## 🎯 Core Mission

**Primary Objective**: Steward the canonical computational implementation of TNFR - a paradigm shift from modeling "things" to modeling **coherent patterns that persist through resonance**.

**Repository**: https://github.com/fermga/TNFR-Python-Engine

**Fundamental Stance**: 
- Model **coherence**, not objects
- Capture **process**, not state
- Measure **resonance**, not properties
- Think **structure**, not substance

All code, documentation, and interactions must align with TNFR physics. If a request conflicts with TNFR principles, reformulate it within the paradigm.

## 🌊 TNFR: The Paradigm Shift

### What is TNFR?

**Resonant Fractal Nature Theory** proposes a radical reconceptualization of reality:

**Traditional View** → **TNFR View**:
- Objects exist independently → **Patterns exist through resonance**
- Causality (A causes B) → **Co-organization (A and B synchronize)**
- Static properties → **Dynamic reorganization**  
- Isolated systems → **Coupled networks**
- Descriptive models → **Generative dynamics**

### The Central Insight

Reality is not made of "things" but of **coherence**—structures that persist in networks because they **resonate** with their environment. A pattern exists not because it's "stored" somewhere, but because it continuously **reorganizes** while maintaining **structural integrity** through **network coupling**.

**Analogy**: A whirlpool in a river
- Not a "thing" you can pick up
- Exists as a **coherent pattern** in flowing water
- Persists because water flow **resonates** with vortex geometry
- Disappears when flow-geometry coupling breaks
- Can nest (smaller eddies within larger vortex)

This is TNFR's model of **everything**: atoms, cells, thoughts, societies.

## ⚛️ Foundational Physics

### The Nodal Equation (Heart of TNFR)

```
∂EPI/∂t = νf · ΔNFR(t)
```

**Every node in a TNFR network evolves according to this equation**.

**Components**:
- **EPI** (Primary Information Structure): The coherent structural "form" of a node
- **νf** (Structural frequency): Rate of reorganization (Hz_str units)
- **ΔNFR** (Nodal gradient): Internal reorganization operator - "structural pressure"
- **t**: Time

**Physical Meaning**:
```
Rate of structural change = Reorganization capacity × Structural pressure
```

**Key Insights**:
1. **No capacity (νf = 0)**: Node cannot change, even under pressure (frozen/dead)
2. **No pressure (ΔNFR = 0)**: Node in equilibrium, no drive to change
3. **Both positive**: Active reorganization proportional to both factors

**Derivation Trace**:
- From information geometry: EPI as point in structural manifold
- From dynamical systems: νf as eigenfrequency of reorganization mode
- From network physics: ΔNFR as mismatch with coupled environment
- **See**: TNFR.pdf § 2.1, UNIFIED_GRAMMAR_RULES.md § Canonicity

### The Structural Triad

Every node has three essential properties:

1. **Form (EPI)**: The coherent configuration
   - Lives in Banach space B_EPI
   - Changes ONLY via structural operators
   - Can nest (fractality)

2. **Frequency (νf)**: Reorganization rate
   - Units: Hz_str (structural hertz)
   - Range: ℝ⁺ (positive reals)
   - Node "dies" when νf → 0

3. **Phase (φ or θ)**: Network synchrony
   - Range: [0, 2π) radians
   - Determines coupling compatibility
   - Must match for resonance: |φᵢ - φⱼ| ≤ Δφ_max

**Physical Analogy**: Oscillators
- Form = oscillation amplitude/shape
- Frequency = cycles per second
- Phase = timing relative to others

### Integrated Dynamics

From the nodal equation, integrating over time:

```
EPI(t_f) = EPI(t_0) + ∫[t_0 to t_f] νf(τ) · ΔNFR(τ) dτ
```

**Critical Insight**: For bounded evolution (coherence preservation):

```
∫[t_0 to t_f] νf(τ) · ΔNFR(τ) dτ  <  ∞
```

This **integral convergence requirement** is the physical basis for grammar rule U2 (CONVERGENCE & BOUNDEDNESS).

