Agda and Idris look more like Haskell, and are intended to be useful for implementation (thus more in my wheelhouse). Coq is more established and may be better suited for what you want, especially if it is true there are relevant formulations (I don't know).

Yes, for focusing on logical sentences. I can imagine generalizing it to any sort of predicate, though ... kinda like a MISD system, where the cells contain the instructions and the language is like the data. Then the instructions could take any form and the "quick grok" would lie in however those cells were represented, colors, digits, alphabet, or whatever.

I did have in mind using something like Coq to evaluate the status of each cell.
