dupliter 🪐

A retro BBS-style terminal simulator for the Dupliter hypothesis — an exploratory, educational tool that computes the relativistic/classical kinetic-energy ratio and a pedagogical Dupliter Stability Index (DSI).

Install

pip install dupliter

Run

# Console command
dupliter

# Or as a module
python -m dupliter

What it does

The simulator asks for three parameters and computes two metrics:

Relativistic / Classical KE ratio

ratio = 2 * (1/√(1−β²) − 1) / β²

This converges to 1.0 at low speeds (classical limit) and diverges as β → 1.

Dupliter Stability Index (DSI)

A heuristic, log-compressed composite score (0–100):

DSI ≈ [ log₁₀(ratio+1)·0.60
      + log₁₀(dm+1)·0.25
      + log₁₀(anchor+1)·0.15 ] / log₁₀(1e6+1) × 100

Note: DSI is an exploratory, educational metric — not a peer-reviewed physical quantity. It is designed for learning and hypothesis exploration.

Python API

from dupliter import relativistic_to_classical_ratio, dupliter_stability_index, verdict

ratio = relativistic_to_classical_ratio(0.5)   # β = 0.5c
dsi   = dupliter_stability_index(ratio, dm_factor=2.0, anchor_strength=3.0)
level, message = verdict(dsi)

print(f"Ratio : {ratio:.4f}")
print(f"DSI   : {dsi:.2f}  [{level}] — {message}")
