🧠 TriadicFrameworks “Regime Physics Engine” — Spec#

1. Purpose#

The Regime Physics Engine (RPE) formalizes how substrates, regimes, and observers interact across:

  • thermal systems
  • water systems
  • material systems
  • spatial/temporal scheduling

It’s not a simulator of particles; it’s a simulator of constraints, flows, and transitions.


2. Core Abstractions#

2.1 Substrate

  • Fields:

    • type (sand, stone, air, water, ecology, civic)
    • depth (m)
    • temperature (°C)
    • capacity (mass, volume, flow)
    • stability (low/med/high)
  • Role:
    Defines what is physically possible.


2.2 Regime

  • Fields:

    • name (thermal, water, material, civic)
    • bounds (min/max, thresholds)
    • state (stable, transitional, overloaded)
    • links (to other regimes)
  • Role:
    Defines what is allowed and how transitions occur.


2.3 Observer

  • Fields:

    • agent_type (human, building, system)
    • schedule (time bands)
    • demands (water, comfort, mobility)
    • permissions (which regimes it can touch)
  • Role:
    Defines what is requested from the system.


3. Dimensional Mapping#

RPE runs on the Triadic substrate:

  • negative_regime → depth, mass, stability
  • qmroot → gradients, transitions, awareness
  • positive_regime → interface, expression, ecology

Every subsystem must declare:

negative_binding: [...]
qmroot_binding:   [...]
positive_binding: [...]

4. Engine Loops#

4.1 Thermal Loop

  • Inputs: external temp curve, depth profile, occupancy
  • Outputs: ballast states, airflow routes, comfort bands

Steps:

  1. Compute subsurface baseline.
  2. Propagate heat through mass.
  3. Adjust RTT‑Inside ballasts.
  4. Flag overloads (comfort violations).

4.2 Water Loop

  • Inputs: desal capacity, dew yield, industrial demand
  • Outputs: allocation, pressure, regime flags

Steps:

  1. Allocate desal → human.
  2. Allocate dew → agriculture.
  3. Allocate recycled → industry.
  4. Enforce no aquifer use.

4.3 Material Loop

  • Inputs: excavation volume, binder capacity, infrastructure demand
  • Outputs: megalith formation, road/bridge feedstock

Steps:

  1. Convert sand → stone in forms.
  2. Track voids → habitable volume.
  3. Route surplus sand → surface infrastructure.

4.4 Governance Loop

  • Inputs: regime states, drift metrics, civic policies
  • Outputs: constraints, alerts, schedule adjustments

Steps:

  1. Monitor regime boundaries.
  2. Detect drift (e.g., water tier mixing).
  3. Enforce hard constraints.
  4. Suggest schedule/usage changes.

5. Interfaces#

5.1 Config

  • rpe.config.thermal.json
  • rpe.config.water.json
  • rpe.config.material.json
  • rpe.config.civic.json

5.2 Outputs

  • rpe.state.regimes.json
  • rpe.state.alerts.json
  • rpe.state.flows.json
