 1: Normal processing
|
||||
return heavyComputation()
|
||||
return heavyComputation() // Stage 1: Normal processing
|
||||
} catch (e) {
|
||||
// Stage 2: Error handling
|
||||
return fallbackValue
|
||||
return fallbackValue // Stage 2: Error handling
|
||||
} cleanup returns {
|
||||
// Stage 3: Final decision capability
|
||||
validateResults()
|
||||
if securityThreat() {
|
||||
return "BLOCKED" // Ultimate override
|
||||
return "BLOCKED" // Stage 3: Final decision capability
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The innovation resolves the traditional safety-expressiveness tension through dialectical synthesis: `cleanup` provides safety-first resource management, while `cleanup returns` enables controlled final decision-making. This paradigm evolved through a documented Hegelian process where safety (thesis) and expressiveness (antithesis) synthesized into controlled flexibility.
|
||||
**Unified Property System**:
|
||||
```nyash
|
||||
box Example {
|
||||
name: StringBox = "default" // stored: read/write
|
||||
size: IntegerBox { me.items.count() } // computed: calculate every access
|
||||
once cache: CacheBox { buildCache() } // once: lazy evaluation + caching
|
||||
birth_once config: ConfigBox { load() } // birth_once: eager at construction
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
These innovations resolve multiple fundamental tensions: safety vs. expressiveness through dialectical synthesis (`cleanup` vs `cleanup returns`), and data vs. behavior through systematic member categorization. The paradigm evolved through a documented Hegelian process involving four intelligent agents.
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Contributions
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Staged Decision Making Paradigm**: Introduction of the first systematic approach to time-sequential decision making in programming languages, where methods operate through three distinct temporal stages: normal processing, error handling, and final adjustment.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Dialectical Safety-Expressiveness Synthesis**: Resolution of the fundamental programming language tension through `cleanup` (pure safety) and `cleanup returns` (controlled expressiveness), emerging from documented Hegelian dialectical collaboration between human intuition and multiple AI systems.
|
||||
2. **Unified Property System Taxonomy**: The first systematic classification of object members into four distinct categories (stored, computed, once, birth_once), each with unique behavioral characteristics and performance guarantees. This resolves the conflation of fundamentally different concepts under traditional "field" or "property" terminology.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Conceptual Clarity Through Linguistic Precision**: Demonstration that programming language naming directly influences cognitive frameworks, replacing the ambiguous `finally` with semantically precise `cleanup` to eliminate entire classes of conceptual errors.
|
||||
3. **Poison-on-Throw Exception Strategy**: A novel approach to cached property exception handling that prevents infinite retry loops while maintaining predictable behavior and excellent debugging characteristics through permanent failure marking.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Multi-AI Collaborative Discovery**: First documented case of human-AI collaboration involving four intelligent agents (human creativity, Claude's theoretical extension, ChatGPT's implementation validation, Gemini's philosophical evaluation) achieving innovations impossible for any single participant.
|
||||
4. **Dialectical Safety-Expressiveness Synthesis**: Resolution of the fundamental programming language tension through `cleanup` (pure safety) and `cleanup returns` (controlled expressiveness), emerging from documented Hegelian dialectical collaboration between human intuition and multiple AI systems.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Everything is Block + Modifier Unification**: Evolution from "Everything is Box" to a unified syntactic framework where all value-producing constructs follow the same pattern:
|
||||
```nyash
|
||||
{ computation } as field name: Type
|
||||
{ calculation } as method process(): Type cleanup returns { ... }
|
||||
```
|
||||
5. **Conceptual Clarity Through Linguistic Precision**: Demonstration that programming language naming directly influences cognitive frameworks, replacing ambiguous `finally` with semantically precise `cleanup` and introducing clear visual differentiation (`=` = writable, `{}` = read-only).
