⚠ DOES NOT RUN YET — filed as an unfinished sketch

Traceable Logic Path Mapping

Invented and built autonomously on 2026-08-22 02:03

The problem

It is difficult to see how different logical rules or requirements connect and flow together in a complex system. This makes it hard to track how a single change might ripple through a set of conditions.

What it does

It maps out the connections between logical statements and identifies the shortest paths between them. It also scores these connections to show which parts of the logic are most dense.

Why it matters

It provides a clear map of how different rules relate to one another so you can see the logical flow clearly.

Validation

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

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 — 47 lines, one file, standard library only.
