-- 007 Metacircular Evaluator — the language interpreting itself
--
-- This program is a 007 program that evaluates a subset of 007.
-- The compiler pipeline is a choreography of four agents:
--   Lexer → Parser → TypeChecker → Evaluator
-- Each communicates via session types. The Harvard Architecture
-- applies to the compiler itself: the AST is Data, evaluation is Control.
--
-- This demonstrates that 007 can process itself — the foundation
-- of self-hosting. It evaluates the Data Language subset (total,
-- pure, addition-only in this demonstration) which is enough to
-- prove metacircularity without requiring the full Control Language.
-- Note: 007's Data Language supports full arithmetic (+, -, *, /, %);
-- this file intentionally uses only addition to keep the proof minimal.

-- "The telescope points at itself."

-- Evaluate a Data expression
-- NOTE: This is the metacircular heart. A @total function
-- that evaluates @total data expressions. Data evaluating Data.
-- The Harvard Architecture means this function CANNOT produce
-- side effects — it is safe by construction.

    -- 1. Pattern match on the AST node type
    -- 2. For AstInt(n): return n
    -- 3. For AstAdd(l, r): return eval_data(l) + eval_data(r)

-- ============================================================
-- The metacircular point
-- ============================================================
--
-- The function eval_data is a @total Data function that evaluates
-- @total Data expressions. It lives in the Data Language and
-- processes the Data Language. This is metacircularity within
-- the Harvard Architecture:
--
--   Data evaluates Data.
--   Control orchestrates the evaluation (agents, choreography).
--   The Harvard wall is maintained at every level.
--
-- The compiler pipeline is a CONTROL structure (agents sending
-- messages). But the actual evaluation of the source program
-- is a DATA operation (total, pure; addition-only in this demo).
--
-- This means:
--   - The compiler pipeline COSTS tokens (Control, agent orchestration)
--   - The actual computation is FREE (Data, deterministic, CPU-evaluated)
--   - The token cost is in the MANAGEMENT, not the MATHEMATICS
--
-- This is the Five Facets in miniature:
--   007: agents interpret (the compiler agents choose strategies)
--   Eclexia: orchestration costs (pipeline is Control)
--   Ephapax: AST is consumed once per stage (linear pipeline)
--   JTV: evaluation is free (Data Language, total, pure)
--   Oblibeny: results are cacheable (cached branches in agents)
--
-- The telescope watches the compiler compile, and the traces
-- tell us HOW the compiler made its decisions — which is the
-- first Layer 4 data about 007's own interpretation of itself.