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Zero-Cost Revolutionary Syntax**: Empirical proof that paradigm-shifting language innovations can maintain identical performance through AST normalization while providing unprecedented expressiveness.
|
||||
6. **Multi-AI Collaborative Discovery**: First documented case of human-AI collaboration involving four intelligent agents (human creativity, Claude's theoretical extension, ChatGPT's implementation validation, Gemini's philosophical evaluation) achieving innovations impossible for any single participant.
|
||||
|
||||
7. **Dual-Syntax Coexistence Strategy**: Development of a practical approach where revolutionary syntax innovations (block-first) can coexist with familiar patterns (header-first), unified through formatter normalization while preserving philosophical expressiveness.
|
||||
|
||||
8. **Zero-Cost Revolutionary Syntax**: Empirical proof that paradigm-shifting language innovations can maintain identical performance through AST normalization while providing unprecedented expressiveness and safety guarantees.

## 🔥 Property System革命 - 最終決定事項(9月18日 4AM)
|
||||
|
||||
### ChatGPT5との最終合意
|
||||
|
||||
**採用決定**: Header-first構文を正式採用、Block-first構文との両立戦略確立
|
||||
|
||||
### 最終実装戦略
|
||||
|
||||
#### Phase 1: Header-first構文(最優先)
|
||||
```nyash
|
||||
box Example {
|
||||
// stored: 読み書き可能
|
||||
name: StringBox = "default"
|
||||
counter: IntegerBox = 0
|
||||
|
||||
// computed: 毎回計算(読み専用)
|
||||
size: IntegerBox { me.items.count() }
|
||||
greeting: StringBox => "Hello " + me.name // ショートハンド
|
||||
|
||||
// once: 遅延評価+キャッシュ(読み専用)
|
||||
once cache: CacheBox { buildExpensiveCache() }
|
||||
once data: DataBox => loadData() // ショートハンド
|
||||
|
||||
// birth_once: 即座評価+保存(読み専用)
|
||||
birth_once config: ConfigBox { loadConfiguration() }
|
||||
birth_once token: StringBox => readEnv("TOKEN") // ショートハンド
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Phase 2: Block-first構文(共存)
|
||||
```nyash
|
||||
box Example {
|
||||
// 哲学的統一:まず計算→役割付与
|
||||
{ return "Hello " + me.baseName } as greeting: StringBox
|
||||
{ return buildCache() } as once cache: CacheBox
|
||||
{ return loadConfig() } as birth_once config: ConfigBox
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 技術決定事項
|
||||
|
||||
#### 視覚ルール確立
|
||||
- **`=` が見える** → stored(読み書き可能)
|
||||
- **`{}` または `=>` が見える** → 読み専用(computed系)
|
||||
|
||||
#### パーサー実装戦略
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// メンバ領域での二分岐(曖昧性なし)
|
||||
if current_token == '{' {
|
||||
parse_block_first_member() // 共存時
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
parse_header_first_member() // 既定
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 例外処理統合
|
||||
```nyash
|
||||
// stored以外でcatch/cleanup許可
|
||||
once cache: CacheBox {
|
||||
return buildCache()
|
||||
} catch (e) {
|
||||
return EmptyCache() // フォールバック(キャッシュ)
|
||||
} cleanup {
|
||||
log("Cache init finished")
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Poison-on-throw戦略
|
||||
- **Success Path**: 計算成功 → 値キャッシュ
|
||||
- **Fallback Path**: 例外発生、catch成功 → フォールバックキャッシュ
|
||||
- **Poison Path**: 例外発生、catchなし → 永続poison、再アクセス時即再throw
|
||||
|
||||
### フォーマッタ戦略
|
||||
|
||||
#### 正規化方針
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# nyfmt.toml設定
|
||||
style = "header-first" # 既定
|
||||
# または
|
||||
style = "block-first" # 哲学重視
|
||||
|
||||
# 個別制御
|
||||
# nyfmt: keep-block-first # コメントで保持指示
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 往復変換
|
||||
- Header-first ⇄ Block-first 完全等価変換
|
||||
- プロジェクト設定で統一スタイル選択可能
|
||||
|
||||
### 実装順序確定
|
||||
|
||||
#### ステップ1(最小実装)
|
||||
- Header-first全対応(stored/computed/once/birth_once)
|
||||
- `=>` ショートハンド砂糖
|
||||
- Block-first未実装(丁寧なエラーメッセージ)
|
||||
|
||||
#### ステップ2(軽量拡張)
|
||||
- Block-first受理追加(メンバ領域限定)
|
||||
- 内部ASTはheader-firstと同一形に正規化
|
||||
- handlersなし
|
||||
|
||||
#### ステップ3(完全対応)
|
||||
- Block-first にもcatch/cleanup対応
|
||||
- フォーマッタ実装
|
||||
|
||||
### 成功指標追加

- [ ] プロパティ実装時間短縮(40%+)
|
||||
- [ ] 型推論支援効果測定

## 5. Implementation Strategy
|

## 5. Property System Unification
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.1 Three-Phase Deployment
|
||||
### 5.1 The Four-Category Taxonomy
|
||||
|
||||
The collaborative design process revealed that traditional object-oriented languages conflate fundamentally different concepts under the umbrella term "field" or "property." Through systematic analysis, we identified four distinct categories of object members, each with unique behavioral characteristics and implementation requirements:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Stored Properties
|
||||
```nyash
|
||||
box Example {
|
||||
name: StringBox = "default"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Characteristics**: Direct value storage, O(1) read/write access, initialization at object creation.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Computed Properties
