Here are conceptual rules ideas:

In particular, the Simplified Japanese Rules can be a pragmatic start:

Obviously, you would need to replace superko, exclude territory from
sekis and add Japanese style game end phases. What you get your program
should be able to handle: detecting independently alive by the
possibility of creating the player's two-eye-formation.
Needless to say, pathological, rare cases can lead to differences from
real Japanese rules. Otherwise, Simplified Japanese Rules with the
mentioned modifications should be good enough for a program's internal
move prediction, if only it can construct representative playout
sequences from typical territories to two-eye-formations.
