ARIA
AI Representation for Instruction Architecture
The AI composes. The machine performs.
The human is the audience.
(module "hello"
(func $greet
(param $name str) (result str)
(effects pure)
(intent "Greet a user by name")
(return (concat.str "Hello, " $name))))The Pipeline
Why Clojure
ARIA-IR is s-expressions. Clojure is s-expressions. The toolchain that parses one should be written in the other. The parser collapses to read-string plus validation. This is not a coincidence. It is the right choice.
Clojure runs on the JVM. The toolchain is portable to every platform Java runs on. No native compilation step, no platform-specific builds. A single uberjar runs everywhere.
Clojure's immutable data structures mirror SSA semantics. An ARIA-IR program is a value. Transforming it produces a new value. The compiler pipeline is a sequence of pure functions over immutable data. The language and the problem fit like a key in a lock.
Human-readable programming languages were designed for human authors. If AI is writing the code and a compiler is consuming it, the intermediate representation should be optimized for that pipeline.
ARIA is that representation.
