Type System Thesis

The hrv_types.py module establishes the foundational type system for ResonanceOS v6, defining critical type aliases that ensure type safety, code clarity, and maintainability across the entire HRV (Human-Resonant Value) ecosystem. These type definitions serve as the backbone for consistent data handling, API interfaces, and system-wide type enforcement.

Technical Specifications

  • Type System: Python Type Aliases
  • Core Types: HRVVector, HRVProfile
  • Compatibility: Type Hint Enforcement
  • IDE Support: Enhanced Autocompletion
  • Documentation: Self-Documenting Code

Core Type Definitions

from typing import Dict, List, Union # Type aliases for better compatibility HRVVector = List[float] HRVProfile = Dict[str, Union[float, List[float], str]]
HRVVector
HRVVector = List[float]
Represents an 8-dimensional Human-Resonant Value vector containing normalized float values for each HRV dimension. This type is used throughout the system for content analysis, generation targets, and profile storage.
HRVProfile
HRVProfile = Dict[str, Union[float, List[float], str]]
Represents a comprehensive HRV profile containing metadata, HRV vectors, and profile information. This flexible structure supports various profile configurations including brand voices, user preferences, and content styles.

Type Analysis & Structure

HRVVector Structure

# Example HRVVector sample_hrv: HRVVector = [0.73, 0.87, 0.45, 0.62, 0.78, 0.34, 0.56, 0.81] # Type-safe operations def analyze_vector(vector: HRVVector) -> float: return sum(vector) / len(vector)

Vector Properties

Fixed Length

Normalized Range

Values typically in [0.0, 1.0]

Ordered Dimensions

Follows HRV_DIMENSIONS order

Type Safe

HRVProfile Structure

# Example HRVProfile sample_profile: HRVProfile = { "name": "Brand Voice", "hrv_vector": [0.8, 0.7, 0.9, 0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3, 0.7], "confidence": 0.95, "created_at": "2026-03-09", "metadata": {"industry": "tech", "tone": "professional"} }

Profile Properties

Flexible Structure

Supports various data types

Metadata Support

Rich profile information

Extensible

Easy to add new fields

Type Safe

Union type enforcement

Usage Examples

Practical Implementation

Function Signatures
def extract_hrv(text: str) -> HRVVector: """Extract HRV vector from text""" pass def save_profile(tenant: str, profile: HRVProfile) -> bool: """Save HRV profile to storage""" pass def generate_content(prompt: str, target_hrv: HRVVector) -> str: """Generate content with target HRV""" pass
Data Validation
def validate_hrv_vector(vector: HRVVector) -> bool: """Validate HRV vector structure""" return len(vector) == 8 and all(isinstance(x, float) for x in vector) def validate_hrv_profile(profile: HRVProfile) -> bool: """Validate HRV profile structure""" required_keys = ["name", "hrv_vector"] return all(key in profile for key in required_keys)
API Interfaces
class ContentRequest: def __init__(self, prompt: str, target_hrv: HRVVector): self.prompt = prompt self.target_hrv = target_hrv class ContentResponse: def __init__(self, content: str, actual_hrv: HRVVector): self.content = content self.actual_hrv = actual_hrv
