Domain-agnostic synchronisation-analysis and honest-evaluation toolkit built on Kuramoto/UPDE phase dynamics
Project description
SCPN Phase Orchestrator
Many systems succeed or fail on timing. When thousands of microservices retry in the same instant, the synchronised surge takes the cluster down. When generators on a power grid drift out of step, the grid trips. When neurons fire in lockstep, it looks like a seizure. When fusion-plasma modes phase-lock, the reactor disrupts. These look like unrelated incidents, but they are one problem wearing different clothes: coupled rhythms drifting into — or out of — sync.
SCPN Phase Orchestrator (SPO) is an auditable assurance envelope for that problem — a Python library and CLI that wraps synchronisation analysis in sealed, replayable evidence with honest, false-alarm-controlled claim boundaries rather than one confident number. It takes the repeating signals a system already produces — waveforms, event streams, state changes — turns them into a shared language of phase (where each rhythm sits in its cycle), and gives operators a way to ask three questions, each answer bound to a reproducible record:
- What is locking together, and is that lock useful or dangerous?
- Is the system's damping falling toward a regime change? SPO estimates this where the signature is a physically deterministic mode — e.g. a grid oscillation, checked against small-signal eigenvalues. On noisier domains, generic early-warning detection is at chance at an honest operating point, and SPO is built to report that rather than overclaim (see Evidence status below).
- Which single, bounded knob could steer it back — as a reviewable, replayable proposal, before anything touches hardware.
The same representation applies to a grid operator, an SRE chasing retry storms, a plasma physicist, or a neuroscientist, because underneath these are coupled-oscillator systems. SPO ships bindings for 36 such domains (power grids, fusion, cloud queues, cardiac and EEG rhythms, swarm robotics, traffic, markets, and more) — a binding is a reusable scaffold, not a validated detector for that domain — and it never actuates blindly: every proposed change is bounded, rate-limited, and audit-logged for human review.
For specialists, in one line: an auditable synchronisation-analysis and honest-evaluation toolkit built on Kuramoto/UPDE phase dynamics — every alarm and control proposal sealed as replayable evidence — with a review-only control-proposal surface. New here? Start with Use Cases and Value Map or the Executive Overview.
Prefer to run something first? pip install scpn-phase-orchestrator && spo quickstart evidence re-verifies a real sealed record's cryptographic seals in
front of you and prints its honest, review-only verdict — you need not take our
word for it. The whole honesty loop is four spo quickstart targets in about five
minutes: simulate (power/eeg), re-verify real evidence, and auditor
a detector against a null. See the Quickstart.
Stable release (v1.0.0) — The core UPDE engine, 3-channel oscillator extraction (P/I/S), supervisor with regime management, and Rust FFI acceleration are functional and guarded by local and CI verification gates. Public capability counts are generated from the manifest below rather than maintained by hand. The public Python API — the symbols exported from
scpn_phase_orchestrator.__all__— is now covered by semantic-versioning guarantees; backward-incompatible changes to it will bump the major version. Internal modules outside that surface may still evolve.
Version: 1.0.0 Status: first stable release; public API under semantic versioning; public inventory is generated below.
Badge notes: CI, CodeQL, Scorecard, docs, package, and coverage badges are
status pointers. Capability counts are generated by tools/capability_manifest.py;
benchmark, hardware, security, and release claims require their dedicated
evidence pages and GitHub run records.
