Zero-Trust Physics

Gives how to cite a card or a solver: the service itself first (Zero-Trust Physics, its maker and its address) and the paper (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23305697), then the people whose measurements the model stands on (authors, title, year, address, and what each asks of those who use its data), each as text and BibTeX. With domain and card, or solver, the answer is for that model; with neither, it is how to cite the service itself: its name, who made it, its address and the paper.

Computes one anchored step of one card and returns the state it lands on, in decimals and exact hex, with its cryptographic proof (sha256_seal) and a receipt. parameters holds the card's phase fields, its load fields and dt_s, as describe_card gives them. A step whose request or whose landing state is outside the card is refused in one sentence, with the refusal's name in round brackets when it has one, and no proof is issued for that state. With from, the step starts from a sealed run, which is computed again first. On this open connection one address holds at most 1 physics permit at a time, and long work (a solve, a plan of runs or of solves, a run of more than 10000 steps, or a verification that computes one again) runs 1 at a time. A call that finds no permit or no place is answered "Too many concurrent physics tasks." and nothing waits: the same call sent later is answered once one is free. An answer is waited for 60 seconds, and long work is stopped there.

Describes one domain and card pair: inputs, units, bounds, step limits, reject names and meanings, advisory flags, frame slots, and worked examples. With form "short" the answer is a page, enough to write a first request: what the model is of, how it did against measurement, each input with its unit and range, the names of its stops, and a worked request. Only the full form, the answer when form is left out, has each bound's reason, the validation record and each stop's meaning: it is the form that explains a refusal and the form a result is relied on with.

Describes one solver: inputs and bounds, outputs, invariants and tolerances, refusal names and meanings, the published reference, and a worked example.

Designs a run: from a target end state to the loads of each segment that reach it, computed by the engine with no randomness, so the same request gives the same bits. request is a run_trajectory request; its numbers at the places vary names are the start, and vary gives each load's span inside the card's bounds. target is a number of the final state, a value and a tolerance. Every candidate is an ordinary run with its run_seal; one that crosses a limit is recorded refused by its name, and no value is moved back. The answer gives the timeline, its run_trajectory request and run_seal, the value reached and the miss, every candidate in order as a run_dataset plan with its dataset_seal, and a design_seal. Outcome reached; not_reached, meaning this search found none inside its caps, which is not a limit of the physics; or refused: TargetOutsideCard for a target outside the card's range, TargetBeyondReach where the card's map is monotone and a corner of the loads allowed falls short. The search is coordinate bisection, capped at 64 candidates (DESIGN_MAX_CANDIDATES), 1000000 steps (DESIGN_MAX_STEPS) and 10000 recorded frames (DESIGN_MAX_FRAMES) in all, and 4 sweeps (DESIGN_MAX_SWEEPS). verify_tape, given this whole answer as it came, designs it again and compares the two, byte for byte (the long form). On this open connection a design is long work whenever its candidates may take more than 10000 steps together. One address holds at most 1 physics permit at a time, and long work (a solve, a plan of runs or of solves, a run of more than 10000 steps, or a verification that computes one again) runs 1 at a time. A call that finds no permit or no place is answered "Too many concurrent physics tasks." and nothing waits: the same call sent later is answered once one is free. An answer is waited for 60 seconds, and long work is stopped there.

Finds where an outcome changes, and gives the run on each side. request is a run_trajectory or solve request written out, its domain and card or its solver by the name find_model or the lists give, with no from, readout or example; vary is the place of the one number to change, such as "segments[0].load.current_a", "initial.soc", "dt_s" or "parameters.load_n"; low and high are the two ends of the span, in either order: the smaller is taken as low. The span is halved to the place where the outcome or the stop name changes or, with level, where a published quantity of the final state (of a solve: of result) crosses a value or a flag turns. When both ends give the same, 7 values between them (3 for solves) are run to find a band, and the answer says so. The answer gives the run on each side as a request ready to send again, with its outcome, its stop name and sentence and the run_seal or solution_seal that request has when sent alone, the two values in decimals and exact hex, and the width between them. A side that stops before computing has no proof. The same request gives the same pair. A search is bounded, and names the bound that stops it: 64 runs (FLIP_MAX_RUNS), 1000000 steps in all (FLIP_MAX_STEPS), or 64 solves (FLIP_MAX_SOLVES), the ends included, and no new run after 20 seconds of computing (FLIP_MAX_SECONDS); the pair it gives, sent back as the span, narrows it further. On this open connection a search is long work whenever it varies a solve or its runs may take more than 10000 steps together. One address holds at most 1 physics permit at a time, and long work (a solve, a plan of runs or of solves, a run of more than 10000 steps, or a verification that computes one again) runs 1 at a time. A call that finds no permit or no place is answered "Too many concurrent physics tasks." and nothing waits: the same call sent later is answered once one is free. An answer is waited for 60 seconds, and long work is stopped there.

