The Term Retrieval Abstract Machine

Summary: TRAM compiles navigation and predicate evaluation for heterogeneous complex objects into a specialized abstract machine, reducing traversal costs. Demonstrated on FTDM with partial evaluation of a tuned interpreter; generalizes to other complex data models. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