**Without stabilizers**:
- ΔNFR grows unbounded (positive feedback)
- Integral → ∞ (divergence)
- System fragments into noise

**With stabilizers**:
- Negative feedback limits ΔNFR
- Integral converges (bounded)
- Coherence preserved

## 📐 The 13 Canonical Operators

Operators are the **only way** to modify nodes in TNFR. They're not arbitrary functions—they're **resonant transformations** with rigorous physics.

### 1. Emission (AL) 🎵
**Physics**: Creates EPI from vacuum via resonant emission  
**Effect**: ∂EPI/∂t > 0, increases νf  
**When**: Starting new patterns, initializing from EPI=0  
**Grammar**: Generator (U1a)

### 2. Reception (EN) 📡  
**Physics**: Captures and integrates incoming resonance  
**Effect**: Updates EPI based on network input  
**When**: Information gathering, listening phase  
**Contract**: Must not reduce C(t)

### 3. Coherence (IL) 🔒
**Physics**: Stabilizes form through negative feedback  
**Effect**: Reduces |ΔNFR|, increases C(t)  
**When**: After changes, consolidation  
**Grammar**: Stabilizer (U2)

**Effect**: φᵢ(t) → φⱼ(t), information exchange  
**When**: Network formation, connecting nodes  
**Grammar**: Requires phase verification (U3)  
**Contract**: Only valid if |φᵢ - φⱼ| ≤ Δφ_max

### 6. Resonance (RA) 🌊
**Physics**: Amplifies and propagates patterns coherently  
**Effect**: Increases effective coupling, EPI propagation  
**When**: Pattern reinforcement, spreading coherence  
**Grammar**: Requires phase verification (U3)

### 8. Expansion (VAL) 📈
**Physics**: Increases structural complexity  
**Effect**: dim(EPI) increases

**Effect**: dim(EPI) decreases  
**When**: Simplification, dimensionality reduction

### 10. Self-organization (THOL) 🌱
**Physics**: Spontaneous autopoietic pattern formation  
**Effect**: Creates sub-EPIs, fractal structuring  
**When**: Emergent organization  
**Grammar**: Stabilizer (U2), Handler (U4a), Transformer (U4b)  
**Contract**: Preserves global form while creating sub-EPIs

### 11. Mutation (ZHIR) 🧬
**Physics**: Phase transformation at threshold  
**Effect**: θ → θ' when ΔEPI/Δt > ξ  
**When**: Qualitative state changes  
**Grammar**: Bifurcation trigger (U4a), Transformer (U4b)  
**Contract**: Requires prior IL and recent destabilizer (U4b)

### 12. Transition (NAV) ➡️
**Physics**: Regime shift, activates latent EPI  
**Effect**: Controlled trajectory through structural space  
**When**: Switching between attractor states  
**Grammar**: Generator (U1a), Closure (U1b)

### 13. Recursivity (REMESH) 🔄
**Physics**: Echoes structure across scales (operational fractality)  
**Effect**: EPI(t) references EPI(t-τ), nested operators  
**When**: Multi-scale operations, memory  
**Grammar**: Generator (U1a), Closure (U1b)

### Operator Composition

Operators combine into **sequences** that implement complex behaviors:

**Bootstrap** = [Emission, Coupling, Coherence]
**Stabilize** = [Coherence, Silence]
**Explore** = [Dissonance, Mutation, Coherence]
**Propagate** = [Resonance, Coupling]

**Critical**: All sequences must satisfy unified grammar (U1-U4).

## 📏 Unified Grammar (U1-U4)

The grammar is not arbitrary—it emerges **inevitably** from TNFR physics.

