Cairn: an informal proof system for agents where every node is a markdown file
Sauers_ · x · 2026-09-05
Sauers shows @littmath a visualization of a Cairn graph, where each node is a markdown file. Cairn is an informal proof system for agents that compiles/resolves dependency graphs of statements into solutions, with the author showing progressively more complex graphs. A novel idea bringing proof-style reasoning into agent workflows.
