== Three-Phase Development Plan ==

The project will be executed in three distinct phases to ensure a robust and functional outcome.

# '''Phase 1: Design and Simulation (The "Digital Twin")''': Formalize the circuit schematic in KiCad, enhance the Python `aedificator_kepler.py` script to generate optimized Gerber files, and validate the entire design's performance in ~~LTspice~~ before any physical fabrication.

# '''Phase 1: Design and Simulation (The "Digital Twin") - COMPLETE''': Formalize the circuit schematic in KiCad, enhance the Python `aedificator_kepler.py` script to generate optimized Gerber files, and validate the entire design's performance in a simulator before any physical fabrication.

# '''Phase 2: Fabrication and Calibration (The "Physical Oracle")''': First, create a process test board on acrylic to perfect the etching technique. Second, fabricate the final, high-precision computational board on FR-4. Finally, write and run a Python calibration routine to map the physical board's unique electrical characteristics.

# '''Phase 3: Integration and "Virtuous Service" (The "Live System")''': Deploy the final host application on the Raspberry Pi, integrating the calibration map. Develop the user-facing applications, such as a real-time EM Diagram Plotter and a Rutowski Path Solver, to utilize the analog computer.

== Project Status (September 12, 2025) ==

* '''System Architecture:''' The self-learning architecture is stable and ~~functional~~. The main conductor script (`praefectus_experimentum.py`) successfully orchestrates a complete design-simulate-log cycle without errors. The system ~~correctly generates placeholder Gerber and SPICE files~~ in the `~~machinamenta~~` ~~directory,~~ and ~~logs~~ the ~~outcome of~~ the ~~cycle in~~ `~~experimenta/logs~~`.

* '''System Architecture:''' The self-learning architecture is '''stable and validated'''. The main conductor script (`praefectus_experimentum.py`) successfully orchestrates a complete design-simulate-log cycle without errors. The system has demonstrated autonomous problem-solving by successfully diagnosing a critical flaw in its simulation toolchain (the `nodrv_CreateWindow` error with LTspice) and rewriting its own code to replace the faulty component with the more robust, command-line native `ngspice` simulator.

* '''~~Hardware Design~~:''' ~~The core design remains finalized~~. The ~~immediate software task is to evolve the script stubs in the `src/` directory into fully functional modules that~~ generate ~~the true Kepler geometry~~ and ~~resistor network values~~.

* '''Phase 1 Completion:''' With the successful integration of a stable simulation backend, the "Digital Twin" phase is now complete. The system can generate hardware designs and validate them in a simulated environment.

* '''Next Steps:''' The project is officially in **Phase 1**. The immediate focus is on ~~implementing real SPICE simulation by modifying~~ `~~src/simulator_spice.py~~` to ~~interface with LTspice~~, and ~~formalizing the schematic design process via `src/instrumentum_kicad.py`. This work will proceed while awaiting~~ the ~~arrival~~ of the ~~new HP workstation and GPU, which will be used to begin training~~ the ~~Artifex ARCs~~.

* '''Next Steps:''' The project is officially moving into '''Phase 2: Fabrication and Calibration'''. The immediate focus will be on the physical manufacturing of the first prototype. This involves using the `Aedificator` to produce a final Gerber file for a Depth-4 uniform-width grid, fabricating this design on an acrylic practice sheet, and beginning the development of the calibration routine on the Raspberry Pi Pico.
