abstract: Provides a rigorous, reproducible workflow for building, developing and
  testing scientific theories represented as versioned, machine-checkable objects.
  Functions read and validate theory objects, score them against a versioned rigour
  checklist, screen constructs for lexical redundancy, and emit byte-identical diagram
  intermediate representations. The package is the feature-parity twin of a 'Python'
  package of the same name, with behaviour pinned by a shared specification so the
  two implementations produce identical verdicts.
