Spectral Algebraics v1.0.1 — E8 Audio-Visual Toolkit (Stability & Sync Release)

Release date: 2025-11-09
Repository: https://github.com/QSOLKCB/SPECTRAL
License: Apache 2.0
DOI: (to be minted via Zenodo integration)


Overview

This maintenance release finalizes the Spectral Algebraics toolkit as a stable, DOI-ready software companion to the published research paper.
It unifies the E8 Fractal Power Module, visualization system, and preset-pack architecture into a single reproducible framework.
The focus for v1.0.1 is synchronization: metadata alignment, file structure cleanup, and Zenodo integration reliability.


✨ What’s New & Improved

  • Verified Zenodo ↔ GitHub integration with .zenodo.json, CITATION.cff, and proper ORCID metadata.
  • Updated README and Release Notes to match QSOL IMC DOI conventions.
  • Minor refactors for cross-platform audio handling and dependency clarity.
  • Added checksum validation for demo assets (e8_demo.wav, preset CSVs).
  • Improved documentation of preset parameters in E8_Spectral_Algebraics_PresetPack.md.
  • Adjusted color gradients and shader interpolation for consistent 3D visual output.
  • Clarified licensing (Apache 2.0) and citation instructions.

🧠 Purpose

v1.0.1 locks the Spectral Algebraics software release to the corresponding research record on Zenodo, ensuring reproducibility across QSOL IMC’s broader frameworks (UFF, QEC, AIMM).
It’s the stable archival version for long-term reference and collaboration.


🧩 Technical Details

  • Core engine: Python 3.13, NumPy, Matplotlib, PyOpenGL.
  • Visualization: OpenGL/GLSL real-time renderer + export to video frames.
  • Audio: custom E8 mapping of frequency / amplitude modulation with φ-scaled spectra.
  • Preset packs: 20 sound sets integrating ternary qutrit modulation and Coxeter-plane rotation.

🐞 Fixes

  • Removed redundant files from previous upload; adjusted paths in build_summary.py.
  • Patched Unicode errors in Windows CLI runs.
  • Corrected audio playback offset for non-44.1 kHz systems.

🚧 Known Issues

  • 4K export still in testing branch (dev-visual-enhancements).
  • Linux users may need manual PyOpenGL install.
  • High GPU load at >60 FPS visualization.

🚀 Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/QSOLKCB/SPECTRAL.git
cd SPECTRAL
pip install -r requirements.txt
python build_summary.py

python e8_fractal_power_module.py --demo

🧭 Next Steps

v1.1.0: introduce real-time WebGL frontend and Spectral Graph exports.

v2.0.0: full integration with AIMM and UFF for cross-domain semantic synthesis.