Current Release Boundary
Version 1.0.0 is the first stable release: the public Python API — the
symbols exported from scpn_phase_orchestrator.__all__ — is now covered by
semantic-versioning guarantees. It consolidates the operator, evaluation, and
assurance surfaces built up to the 0.12.0 baseline — including the honest
early-warning auditor (scpn_phase_orchestrator.evaluation and
spo audit-detector): score any detector's event-vs-null skill at a matched
false-alarm rate, with a label-permutation p-value and a hash-sealed record — the
productised form of the matched-false-alarm methodology, judging the SCPN suite, an
AR(1)/Kendall-τ baseline, or a black-box classifier on identical footing. The
release keeps the downstream accelerator chain in a single documented review
boundary:
| Release surface | What is now reviewable |
|---|---|
| PHA-C and polyglot gates | spatial, Doppler, moving-frame, delay, PID, Hodge, E/I-balance, winding, Poincaré, Koopman, ordinal-entropy, twin-confidence, swarmalator, inertial, hypergraph, spectral, and real-grid rows keep Rust, Go, Julia, Mojo, and Python evidence explicit |
| Governance and assurance | control-barrier filtering, certification packages, conformity reports, formal package evidence, post-quantum audit seals, SLSA/cosign release evidence, and production audit-key enforcement remain review-only |
| Operator surfaces | spo doctor, spo quickstart power, spo twin-confidence, spo chaos, spo supervisor-candidate, spo pmu-ieee-adapt, spo pmu-ringdown, spo audit-detector, OPC-UA/MQTT ingestion, and the WASM playground provide bounded, replayable entry points |
| Documentation posture | public API docstrings, generated capability inventory, real-data validation pages, architecture maps, release hygiene, and the current benchmark pages are aligned with code and CI gates |
| Benchmark posture | canonical reference-suite rows remain labelled as local non-isolated regression evidence unless production isolation metadata is present |
This release does not claim live accelerator, quantum, neuromorphic, PLC, or medical actuation. Those remain adapter-scoped and disabled until a separate operator-approved hardware evidence chain exists.
Why This Exists
SPO is for systems where cyclic processes either need to lock together or must be kept from locking together: power grids, fusion plasmas, cloud retry storms, industrial machines, biological rhythms, traffic networks, robotic swarms, digital twins, and differentiable oscillator research. It gives those systems a shared language of phase, coupling, coherence, regime, and bounded control.
The product value is not only simulation. The repository combines domain binding specs, physical/informational/symbolic phase extraction, Kuramoto/UPDE dynamics, supervisor and audit surfaces, optional Rust acceleration, bounded adapter bridges, and differentiable JAX layers for topology and coupling optimisation.
SPO is therefore useful in four commercial situations:
| Situation | What SPO adds |
|---|---|
| A plant, grid, service, or biological system has repeated behaviour | converts raw cycles, events, and states into comparable phase variables |
| Synchrony is valuable in one subsystem and dangerous in another | separates R_good from R_bad instead of treating coherence as one scalar |
| Control proposals must be explainable before they reach hardware | emits bounded, rate-limited, replayable review artefacts rather than hidden automation |
| A team needs one language across physics, software, and operations | represents coupling, lag, forcing, and target phase with the same K, alpha, zeta, and Psi contract |
Start with the Use Cases and Value Map if you need to understand what the software is for before choosing an API.
Executive overview (What SPO Is and What It Is Not)
SPO is a synchronisation-analysis toolkit for systems that can be expressed as coupled oscillatory processes, with a review-only control-proposal surface. It gives teams a single interface for turning telemetry into phase variables, evaluating coherence, and proposing bounded control updates with replay evidence for human review — it does not close a control loop on hardware.
In practical terms, SPO is useful when:
- A domain has reusable cycle structure (time-of-day shifts, wave timing, phase-locked loops, rhythm-driven events, spatially propagating oscillations).
- Operational teams need explainable interventions before actuation, not black-box controller outputs.
- Governance requires deterministic evidence trails, policy guardrails, and cross-language consistency checks.
SPO is not a universal AI controller, a live PLC hardening platform, or a ready-made certified hardware stack. It is a synchrony-aware simulation and control framework that can be embedded in those ecosystems after domain validation and adapter-specific evidence are attached.
The immediate commercial value is the reduction of uncertainty in phase-control projects: instead of asking whether a system is "stable" from a single metric, teams get shared, auditable artefacts for what was measured, what was proposed, what was bounded, and what was replayed.
For a compact business, operator, and technical orientation, read the Executive Overview. It explains where SPO creates value, how the pieces fit together, which surfaces are execution-ready, and which frontier tracks remain review-only until external evidence is attached.
Evidence status: what is externally validated (and what is not)
To avoid overstating what SPO can do, this separates what has been checked against an independent ground truth from what has not.
Externally validated (against an independent reference):
- Grid modal damping estimation. On the IEEE-39 and Kundur systems, SPO's estimate of the dominant electromechanical mode's growth rate matches the small-signal eigenvalue from the ANDES simulator (study §3.9) — a checkable physical quantity, not a proxy.
- The eigenvalue regime map. Across five systems (fold, pitchfork, Hopf, and the unimodal and bimodal Kuramoto transitions) the shipped detectors recover the analytic eigenvalue's real part, and the correct estimator is regime-dependent (study §3.10–3.14).