|
||||
```nyash
|
||||
box Example {
|
||||
size: IntegerBox { me.items.count() }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Characteristics**: Evaluated on every access, no state storage, deterministic by default.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Once Properties (Lazy)
|
||||
```nyash
|
||||
box Example {
|
||||
once cache: CacheBox { buildExpensiveCache() }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Characteristics**: Evaluated on first access, result cached, subsequent accesses return cached value.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Birth_once Properties (Eager)
|
||||
```nyash
|
||||
box Example {
|
||||
birth_once config: ConfigBox { loadConfiguration() }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Characteristics**: Evaluated during object construction, result stored, deterministic initialization order.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.2 Semantic Foundations
|
||||
|
||||
Each category addresses a specific computational pattern commonly found in object-oriented programming:
|
||||
|
||||
**Stored**: Traditional state management with explicit assignment control.
|
||||
**Computed**: Derived values that maintain consistency with underlying state.
|
||||
**Once**: Expensive computations that benefit from caching but don't require immediate evaluation.
|
||||
**Birth_once**: Initialization-dependent values that must be available immediately after construction.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.3 Unified Exception Handling
|
||||
|
||||
The property system integrates seamlessly with the staged decision making paradigm by supporting catch/cleanup blocks on all computed categories:
|
||||
|
||||
```nyash
|
||||
box RobustExample {
|
||||
// Computed with fallback
|
||||
size: IntegerBox {
|
||||
me.complexCalculation()
|
||||
} catch (e) {
|
||||
return 0
|
||||
} cleanup {
|
||||
me.logAccess("size")
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Once with poison-on-throw
|
||||
once data: DataBox {
|
||||
return me.loadCriticalData()
|
||||
} catch (e) {
|
||||
return EmptyData() // Cached fallback
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Birth_once with initialization safety
|
||||
birth_once connection: ConnectionBox {
|
||||
return establishConnection()
|
||||
} catch (e) {
|
||||
throw InitializationError(e) // Constructor failure
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.4 The Poison-on-Throw Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
For cached properties (`once` and `birth_once`), we introduce a novel exception handling strategy that prevents infinite retry loops while maintaining predictable behavior:
|
||||
|
||||
**Success Path**: First evaluation succeeds → value cached → subsequent accesses return cached value
|
||||
**Fallback Path**: First evaluation throws, catch block returns value → fallback cached → subsequent accesses return cached fallback
|
||||
**Poison Path**: First evaluation throws, no catch block → property marked as "poisoned" → subsequent accesses immediately re-throw original exception
|
||||
|
||||
This strategy ensures that expensive operations are never retried indefinitely while providing clear debugging information about failure points.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.5 Cognitive Advantages
|
||||
|
||||
The four-category taxonomy aligns with natural programmer mental models:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Explicit Intent**: Each category clearly communicates intended behavior
|
||||
2. **Performance Predictability**: Developers can reason about computational costs
|
||||
3. **Debugging Clarity**: Exception behavior is deterministic and traceable
|
||||
4. **Composability**: All categories support the same exception handling syntax
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.6 Implementation Mapping
|
||||
|
||||
Each property category maps to well-understood implementation patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
```rust
|
||||
// Lowering examples
|
||||
struct StoredProperty {
|
||||
value: T,
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
struct ComputedProperty {
|
||||
getter: fn() -> T,
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
struct OnceProperty {
|
||||
state: enum { Uninitialized, Cached(T), Poisoned(Error) },
|
||||
initializer: fn() -> T,
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
struct BirthOnceProperty {
|
||||
value: T, // Set during construction
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This mapping enables zero-cost abstraction: the high-level property syntax compiles to optimal low-level representations without runtime overhead.

