Process-Oriented Programming (POP) SDK for Python

POP SDK (Process-Oriented Programming)

A Transactional, Context-Driven Framework for AI Agents & Complex Systems.

POP (Process-Oriented Programming) is a paradigm shift from OOP. Instead of encapsulating state and behavior together, POP decouples them completely:

• Context: Dumb Data structures (State).
• Process: Pure Functions (Behavior) that transform Context.
• Guard: Strict Permissions & Transactional Integrity.

🌟 Key Features

• Transactional State: ACID-like memory transactions. Changes are isolated until commit. Rollbacks on error.
• Deep Isolation: Nested lists/dictionaries are automatically shadowed. Modification of deep state never leaks to the main context until approved.
• Strict Contracts: Define inputs and outputs for every process. Runtime enforcement prevents "State Spaghetti".
• Zero-Dependency Core: Pure Python. Compatible with PyTorch/TensorFlow/NumPy environments.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Define Context

from dataclasses import dataclass
from pop import BaseGlobalContext, BaseDomainContext, BaseSystemContext

@dataclass
class MyGlobal(BaseGlobalContext):
    counter: int = 0

@dataclass
class MyDomain(BaseDomainContext):
    data: list = None

@dataclass
class MySystem(BaseSystemContext):
    global_ctx: MyGlobal
    domain_ctx: MyDomain

2. Define Processes

from pop import process

@process(
    inputs=['global.counter'], 
    outputs=['global.counter']
)
def increment(ctx):
    ctx.global_ctx.counter += 1
    return "Incremented"

3. Run Engine

from pop import POPEngine

# Init System
system = MySystem(MyGlobal(), MyDomain(data=[]))
engine = POPEngine(system)

# Register & Run
engine.register_process("p_inc", increment)
result = engine.run_process("p_inc")

print(f"Counter: {system.global_ctx.counter}")  # Output: 1

🛡️ Architecture

The Context Guard

Every process runs inside a ContextGuard. This guard:

1. Whitelists Access: Can only read what is in inputs and write to outputs.
2. Proxies Writes: All writes go to a generic Transaction layer.
3. Prevent Leaks: Proxies are "Auto-Unwrapped" to preventing Zombie references.

Delta Engine

State changes are stored as a list of DeltaEntry operations.

• Commit: Applies entries to the real object.
• Rollback: Helper function reverses changes (Time Travel).
