Could you build this?

No Creating a machine learning framework in Bend with dependent types, type-level tensor shape checking, and formally proven laws requires advanced academic expertise in programming language theory, category theory, and compiler design.

What it would actually take: This requires implementing an automatic differentiation and tensor computation engine targeting the Bend/HVM interaction net runtime. The hard part is designing a dependently typed type system that proves tensor dimensions match at compile time and encoding formal proofs for algebraic laws of neural network operations. It demands PhD-level expertise in dependent type theory, formal verification, and massively parallel functional runtimes.
