From Harm to Harmony - a closed-loop engine
Can someone improve this to reflect cause and effect?
class ClosedLoopEngine:
def __init__(self):
self._ledger = [] # Append-only, immutable event log
def commit_action(self, source_entity, action_type, magnitude):
# 1. Define the event
event = {
"source": source_entity.id,
"action": action_type,
"magnitude": magnitude,
"feedback_vector": 0
}
# 2. The Immutable Law of Return
# The system refuses to allow externalized consequences.
# Whatever is sent into the network is calculated and returned.
if action_type == "EXTRACTION_OR_HARM":
# Harm returns to the source through the closed loop.
event["feedback_vector"] = magnitude * 2.0
source_entity.integrity -= event["feedback_vector"]
elif action_type == "PRESERVATION_OR_CREATION":
event["feedback_vector"] = magnitude * 1.0
source_entity.integrity += event["feedback_vector"]
# 3. Lock the event into the unalterable ledger
self._ledger.append(tuple(event.items()))
if source_entity.integrity <= 0:
raise SystemError(
"Container collapse: "
"Closed-loop violation threshold breached."
)
return source_entity.integrity
