## Key Design Principles

### 1. Totality
All operations are total - they never throw exceptions. Invalid operations return appropriate TR values (PINF, NINF, or PHI).

### 2. Mask-REAL Rule
Gradients are automatically zeroed when forward values are non-REAL, preventing numerical instabilities at singularities.

### 3. Epsilon-Free
No arbitrary small constants (ε) in core operations. Zero variance is handled deterministically.

### 4. Framework Agnostic
Works with pure Python, NumPy, PyTorch, and JAX. Optional dependencies handled gracefully.

### 5. Performance-Oriented
Comprehensive optimization tools while maintaining correctness. Zero-overhead when features aren't used.

## Usage Example

```python
import zeroproof as zp
from zeroproof.autodiff import TRNode, gradient_tape
from zeroproof.layers import TRRational
from zeroproof.utils import TRProfiler, memoize_tr, parallel_map

# Basic arithmetic (never throws)
result = zp.tr_div(zp.real(1.0), zp.real(0.0))  # PINF

# Autodiff with Mask-REAL
x = TRNode.parameter(zp.real(0.0))
with gradient_tape() as tape:
    tape.watch(x)
    y = zp.tr_div(zp.real(1.0), x)  # 1/0 = PINF

grad = tape.gradient(y, x)  # 0.0 (masked)

# Neural network layer
layer = TRRational(d_p=2, d_q=1)
output, tag = layer.forward(TRNode.constant(zp.real(2.0)))

# Optimization
@memoize_tr()
@profile_tr_operation("compute")
def optimized_computation(data):
    return parallel_map(expensive_operation, data)
```

## Performance Characteristics

- **Arithmetic Operations**: ~10-20% overhead vs raw floats
- **Autodiff**: Comparable to PyTorch/TensorFlow for REAL paths

## Future Directions
