ppflib - Physics-Prime Factorization Library

A comprehensive Rust library implementing the Physics-Prime Factorization (PPF) mathematical framework for exploring quantum mechanics through number theory.

Overview

The PPF framework extends classical number theory by treating -1 as a special "Sign Prime", creating multiple valid factorizations for integers and enabling a number-theoretic model of quantum phenomena. This library provides a complete implementation with algebraic, topological, and geometric realizations.

Key Features

• Factorization State Spaces: Complete enumeration of valid P-factorizations S(n)
• Quantum Collapse: Modeling (-a) × (-b) = ab transitions
• Sign Prime: The unique negative prime (-1) enabling quantum behavior
• Algebraic Structures: State space ideals, P-prime spectrum, homological algebra
• Topological Analysis: Simplicial complexes, Galois groups, Betti numbers
• Geometric Realizations: IOT metric, tautochrone operators, Hilbert spaces

Quick Start

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
ppflib = "0.1.0"

Basic Usage

use ppflib::prelude::*;

fn main() -> Result<(), FactorizationError> {
    // Create factorization state spaces
    let classical = FactorizationStateSpace::new(6)?;     // S(6) - classical state
    let quantum = FactorizationStateSpace::new(-6)?;    // S(-6) - quantum state

    println!("S(6) has {} factorizations", classical.size());
    println!("S(-6) has {} factorizations", quantum.size());

    // Demonstrate quantum collapse: (-2) × (-3) = 6
    let s_neg2 = FactorizationStateSpace::new(-2)?;
    let s_neg3 = FactorizationStateSpace::new(-3)?;
    let result = StateSpaceOperations::multiply(&s_neg2, &s_neg3)?;

    if result.collapse_info.collapsed {
        println!("✓ Quantum collapse: (-2) × (-3) → 6");
        println!("Collapse ratio: {:.2}", result.collapse_info.collapse_ratio);
    }

    Ok(())
}

Core Concepts

Factorization State Spaces

Every integer n has a state space S(n) containing all valid P-factorizations:

use ppflib::prelude::*;

let s6 = FactorizationStateSpace::new(6)?;
for factorization in s6.factorizations() {
    println!("{}", factorization); // "2 × 3", "-2 × -3"
}

// Negative integers create quantum state spaces
let s_neg6 = FactorizationStateSpace::new(-6)?;
for factorization in s_neg6.factorizations() {
    println!("{}", factorization); // "-1 × 2 × 3", "-2 × 3", "2 × -3"
}

Quantum Collapse

When two quantum states multiply, they can collapse to classical states:

let s_neg2 = FactorizationStateSpace::new(-2)?;  // Quantum state
let s_neg3 = FactorizationStateSpace::new(-3)?;  // Quantum state
let result = StateSpaceOperations::multiply(&s_neg2, &s_neg3)?;

// Result is S(6) - a classical state!
assert!(result.collapse_info.collapsed);
assert_eq!(result.result_space.value(), 6);

Mathematical Framework

The Sign Prime

PPF introduces -1 as a "Sign Prime", creating quantum behavior in number theory:

• Classical states: S(n) for n > 0 (limited factorizations)
• Quantum states: S(-n) for n > 0 (expanded factorizations via sign prime)
• Quantum collapse: (-a) × (-b) = ab (quantum → classical transition)

IOT Geometry

The IOT (Involuted Oblate Toroidal) metric provides geometric realization:

• Critical ratio: r/R = 1/30 (derived from variational principle)
• Toroidal embedding of factorization spaces
• Geodesics and parallel transport
• Connection to quantum field theory

Topological Structure

Factorization spaces have rich topological properties:

• Galois groups: Gal_P(n) ≅ (ℤ₂)^(k-1) for k distinct primes
• Euler characteristic: χ = 0 (toroidal topology)
• Betti numbers capture dimensional structure
• Homological algebra connections