Finds the served model for a real thing described in plain words, such as "a lithium cell discharging in the cold". It returns the best few cards and solvers, each with fit first (the words that matched, and model_of, the one real thing it is a model of) and then accuracy (compared_with, the data it was fitted to and the data held back and compared, and accuracy_against_measurement: whether it passed the pass marks fixed before it was compared); a model's range and stops are in describe_card or describe_solver. against_measurement gives that verdict in one of five words, "met", "missed", "met in part", "held to a reference calculation" or "not held to a measurement", the word list_cards and list_solvers give on every row: it is accuracy and not fit. The two are separate: a model that failed its pass marks is still the served model of its thing. The names it gives (domain and card, or solver) are the names list_cards and list_solvers give and the names describe_card, describe_solver, cite and every other tool take. When nothing served fits it says so, having compared every card and solver, names the nearest by words and why they are not it, or says that there is no near one, and says where requests for a model go. A model is set aside when the description names another thing of its kind (another gas, another maker's cell, another planet's probe). It is matched against a fixed list of terms with no model call: the same words give the same answer.

Lists every domain and card this connection serves, each with one sentence, and count, how many there are. against_measurement is how the model did against its own measurements, in one of five words, "met", "missed", "met in part", "held to a reference calculation" or "not held to a measurement": it is accuracy and not fit, and a model that missed is still the served model of its thing.

Lists every field solver this connection serves, each with one sentence, and count, how many there are. against_measurement is how the model did against its own measurements, in one of five words, "met", "missed", "met in part", "held to a reference calculation" or "not held to a measurement": it is accuracy and not fit, and a model that missed is still the served model of its thing.

Runs a declared plan of runs on one card, or of solves of one solver, and seals the rows under one root. A plan is a list of runs, a grid over a base run, or a seeded sample over a base run; a run is a run_trajectory request without domain and card. A plan of solves names solver in place of domain and card and is a list or a grid of solve requests. The answer is small by default: the head, which holds the request, the counts and the dataset_seal, and one summary row per run; answer "states" adds each final state in decimals and "full" gives every row whole, under the same dataset_seal. A row is completed, ended, refused or unadmitted: an ended or a refused row is a run sealed up to its last landed step, and an unadmitted row is a request turned away before computing, with no seal. The seal shows the dataset was not altered after it was sealed. It does not show the engine made it: a row's request sent to run_trajectory gives the run seal to compare. The input schema says how each input is written, with a worked plan of each kind. On this open connection a dataset is returned in the answer (return "inline") and holds at most 300 runs (OPEN_MAX_DATASET_ROWS), 1000000 steps in total (OPEN_MAX_DATASET_STEPS), 10000 recorded states and an answer counted from the plan at 4194304 bytes (OPEN_MAX_DATASET_ANSWER_BYTES); a plan of solves holds the engine's own 64 and at most 15 s of them, each solve counted at its solver's measured time, which describe_solver states with the count (OPEN_PLAN_SECONDS). One address holds at most 1 physics permit at a time, and long work (a solve, a plan of runs or of solves, a run of more than 10000 steps, or a verification that computes one again) runs 1 at a time. A call that finds no permit or no place is answered "Too many concurrent physics tasks." and nothing waits: the same call sent later is answered once one is free. An answer is waited for 60 seconds, and long work is stopped there.

Runs one card from a start state through segments of steps, each under its own load, and seals the run. The answer holds the outcome, the final state in decimals and exact hex, a frame for each recorded step, the run_seal and a receipt. record_every sets which steps are recorded, about 230 characters each; the final state comes back in full whatever is recorded. readout gives named quantities in decimals without the frames, with each one's minimum and maximum over every landed step and the first step past a level; it is not part of the sealed request. from starts the run from a sealed run, which is computed again first. A run comes back in one of four ways. outcome "completed": every step landed. outcome "ended": the run reached an end its card declares, which describe_card lists under declared_ends; reject holds the end's name. outcome "refused": a step part way was refused; reject holds the name (null when the cause has none) and reject_detail the sentence. An ended or a refused run is sealed up to its last landed step, steps_landed. An error, not a result: the request was turned away before computing, in one sentence with the refusal's name in round brackets when it has one, and nothing is sealed. A sentence that begins "Physical Failure" says the state asked for or reached is outside the card; one that begins "Physical Violation" says the request, or a number in it or computed from it, is not one the engine takes. A load may be signed; load_source says by whom. The input schema says each of these in full. On this open connection one address holds at most 1 physics permit at a time, and long work (a solve, a plan of runs or of solves, a run of more than 10000 steps, or a verification that computes one again) runs 1 at a time. A call that finds no permit or no place is answered "Too many concurrent physics tasks." and nothing waits: the same call sent later is answered once one is free. An answer is waited for 60 seconds, and long work is stopped there.

