A simple guide to the Mulein-Planck-Pi symbolic engine.
Imagine you have a calculator, but instead of using numbers like 1, 2, or 3.14, it uses the fundamental building blocks of the universe itself. That’s Mħπ.
Ď€
(Pi) and P
(the Planck Length, the smallest possible unit of space).In short, Mħπ is not a better calculator; it’s a new way to reason about physics.
This is the core concept that Mħπ was built to test. We usually think of mass (how “heavy” something is) as a fundamental property of matter.
Mħπ explores a radical idea: What if mass is actually a measure of information flowing over time?
Think of it this way: a more massive object, like a planet, isn’t just “heavier.” In this new model, it’s the source of a higher rate of information. Its gravitational pull is a consequence of this information flow.
The main goal of the Mħπ project is to take this wild idea and see if it breaks physics as we know it. (Spoiler: It doesn’t!)
The most exciting part of Mħπ is what it has already managed to prove symbolically. It’s not just a theoretical toy; it’s a validation engine.
You don’t need to be a Rust programmer to see Mħπ in action. The tests themselves are the demonstration.
First, you’ll need to have git and rust installed on your system. Then, open a terminal and run:
git clone https://github.com/Digital-Defiance/MPP.git
cd MPP
The best way to see what Mħπ can do is to run its test suite. Each test validates a specific physical law or mathematical property.
cargo test
You will see a stream of output showing each test passing, like test_schwarzschild_vacuum_solution ... ok
. Each “ok” is the engine successfully proving a piece of physics or mathematics from first principles.
Mħπ uses a language inspired by TeX called MPP-TeX. Here’s a simple example:
// Let's define the area of a circle
\let r := 5 // r is a variable with value 5
\let A := \pi r^2 // A is pi times r-squared
// Now, let's find the rate of change (derivative) of the area with respect to the radius
\derive{A}{r}
When the engine runs this, it doesn’t just calculate 3.14 * 25
. It symbolically solves the derivative of πr²
to get the exact answer: 2Ď€r
. Then, if you wanted a number, it would substitute r=5
to get 10Ď€
. It always keeps the perfect symbolic form.
Mħπ isn’t designed to make your homework faster. It’s a research tool for physicists to ask deep “what if” questions about the universe.
By proving that a radical idea like “mass is information” is mathematically consistent with everything we know, Mħπ opens the door to new avenues of research and new ways of thinking about the fundamental nature of reality.
