T1Unique Grounding Theorem

Every well-formed UL expression has a unique decomposition into the five primitives. There is no ambiguity in decomposition — meanings are always traceable to concrete geometric operations.

T3Sort Completeness

The four sorts (G, T, R, C) classify all well-formed expressions without overlap or gap. Every well-formed expression belongs to exactly one sort.

T4Operation Closure

The 11 Σ_UL operations are closed over the set of well-formed expressions. Applying any operation to well-formed inputs always yields a well-formed output.

T5Finite Composition

Every well-formed expression uses finitely many applications of primitives and operations. No infinite construction is required to express any concept in UL.

T6Sort Preservation Under Operations

Each operation signature specifies the sorts of its inputs and output. The sort of the result is fully determined by the operation and the sorts of its arguments.

T7Level Monotonicity

The constructive level of a compound expression is always greater than or equal to the levels of its constituent parts. Composition never decreases level.

T8Level Well-Ordering

The constructive levels form a well-ordered set. Every non-empty collection of expressions has a member of minimal level.

T9Sort–Operation Compatibility

The sort system and operation system are mutually consistent: no operation can produce a sort violation, and no sort restriction blocks a structurally valid operation.

T10Negation Involution

Applying the negate operation twice to any well-formed expression returns the original expression. Negation is its own inverse.

T11Composition Associativity

The compose operation is associative: composing (f ∘ g) ∘ h yields the same result as f ∘ (g ∘ h) for all composable well-formed expressions.

T12Abstraction–Embedding Duality

The abstract and embed operations form a dual pair: abstracting an embedded expression recovers the original, and embedding an abstracted expression recovers the original, up to canonical equivalence.

T13Symmetry Classification Theorem

Every well-formed expression belongs to exactly one symmetry class determined by its transformation group under the Erlangen Program hierarchy.

T14Invariant Preservation

For each symmetry class, there exists a set of geometric invariants that are preserved by all transformations in the corresponding group.

T17Expressive Completeness

Any concept expressible in any natural or formal language can be represented as a well-formed UL expression using the five primitives and eleven operations.

T18Unique Normal Form

Every well-formed expression has a unique normal form obtained by exhaustive application of reduction rules. Equivalent expressions reduce to the same normal form.

T19Self-Description Theorem

Universal Language can describe its own syntax, semantics, and proof system entirely within its own formalism. UL is self-describing.

T20Dimensional Consistency

The dimensional assignments to primitives (0D Point, 1D Line, 2D Angle, 3D Curve, 4D Enclosure) are consistent with all operations and sort assignments.

T21Quantifier Well-Definedness

The quantify operation (the sole T2 operation) is well-defined over all T1 expressions and always produces a well-formed T2 expression.

T22Inversion Completeness

Every invertible well-formed expression has a unique inverse under the invert operation. The set of invertible expressions forms a group under composition.

T23Geometric–Semantic Correspondence

There is a one-to-one correspondence between geometric constructions and semantic meanings in UL. Form and meaning are identical — a construction's meaning IS its geometry.
