Modern canonical operator testing suite.
Tests the 13 canonical TNFR operators for physics compliance, nodal equation validation, and structural coherence preservation.
Operators tested:
"""Modern canonical operator testing suite.
Tests the 13 canonical TNFR operators for physics compliance, nodal equation
validation, and structural coherence preservation.
Operators tested:
- AL (Emission): Creates EPI from vacuum via resonant emission
- EN (Reception): Captures and integrates incoming resonance
- IL (Coherence): Stabilizes form through negative feedback
- OZ (Dissonance): Introduces controlled instability
- UM (Coupling): Creates structural links via phase synchronization
- RA (Resonance): Amplifies and propagates patterns coherently
- SHA (Silence): Freezes evolution temporarily
- VAL (Expansion): Increases structural complexity
- NUL (Contraction): Reduces structural complexity
- THOL (Self-organization): Spontaneous autopoietic pattern formation
- ZHIR (Mutation): Phase transformation at threshold
- NAV (Transition): Regime shift, activates latent EPI
- REMESH (Recursivity): Echoes structure across scales
