## 1. Protected Innovation

The following 12 **universal intermediate representation (IR) kinds** constitute
the core innovation of GraphLang. These were first reduced to practice and
published on July 28, 2026.

| # | IR Kind | Definition | First Published |
|---|---------|-----------|----------------|
| 1 | `function` | Executable block with parameters and body | v0.1 |
| 2 | `if` | Conditional branch with test, then-body, optional else-body | v0.1 |
| 3 | `for` | Iteration over sequence or counter | v0.2 |
| 4 | `while` | Conditional loop | v0.2 |
| 5 | `return` | Value return from function | v0.1 |
| 6 | `assign` | Variable binding | v0.1 |
| 7 | `call` | Function/method invocation | v0.1 |
| 8 | `binop` | Binary or comparison operation | v0.1 |
| 9 | `unary` | Unary operation | v0.2 |
| 10 | `var` | Variable reference | v0.1 |
| 11 | `const` | Literal constant | v0.1 |
| 12 | `block` | Statement sequence | v0.1 |

## 2. Mapping Innovation

The **systematic reduction** of 776 Concrete Syntax Tree (CST) node types
from 3 programming languages into these 12 IR kinds was first achieved and
published on July 28, 2026.

```
Python:    238 CST types  ─┐
Java:      296 CST types  ─┤──→  12 IR kinds  (first reduced: July 28, 2026)
JavaScript: 242 CST types  ─┘
           ───────────────
           776 total types
```
