Scientific Skill Interleaving

This skill connects to the K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-skills ecosystem:

Graph Theory

  • networkx [○] via bicomodule
    • Universal graph hub

Bibliography References

  • algorithms
    : 19 citations in bib.duckdb

SDF Interleaving

This skill connects to Software Design for Flexibility (Hanson & Sussman, 2021):

Primary Chapter: 6. Layering

Concepts: layered data, metadata, provenance, units

GF(3) Balanced Triad

academic-research (−) + SDF.Ch6 (+) + [balancer] (○) = 0

Skill Trit: -1 (MINUS - verification)

Secondary Chapters

  • Ch10: Adventure Game Example

Connection Pattern

Layering adds metadata. This skill tracks provenance or annotations.

Cat# Integration

This skill maps to Cat# = Comod(P) as a bicomodule in the equipment structure:

Trit: 0 (ERGODIC)
Home: Prof
Poly Op: ⊗
Kan Role: Adj
Color: #26D826

GF(3) Naturality

The skill participates in triads satisfying:

(-1) + (0) + (+1) ≡ 0 (mod 3)

This ensures compositional coherence in the Cat# equipment structure.
