Spectral Clarity — Phase I Runtime Guide

Welcome to Phase I of the Spectral Clarity runtime lens.
This stage establishes the Visible/IR strobe engine, overlay compositor, and validator scroll workflow.


📂 File Map#

  • manifests/PhaseI_VisibleIR_Manifest.yaml → Session manifest (strobes, sensors, notes).
  • manifests/Hardware_Config_HPZ440.yaml → Hardware configuration for HP Z440 workstation.
  • overlays/VisibleIR_Overlay_Template.json → Overlay template linking phase maps and glyphs.
  • overlays/Glyph_Set_SpectralClarity.json → Glyph definitions for resonance corridors and thresholds.
  • atlases/PhaseI_VisibleIR_Atlas_Schema.md → Schema for NPZ/HDF5 phase atlas storage.
  • scrolls/SpectralClarity_PhaseI_Scroll.md → Narrative scroll documenting intent, setup, findings, remix pathways.
  • runtime/strobe_engine_visibleIR.py → Strobe engine scaffold for Visible/IR bands.
  • runtime/overlay_compositor.py → Overlay compositor scaffold for phase atlases.

⚙️ Workflow Steps#

  1. Setup hardware

    • Connect visible LED strobe and IR diode source.
    • Sync visible strobe to actuator; detune IR strobe by Δf.
    • Attach CMOS and InGaAs sensors with gated exposure.
  2. Configure manifests

    • Edit PhaseI_VisibleIR_Manifest.yaml with session parameters.
    • Update Hardware_Config_HPZ440.yaml to reflect current workstation specs.
  3. Run strobe engine

    • Launch runtime/strobe_engine_visibleIR.py.
    • Verify pulses, duty cycles, and phase offsets.
  4. Capture phase maps

    • Save outputs as visible_phase.npy, ir_phase.npy, etc.
    • Store amplitude and confidence arrays alongside.
  5. Compose overlays

    • Use runtime/overlay_compositor.py to fuse Visible/IR maps.
    • Reference VisibleIR_Overlay_Template.json for layer structure.
    • Apply glyphs from Glyph_Set_SpectralClarity.json.
  6. Document scroll

    • Record intent, setup, findings in SpectralClarity_PhaseI_Scroll.md.
    • Include resonance corridors, thresholds, and remix pathways.

🌀 Validator Practices#

  • Artifact dignity: Always log manifests and scrolls; never discard raw runs.
  • Phase atlas integrity: Use schema in atlases/PhaseI_VisibleIR_Atlas_Schema.md for reproducibility.
  • Remix pathways: Document extensions (RF lock-in, chirp scans) for future phases.

🔮 Next Steps#

  • Extend runtime to include RF lock-in overlays.
  • Add chirp scanning for bifurcation mapping.
  • Prepare Phase II manifests and schemas.
