 /**
+ * This module provides a collection of functions for working with predicates and refinements.
+ *
+ * A `Predicate<A>` is a function that takes a value of type `A` and returns a boolean.
+ * It is used to check if a value satisfies a certain condition.
+ *
+ * A `Refinement<A, B>` is a special type of predicate that not only checks a condition
+ * but also provides a type guard, allowing TypeScript to narrow the type of the input
+ * value from `A` to a more specific type `B` within a conditional block.
+ *
+ * The module includes:
+ * - Basic predicates and refinements for common types (e.g., `isString`, `isNumber`).
+ * - Combinators to create new predicates from existing ones (e.g., `and`, `or`, `not`).
+ * - Advanced combinators for working with data structures (e.g., `tuple`, `struct`).
+ * - Type-level utilities for inspecting predicate and refinement types.

 /**
- * Represents the logical implication combinator for predicates. In formal
- * logic, the implication operator `->` denotes that if the first proposition
- * (antecedent) is true, then the second proposition (consequent) must also be
- * true. In simpler terms, `p implies q` can be interpreted as "if p then q". If
- * the first predicate holds, then the second predicate must hold
- * for the given context.
+ * Creates a predicate that represents a logical "if-then" rule.
+ *
+ * Think of it as a conditional promise: **"If `antecedent` holds true, then I promise `consequent` will also be true."**
  *
- * In practical terms within TypeScript, `p implies q` is equivalent to `!p || (p && q)`.
+ * This function is invaluable for defining complex validation logic where one condition dictates another.
  *
- * Note that if the antecedent is `false`, the result is `true` by default
- * because the outcome of the consequent cannot be determined.
+ * ### How It Works
  *
- * This function is useful in situations where you need to enforce rules or
- * constraints that are contingent on certain conditions.
- * It proves especially helpful in defining property tests.
+ * The rule only fails (returns `false`) when the "if" part is `true`, but the "then" part is `false`.
+ * In all other cases, the promise is considered kept, and the result is `true`.
  *
- * The example below illustrates the transitive property of order using the
- * `implies` function. In simple terms, if `a <= b` and `b <= c`, then `a <= c`
- * must be true.
+ * This includes the concept of **"vacuous truth"**: if the "if" part is `false`, the rule doesn't apply,
+ * so the promise isn't broken, and the result is `true`. (e.g., "If it rains, I'll bring an umbrella."
+ * If it doesn't rain, you haven't broken your promise, no matter what).
+ *
+ * ### Key Details
+ *
+ * - **Logical Equivalence**: `implies(p, q)` is the same as `not(p).or(q)`, or simply `!p || q`
+ *   in plain JavaScript. This can be a helpful way to reason about its behavior.
+ *
+ * - **Type-Safety Warning**: This function always returns a `Predicate`, never a type-narrowing
+ *   `Refinement`. A `true` result doesn't guarantee the `consequent` passed (it could be `true`
+ *   simply because the `antecedent` was `false`), so it cannot be used to safely narrow a type.
  *
  * @example
  * ```ts
+ * // Rule: A user can only be an admin if they also belong to the "staff" group.
  * import * as assert from "node:assert"
  * import { Predicate } from "effect"
  *
- * type Triple = {
- *   readonly a: number
- *   readonly b: number
- *   readonly c: number
+ * type User = {
+ *   isStaff: boolean
+ *   isAdmin: boolean
  * }
  *
- * const transitivity = Predicate.implies(
- *   // antecedent
- *   (input: Triple) => input.a <= input.b && input.b <= input.c,
- *   // consequent
- *   (input: Triple) => input.a <= input.c
+ * const isValidUserPermission = Predicate.implies(
+ *   // antecedent: "if" the user is an admin...
+ *   (user: User) => user.isAdmin,
+ *   // consequent: "then" they must be staff.
+ *   (user: User) => user.isStaff
  * )
  *
- * assert.equal(transitivity({ a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 }), true)
- * // antecedent is `false`, so the result is `true`
- * assert.equal(transitivity({ a: 1, b: 0, c: 0 }), true)
+ * // A non-admin who is not staff. Rule doesn't apply (antecedent is false).
+ * assert.strictEqual(isValidUserPermission({ isStaff: false, isAdmin: false }), true)
