v0.6.7 -- SH base-object redesign
The 0.6.x line completes the Scarcity-Hypothesis-grounded base-object redesign: the recursive ladder Unified → Groupable → Continuum → ContinuumSpace, closed under composition, with the four-quadrant wheel and the state/transition machinery built on top. The bedrock now ships the bones every dazzle-* library and aggregator composes on — pure, stdlib-only, side-effect-free by charter.
Highlights
ContinuumSpaceis closed under composition (0.6.0) — a dimension may be aContinuumor aContinuumSpace;compose()yields a space andnormal_form()folds nesting to the flat leaf product.{Continuum, ContinuumSpace, compose}is complete the way{+, ×, ^}is. Alignment became a property, not a requirement: an aligned space carries one merged presence spectrum; a product space holds independent, differently-scaled axes and refuses cross-axis navigation by design (scale-safety).is_alignedreports which.- The ladder floor (0.6.1) —
Groupable(the{minus, plus}dual that is an axis's bounds) +Unified(the0_agpre-cut form, implicitly a Groupable). Invertibility is the floor; nothing is one-way. - Continuum bridges (0.6.2) —
poles(),densify_between()(insert a named rung at the mediantFraction),Continuum.from_groupable(), and theRungValuealias. Method-additive; un-densified continua stay byte-identical. - The four-quadrant wheel (0.6.3) —
ContinuumSpace.quadrants(a1, a2) → QuadrantView: the SH-cycle four-phase wheel as a pairwise view over any two axes of the N-ary space (never a structural 2-axis limit).quadrants()/hidden_at()/agreement_diagonal()/disagreement_diagonal()/tau_steps(). Transition.kind(0.6.4, fixed 0.6.6) — the lateral / generative / one-way / refused vocabulary bridge over the existingReversibility, with a completeness guard so a new member can't go unmapped.- Serialization floor (0.6.5) —
to_dict/from_dict+SCHEMA_VERSIONonGroupable+Unified(lossless round-trip). - The inward/outward symmetry (0.6.7) —
Continuum.fibers(a per-rung INWARD sub-structure) + the unifiedchildren()/walk()/fold(): one child-relation, total over the ladder (a space's children are its axes OUTWARD, a continuum's are its fibers INWARD, a Groupable/Unified is a leaf). The recursive core, finalized.
Compatibility
- Backward-compatible — the aligned-spectrum path and existing primitives are byte-identical; new capabilities are method/field-additive (empty defaults).
- Charter-pure — stdlib-only, no I/O, no effects (enforced by
tests/test_charter.py).
