Genetic expression engine for constraint-theory — one fixed genome, adaptive protein expression
Project description
flux-genome
Genetic expression engine for constraint theory — a fixed genome where different environments activate different genes, producing domain-specific constraint checkers from shared DNA.
pip install -e .
Requires Python 3.9+ and numpy.
How It Works
The system is built on a biological metaphor that maps surprisingly well to constraint engineering:
| Biology | flux-genome |
|---|---|
| DNA | Tensor-Penrose structure (Eisenstein lattice, cyclotomic fields) |
| Ribosome | Reads DNA, assembles constraint-checking procedures |
| Proteins | Executable constraint checkers |
| Gene expression | Which proteins get built depends on environment |
| Promoters | Genes that activate other genes |
| Silencers | Genes that suppress others |
| Mutation | Sediment layers modify protein structure over time |
The critical insight: the genome is FIXED, expression is ADAPTIVE. The same 25-gene genome contains checkers for maritime, medical, automotive, aerospace, and industrial domains. The environment determines which genes activate. A maritime deployment produces completely different constraint procedures than a medical one — from the same DNA.
The Expression Pipeline
Genome (25 genes, fixed)
↓ Ribosome reads it
Transcript Profile (which genes are active in this environment)
↓ Ribosome translates
Proteins (executable constraint checkers)
↓ Incubator runs them against data
Results (violations, active genes, expression levels)
Promoters and silencers create gene-gene interactions: activating a safety_critical gene might promote regulatory genes (SOLAS, ISO-26262) that would otherwise stay dormant.
What This Module Does
It provides a fixed 25-gene constraint genome across 5 domains, plus the machinery to express domain-specific constraint checkers from that genome. You describe your environment (domain, regulatory requirements) and the system activates the right genes, builds the right proteins, and checks your data.
Quick Start
import numpy as np
from flux_genome import constraint_genome, Incubator
# Get the built-in genome (25 genes, 5 domains)
genome = constraint_genome()
# Express constraint proteins for a maritime environment
incubator = Incubator(genome)
data = np.random.randn(10, 8) # your sensor data
result = incubator.express({"domain": "maritime", "regulatory": True}, data)
# Which genes activated?
print(result["profile"].active_genes)
print(result["profile"].strongly_expressed)
# Violation results
for protein_id, info in result["results"].items():
print(f"{protein_id}: {info['violations']} violations")
Core API
Gene
A unit of genetic information — a constraint checker with environment-dependent activation:
from flux_genome import Gene
gene = Gene(
gene_id="my_constraint",
structure=np.array([1.0, 0.0]), # Eisenstein lattice point
expression_conditions={"domain": "medical", "safety_critical": True},
protein_template=my_checker_function,
promoters=["other_gene"], # activated by other genes
domain="medical",
)
Genome
The complete DNA — fixed, contains all possible proteins:
from flux_genome import Genome
genome = Genome()
genome.add_gene(gene)
print(genome.gene_count, genome.domains)
Ribosome
Reads the genome and builds proteins:
from flux_genome import Ribosome
ribosome = Ribosome()
profile = ribosome.transcript(genome, {"domain": "medical"})
proteins = ribosome.translate_profile(genome, profile)
Incubator
The full pipeline — genome + environment → proteins → results:
from flux_genome import Incubator
incubator = Incubator(genome)
result = incubator.express(environment, data)

make_spectral_check(max_peak) |
Spectral purity |
make_fault_tolerance_check(min_survivors) |
Fault tolerance |
The Built-in Genome
constraint_genome() returns 25 genes across 5 domains:
| Domain | Genes |
|---|---|
| Maritime (5) | nav_position, nav_heading, nav_stability, solas_compliance, wave_response |
| Medical (5) | patient_vitals, drug_dosage, alarms, iec62304, contamination |
| Automotive (5) | speed_limit, brake_distance, iso26262, latency_auto, redundancy_auto |
| Aerospace (5) | altitude, g_force, do178c, spectral_purity, fault_tolerance |
| Industrial (5) | temperature, emissions, corrosion, throughput, iec61511 |
Each domain's genes only activate when the environment matches. Regulatory genes (SOLAS, ISO-26262, DO-178C, etc.) require both domain match AND regulatory=True.
