Physics solver / English makefile

the handoff / 2024-06-11

im gonna paste a makefile but its not actually a makefile its like me in english speaking an application into existence:

clc
clear
close all

%% Input

%% Preprocess and Validate

%% Map Inputs to Actual Things

%% Graph Traversal to Find Optimal Route

%% Calculate!!

%% Oops we gonna need more infomration from u bro

%% Final Output

It's so empty because this is the 3rd or 4th time ive completely started from scratch.

shape of the intended machine

1. Inputquantity and unit, in ordinary notation
2. Validatenormalize units and expose ambiguity
3. Mapattach quantities to equations and directions
4. Traversefind a route from knowns to the requested unknown
5. Returncalculate, diagram, or ask for missing information

right here we are building the ultimate homework machine. it's not some LLM thats been trained and kinda knows what its doing based on "experience," it just straight up is an automatic population of unit values, graphs/FBDs, and systems based on substitutions and equivalencies inherent to messing with seemingly random combinations of coherent derived units, after all we're really only doing dimensional analysis, that's all this type of physics really is if you abstract it far away enough.