- Honest, false-alarm-controlled evaluation. A matched-false-alarm operating
point plus a permutation significance test plus a hash-sealed evidence record —
a reproducible way to test any early-warning claim (study §2). Shipped as the
detector-agnostic
scpn_phase_orchestrator.evaluationpackage and thespo audit-detectorCLI, which audit any detector's event-vs-null skill from its per-segment scores alone (see the auditor API).
Empirically at chance on real data, stated plainly: across five real modalities (grid, EEG, ecological/climate, molecular), generic early-warning detectors at an honest operating point perform at chance under a permutation-controlled test (study §3.1–3.8), consistent with the wider literature. SPO does not claim to predict tipping points in these domains. The one place a detector clears the bar is the grid, where the signature is a physically deterministic growing mode.
Not yet validated (engineering surfaces): closed-loop control, hardware / PLC / quantum / neuromorphic actuation, and live deployment are review-only and carry no field evidence.
In one line: SPO is a synchronisation-dynamics and honest-evaluation toolkit whose one externally-validated detection niche is grid modal damping against eigenvalues; it is not a validated general tipping-point predictor.
Reader Map
| Reader | What to read first | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Domain expert | Use Cases and Value Map | decide whether the system has real phase/coherence structure |
| Operator or buyer | Executive Overview | understand value, risk boundaries, and deployment posture |
| Engineer | Quickstart | validate a domainpack and run a deterministic simulation |
| Python integrator | Python Facade API | embed reviewed local simulation without shelling out to Click |
| ML researcher | Differentiable Kuramoto | use JAX layers, SAF loss, inverse coupling, and accelerator checks |
| Reviewer | Release Hygiene | verify docs, benchmarks, CI, security, and release evidence |
Evaluate It in This Order
The repository is large because it covers modelling, supervision, evidence, and deployment boundaries. Use this short route when deciding whether SPO fits a project:
- Confirm the domain has phase structure. Read the Use Cases and Value Map and reject static problems that do not contain cycles, events, waves, stages, or repeated decisions.
- Run a deterministic baseline. Use the
Quickstart or
spo demo --domain minimal_domain --steps 20before adding a custom binding. - Bind real assumptions. Move domain knowledge into
binding_spec.yaml, then validate it withspo validate. - Preserve evidence. Run with an audit log and replay it before using benchmark, dashboard, or policy outputs for review.
- Escalate only bounded proposals. Keep hardware, external services, and controller writes behind adapter-specific safety gates.
The PHA-C downstream chain now publishes review-only formal obligations for
moving-frame merge safety. Those manifests keep observed replay evidence,
predictive residual slack, and predictive phase-drift slack in separate
fixed-point fields before the Lean-targeted margins are accepted, so downstream
MIF/FRC consumers can review what was observed and what was explicitly budgeted.
The phase side is bound to the Lean PhaseBudgetBounds.budgetCertificate
predicate and phase_budget_certificate_discharges_phase_lock theorem, keeping
phase-drift review inside the same fixed-point proof lane as the spatial
merge-window budget. Acceptance benchmark records expose
formal_obligation_phase_budget_discharged so theorem metadata and arithmetic
discharge must agree before the PHA-C row passes.
This order keeps the first experience practical while making the evidence boundary visible from the start.
Security and Formal Boundary Notes
- FastAPI/Starlette surfaces require
starlette>=1.0.1,<2.0; QueueWaves production endpoints authenticate the matched route dependency and do not userequest.url.pathfor authorization decisions. - Binding specs are declarative data.
spo validate --security <spec>adds a stricter lint pass for production-facing specs and rejects duplicate YAML keys plus executable-looking configuration strings. - Release automation emits a CycloneDX SBOM, Python dependencies install from
hash-pinned lockfiles in CI, and Rust CI includes
cargo audit,cargo deny, and Miri smoke coverage for pure-Rust boundaries. - Lean proof artefacts prove fixed-point certificate predicates over review manifests. They do not prove live hardware, plant, QPU, neuromorphic, or PLC safety without separate deployment evidence and operator approval.
