Part of #1212. Happypig375 there: it is not correct to leave some mathematical notation out by scope alone — this is a Math OS (#746), not a CAS, and the questions with statistics, recurrences and number theory in them should be fitted as nodes with the closest symbol the mathematics uses; see if your agentic instructions need an update. They did, in two places.

  • The opening line said "AngouriMath is a computer algebra system." It now says what Goal: Math OS — a ten-year vision for AngouriMath as an open mathematical reasoning platform #746 says: a Math OS in the making, of which the computer algebra system is the part that exists.
  • One subsection added under no answer is the floor, not the target: "Not a CAS operation" is not a reason either. It names the notations that were being waved off (expectation over a distribution, probability of an event, a recurrence and its sequence's limit, divisibility, cardinality of a set, an extremum over a set, the inverse of a named function), says what fitting one as a node means — the closest existing symbol, reducing to what the library already computes, as sum and integral do — and what to do where the reduction is a theorem rather than a computation: state it and leave the answer unevaluated rather than absent.

The node designs for the seven questions this applies to are in the reply on #1212, awaiting a word on spelling before anything is built.

Happypig375 on #1212: it is not correct to leave mathematical notation out
by scope alone; the project is a Math OS, not a CAS, and the questions
with statistics, recurrences and number theory in them should be fitted
as nodes with the closest symbol the mathematics uses. Written into
AGENTS.md under the rule it belongs to -- no answer is the floor, not the
target -- with what a node reduces to and what to do where the reduction
is a theorem rather than a computation.

Part of #1212.
