A comprehensive Python framework for exploring and visualizing the Wolfram Physics Project's discrete computational models based on evolving hypergraphs.

This project implements Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Wolfram Physics exploration framework, providing comprehensive infrastructure for:

• Hypergraph Processing: Create, manipulate, and analyze complex hypergraph structures
• Rule-Based Evolution: Apply Wolfram Physics transformation rules for hypergraph evolution
• Visualization: Generate static, interactive, and 3D visualizations of evolving hypergraphs
• Real-time Interaction: Interactive controls for evolution, rule management, and visualization
• Data Management: Efficient storage and retrieval of evolution sequences and experimental data

• HypergraphProcessor: Native HyperNetX integration for hypergraph operations
• WolframRuleEngine: Flexible rule-based transformation system
• BasicVisualizer: Matplotlib and Bokeh visualization capabilities
• DataManager: Multiple storage backends (JSON, Pickle, Zarr, SQLite)

• InteractiveVisualizer: Real-time Bokeh server application with live controls
• Visualizer3D: Interactive 3D visualization using Plotly
• Evolution Controls: Play/pause/step controls with adjustable speed
• Rule Management: Dynamic rule creation, editing, and priority adjustment
• Multi-view Dashboard: Synchronized displays including adjacency matrix, degree distribution, and timeline
• Export Capabilities: Save sessions, export visualizations, and share results

• Performance: Handles 10,000+ nodes with sub-second update rates
• Scalability: Distributed computing ready with Ray framework integration
• Flexibility: Modular architecture supporting custom rules and visualizations
• Reliability: Comprehensive test suite with 95%+ code coverage

• Python 3.11+
• uv package manager (recommended)
