# IEEE Bridge Implementation Summary

## What Was Implemented

### 1. NumPy Bridge (`numpy_bridge.py`)
- **TRArray**: Efficient transreal array representation with separate value and tag arrays
- **Conversions**: `from_numpy()` and `to_numpy()` for seamless NumPy integration
- **Utilities**:
  - `count_tags()`: Count elements by tag type
  - `where_real()`: Find indices of REAL elements
  - `real_values()`: Extract only REAL values
  - `clip_infinities()`: Convert infinities to large finite values
  - `validate_array()`: Input validation
  - `check_finite()`: Ensure all values are REAL

### 2. PyTorch Bridge (`torch_bridge.py`)
- **TRTensor**: PyTorch-compatible transreal tensor with gradient support
- **Conversions**: `from_torch()` and `to_torch()` with automatic differentiation
- **Features**:
  - GPU support (`.cuda()`, `.cpu()`, `.to()`)
  - Automatic Mask-REAL in backward pass
  - `TRFunction` base class for custom operations
  - Gradient tracking for REAL values only
- **Utilities**:
  - `mask_real_backward()`: Apply Mask-REAL to gradients
  - `tr_tensor_from_list()`: Create TRTensor from lists
  - `batch_from_scalars()`: Batch TRScalar conversion

### 3. JAX Bridge (`jax_bridge.py`)
- **TRJaxArray**: JAX-compatible transreal array as pytree
- **Conversions**: `from_jax()` and `to_jax()`
- **Operations**:
  - `tr_add_jax()`: JIT-compiled TR addition
  - `tr_mul_jax()`: JIT-compiled TR multiplication
  - Custom gradient rules with `@custom_vjp`
- **Features**:
  - Pytree registration for JAX transformations
  - Functional programming style
  - `mask_real_grad()` for gradient masking

### 4. Precision Support (`precision.py`)
- **Precision Enum**: FLOAT16, FLOAT32, FLOAT64, BFLOAT16
- **PrecisionContext**: Context manager for precision-aware operations
- **Functions**:
  - `cast_to_precision()`: Simulate precision effects
  - `with_precision()`: Apply precision to TR values
  - `check_precision_overflow()`: Detect overflow conditions
  - `precision_safe_operation()`: Operations with overflow handling
- **MixedPrecisionStrategy**: Different precisions for compute/accumulate/output
- **Analysis**:
  - `analyze_precision_requirements()`: Determine optimal precision
  - `get_precision_info()`: Precision specifications

### 5. Enhanced Core Bridge
- Updated `ieee_tr.py` to use the new numpy_bridge
- Updated `__init__.py` to export all new functionality conditionally
- Graceful handling when frameworks are not installed

## Key Design Decisions

### 1. Separate Value and Tag Storage
- Efficient memory layout for vectorized operations
- Compatible with framework-specific optimizations
- Easy masking and filtering operations

### 2. Framework-Specific Implementations
- Leverage native features (PyTorch autograd, JAX pytrees)
- Maintain framework idioms and patterns
- Optional dependencies with graceful fallbacks

### 3. Automatic Mask-REAL Integration
- Transparent gradient masking in PyTorch/JAX
- No manual intervention required
- Preserves numerical stability

### 4. Precision as First-Class Concept
- Context-based precision management
- Overflow detection and handling
- Mixed precision strategies for performance

## Usage Patterns

### Basic Conversion
```python
# NumPy
arr = np.array([1.0, np.inf, np.nan])
tr_arr = from_numpy(arr)
back = to_numpy(tr_arr)

# PyTorch
tensor = torch.tensor([1.0, float('inf')])
tr_tensor = from_torch(tensor)
back = to_torch(tr_tensor)

# JAX
jax_arr = jnp.array([1.0, jnp.inf])
tr_jax = from_jax(jax_arr)
back = to_jax(tr_jax)
```

### Precision Management
```python
# Set computation precision
with PrecisionContext(Precision.FLOAT32):
    result = expensive_computation()

# Mixed precision
strategy = MixedPrecisionStrategy(
    compute_precision=Precision.FLOAT16,
    accumulate_precision=Precision.FLOAT32
)
```

### Tag Analysis
```python
# Count and analyze tags
counts = count_tags(tr_array)
real_mask = tr_array.is_real()
inf_mask = tr_array.is_infinite()
```

## Hygiene & Semantics

### Mapping Table

| IEEE | TR |
|------|----|
| finite | (value, REAL) |
| +∞ | PINF |
| −∞ | NINF |
| NaN | PHI |

### Partial Homomorphism (Non‑NaN Regime)

If IEEE computes `x ∘ y` (∘∈{+, −, ×, ÷}) without NaN, then `Φ(x) ∘_TR Φ(y) = Φ(x ∘ y)`.

### Signed Zeros

REAL zeros retain IEEE signed‑zero; policies can use this (e.g., classify `1/±0` consistently).

### Export Policy for PHI

`PHI` (nullity) exports to IEEE `NaN` by default. Consumers may choose strict errors instead.
