Seven-Gate Identity Framework Implementation

This notebook implements a comprehensive seven-gate identity framework that directly interfaces with Michael Levin’s algotype experiment conditions, following the rigorous testing blueprint for integrating our identity-gate framework with empirical clustering phenomena.

Framework Overview

Building on Michael Levin’s groundbreaking discovery of clustering behavior in sorting algorithms, we implement a theoretical framework where:

  • Elements are self-implementing logical operators with Gate-Policy Vectors (GPVs)
  • Seven identity gates (Be, Sustain, Compose, Belong, Generate, Transition, Maintain) govern element interactions
  • Gate-Policy Vectors (GPVs) encode each element’s operational behavior as 7-bit binary strings
  • Clustering emerges from logical compatibility and gate interactions
  • Identity is processual - maintained through consistent operational patterns

What We’ll Implement

  1. Seven-gate identity framework mapped to Levin’s experimental conditions
  2. Gate-Policy Vectors encoding element behaviors as 7-bit binary strings
  3. Interactive seven-gate visualization with real-time heatmap and gate activation patterns
  4. Levin’s exact metrics: Sortedness, Monotonicity Error, Delayed Gratification, Aggregation Value
  5. Factorial experimental design spanning 486 conditions with fault models
  6. Statistical validation against Levin’s published results

Interactive Seven-Gate Visualization

Before diving into the Python implementation, let’s explore the seven-gate identity framework through an interactive visualization that shows real-time gate activation patterns, clustering dynamics, and GPV interactions during bubble sort:
