scpn-control 0.2.0

SCPN Control — Neuro-symbolic Stochastic Petri Net controller for plasma control

---

scpn-control is a standalone neuro-symbolic control engine that compiles Stochastic Petri Nets into spiking neural network controllers with formal verification guarantees. Extracted from scpn-fusion-core — 48 source modules, 41 test files, 675 tests, 5 Rust crates, 14 CI jobs.

11.9 µs P50 control loop — faster than any open-source fusion code, competitive with the DIII-D PCS (4–10 kHz physics loops). See competitive analysis for full benchmarks.

Quick Start

pip install -e "."
scpn-control demo --steps 1000

Features

• Petri Net to SNN compilation -- Translates Stochastic Petri Nets into spiking neural network controllers with LIF neurons and bitstream encoding
• Formal verification -- Contract-based pre/post-condition checking on all control observations and actions
• Sub-millisecond latency -- <1ms control loop with optional Rust-accelerated kernels
• Rust acceleration -- PyO3 bindings for SCPN activation, marking update, Boris integration, SNN pools, and MPC
• Multiple controller types -- PID, MPC, H-infinity, SNN, neuro-cybernetic dual R+Z
• Grad-Shafranov solver -- Free-boundary equilibrium solver with L-mode/H-mode profile support
• Digital twin integration -- Real-time telemetry ingest, closed-loop simulation, and flight simulator
• RMSE validation -- CI-gated regression testing against DIII-D and SPARC experimental reference data
• Disruption prediction -- ML-based predictor with SPI mitigation and halo/RE physics

Paper 27 Phase Dynamics (Knm/UPDE Engine)

Implements the generalized Kuramoto-Sakaguchi mean-field model with exogenous global field driver ζ sin(Ψ − θ), per arXiv:2004.06344 and SCPN Paper 27.

Modules: src/scpn_control/phase/ (7 files)

Module	Purpose
kuramoto.py	Kuramoto-Sakaguchi step, order parameter R·e^{iΨ}, Lyapunov V/λ
knm.py	Paper 27 16×16 coupling matrix (exponential decay + calibration anchors)
upde.py	UPDE multi-layer solver with PAC gating
lyapunov_guard.py	Sliding-window stability monitor (mirrors DIRECTOR_AI CoherenceScorer)
realtime_monitor.py	Tick-by-tick UPDE + TrajectoryRecorder (HDF5/NPZ export)
ws_phase_stream.py	Async WebSocket server streaming R/V/λ per tick

Rust acceleration: upde_tick() in control-math + PyRealtimeMonitor PyO3 binding.

Live phase sync convergence (GIF fallback):

500 ticks, 16 layers × 50 oscillators, ζ=0.5. R converges to 0.92, V→0, λ settles to −0.47 (stable). Generated by tools/generate_phase_video.py.

WebSocket live stream:

# Terminal 1: start server (CLI)
scpn-control live --port 8765 --zeta 0.5

# Terminal 2: Streamlit WS client (live R/V/λ plots, guard status, control)
pip install -e ".[dashboard,ws]"
streamlit run examples/streamlit_ws_client.py

# Or embedded mode (server + client in one process)
streamlit run examples/streamlit_ws_client.py -- --embedded

E2E test with mock DIII-D shot data:

pytest tests/test_e2e_phase_diiid.py -v

Benchmarks

Python micro-benchmark:

scpn-control benchmark --n-bench 5000 --json-out

Rust Criterion benchmarks:

cd scpn-control-rs

Benchmark docs: docs/benchmarks.md

Dashboard

pip install -e ".[dashboard]"
streamlit run dashboard/control_dashboard.py

Six tabs: Trajectory Viewer, RMSE Dashboard, Timing Benchmark, Shot Replay, Phase Sync Monitor (live R/V/λ plots), Benchmark Plots (interactive Vega).

Streamlit Cloud

Live dashboard: scpn-control.streamlit.app

The phase sync dashboard runs on Streamlit Cloud with embedded server mode (no external WS server needed). Entry point: streamlit_app.py.

To deploy your own instance:

1. Fork to your GitHub
2. share.streamlit.io > New app > select streamlit_app.py
3. Deploy (auto-starts embedded PhaseStreamServer)

Rust Acceleration

cd scpn-control-rs
cargo test --workspace

# Build Python bindings
cd crates/control-python
pip install maturin
maturin develop --release
cd ../../

# Verify
python -c "import importlib.util; from scpn_control.core._rust_compat import _rust_available; print(bool(importlib.util.find_spec('scpn_control_rs') and _rust_available()))"

The Rust backend provides PyO3 bindings for:

• PyFusionKernel -- Grad-Shafranov solver
• PySnnPool / PySnnController -- Spiking neural network pools
• PyMpcController -- Model Predictive Control
• PyPlasma2D -- Digital twin
• PyTransportSolver -- Chang-Hinton + Sauter bootstrap
• PyRealtimeMonitor -- Multi-layer Kuramoto UPDE tick (phase dynamics)
• SCPN kernels -- dense_activations, marking_update, sample_firing