Value Chain
SPO is most useful when a team needs all four layers together:
| Layer | Question answered | Evidence produced |
|---|---|---|
| Domain binding | What counts as an oscillator, boundary, driver, and objective? | reviewed binding_spec.yaml plus schema validation |
| Dynamics | How do phases, couplings, lags, and forcing evolve? | deterministic Kuramoto/UPDE trajectories and order metrics |
| Supervision | Which regime are we in, and which proposal is bounded? | policy, Petri, STL, projector, and audit records |
| Productisation | Can an operator reproduce, reject, or promote the result? | replay logs, benchmark snapshots, Studio panels, and docs routes |
The key product distinction is the combination of physics-grounded synchrony models with review-first control surfaces. SPO does not hide control decisions inside a dashboard or notebook; it turns them into inspectable artefacts.

What It Does
Treats Kuramoto phase dynamics as a universal synchrony state-space. Any hierarchical coupled-cycle system — plasma, cloud infrastructure, traffic, power grids, factories, biology — maps onto the same engine.
In plain terms: if a system has repeating behaviour, SPO helps determine whether the repetitions are synchronising, whether that synchrony is useful or dangerous, and which bounded intervention should be reviewed next.
SPO then separates three questions that are often mixed together:
- Observation: what cycles, events, and states are present?
- Evidence: which phase relationships are coherent, unstable, causal, or unsafe?
- Action: which bounded knob could change the regime without bypassing review, safety tier, or replay evidence?
Core Pipeline
Domain Binder → Oscillator Extractors (P/I/S) → UPDE Engine → Supervisor → Actuation Mapper
Each stage has a production reason to exist:
| Stage | Production purpose | Failure mode it prevents |
|---|---|---|
| Domain Binder | makes assumptions explicit before execution | hidden notebook logic and unreviewed signal mappings |
| Extractors | normalise waves, events, and states into phase | comparing incompatible telemetry directly |
| UPDE Engine | evolves coupled dynamics under reproducible numerics | hand-tuned synchrony claims without equations |
| Supervisor | classifies regimes and proposes bounded actions | uncontrolled changes to sensitive knobs |
| Actuation Mapper | translates proposals into reviewed adapter contracts | direct hardware writes without replay or rate limits |
3-Channel Oscillator Model
| Channel | Source | Phase Extraction |
|---|---|---|
| Physical (P) | Continuous waveforms | Hilbert transform, zero-crossing |
| Informational (I) | Event/decision streams | Event-phase from message timing |
| Symbolic (S) | Discrete state sequences | Ring-phase θ=2πs/N, graph-walk |
4 Universal Control Knobs
| Knob | Meaning |
|---|---|
| K | Coupling strength (Knm matrix) |
| α | Phase lag (transport/actuator delays) |
| ζ | Driver strength (external forcing) |
| Ψ | Reference phase (control target) |
Dual Objective
- R_good: Coherence to maintain (actuator ↔ target phase-lock)
- R_bad: Coherence to suppress (harmful mode-locking)

Physics invariants are also executable as focused tests:
PYTHONPATH=src pytest tests/test_physics_benchmarks.py
The Kuramoto reference suite now records acceptance fields for zero
self-coupling, bounded R, identical-oscillator coherence, and the exact
two-oscillator locking law
theta_2 - theta_1 = asin((omega_2 - omega_1) / (2K)). Focused physics tests
also cover weak-coupling desynchronisation, coupling monotonicity,
external-drive entrainment, Stuart-Landau limit cycles, subcritical decay,
amplitude consensus, and zero-coupling independence. The Stuart-Landau record
now also checks the uncoupled Hopf radius sqrt(mu) and subcritical amplitude
decay before publishing acceptance.
The Petri-net record checks a four-place safety automaton as a formal
mathematics reference: every run must conserve exactly one token, visit the
four reachable markings, follow the deterministic transition cycle, and finish
on the analytically expected marking.
The ITPC polyglot record checks the Lachaux inter-trial phase-coherence
estimator across every declared backend slot, including unit coherence for
aligned trials, zero coherence for opposite-phase trials, bounded pause
persistence, and explicit unavailable-toolchain evidence.
The chimera polyglot record checks the Kuramoto-Battogtokh local-order vector
across every declared backend slot, including global phase-gauge invariance,
synchronised unit local order, disconnected zero local order, the exact
uniform-circle all-to-all reference, and explicit unavailable-toolchain
evidence.
The spectral polyglot record checks the Dörfler-Bullo combinatorial graph
Laplacian contract across every declared backend slot, including algebraic
connectivity parity, Fiedler-vector direction parity, non-negative spectral
gap, zero row sums, positive semidefiniteness, and exact uniform-path plus
complete-graph spectra.