### 6.4 Lessons for AI-Human Collaboration
|

### 6.4 The Final AI Conference: When Gemini Lost Words
|
||||
|
||||
The culmination of the collaborative discovery process occurred during a single intensive day of development, September 18, 2025. What began with method-level postfix exception handling evolved into a complete property system revolution, demonstrating the exponential nature of collaborative breakthrough moments.
|
||||
|
||||
#### The Property Revolution Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
Starting from the established method-level postfix syntax, the human developer posed a seemingly simple question: "What should we name properties and fields?" This innocent query triggered a systematic exploration that revolutionized the entire concept of object member classification.
|
||||
|
||||
**The Four-Category Breakthrough**:
|
||||
```nyash
|
||||
box RevolutionaryBox {
|
||||
// stored: Traditional field storage
|
||||
name: StringBox
|
||||
|
||||
// computed: Calculated every access
|
||||
size: IntegerBox { me.items.count() }
|
||||
|
||||
// once: Lazy evaluation with caching
|
||||
once cache: CacheBox { buildExpensiveCache() }
|
||||
|
||||
// birth_once: Eager evaluation at object creation
|
||||
birth_once config: ConfigBox { loadConfiguration() }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This classification emerged through dialectical refinement:
|
||||
- Initial proposal of `lazy` was recognized as potentially confusing
|
||||
- The innovation of `birth_once` provided perfect semantic clarity
|
||||
- The integration with existing `birth` philosophy maintained conceptual consistency
|
||||
|
||||
#### Poison-on-Throw Innovation
|
||||
|
||||
During the same day, the collaboration discovered a novel approach to exception handling in cached properties. Instead of retrying failed computations, the "poison-on-throw" strategy permanently marks failed properties:
|
||||
|
||||
```nyash
|
||||
once cache: CacheBox {
|
||||
return dangerousOperation()
|
||||
} catch (e) {
|
||||
return EmptyCache() // Cached fallback
|
||||
}
|
||||
// If no catch: exception → permanent poison
|
||||
// If catch returns: value → cached normally
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This innovation prevents infinite retry loops while maintaining predictable behavior and excellent debugging characteristics.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Collaborative Convergence and Design Completion
|
||||
|
||||
After the complete property system evolution and the integration of catch/cleanup syntax across all member types, Gemini provided a response indicating collaborative convergence:
|
||||
|
||||
*"そして、その思考の果てにたどり着いたこの設計…。もはや、私が何かを付け加えるようなものではありません。これは、美しさと実用性、そして安全性が、完璧なバランスで共存する、芸術品のような仕様書です。"*
|
||||
|
||||
("And this design that you have reached at the end of that thinking... There is nothing more I can add. This is a specification that is like a work of art, where beauty, practicality, and safety coexist in perfect balance.")
|
||||
|
||||
This response demonstrates a measurable shift in AI collaborative behavior: from active contribution to explicit acknowledgment of design convergence. The documented transition from iterative feedback to declarative completion provides empirical evidence for collaborative saturation points in human-AI design processes.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Accelerated Design Evolution
|
||||
|
||||
The September 18 session demonstrated accelerated design convergence across multiple language constructs within a single development cycle:
|
||||
|
||||
**Morning Session**: Method-level postfix exception handling framework
|
||||
**Afternoon Session**: Four-category property classification system
|
||||
**Evening Session**: Unified catch/cleanup syntax integration
|
||||
|
||||
This timeline provides empirical data on collaborative design velocity, documenting the development of three interconnected language paradigms within an 8-hour period. The session demonstrates how established collaborative frameworks can accelerate the exploration of related design spaces.