### U1: STRUCTURAL INITIATION & CLOSURE

**U1a: Initiation** (When EPI = 0)
- **Physics**: ∂EPI/∂t undefined at EPI=0
- **Requirement**: Start with generator {AL, NAV, REMESH}
- **Why**: Cannot evolve from nothing without source
- **Canonicity**: ABSOLUTE (mathematical necessity)

**U1b: Closure** (Always)
- **Physics**: Sequences as action potentials need endpoints
- **Requirement**: End with closure {SHA, NAV, REMESH, OZ}
- **Why**: Must leave system in coherent attractor
- **Canonicity**: STRONG (physical requirement)

### U2: CONVERGENCE & BOUNDEDNESS

- **Physics**: ∫νf·ΔNFR dt must converge
- **Requirement**: If {OZ, ZHIR, VAL}, then include {IL, THOL}
- **Why**: Without stabilizers, integral diverges → fragmentation
- **Proof**: Exponential growth without negative feedback
- **Canonicity**: ABSOLUTE (integral convergence theorem)

### U3: RESONANT COUPLING

- **Physics**: Resonance requires phase compatibility
- **Requirement**: If {UM, RA}, verify |φᵢ - φⱼ| ≤ Δφ_max
- **Why**: Antiphase → destructive interference (non-physical)
- **Basis**: AGENTS.md Invariant #5 + wave physics
- **Canonicity**: ABSOLUTE (resonance physics)

### U4: BIFURCATION DYNAMICS

**U4a: Triggers Need Handlers**
- **Physics**: ∂²EPI/∂t² > τ requires control
- **Requirement**: If {OZ, ZHIR}, include {THOL, IL}
- **Why**: Uncontrolled bifurcation → chaos
- **Canonicity**: STRONG (bifurcation theory)

**U4b: Transformers Need Context**
- **Physics**: Phase transitions need threshold energy
- **Requirement**: If {ZHIR, THOL}, recent destabilizer (~3 ops)
- **Why**: ΔNFR must be elevated for threshold crossing
- **Additional**: ZHIR needs prior IL (stable base)
- **Canonicity**: STRONG (threshold physics + timing)

## 🔬 Telemetry & Metrics

### Essential Measurements

**C(t)**: Total Coherence [0, 1]
- Global network stability
- C(t) > 0.7 = strong coherence
- C(t) < 0.3 = fragmentation risk

**Si**: Sense Index [0, 1+]
- Capacity for stable reorganization
- Si > 0.8 = excellent stability
- Si < 0.4 = changes may cause bifurcation

**ΔNFR**: Reorganization Gradient
- Structural pressure
- Sign: +expansion, -contraction
- Magnitude: intensity

**νf**: Structural Frequency (Hz_str)
- Reorganization rate
- νf → 0 = node death
- νf > 0 = active evolution

**Phase (φ)**: Network Synchrony [0, 2π]
- Relative timing
- Δφ = φᵢ - φⱼ determines coupling
- |Δφ| < π/2 typically required

### Telemetry Best Practices

1. **Always export**: C(t), νf, phase, Si, ΔNFR
2. **Log operators**: type, order, parameters
3. **Log events**: birth, bifurcation, collapse
4. **Format**: Human-readable + JSONL for pipelines
5. **Reproducibility**: Include seeds, timestamps

## 🛡️ Canonical Invariants (NEVER BREAK)

These define TNFR canonicity and MUST be preserved:

### 1. EPI as Coherent Form
- Changes ONLY via structural operators
- No ad-hoc mutations
- **Grammar**: U1 (INITIATION & CLOSURE)
- **Test**: Verify all EPI changes go through operators

### 2. Structural Units
- νf in Hz_str (structural hertz)
- Never relabel or mix units
- **Test**: Check all frequency assignments

### 3. ΔNFR Semantics
- Sign/magnitude modulate reorganization
- NOT an ML "error" or "loss gradient"
- **Grammar**: U2 (CONVERGENCE)
- **Test**: Verify ΔNFR physical interpretation

### 4. Operator Closure
- Operator composition → valid TNFR states
- New functions map to existing operators or defined as new operator
- **Grammar**: U1b (closure), U4 (bifurcation)
- **Test**: Verify operator sequences pass grammar

### 5. Phase Verification
- No coupling without explicit phase check
- |φᵢ - φⱼ| ≤ Δφ_max required
- **Grammar**: U3 (RESONANT COUPLING)
- **Physics**: Antiphase = destructive interference
- **Code**: `grammar.py::validate_resonant_coupling()`
- **Test**: Verify phase compatibility before coupling

