SSTcore 0.8.18

SSTcore - Swirl String Theory Canonical Core. High-performance C++ library for knot dynamics, vortex systems, and fluid mechanics

⚙️ SSTcore: Hybrid Benchmark Engine for the Swirl-String Theory

Welcome to SSTcore, the computational backbone for the Swirl-String Theory (SST).
This hybrid C++/Python engine is designed to benchmark field-based gravity, time dilation, and EM swirl-field dynamics using modern numerical methods and a large helping of theoretical audacity. This repository contains the core engine, simulation scripts, and visualizations to explore the swirling depths of æther dynamics. We build the C++ SST-Bindings first, and then we can import it into benchmark Python code. When using the C++ SST-bindings to do hard calculations we can run / render Python simulations 10-100x faster.

Installation Options

Python Package

pip install SSTcore

Resources na pip install (via import)
Na pip install kun je het resources-pad (o.a. Knots_FourierSeries, ideal.txt) zo aanroepen:

from SSTcore import get_ideal_txt_path, get_knots_fourier_series_dir, get_resources_dir

# Basis resources-map (ideal.txt, Knots_FourierSeries, …)
resources_dir = get_resources_dir()

# Alleen Knots_FourierSeries-map
kfs_dir = get_knots_fourier_series_dir()

# Pad naar ideal.txt
ideal_path = get_ideal_txt_path()

Optioneel: stel SSTCORE_RESOURCES in om een vaste map te forceren.

SSTCORE Installation Guide (Windows)

This precompiled sstcore.cp311-win_amd64.pyd file is a pybind11 module compiled for Python 3.11 on 64-bit Windows.

✅ Installation Steps

1. Determine your Python version:

   python --version
   

2. Copy the matching .pyd file into your Python project directory. Example:

   your_project/
   ├── sstcore.cp311-win_amd64.pyd
   └── your_script.py
   

3. In your script:

   import sstcore
   

4. Use the exposed functions/classes such as:

   vortex = sstcore.VortexKnotSystem()
   vortex.initialize_trefoil_knot()
   

If you encounter an ImportError:

• Make sure the .pyd file matches your Python version and architecture (64-bit)
• Recompile using CMake and pybind11 if necessary for other OS

📦 Build & Run

I advise to make use of IDE like CLion, PyCharm or Visual Studio for building and running the project. When using CLion, you can follow these steps: You must install Visual Studio 2022 with C++ support, and then you can use CLion to build the project.

⚙️ Repair MSVC with the Visual Studio Installer

Open the Visual Studio Installer and do the following:

• Find Visual Studio 2022 Community
• Click Modify

Make sure the following are selected:

✔ Individual components: ✅ MSVC v14.3x - x64/x86 build tools ✅ Windows 10 SDK (or 11) ✅ C++ CMake tools for Windows ✅ C++ ATL/MFC support (optional) ✅ C++ Standard Library (STL) After this, reboot CLion and retry the build.

🔧 Use Clang Toolchain (if MSVC is broken)

You can switch CLion to use Clang (LLVM): Install LLVM from: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases Point CLion to clang++.exe in your toolchain settings You can still use pybind11 + C++23 this way and avoid MSVC issues altogether.

🐍 Install Python Dependencies

Make sure you have Python 3.11+ installed, then create a virtual environment and install the required packages. This might be the time to take a look at Conda, which is a package manager that can help you manage Python environments and dependencies more easily.

conda create -n  SSTcore12    python=3.12
conda activate  SSTcore12 

We now have to at least pip install pybind11 and pip install numpy to run the Python bindings. I recommend to use a requirements.txt file to manage the dependencies of the project, it will reflect my environment.

pip install -r requirements.txt

To keep file up to date: pip freeze > requirements.txt

🛠️ Get pyBind11 inside the project

mkdir -p extern
mkdir -p extern/pybind11
git clone https://github.com/pybind/pybind11.git extern/pybind11

🔨 Build C++ Core

Before building, ensure you have CMake installed and your environment is set up correctly. Download and install CMake https://cmake.org/download/

First initialize the CMake project, this results in a new directory cmake-build-debug-mingw or similar in the project. You can now use the following commands (from project root) to build the C++ core and generate the Python bindings:

mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release

This command compiles the C++ core and generates the Python bindings using pybind11.

pip install PyQtWebEngine PyQt5 pyinstaller numpy

npm Package (Node.js / Browser)

npm install sstcore

See README_NPM.md for detailed usage instructions.

📦 Test if python receives SST Bindings

python -c "import sstcore; print(sstcore)"

This should return a path to sstcore.*.pyd or the SSTcore package. This indicates that the Python bindings for SSTcore have been successfully built and installed. If this command fails, ensure that sstcore.cp311-win_amd64.pyd is found in the same directory where you run python. When it does not work, you can delete the cmake-build and build folder and try to recompile the C++ bindings from within ./build/ with cmake .. followed by cmake --build . --config Debug again.

🐍 Import the SST Bindings in Python

from SSTcore import VortexKnotSystem, biot_savart_velocity, compute_kinetic_energy

🔨 Load the C++ module dynamically from the compiled path, because the SST Bindings are not installed in the Python site-packages.

import os
module_path = os.path.abspath("C:\\workspace\\projects\\sstcore\\build\\Debug\\sstcore.cp312-win_amd64.pyd")
module_name = "sstcore"
