Make versor construction fail closed instead of synthesizing hash-derived fallback rotors. - remove pseudo-random construction fallback from unitize_versor - add signed residual helper for +1 field states vs ±1 manifold entries - validate vocab manifold entries with full residuals - document antipodal transition rotor failure contract - add focused invariant tests for versor closure and manifold validation

algebra/rotor.py — Rotor construction operators for Cl(4,1).
|
|
|
|
Rotors are operators. They live here, in algebra/, not in vocab/.
|
|
A rotor between two word-versors is a contextual, field-level concern:
|
|
it describes a transformation being applied, not a property of the vocabulary.

|
|
Compute the rotor R that rotates versor A toward versor B in Cl(4,1).
|
|
|
|
R = unitize(1 + B * reverse(A))
|
|
|
|
This is a pure construction operation — building a new algebraic object
|
|
from two input versors. unitize_versor() is the correct primitive here,
|
|
not normalize_to_versor() (which is reserved for the injection gate).
|
|
|
|
This is a pure operator — it transforms a field state, it does not
|
|
encode a position. Call this from algebra-aware field logic; never
|
|
store the result on a vocabulary structure.
|
|
|
|
Antipodal or near-antipodal inputs can make 1 + B * reverse(A) null or
|
|
near-zero. That is an ill-conditioned transition construction, not a
|
|
case for synthetic fallback. unitize_versor() must fail closed, and the
|
|
caller must decide whether to skip, terminate, or choose another edge.
|
|
|
|
Args:
|
|
A: Source versor, shape (32,), grade-normed to ±1.
|
|
B: Target versor, shape (32,), grade-normed to ±1.
|
|
|
|
Returns:
|
|
R: Unitized rotor in Cl(4,1), shape (32,).
|
|
|
|
Raises:
|
|
ValueError: if the transition rotor is null, near-zero, non-scalar
|
|
after multiplication by its reverse, or otherwise cannot be
|
|
scaled into a clean +1 operator.
