homemaker-layout

Programme-driven building-layout search over slicing trees. A clean-room Python successor to the Perl Urb project, intended to eventually be 100% Python.

Why a rewrite

Urb represents a building as a binary slicing tree where room sizes are derived top-down from division ratios. That makes room area an emergent property of every cut above it, which:

  • gives the genome low locality (a cut near the root rescales every descendant),
  • makes target room sizes nearly impossible to hit, so the gaussian size penalty dominates fitness, and
  • defeats crossover (transplanted subtrees lose their proportions).

homemaker inverts this: leaves carry target dimensions from the programme and division ratios are solved bottom-up for a fixed topology. The evolutionary search then only explores topology + types + adjacency.

Phase plan

  1. Solver experiment: port Urb's geometry, re-solve ratios from programme targets, score the result against the original via the Perl oracle. ✓
  2. Native Python fitness (retire the Perl oracle). ✓
  3. Memetic search: canonical slicing genome + high-locality operators + Nelder-Mead inner loop. ✓
  4. Penalty reshaping: lexicographic (-n_fails, fitness) outer-search comparison. ✓
  5. Representation upgrade: canonical slicing encoding + bottom-up shape feasibility, scaled to larger programmes. ✓
  6. Search-quality experiments (current): a long running series of opt-in levers tried against the harbor-house, health-centre, and programme-house example corpora — leaf-sharing, finish-time cell→room collapse, ruin-and-recreate LNS, 2-opt polish, multi-use/co-located leaves, adjacency-graph and bubble-diagram fitness signals, and more. Most of these are negative/null results kept as opt-in flags or reference code rather than defaults. See DESIGN.md §11 onward for the full, numbered experiment log with methodology and results for each.

Layout

  • src/homemaker_layout/dom.py — read/write Urb .dom YAML into a Node tree.
  • src/homemaker_layout/geometry.py — faithful port of Urb's top-down geometry.
  • src/homemaker_layout/programme.py — parse patterns.config space requirements.
  • src/homemaker_layout/solver.py — bottom-up ratio solve (scipy).
  • src/homemaker_layout/fitness.py — native Python fitness evaluator.
  • src/homemaker_layout/fitness_cmd.py — homemaker-fitness CLI (drop-in for urb-fitness.pl).
  • src/homemaker_layout/collapse_cmd.py — homemaker-collapse CLI: finish-time global cell→room relabel of a .dom.
  • src/homemaker_layout/graph.py — leaf-adjacency graph for programme-driven checks.
  • src/homemaker_layout/genome.py — topology genome: base-floor tree + per-storey deltas.
  • src/homemaker_layout/operators.py — high-locality mutation and subtree crossover.
  • src/homemaker_layout/innerloop.py — ratio optimisation inner loop (Nelder-Mead / CMA-ES).
  • src/homemaker_layout/driver.py — memetic search outer loop.
  • src/homemaker_layout/evolve.py — homemaker-evolve CLI entry point.
  • src/homemaker_layout/oracle.py — legacy Perl shim, kept for cross-validation only.
  • src/homemaker_layout/bubble.py — 3D bubble-diagram adjacency fitness-signal prototype (DESIGN.md §27); validated null, not wired into fitness.py — reference only.
