A folder laid out like a program’s that no program Ingence knows matches is asked about: is it a program or not?.

software_outside_the_catalogue version 1+d1

Kind of rule: What is raised for attention (flags). Raises something for a person’s attention without concluding anything.
What it concludes: a finding
Reasoning: defeasible. A conclusion is usually right, and is retracted when a rule it names concludes against it.
What it reads: one folder at a time

Is it available in this version?#

Yes. The engine runs it.

A finding is never withdrawn. When any of these rules also concludes about the same thing, the finding records it:

installed_software_in_folder: A folder is recognized as an installed program, such as a copy of Fiji or a Python environment, from the parts it holds, a name ending .app, its program-style subfolders or a majority of program files; its files are still indexed and read, and rules about experiments leave them alone.

It stands aside beneath every folder one of these rules raises:
