Vietoris–Rips filtration

Structure appears across scale.

03 · stable loop
Interactive filtration of a point cloud Increasing the scale joins nearby points into edges and filled triangles. A central loop remains unfilled at the final scale, illustrating a persistent topological feature.

Move the scale to watch local observations become a stable global shape.

The Foundry follows the same idea: connect evidence across scales until a runnable method holds its shape.

Current typed content slice

Packages Profiles of upstream TDA software and the facts needed to harden it. Environments Runnable biopixi fixtures, graded L0 to L4 for how portable their packaging is. Recipes In-repo builds for the packages no conda channel carries, and the route out. Molds Abstract actions with typed dependencies, ready to become castable artifacts. Papers Reviews of external TDA papers and surveys, linked rather than copied. Replication experiments What happened when we ran the papers ourselves, pinned to the evidence. Methods The techniques themselves — what each computes, and what implements it here. Glossary The terms that keep the Foundry's content and machinery precise. Tags Browse typed notes through the controlled vocabulary they carry.

Design records

Why this Foundry is shaped the way it is, and how it is built. Records are typed notes like any other, split across two shelves: foundation records argue, infrastructure records describe.
