The geometry of syntax and semantics for directed file transformations
This work addresses the challenge of file transformations for software engineers, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing geometric concepts without clear empirical validation.
The paper tackles the problem of performing goal-directed file transformations by introducing a conceptual framework that associates syntax and semantics with geometric directions in principal bundles, suggesting engineering practices for tasks like eliminating unsafe syntax.
We introduce a conceptual framework that associates syntax and semantics with vertical and horizontal directions in principal bundles and related constructions. This notion of geometry corresponds to a mechanism for performing goal-directed file transformations such as "eliminate unsafe syntax" and suggests various engineering practices.