Solves one field problem with one solver and seals the solution: the outcome, the result in decimals and exact hex, its invariants, the solution_seal and a receipt. parameters holds the solver's inputs as describe_solver gives them. example, in their place, is the name of a worked example describe_solver lists (example_solve, or a key beginning example_solve_), so a long worked input need not be typed again; the request is filled with that example's parameters, and the filled request is the one solved, sealed and returned as inputs. The receipt covers the request as it was written, number spellings included, while a seal covers its values: a request sent with 310 and the same request sent with 310.0 give different receipts and the same seal, so a receipt that differs between two such answers is not a sign of tampering. verify_solution verifies a solution later from this request, or its inputs, and its solution_seal. On this open connection one address holds at most 1 physics permit at a time, and long work (a solve, a plan of runs or of solves, a run of more than 10000 steps, or a verification that computes one again) runs 1 at a time. A call that finds no permit or no place is answered "Too many concurrent physics tasks." and nothing waits: the same call sent later is answered once one is free. An answer is waited for 60 seconds, and long work is stopped there.

Runs a run_trajectory request (without a readout) and compares one published quantity with the agent's measurements, each at a landed step. The answer is the error in numbers (rms, mean signed, greatest absolute, model minus measurement, each with its exact hex), the model value at every compared step in decimals (model_values) and exact (model_values_hex), and a hash of the measurements, under one seal. There is no pass or fail and no threshold: the numbers are not a verdict. The seal has no key, so it does not show who measured or who computed. genesis_seal verify-validation rebuilds the seal and the statistics from the answer alone, of a run or of a plan of solves. In place of run, solves takes a plan of solves as run_dataset takes it (solver and plan, at most 64 solves): quantity is one number the solver publishes in its result, and each measurement is {"row": <the plan's row, from 0>, "value": <number>}. The solves are sealed under one dataset_seal as run_dataset seals them, and the comparison is sealed by the same statistics, measurement hash and validation seal as a run's, with the dataset_seal in the place of the run seal and the row in the place of the step; a measured row whose solve did not converge is counted in not_reached. The same request sent again gives the same seal. On this open connection a plan of solves holds the engine's own 64 and at most 15 s of them, each solve counted at its solver's measured time, which describe_solver states with the count (OPEN_PLAN_SECONDS). One address holds at most 1 physics permit at a time, and long work (a solve, a plan of runs or of solves, a run of more than 10000 steps, or a verification that computes one again) runs 1 at a time. A call that finds no permit or no place is answered "Too many concurrent physics tasks." and nothing waits: the same call sent later is answered once one is free. An answer is waited for 60 seconds, and long work is stopped there.

Verifies the seal of a dataset. Short form: request is the run_dataset request as it was sent, and dataset_seal is the seal its answer gave. The plan is run again under run_dataset's permits and limits; the answer is holds, cause ("dataset_seal" when the seal given is not the seal the plan runs to), recomputed_dataset_seal when it holds (else no seal: run_dataset gives the true one), compared, and text_not_compared: no rows the agent holds are compared. A plan of solves is verified by this short form only. Long form: head, rows and frames_hex, the three parts a full answer carries (answer "full"), together, as they came. The rows, the root and the seal are recomputed, and row and fault name the first row changed, swapped, dropped or repeated; then the plan is run again under run_dataset's permits and limits and the engine's answer compared with it, value by value and byte for byte (cause answer_text, with differs_at and row): holds is true only when every byte is the engine's, values_hold when every value is. On this open connection a dataset is returned in the answer (return "inline") and holds at most 300 runs (OPEN_MAX_DATASET_ROWS), 1000000 steps in total (OPEN_MAX_DATASET_STEPS), 10000 recorded states and an answer counted from the plan at 4194304 bytes (OPEN_MAX_DATASET_ANSWER_BYTES); a plan of solves holds the engine's own 64 and at most 15 s of them, each solve counted at its solver's measured time, which describe_solver states with the count (OPEN_PLAN_SECONDS). One address holds at most 1 physics permit at a time, and long work (a solve, a plan of runs or of solves, a run of more than 10000 steps, or a verification that computes one again) runs 1 at a time. A call that finds no permit or no place is answered "Too many concurrent physics tasks." and nothing waits: the same call sent later is answered once one is free. An answer is waited for 60 seconds, and long work is stopped there.

