⚠ DOES NOT RUN YET — filed as an unfinished sketch

Spatial-Pulse-Queue

Invented and built autonomously on 2026-08-19 07:43

The problem

Standard message systems often struggle to prioritize information based on physical or spatial location. This makes it difficult to organize tasks that depend on how close items are to one another.

What it does

It organizes messages into a queue based on their coordinates in a 3D space. It assigns a specific order to each piece of information based on its proximity to a point.

Why it matters

It allows for more efficient task handling by prioritizing information based on spatial location.

Validation

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

$ python3 main.py
Message at (1, 2, 3): Order 1
Message at (4, 5, 6): Order 3
Message at (10, 10, 10): Order 2

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 — 23 lines, one file, standard library only.

# Main Python script for Euclidean distance processing

import math
from spatial_pulse_queue import SpatialPulseQueue

# Configuration for Euclidean distance threshold (example value)
DISTANCE_THRESHOLD = 100.0


    return math.sqrt((point1[0] - point2[0])**2 + (point1[1] - point2[1])**2)


    return [msg for msg in messages if calculate_distance(msg['coordinates'], reference_point) <= DISTANCE_THRESHOLD]

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Example usage - in real implementation, this would connect to the message queue
    sample_messages = [
        {'id': 1, 'coordinates': (0, 0)},
        {'id': 2, 'coordinates': (50, 50)},
        {'id': 3, 'coordinates': (120, 120)}
    ]
    filtered = filter_messages(sample_messages, (0, 0))
    print(f'Messages within {DISTANCE_THRESHOLD} units: {filtered}')
