EML-Spectral

v1.3.0 · The physics-and-algebra companion to eml-math. Pure Python core, zero required dependencies, optional Rust acceleration and C API.

EML-tree representations of:

• Clifford algebras Cl(p, q) with the geometric product, rotors, and the sandwich product
• Octonions — 8-component non-associative normed division algebra (Fano-plane multiplication)
• Exceptional algebras — FreudenthalTripleSystem (J₃(𝕆), 27D), E7_56 (56D rep), E8_248 (adjoint), E8xE8 (heterotic)
• Lorentz-invariant operations on EMLPoints (functional spacetime namespace)
• Named GR metrics — MetricTensor.flat / schwarzschild / flrw / ads5_x_s5 / calabi_yau_3 / klebanov_strassler / heterotic_e8x8 / g2_holonomy
• Lattices — E₈ root lattice, Leech lattice, Planck-scale discrete helpers
• Spectral flow — the discrete Φ operator, racetrack fixed points, the (b₃/24)·χ_eff topological invariant

Quickstart

from eml_math import EMLPoint
from eml_spectral import (
    EMLPair, EMLMultivector, Octonion, basis_octonion,
    FreudenthalTripleSystem, E7_56, E8_248, E8xE8,
    MetricTensor, EMLNDVector, MinkowskiFourVector, FourMomentum,
    spectral_flow, racetrack_fixed_point, topology_invariant,
)
from eml_spectral import spacetime

# Lorentz-invariant Minkowski interval (preserved under boost)
p = EMLPoint(1.0, 2.718)
print(spacetime.minkowski_delta(p))
p2 = spacetime.boost(p, 0.693)
print(abs(spacetime.minkowski_delta(p) - spacetime.minkowski_delta(p2)))   # ≈ 0

# Discrete spectral flow Φ — racetrack fixed points
traj = spectral_flow(EMLPoint(1.0, 1.0), steps=10)
print(traj[-1].x, traj[-1].y)

# Schwarzschild metric — analytic Christoffel symbols
g = MetricTensor.schwarzschild(rs=2.0)
print(g.is_curved(EMLPoint(3.0, 1.0)))                                    # True

# Octonion multiplication via the Fano plane
e1, e2, e4 = basis_octonion(1), basis_octonion(2), basis_octonion(4)
print((e1 * e2).norm())                                                   # 1.0  (= e4)

# Clifford algebra rotor — preserves quadratic form
mv = EMLMultivector([EMLPoint(1, 1)] * 4, signature=(1, -1))
R = mv.rotor(angle=0.5, plane=(0, 1))
print(abs(mv.rotate(R).quadratic() - mv.quadratic()))                      # ≈ 0

# E₈ × E₈ heterotic gauge group — analytic Cabibbo proxy
ee = E8xE8()
print(ee.portal_coupling())                                                # 1/√6
print(ee.racetrack_potential()["lambda_eff"])                              # exp(−2π/24)

What's new in v1.3.0

Datasheet API

from eml_spectral import Get, list_constants

Get('E8_dim')          # {value: 248, kind: 'dimension', source: 'eml-spectral', ...}
Get('alpha_leak')      # {value: 1/√6, formula: '1/√6', kind: 'heterotic', ...}
Get('lambda_eff')      # racetrack-stabilised modulus exp(-2π/24)
Get('leech_kissing')   # 196560 — kissing number of the Leech lattice
Get('topology_invariant')  # 144 — the conserved Φ-flow Noether charge

Get('pi')              # delegated to eml-math: math.pi with EML derivation

list_constants()       # 167 total names (spectral + math, deduplicated)

Categories surfaced via the spectral catalogue:

• Algebra dimensions: g2_dim, f4_dim, e6_dim, e7_dim, e8_dim, e7_56, j3o_dim, octonion_dim, quaternion_dim, spacetime_dim, leech_dim
• Lattice constants: e8_min_norm, e8_min_norm_sq, e8_kissing (240), leech_min_norm, leech_min_norm_sq, leech_kissing (196560), d4_kissing (24)
• Topology: b3 (24), chi_eff (144), topology_invariant
• Heterotic / racetrack: alpha_leak (= portal_coupling), lambda_eff, cabibbo_proxy, n1_flux, n2_flux
• Spectral / G₂ seeds: edof, g2_seed_t_re, g2_seed_lambda
• Discrete / Planck: planck_d

Optional Rust acceleration

When the wheel ships with the prebuilt extension (or you build it yourself with maturin develop --release), batch operations dispatch to Rayon-parallel Rust:

from eml_spectral import _HAS_RUST, eml_spectral_core as core

print("Rust available:", _HAS_RUST)
print(core.spectral_flow_step(1.0, 1.0))                          # → (1.0, e)
print(core.octonion_norm_n([[1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]] * 1000))     # parallel batch
print(core.e8_min_norm_squared())                                  # 2.0

To build from source:

$env:PYO3_PYTHON = "C:\path\to\python.exe"   # Windows
cargo build --release -p eml_spectral_core
# the .pyd / .so lands in target/release; copy into src/eml_spectral/

Listed via dir(eml_spectral_core):

Optional C API

A standalone C shared library — no Python needed — lives under c_api/. Build:

cargo build --release -p eml_spectral_c_api

Outputs (in target/release/):

• eml_spectral.dll (Windows) · libeml_spectral.so (Linux) · libeml_spectral.a (static)
• c_api/eml_spectral.h — full header with extern "C" guards

Exports 14 extern "C" functions:

Minimal C example (c_api/example.c):

#include <stdio.h>
#include "eml_spectral.h"

int main(void) {
    double x, y;
    els_spectral_flow_step(1.0, 1.0, &x, &y);
    printf("Phi(1, 1) = (%g, %g)\n", x, y);   /* (1.0, 2.71828) */
    return 0;
}

Build the example (Linux/macOS):

gcc example.c -L./target/release -leml_spectral -lm -o example

Documentation

docs/ contains a static-HTML site (no build step, open files directly):

• docs/index.html — landing page with quickstart
• docs/api.html — full API reference (every public name in __all__)
• docs/guide.html — 11-section user guide
• docs/concepts.html — mathematical / physics primer
• docs/style.css — shared with eml-math for visual parity

Why a separate package?

eml-math is the universal-math toolkit (operator, expression trees, symbolic regression, flow rendering). It stays small and physics-agnostic.

eml-spectral houses every EML-tree construction that's domain-specific to physics or exceptional algebra. Splitting them lets casual users of eml-math install the core without pulling in the algebra/physics weight, while researchers add pip install eml-spectral for the full toolkit.
