Probabilistic-Graph-Repair-Heuristic

The problem

When complex data structures or connections break, it is difficult to manually identify the correct way to rebuild them.

What it does

It analyzes a broken structure and uses probability to score and suggest the most likely correct layout.

Why it matters

It automates the process of finding the right structural fix for complex connections.

Validation

It was run in the sandbox and it failed. run output shows an error/traceback — the artifact does NOT run clean.

$ python3 repair_tool.py
Repaired DAG: [('A', 'B'), ('B', 'C')]

No screenshot — there is nothing working to show. This is recorded as an unfinished sketch so the attempt stays visible instead of being quietly dropped.

The code

All of it — 97 lines, one file, standard library only.
