Minesweeper Discovery Framework (MDF)

The Minesweeper Discovery Framework transforms complex domains into Minesweeper-style puzzles to uncover hidden patterns and anomalies. By leveraging advanced theories like the χ-cycle and controller dimension, MDF enables hypothesis discovery in fields ranging from nuclear physics to prime number distributions.

Key Features

• Modular Design: Easily extendable to new domains via adapters.
• Interactive Tools: Includes a Streamlit web app and Binder notebook for demos.
• Robust Validation: Backed by 8-σ empirical evidence.

Quick Start

1. Clone the repository.
2. Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt.
3. Run the Streamlit app: streamlit run streamlit_app.py.
4. Note: This framework can operate in LLM-assisted or LLM-free modes. LLMs are optional and used only for unstructured hypothesis generation.

What This Is

This framework is not a game. It uses Minesweeper-like reasoning structures to recursively resolve hypotheses in uncertain domains using logic, constraint propagation, and confidence-driven risk assessment.

LLM-Free Mode

This tool can operate in fully symbolic, LLM-free mode using human-supplied or structured input data.

LLM Configuration

MDF supports optional integration with LLMs for advanced reasoning. To enable, configure llm.yaml in the config/ directory with your LLM API credentials. If no LLM is configured, MDF will gracefully fall back to deterministic logic.

TORUS Theory

The χ-cycle and controller dimension principles underpin MDF's hypothesis discovery engine. See Why TORUS Matters for an in-depth explanation.

Validation Tracks

• Gravitational Wave Detectors: 8-σ evidence of χ-cycle in noise patterns. Full validation.
• Prime Spirals: Recursive prime residue patterns match χ-cycle predictions. Full validation.
• Bicycle Ghost-Rider: Dynamic stabilization mirrors controller dimension. Full validation.

TORUS-Brot Demo

The TORUS-Brot fractal visualization demonstrates recursive χ-phase pattern generation derived from the TORUS-brot symbolic seed map. This fractal highlights the depth and beauty of the recursive discovery process at the heart of the framework.

TORUS 14-Lane Recursion Mode

The AI Minesweeper Discovery Framework now includes a 14-lane recursion engine based on TORUS Theory. This engine simulates parallel solving across 14 dimensions, tracking χ values and detecting resonance zones.

Features

• Deep Parallel Processing (DPP): 14 parallel lanes with cross-lane propagation.
• χ Tracking: Computes χ values for each lane and aggregates them into χ₁₄.
• Resonance Detection: Identifies stable regions and propagates knowledge across lanes.
• Divergence Handling: Handles lane collapses and updates surviving lanes.

How to Use

Run the Streamlit app and click "Run 14-Lane Recursion Engine" to see the results of the multi-lane simulation.