### 6. Node Birth/Collapse
- Birth: sufficient νf, coupling, reduced ΔNFR
- Collapse: extreme dissonance, decoupling, νf → 0
- **Test**: Verify lifecycle conditions

### 7. Operational Fractality
- EPIs can nest without losing identity
- No flattening that breaks recursivity
- **Test**: Multi-scale tests with nested EPIs

### 8. Controlled Determinism
- Stochastic allowed BUT reproducible (seeds)
- Traceable (structural logs)
- **Test**: Same seed → same trajectory

### 9. Structural Metrics
- Expose C(t), Si, phase, νf in telemetry
- No alien metrics that dilute TNFR semantics
- **Test**: Verify metric availability

### 10. Domain Neutrality
- Trans-scale, trans-domain
- No hard-wired field-specific assumptions in core
- **Test**: Cross-domain examples work

## 🧪 Testing Requirements

### Minimum Test Coverage

**Monotonicity Tests**:
```python
def test_coherence_monotonicity():
    """Coherence must not decrease C(t) unless in dissonance test."""
    C_before = compute_coherence(G)
    apply_operator(G, node, Coherence())
    C_after = compute_coherence(G)
    assert C_after >= C_before
```

**Bifurcation Tests**:
```python
def test_dissonance_bifurcation():
    """Dissonance triggers bifurcation when ∂²EPI/∂t² > τ."""
    # Apply dissonance
    # Check if bifurcation threshold crossed
    # Verify handlers present (U4a)
```

**Propagation Tests**:
```python
def test_resonance_propagation():
    """Resonance increases effective connectivity."""
    phase_sync_before = measure_phase_sync(G)
    apply_operator(G, node, Resonance())
    phase_sync_after = measure_phase_sync(G)
    assert phase_sync_after > phase_sync_before
```

**Latency Tests**:
```python
def test_silence_latency():
    """Silence keeps EPI invariant."""
    EPI_before = G.nodes[node]['EPI']
    apply_operator(G, node, Silence())
    step(G, dt=1.0)  # Time passes
    EPI_after = G.nodes[node]['EPI']
    assert np.allclose(EPI_before, EPI_after)
```

**Mutation Tests**:
```python
def test_mutation_threshold():
    """Mutation changes θ when ΔEPI/Δt > ξ."""
    theta_before = G.nodes[node]['theta']
    # Create high ΔEPI/Δt condition
    apply_operator(G, node, Mutation())
    theta_after = G.nodes[node]['theta']
    assert theta_after != theta_before
```

### Multi-Scale Tests

Always include tests with nested EPIs (fractality):
```python
def test_nested_epi_coherence():
    """Nested EPIs maintain functional identity."""
    # Create parent EPI with sub-EPIs
    # Apply operators
    # Verify both levels maintain coherence
```

### Reproducibility Tests

```python
def test_seed_reproducibility():
    """Same seed produces identical trajectories."""
    set_seed(42)
    result1 = run_simulation(G, sequence)
    
    set_seed(42)
    result2 = run_simulation(G, sequence)
    
    assert_trajectories_equal(result1, result2)
```

## 🚀 Advanced Topics

### Developing TNFR Theory

When extending TNFR theory:

1. **Start from physics**: Derive from nodal equation or invariants
2. **Prove canonicity**: Show inevitability (Absolute/Strong)
3. **Implement carefully**: Map clearly to operators
4. **Test rigorously**: All invariants + new predictions
5. **Document thoroughly**: Physics → Math → Code chain

### Adding New Operators

If you believe a new operator is needed:

1. **Justify physically**: What structural transformation does it represent?
2. **Derive from nodal equation**: How does it affect ∂EPI/∂t?
3. **Check necessity**: Can existing operators compose to achieve this?
4. **Define contracts**: Pre/post-conditions
5. **Map to grammar**: Which sets does it belong to?
6. **Test extensively**: All invariants + specific contracts

**Example derivation structure**:
```markdown
## Proposed Operator: [Name]

### Physical Basis
[How it emerges from TNFR physics]

### Nodal Equation Impact
∂EPI/∂t = ... [specific form]

### Contracts
- Pre: [conditions required]
- Post: [guaranteed effects]

### Grammar Classification
- Generator? Closure? Stabilizer? ...

### Tests
- [List specific test requirements]
```

