A proof-of-concept parser demonstrating that programming languages can be built entirely from mathematical notation, enabling cognitive universality in computing. MPL replaces English keywords with mathematical symbols, making programming accessible to the 80% of humanity who don't speak English. Every design decision follows the Fatima Test: "Will this make sense to a 10-year-old who doesn't speak English?" Current implementation: - Complete ANTLR 4 grammar with 70+ mathematical operators - Parser supporting all major programming paradigms - Zero grammar ambiguities - ASCII escape sequences for every Unicode symbol This release contains: - Core parser implementation - Grammar specification - Example programs - Comprehensive documentation - Whitepaper outlining the vision Note: This is a parser-only proof of concept. Programs can be parsed but not executed. The interpreter and runtime are future work.

## Security Considerations for MPL
|
|
|
|
Given MPL's unique nature as a mathematical programming language, please consider these security aspects:
|
|
|
|
### 1. Unicode Handling
|
|
- Homograph attacks using similar-looking Unicode characters
|
|
- Bidirectional text manipulation
|
|
- Unicode normalization issues
|
|
|
|
### 2. Parser Security
|
|
- Grammar ambiguities that could lead to unexpected behavior
|
|
- Resource exhaustion through complex expressions
|
|
- Injection attacks through mathematical notation
|
|
|
|
### 3. Educational Environment
|
|
- MPL is designed for educational use, including by children
|
|
- Consider the impact on learning environments
|
|
- Be mindful of accessibility features
|
|
|
|
### 4. Multi-Modal Input
|
|
- Voice input security considerations
|
|
- Visual palette tampering
|
|
- Handwriting recognition exploits
|
|
|
|
## Responsible Disclosure
|
|
|
|
We support responsible disclosure:
|
|
1. Give us reasonable time to address the issue before public disclosure
|
|
2. Avoid accessing or modifying other users' data
|
|
3. Don't perform actions that could harm the service or its users
|
|
4. Act in good faith to avoid privacy violations
|
|
|
|
## Security Best Practices for Contributors
|
|
|
|
When contributing to MPL:
|
|
|
|
1. **Input Validation**: Always validate and sanitize user input
|
|
2. **Error Handling**: Never expose internal system details in error messages
|
|
3. **Dependencies**: Keep all dependencies up to date
|
|
4. **Code Review**: All security-related changes require thorough review
|
|
5. **Testing**: Include security test cases for new features
|
