DawsonInstitute/irrotational-warp-lab: v0.1.0 - Initial Release
Abstract
Release v0.1.0 Released: 2026-01-17 2026-01-16: Add initial history documentation for project setup and usage 2026-01-16: Update README and TASKS documentation; implement CLI sweep command and JSON output 2026-01-16: Implement M2: Einstein tensor eigenvalue diagnostics 2026-01-16: Implement M2: Einstein tensor eigenvalue diagnostics and update TASKS documentation 2026-01-16: Implement M4: Tail correction for finite-box error control 2026-01-16: Implement M5 (partial): 2D parameter sweeps with heatmap visualization 2026-01-16: Implement M5 (partial): 2D parameter sweeps with heatmap visualization 2026-01-16: Complete M5: Optimization + git provenance 2026-01-16: Implement M5: Advanced optimization framework with multi-parameter sweeps and Git provenance tracking 2026-01-16: M6 validation is now in progress with source/potentials/shift vectors implemented and validated. 2026-01-16: Add Session 7 entry: M6 validation in progress with source/potentials/shift vectors implemented 2026-01-16: Complete M6: Validation against Celmaster & Rubin (2024) 2026-01-16: Complete M6 validation and check test suite status 2026-01-16: I've confirmed the optimize CLI is currently targeting the Rodal-like compute_slice_z0() objective (minimizing |E⁻| over (sigma, v)), and I added a small "quick win" improvement: the sweep command can now optionally emit a plot (so we can immediately see neg_fraction vs sigma without extra glue). 2026-01-16: Document optimization CLI targeting and add sweep command plotting feature 2026-01-16: Run baseline optimization experiment: neg_fraction ≈ 0.50 across all parameters 2026-01-16: Document baseline optimization experiment results and scientific findings 2026-01-16: This confirms that our work is on the right track. I have successfully reproduced the key result from the Rodal (2025) paper, resolving the discrepancy we saw with the simplified baseline model. 2026-01-16: Document successful reproduction of Rodal (2025) results and update verification status 2026-01-17: Add papers/related directory to .gitignore 2026-01-17: - Made the exact Rodal potential backend-agnostic by adding an optional xp= array-module parameter (works with NumPy by default; compatible with CuPy/JAX-style APIs): potential.py - Added optional GPU-capable execution to the Rodal reproduction CLI via --backend numpy|cupy plus --dtype float64|float32, and threaded the backend through to the potential: reproduce_rodal_exact.py - Fixed the outdated CLI example flag in your roadmap (--grid → --n) and noted the new CuPy option: TASKS.md 2026-01-17: I've successfully completed the GPU acceleration setup and superluminal studies. Here's what was accomplished: 2026-01-17: I've completed all high-priority items from the post-M6 roadmap: 2026-01-17: I've successfully completed Sections 4 (Optimization Enhancements) and 5 (Validation) of the post-M6 roadmap: 2026-01-17: I've successfully completed THREE major sections of the post-M6 roadmap in this extended session: 2026-01-17: Update .gitignore to include additional paper-related file types and add author configuration template 2026-01-17: Add LaTeX document for irrotational warp metrics with energy diagnostics and parameter optimization 2026-01-17: 1. Refactoring: - Renamed main.tex to irrotational_warp_metric.tex. - Moved rodal_output and other result files to results directory. - Updated Makefile and make_paper_figures.py to reference the new paths and data structures. 2026-01-17: - Added open-source scaffolding: LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, SECURITY.md, and release notes in RELEASING.md. - Added CI workflow for ruff + pytest: ci.yml. - Tooling upgrades: - Added pytest-cov to dev deps + coverage config in pyproject.toml. - Added make test-cov, make lint, make format in Makefile. - Ignored coverage artifacts in .gitignore. - Fixed paper pointer in README.md to the current manuscript in papers/ (not docs/paper/). - Cleaned stray Rodal artifacts from repo root by moving them under rodal (they were generated/ignored artifacts; the tracked root .txt files now show as deleted). - Made make lint pass by fixing a handful of simple ruff issues across scripts/src/tests (unused imports, extraneous f"", lambda assignment, one-line returns). 2026-01-17: Enhance documentation and repository setup: - Added badges for CI status, license, and release version in README.md - Included citation section with BibTeX in README.md - Updated TASKS.md with repository setup status and enhancements - Added Santiago et al. (2024) reference to bibliography - Created requirements-dev.txt for dependency management 2026-01-17: Remove redundant title and footnote from LaTeX document for irrotational warp metrics
