+"""Tri-fold semiring for subject/predicate/object reasoning chains.
+
+This module introduces :class:`TriFoldSemiring`, a lightweight semiring whose
+elements are four-channel log-score tuples ``(s, p, o, c)`` representing the
+confidence of subject, predicate, object, and their shared centre context.
+
+The semiring follows log-domain arithmetic:
+
+* ``combine`` performs component-wise addition across sequential reasoning
+  steps, matching multiplication in probability space while remaining stable
+  for negative log-scores.
+* ``aggregate`` selects the component-wise maximum across alternative paths
+  (best path semantics in log-space).
+
+Helper utilities are provided to pack/unpack tri-fold tensors and to perform
+``fold``/``unfold`` operations (:math:`\Phi`/ :math:`\Psi`) that share signal
+between the outer channels (subject/predicate/object) and the centre channel.
