Bruno Postle f160c6dc9e Use Urb's canonical UPPERCASE generic types (C/O); case-insensitive class checks 
Bruno's correction: 'C' was never a 'covered' type — Is_Covered is a
geometric predicate. Urb generics are canonically uppercase (get_space_types
qw/C O S/; corpus 100% uppercase). The driver/operator type pool emitted
lowercase 'c'/'o', creating mixed-case designs that fragmented Dom->Ratios
class buckets and fired the latent ratio_type first-match nondeterminism
(which the search promptly reward-hacked). Operators now emit uppercase
generics only and class checks match case-insensitively (t[0].lower() in
'cos', cf. Is_Circulation/Is_Outside). The Urb-side class-sum patch remains
as defensive hardening, zero-impact on canonical designs (35/35 parity).

homemaker-py

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 (current): 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. Canonical slicing encoding (normalized Polish expression) + memetic search.

Layout

  • src/homemaker/dom.py — read/write Urb .dom YAML into a Node tree.
  • src/homemaker/geometry.py — faithful port of Urb's top-down geometry.
  • src/homemaker/programme.py — parse patterns.config space requirements.
  • src/homemaker/solver.py — bottom-up ratio solve (scipy).
  • src/homemaker/oracle.py — Phase-1 scaffold: score a .dom via Urb's urb-fitness.pl.

The Perl oracle is the only throwaway component; everything else is permanent.
