Finite state possible world semantics using FOMA

Installation and Usage

Using this code requires the foma finite-state toolkit, which is available here. Foma is also available in the official repositories of recent versions of Ubuntu and some other Linux distros, and can be installed via apt-get or other package managers. For example, on Ubuntu:

$ sudo apt-get install foma-bin

To use the SetHack code, a special version of foma is needed to make iteration easier (and complex visualization possible). This version is available here.

Once you have foma installed, it can be invoked to read and interact with the models. The source command loads a file from disk into foma.

$ foma
(some text will appear here)
foma[0]: source rooth.fst
(some more text)
foma[0]: regex Example11;
3.3 kB. 78 states, 169 arcs, 3648 paths.
foma[1]: view
foma[1]: print dot > example11.dot
foma[1]: exit

The view command opens up a graphics window that displays the FSM. This requires the appropriate packages to be installed, depending on your system (see the foma GitHub page for more details).

To use the SetHack module, navigate to the sethack directory and invoke foma. The main.fst file contains main "program" and runs all of the necessary modules in the proper order. The DisplayLevelSimple macro can be used to create simpler visualizations of the worlds. The print words commands will then print the worlds in order; random-words will print a random set of worlds. Not that the command is print words and not print WORLDS.

$ foma

foma[0]: source main.fst

foma[0]: regex FelineCorner;
20.5 MB. 281281 states, 1342811 arcs, Cyclic.
foma[1]: regex DisplayLevelSimple(TrueWorlds(FelineCorner));
349.5 kB. 319 states, 21234 arcs, mroe than 9223372036854775807 paths.
