This is prototype Python/Postgres implementation of Memelang v3. This Python script receives Memelang queries, converts them to SQL, executes them on a Postgres database, then returns results as a Memelang string.
Memelang traverses a knowledge graph using only three novel operators:
]indicates a node[indicates an edge-"inverts" an edge
The basic syntax of Memelang is that some node A has some edge relation R with some node B which equals a true, false, or quantity value Q.
A[R]B=Q
# "It is true that John Adams attended Harvard"
john_adams[college]harvard=t
# List all relations (edges) for John Adams
john_adams
# List all colleges (nodes) that John Adams attended
john_adams[college]
# List all people (nodes) that attended Harvard
[college]harvard
Read the full documentation here.
Relations are stores in the meme table. Each node and edge is given an integer ID number for compact storage.
CREATE TABLE meme (
gid BIGINT,
aid BIGINT,
rid BIGINT,
bid BIGINT,
qnt DOUBLE PRECISION
);
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| gid | Represents the graph ID, equivilant to a table/database. |
| aid | A node ID of the relation (john_adams). |
| rid | R edge ID (college). |
| bid | B node ID of the relation (harvard). |
| cpr | Comparison operator ID, typically =, but can be <, >, <=, etc. |
| qnt | Quantity (0 = false, 1 = true, or other numeric values). |
String names for nodes and edges are stored in the name table:
CREATE TABLE name (
gid BIGINT,
aid BIGINT,
rid BIGINT,
bid BIGINT,
qnt VARCHAR(511)
);
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| gid | Represents the graph ID, equivilant to a table/database. |
| aid | Numeric ID (matching the aid in the meme table). |
| rid | Will always be identifier for nam. |
| bid | Numeric ID representing the type of name (e.g., full name, short name). |
| qnt | The actual string name for the entity (e.g., "John Adams"). |

Installation on Ubuntu:
# Install packages
sudo apt install -y git postgresql python3 python3-psycopg2
sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo systemctl enable postgresql
# Download files
git clone https://github.com/memelang-net/memesql3.git memesql
cd memesql
# Configure the conf.py file according to your Postgres settings
# Create database and tables
sudo python3 ./memelang.py install
# (Optional) load example presidents data
python3 ./memelang.py file ./presidents.meme
Execute a query:
python3 ./memelang.py get "john_adams[college"
# Output:
john_adams[college]harvard=t
