//! # Topos-Theoretic Belief Model //! //! This module implements a belief system using topos theory, where: //! - Contexts form the objects of the base category //! - Beliefs are modeled as sheaves over contexts //! - The internal logic of the topos provides reasoning capabilities //! //! ## Key Features //! //! - **Contextual beliefs**: Beliefs depend on context //! - **Belief revision**: Update beliefs while maintaining coherence //! - **Sheaf-theoretic consistency**: Local beliefs must agree on overlaps use crate::topos::{Topos, SubobjectClassifier, InternalLogic};