The Hodge polyglot record checks the Jiang-style decomposition of coupling
flow into gradient, curl, and harmonic components across every declared backend
slot. It requires exact reconstruction of total phase-weighted flow,
near-zero harmonic residual for the clean symmetric plus antisymmetric split,
global phase-gauge invariance, zero curl for symmetric coupling, zero gradient
for antisymmetric coupling, the two-node antisymmetric closed form, scale
covariance, and explicit unavailable-toolchain evidence.
The embedding polyglot record checks the Takens delay-coordinate construction
used before nonlinear-state reconstruction. It requires exact delay indexing,
time-shift row consistency, Fraser-Swinney mutual-information non-negativity
and constant-signal zero behaviour, zero-lag information dominance over a
distant lag, nearest-neighbour self-exclusion on a line lattice, direct
primitive parity where a backend exposes the primitive, and public dispatch
parity for the complete Rust/Mojo/Julia/Go/Python fallback chain.
The transfer-entropy polyglot record checks the Schreiber histogram estimator
used for directed information flow. It requires direct scalar parity,
pairwise-matrix parity, scalar-matrix consistency for TE(i -> j), zero
matrix diagonal, non-negative entropy-bounded scores, preservation of a known
causal direction, phase-wrapping invariance, short-series zero behaviour,
public fallback-dispatch parity, and explicit unavailable-toolchain evidence.
The entropy-production polyglot record checks the Acebrón overdamped-Kuramoto
dissipation rate. It requires exact formula parity against
sum(dtheta_dt ** 2) * dt, non-negative rates, zero dissipation at fixed
points and zero timestep, linear timestep scaling, quadratic scaling under
the global coupling scalar when natural frequencies are zero, global
phase-gauge invariance, oscillator permutation invariance, public
fallback-dispatch parity, and explicit unavailable-toolchain evidence.
The PHA-C reference rows check the downstream accelerator acceptance chain:
moving-frame handoff records, trajectory timeline records, and the aggregate
spatial/Doppler/moving-frame/merge-window acceptance record. They keep the
claim boundary review-only and non-actuating while making the full PHA-C chain
visible in the canonical benchmark snapshot. The merge-window row now requires
wrapped phase dispersion, axial spatial dispersion, consecutive joint locks,
tolerance-profile evidence, and signed-margin equation replay before downstream
handoff records consume the report. Each downstream PHA-C row now
requires hash-replay validation of the canonical handoff, timeline, or
acceptance payload before acceptance, so tampered scalar evidence and unsafe
claim-boundary edits are rejected without needing the original raw arrays. The
same rows also publish signed phase/spatial margins: per-sample margins in the
handoff, minimum trajectory margins in the timeline, and aggregate maximum
dispersion/minimum margin evidence in the acceptance record. Merge-window,
handoff, timeline, and acceptance benchmark rows expose signed-margin equation
validation so the
reviewed margin must equal tolerance minus maximum dispersion for both phase
and spatial evidence. Moving-frame and acceptance rows also sign the ballistic
axial certificate
z[t+1] = z[t] + v[t] * dt, max absolute velocity, and path-length evidence so
polyglot phase parity cannot mask a mechanically invalid coordinate update;
moving-frame rows now publish explicit equation validation for final position,
maximum absolute velocity, and path length, and acceptance rows now require the
same kinematic equation validation before the aggregate PHA-C chain can pass.
Merge-window, handoff, and acceptance benchmark rows also publish
phase_margin_equation_validated, spatial_margin_equation_validated,
signed_margin_equations_validated, and margin_replay_tolerance; the gate
fails unless every declared backend row proves
min_margin = tolerance - max_dispersion for both phase and spatial evidence.
Acceptance rows additionally emit and verify a
PHACKinematicProofObligation manifest that maps the accepted runtime envelope
onto SPOFormal.Kinematic.KinematicBounds and requires the Lean
manifest to carry the acceptance record's kinematic equation replay status,
so formal review remains bound to mechanically valid moving-frame summaries.
The row must discharge the combined KinematicBounds.acceptanceCertificate
predicate through
acceptance_certificate_discharges_runtime_preconditions, which joins the
spatial Gronwall budget, phase-budget certificate, and acceptance
kinematic-equation replay certificate before the row can pass. The Rust, Go,
Julia, and Mojo downstream rows are explicitly labelled as source-contract
validation rows until native downstream kernels land; native_kernel_count
remains zero in the current snapshot.
