The "Producer ARC" system for Computare, responsible for training and guiding the Artifex ARCs. It follows the Guide-Navigator-Oracle model. The Fabrica is a self-learning, self-healing system capable of diagnosing systemic failures and autonomously rewriting its own component scripts to resolve them.
* '''Dux (The Guide):''' Analyzes results from past experiments (`experimenta`) to set high-level goals (e.g., "Reduce computational error below 2%").
* '''Dux (The Guide):''' Analyzes results from past experiments (`experimenta`) to set high-level goals. It can identify recurring software failures (e.g., the `nodrv_CreateWindow` error) and consult a knowledge base (`physica_gnosis_curriculum.json`) to propose strategic solutions, such as replacing an unstable software tool.
* '''Navigator:''' The tactician that translates the Dux's goal into a concrete plan, such as generating new training data or designing a new grid layout.
* '''Navigator:''' The tactician that translates the Dux's goal into a concrete plan. This includes generating new Python scripts from templates (`exemplaria`) to implement the Dux's strategy.
* '''Oraculum:''' The validator (initially fulfilled by Gemini) that tests the Navigator's proposed designs in a sandbox (e.g., SPICE simulation) before they are approved for fabrication.

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

* '''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.
