The aim of the Tetrapod project is to produce tools for **trustworthy and efficient
modeling** of problems involving mathematics as well as tools for doing **mathematical
knowledge processing**.
The main result of the project is the conception of a "doing math" involves four primary aspects
* **computation** (which produces **information**),
* **reasoning** (which produces **arguments**),
* **tabulation** (which produces **data**),
* **narration** (which produces **documents**),
that are joined by a fifth, which binds them together:
* **organisation** (which produces **ontologies**).
All in all we propose that these five aspects can be arranged in a tetrapodal structure
