public final class PropositionDefinition
extends AbstractDataTransferObject
implements PropositionDefinitionContract

Concrete model object implementation of KRMS Proposition. Immutable. Instances of Proposition can be (un)marshalled to and from XML. There are three main types of Propositions: 1. Compound Propositions - a proposition consisting of other propositions and a boolean algebra operator (AND, OR) defining how to evaluate those propositions. 2. Parameterized Propositions - a proposition which is parameterized by some set of values, evaluation logic is implemented by hand and returns true or false 3. Simple Propositions - a proposition of the form lhs op rhs where lhs=left-hand side, rhs=right-hand side, and op=operator Propositions are reference by a rule or another proposition (in the case of compound propositions). Propositions are never re-used across multiple rules. Each proposition can have zero or more parameters. The proposition parameter is the primary data element used to define the proposition. (@see PropositionParameter)