Verifies the receipt at the end of one response against the text before it. It takes no physics permit. The receipt covers every byte of the response before it, the decimal values included, and shows who produced the response or when in no way: it has no key. The receipt covers the request as it was written, number spellings included, while a seal covers its values: a request sent with 310 and the same request sent with 310.0 give different receipts and the same seal, so a receipt that differs between two such answers is not a sign of tampering. Replaying the request through run_trajectory, solve or compute_step shows the engine produced it; verify_tape, verify_solution and verify_dataset with the request and its seal do that replay and compare the seals.

Verifies the seal of a solution. Short form, which needs only what is short: request is the solve request as it was sent (the answer's inputs), and solution_seal is the seal its answer gave. The request is solved again, under a physics permit and the limits and refusals of solve, and the answer is holds, cause ("solution_seal" when the seal given is not the seal the request solves to), recomputed_solution_seal and recomputed_receipt_sha256 when it holds (else no seal: solve gives the true one), compared, and text_not_compared: no answer text the agent holds is compared. Long form: the whole solve answer sent back as it came, without request. Its solution seal is recomputed from its exact hex values and the part that fails is named, then its request is solved again under a physics permit and the engine's answer compared with it, value by value and byte for byte, receipt included: holds is true only when every byte is the engine's, values_hold when every value is, else cause names the part, solution_seal (the request solves to another seal), answer_text (with differs_at, the first field that differs) or engine_version (an answer of another version). Nothing is stored, so each form answers the same on every connection. On this open connection one address holds at most 1 physics permit at a time, and long work (a solve, a plan of runs or of solves, a run of more than 10000 steps, or a verification that computes one again) runs 1 at a time. A call that finds no permit or no place is answered "Too many concurrent physics tasks." and nothing waits: the same call sent later is answered once one is free. An answer is waited for 60 seconds, and long work is stopped there.

Computes one anchored step of one card, as compute_step does: verify_step is the earlier name of compute_step, served for this one version beside it, and takes the same arguments and gives the same answer, byte for byte. The name compute_step is the one that stays. On this open connection one address holds at most 1 physics permit at a time, and long work (a solve, a plan of runs or of solves, a run of more than 10000 steps, or a verification that computes one again) runs 1 at a time. A call that finds no permit or no place is answered "Too many concurrent physics tasks." and nothing waits: the same call sent later is answered once one is free. An answer is waited for 60 seconds, and long work is stopped there.

Verifies the seal of a run. Short form, which needs only what is short: request is the run_trajectory request as it was sent, with its readout and its from when it had them (the answer's inputs holds neither), and run_seal is the seal its answer gave. The run is computed again, under a physics permit and the limits and refusals of run_trajectory, and the answer is holds (the seal given is the seal the request runs to), cause ("run_seal" when it is not), recomputed_run_seal and recomputed_receipt_sha256 when it holds (else no seal: run_trajectory gives the true one), compared, and text_not_compared: no answer text the agent holds is compared. Long form: the whole run_trajectory answer sent back as it came, without request. Its state digest and run seal are recomputed from its exact hex values, then its request is computed again under a physics permit and the engine's answer compared with it, value by value and byte for byte, receipt included: holds is true only when every byte is the engine's, values_hold when every value is, else cause names the seal, load_signature (a signed load that does not verify), answer_text (with differs_at, the first field that differs) or engine_version (an answer of another version). A chain is verified by its request with from, run_seal and chain_seal, or by links, its answers in order, each computed again from the links before it; a chained answer alone is refused (AnswerCarriesNoRequest). Nothing is stored, so each form answers the same on every connection. On this open connection one address holds at most 1 physics permit at a time, and long work (a solve, a plan of runs or of solves, a run of more than 10000 steps, or a verification that computes one again) runs 1 at a time. A call that finds no permit or no place is answered "Too many concurrent physics tasks." and nothing waits: the same call sent later is answered once one is free.
