clm-kernel (0.0.13, Python package clm)

clm-kernel (0.0.13, Python >=3.11) is the Python reference kernel of the Cubical Logic Model (CLM), implementing the six logical layers (clm.layer0 through clm.layer5) with optional PyO3 acceleration via clm_rust_core.

See docs/architecture/six_layers_architecture.md and docs/spec/20-architecture/system-architecture.md for the layer boundary specification.

Architectural layers

• Layer 0 (clm/layer0/): MCard, PCard, VCard, BLAKE3 g_time provenance, RFC 8785 canonical JSON, TypedValue, and TypeLattice.
• Layer 1 (clm/layer1/): TokenMCard, PlaceMCard, TransitionMCard, bitset PlaceTypeLattice, ColoredPetriVM, and formal verification witnesses.
• Layer 2 (clm/layer2/): Unified storage backends, MCardCollection, MCardFileSystem, DirectoryManifest, ChunkManifest, PetriProcessPCard, SyncContract v1, Open Petri Pullback, and Cellular Sheaf Cohomology.
• Layer 3 (clm/layer3/): Cordis Fiber isolation, Satori speech-act envelopes, and Reticulum / mDNS mesh transport.
• Layer 4 (clm/layer4/): clm and clmEval CLIs, presentation membranes, ViewPlaceMCard, and Triad Gateway.
• Layer 5 (clm/layer5/): EpistemicPlaceMCard, LearningTransitionPCard, epistemic fitness evaluation, and telemetry guards.

Installation

Requires Python 3.11+ (uv recommended for workspace development).

pip install clm-kernel

CLI usage

clm --help
clm evaluate --file assets/clm/manifests/example.yaml

Quick start

from clm.layer0.hash import prefixed_hash
from clm.layer0.mcard import MCardPayload, create_mcard, verify_mcard_integrity

card = create_mcard(
    uri="mcard://example/greeting",
    payload=MCardPayload(kind="Text", value="payload data"),
    author="did:clm:example",
)

print(f"Content hash: {prefixed_hash(b'payload data')}")
print(f"Card hash:    {card.hash}")
assert verify_mcard_integrity(card)