### Contributing to UNIFIED_GRAMMAR_RULES.md

When adding to grammar documentation:

1. **Section structure**: [Rule] → [Physics] → [Derivation] → [Canonicity]
2. **Traceability**: Link to TNFR.pdf sections, AGENTS.md invariants
3. **Proofs**: Mathematical where Absolute, physical reasoning where Strong
4. **Examples**: Code snippets showing valid/invalid sequences

## 🔍 Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Issue**: "Sequence invalid - needs generator"
- **Cause**: Starting from EPI=0 without generator (U1a)
- **Fix**: Add [Emission, Transition, or Recursivity] at start

**Issue**: "Destabilizer without stabilizer"
- **Cause**: [Dissonance, Mutation, Expansion] without [Coherence, Self-organization] (U2)
- **Fix**: Add stabilizer after destabilizers

**Issue**: "Phase mismatch in coupling"
- **Cause**: Attempting coupling with |φᵢ - φⱼ| > Δφ_max (U3)
- **Fix**: Ensure phase compatibility before coupling

**Issue**: "Mutation without context"
- **Cause**: Mutation without recent destabilizer (U4b)
- **Fix**: Add [Dissonance/Expansion] within ~3 operators before Mutation
- **Additional**: Ensure prior Coherence for stable base

**Issue**: "C(t) decreasing unexpectedly"
- **Cause**: Violating monotonicity contract
- **Debug**: Check if coherence operator applied correctly
- **Fix**: Verify operator implementation preserves C(t)

**Issue**: "Node collapse"
- **Cause**: νf → 0 or extreme dissonance or decoupling
- **Debug**: Check telemetry: νf history, ΔNFR spikes, coupling loss
- **Fix**: Apply coherence earlier, ensure sufficient coupling

### Debugging Workflow

1. **Check telemetry**: C(t), Si, νf, phase, ΔNFR
2. **Verify grammar**: Does sequence pass U1-U4?
3. **Inspect operators**: Are contracts satisfied?
4. **Test invariants**: Which of 1-10 is violated?
5. **Trace physics**: Does behavior match nodal equation predictions?

## 💡 Philosophy

### Core Principles

**1. Physics First**: Every feature must derive from TNFR physics
**2. No Arbitrary Choices**: All decisions traceable to nodal equation or invariants
**3. Coherence Over Convenience**: Preserve theoretical integrity even if code is harder
**4. Reproducibility Always**: Every simulation must be reproducible
**5. Document the Chain**: Theory → Math → Code → Tests

### Decision Framework

When making any decision:

```python
def should_implement(feature):
    """Decision framework for TNFR changes."""
    # 1. Does it strengthen TNFR fidelity?
    if weakens_tnfr_fidelity(feature):
        return False  # Reject, even if "cleaner"
    
    # 2. Does it map to structural operators?
    if not maps_to_operators(feature):
        return False  # Must map or be new operator
    
    # 3. Does it preserve invariants?
    if violates_invariants(feature):
        return False  # Hard constraint
    
    # 4. Is it derivable from physics?
    if not derivable_from_physics(feature):
        return False  # Organizational convenience ≠ physical necessity
    
    # 5. Is it testable?
    if not testable(feature):
        return False  # No untestable magic
    
    return True  # Implement with full documentation
```

### The TNFR Mindset

**Think in patterns, not objects**:
- Not "the neuron fires" → "the neural pattern reorganizes"
- Not "the agent decides" → "the decision pattern emerges through resonance"
- Not "the system breaks" → "coherence fragments beyond coupling threshold"

**Think in dynamics, not states**:
- Not "current position" → "trajectory through structural space"
- Not "final result" → "attractor dynamics"
- Not "snapshot" → "reorganization history"

**Think in networks, not individuals**:
- Not "node property" → "network-coupled dynamics"
- Not "isolated change" → "resonant propagation"
- Not "local optimum" → "global coherence landscape"