The manifest carries the terminal Gronwall budget, signed Gronwall margin, and
budget-trace hash, which keeps non-zero Lipschitz gain envelopes reviewable
instead of forcing every PHA-C formal handoff into a zero-gain replay.
It also carries the sampled time-step, horizon-time, velocity-rate, and
residual-rate assumptions used to derive the discrete Lean drive bound. The
residual lane now records explicit configured coupling-residual slack as
separate provenance from the observed moving-frame kinematic residual, so
MIF/FRC consumers can review predictive residual envelopes without overloading
the relative-velocity term. The continuous-rate layer is explicit in every
benchmark row. The formal manifest also targets SPOFormal.Continuous, where
per-second drive rates are sampled over the full reviewed horizon and
discharged by
continuous_envelope_certificate_discharges_horizon before the row can pass.
Timing fields in the checked-in reference snapshot are local regression and parity evidence unless the run metadata states CPU/core isolation and host-load controls. They are not production throughput claims by themselves.
Hardware Integration Boundary
Real hardware access is adapter-scoped and opt-in:
| Surface | Status | Safety boundary |
|---|---|---|
| BrainFlow sensor input | Optional real EEG/PPG/EMG read adapter | requires brainflow; no actuation writes |
| Modbus/TLS SCADA | Optional real PLC/DCS read/write adapter | mutual TLS client certs plus mandatory server verification |
| Plain Modbus TCP | Lab/isolated-network adapter | not for production writes across routable networks |
| Quantum/neuromorphic targets | Review artefact generation | execution and hardware writes remain disabled |
Hardware deployment details are documented in
docs/guide/adapters.md. Quantum and neuromorphic
compiler outputs are intentionally handoff artefacts until a verified external
hardware execution pipeline is attached.
For development, clone the repo and install in editable mode:
git clone https://github.com/anulum/scpn-phase-orchestrator.git
cd scpn-phase-orchestrator
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Release and Evidence Posture
| Surface | Current posture | Where to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Documentation | MkDocs public site with onboarding, tutorials, API references, guides, notebooks, and roadmap | mkdocs build, docs/index.md, and mkdocs.yml |
| Capability inventory | generated static counts, not edited by hand | tools/capability_manifest.py and docs/_generated/ |
| Benchmarks | regression gate and dated reference snapshots | bench/, benchmarks/, and docs/galleries/reference_benchmark_snapshot.md |
| Security | CodeQL, dependency scanning, secret scanning, ingress hardening, and safe config loaders | GitHub Security tab and security docs |
| Release | semantic versioned package metadata and changelog | pyproject.toml, CHANGELOG.md, tags, and GitHub releases |
Production Judgement Checklist
Before presenting an SPO result as operational evidence, capture:
| Requirement | Evidence |
|---|---|
| Domain assumptions | reviewed binding spec, source mapping, and safety tier |
| Numerical path | engine, solver, timestep, seed, and backend status |
| Replayability | hash-linked audit log plus spo replay --verify output |
| Benchmark context | command, platform, dependency versions, and isolation label |
| Human review | bounded ControlAction proposal and projector limits |
| Documentation route | guide, tutorial, notebook, or API page for the used surface |
If one of these entries is missing, treat the result as exploratory until the evidence is attached.
Platform Support
| Platform | Python engine | Rust FFI (optional) |
|---|---|---|
| Linux | Full | Full |
| macOS | Full | Full |
| Windows | Full | Experimental (requires MSVC toolchain) |
The PyPI package is pure Python. Rust FFI provides optional acceleration and
is built from source into the selected Python environment with
python tools/install_spo_kernel.py --release or
make bridge PYTHON=.venv/bin/python.

Adding a Domain
- Create
domainpacks/<name>/binding_spec.yamldeclaring layers, oscillator families, coupling, drivers, objectives, and boundaries. - Optionally add
policy.yamlfor declarative supervisor rules. - Validate:
spo validate domainpacks/<name>/binding_spec.yaml - Run:
spo run domainpacks/<name>/binding_spec.yaml --steps 1000
See metaphysics_demo for a full
example exercising all three channels, imprint modulation, geometry
projection, and policy-driven control. Spec format reference:
binding_spec.schema.json.
