cognitive-discovery-platform 0.6.0

Pure Python computational science platform — quantum simulation, FFT, optimization, probability, statistics, and more.

cognitive-discovery-platform

Open-source computational science platform for research, simulation, and discovery.

CDS brings together quantum computing simulation, statistical analysis, signal processing, optimization, probability, and scientific computing in a single, dependency-light Python package. Every module is pure Python — no NumPy or SciPy required.

The platform also includes built-in support for structured hypothesis generation, making it easier to explore ideas and connect them to simulation or analysis tools.

Currently in alpha (v0.6.0). Contributions welcome!

Vision

The long-term goal of CDS is to provide a lightweight, dependency-free platform for scientific exploration and discovery.

We aim to combine solid numerical foundations (quantum simulation, FFT, linear algebra, statistics, differential equations, etc.) with higher-level tools for hypothesis generation and research workflows.

A distinctive part is the cds.hypothesis module, which generates structured, falsifiable hypotheses with explicit assumptions and predictions. The cds hypothesis CLI command and examples/hypothesis_demo.py make this side immediately usable. Recent work has focused on making the CLI and docs more practical for day-to-day use while keeping everything readable pure Python.

The project is still early but is being actively developed with a focus on code quality, test coverage, documentation, and usability for researchers and students.

Run cds modules after installation to explore the current modules.

Recent improvements

Recent updates have aimed to make it simpler to generate and explore ideas within the platform:

• New CLI commands for browsing available modules and experimenting with hypothesis generation
• A dedicated example showing how to use the hypothesis features end-to-end
• Automation around pull requests, dependency management, and releases to free up time for core scientific work

The goal is to lower the barrier for using the discovery-oriented parts of the project and reduce time spent on routine tasks.

Contributing

See CONTRIBUTING.md for setup and guidelines.

Looking for:

• Researchers with domain expertise
• People interested in pure-Python scientific computing
• Contributors for new modules (ML basics, PDE solvers, etc.)
• People who want to help make scientific tools easier to maintain and use

Automation and Maintenance Workflows

A few GitHub Actions handle repetitive aspects of keeping the project running:

• Dependabot for regular updates to dependencies and GitHub Actions
• Automatic labeling and review checklists for pull requests
• A release process that builds and publishes on version tags

These help ensure that time spent on the project goes more toward developing new modules, improving hypothesis tools, and supporting research use cases rather than manual upkeep.

See .github/workflows/ for the current setup.

Why These Automations Exist

The project is maintained by a small team (often solo). The workflows above exist so that routine tasks (labeling PRs, running checks, cutting releases, keeping dependencies fresh) take as little time as possible. This frees hours for actual research work: improving the hypothesis tools, adding new scientific modules, writing better examples, and exploring new discovery workflows.

If you're a researcher or educator using CDS, these automations mean you can focus on the science instead of repo housekeeping.
