# Companion Annotated Bibliography: UML Analogy of the Holy Trinity

## Scope and Disclosure
This bibliography accompanies the Java model in [src/TrinityModelApp.java](src/TrinityModelApp.java).
AI involvement disclosure: this draft bibliography and annotation structure were generated with AI assistance (GPT-5.3-Codex) and then reviewed for doctrinal alignment.

## Primary Scriptural Sources

### The Holy Bible (New Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition). National Council of Churches, 1989.
Annotation: Primary textual foundation for all scriptural claims in the model. Key passages used: Deut 6:4 (divine unity), Matt 28:19 (Trinitarian baptismal formula), John 1:1/1:14/1:18 (Word's divinity and relation to the Father), John 14:26 and 15:26 (missions and procession language), John 16:13-15 (Spirit receives from the Son), John 20:22 (mission of the Spirit), Acts 5:3-4 (Spirit's divinity), 2 Cor 13:14 (triadic doxological pattern), Heb 1:3 (Son's consubstantial radiance).

## Creeds and Conciliar Sources

### Denzinger, Heinrich, and Peter Hunermann, eds. Enchiridion symbolorum definitionum et declarationum de rebus fidei et morum. 43rd ed. San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 2012.
Annotation: Standard critical source for magisterial definitions cited in the code comments as "DS" references.

### First Council of Nicaea (325) and First Council of Constantinople (381). Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed.
Annotation: Supplies the core Catholic dogmatic grammar reflected in the model: one God; Son "begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father"; Holy Spirit "the Lord, the giver of life... who proceeds from the Father [and the Son, in the Latin liturgical form]." Used to anchor claims about consubstantiality and personal distinctions.

### Fourth Lateran Council (1215), Constitution 1 (Firmiter credimus), DS 800-806.
Annotation: Authoritative source for divine simplicity in Latin Catholic doctrine. Supports the model's use of "simple" under DivineNature and the insistence that distinctions in God are relational, not compositional.

### Council of Florence (1439), Decree for the Greeks (Laetentur Caeli), DS 1300-1302.
Annotation: Central magisterial articulation for the Filioque as understood in Catholic theology: the Holy Spirit proceeds eternally from the Father and the Son as from one principle and one spiration. Directly supports the model's "spirates" claims and the aitia-closure language.

### Athanasian Creed (Quicumque vult).
Annotation: Classic Western doctrinal summary stressing co-equality/co-eternity of the three Persons and numerical unity of divine essence. Useful for concise, publication-facing statements that avoid both tritheism and modalism.

## Catechetical and Doctrinal Synthesis

### Catholic Church. Catechism of the Catholic Church. 2nd ed. Vatican City: Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 1997.
Annotation: Primary Catholic synthesis for teaching-level doctrinal precision in the code annotations. Most relevant paragraphs:
- CCC 232-237: central mystery and Trinitarian confession.
- CCC 242-248: Son's generation; Spirit's procession; Latin expression of Filioque; Father as "principle without principle" and Father+Son as one principle of Spirit's procession.
- CCC 253-255: one divine nature; real distinction of Persons by relations of origin.

## Theological Reference Works (Optional, For Expanded Publication Discussion)

### Aquinas, Thomas. Summa Theologiae. Ia, qq. 27-43.
Annotation: Classical scholastic account of processions, relations, and missions in God. Valuable if the publication wants formal metaphysical clarification of relation-of-origin language represented in the program's aitia-closure section.

### Augustine. De Trinitate.
Annotation: Foundational Western Trinitarian theology and conceptual grammar for unity of essence and distinction of Persons. Useful for historical-theological framing beyond strictly magisterial citation.
