If you imagine the output generated code as a superset then every line of code is part of a subset of the output code. So you need some way of generating subsets of the output set. Each set is an ordered set of instructions that generate the answer. I want to avoid brute force search, every attempt of generating a line of code should get nearer to the output. I think we have to provide heuristics of approximately what the code should do.

We can compare where the data moved through based on a path traversal of source data to destination data. Generate a patch. This has a pointer to this object to this piece of data. Input data Node1 is root Node1 children node2 Node1 children node3 Example 1 Insert a node node4 Desired Output data Node1 is root Node1 children node2 Node1 children node3 Node1 children node4 Patch Node4 inserted into node1 children Why node1? Theorise. Node1 is root Run operators against node1, node4 Len(node1.children) <= Maxsize Example 2 Node split - insert node5 Input data Root node is node1 Node1 children node2 Node1 children node3 Node1 children node4 Desired target data Root node is node3 Node3 children node1 Node3 children node2 Node3 children node4 Node4 children node5 This represents a node split as each node can only have 3 items inside it. How do we learn the rule that a node can only have 3 nodes? Insert a constant into the system of facts MaxSize is 3 Insert operators in system Len(node.children) MaxSize == Equal to >= Greater than or equal to <= Less than or equal to > Greater than < Less than Run every permutation of each operator to decide to do patch command steps. Patch instructions Node1 is no longer root node Node3 is root node Node2 children is node1 Remove node4 from node1 Why was node4 removed from node1 Why was node4 added to node3 Theorise. What fact was true. Compare node1 properties to node4 Eventually.... Len(node1.children) == MaxSize Add node4 to node3 Why? Theorise. What fact is true Node4 >= Node3 true Does >= hold for all examples? Or is it more complicated Twist operation. One goes down, one goes up and going down joins one going down. Root = A Node1 is A New root = B Twist operation is - Root = B B.children = A And see where the data moves. We need to generate the steps that deterministically creates the same structure with the same data in the right places. There shall be patterns. So there is usually a property in the object that is compared against to do a btree split. So there is at most one field or a comparison that determines the destination of the object in the btree. I thought we can randomly generate condition statements for each input object. Walk the patch and insert condition objects.
