## 🎯 What is SSZ Metric Pure?

**SSZ Metric Pure** is a **100% pure implementation** of the Segmented Spacetime framework - a singularity-free alternative to General Relativity. This library provides:

- **Static SSZ Metric:** Non-rotating black holes without singularities (A(0) = 1.0)
- **SSZ-Kerr Metric:** Rotating black holes with frame dragging (alpha)
- **Complete Differential Geometry:** Tensors, curvature calculations
- **φ-Based Structure:** Golden Ratio emerges naturally, not fitted

**Philosophy:** Pure SSZ core equations validated against GR limits.

### Unified from:
- ✅ **ssz-full-metric** - Production code, math utilities
- ✅ **ssz-metric-final** - Pure SSZ improvements, φ-interfaces  
- ✅ **Segmented-Spacetime-Results** - Validation framework

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/error-wtf/ssz-metric-pure.git
cd ssz-metric-pure

# Install dependencies
pip install -e .

# Or with dev dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

### Basic Usage - Static Metric

```python
from ssz_metric_pure import SSZParams
from ssz_metric_pure.metric_static import StaticSSZMetric
import numpy as np

# Solar mass black hole
params = SSZParams(mass=1.98847e30)  # kg
metric = StaticSSZMetric(params)

# Compute metric components
r = 3 * metric.r_s  # 3 Schwarzschild radii
theta = np.pi / 2

g_tt = metric.g_tt(r, theta)
g_rr = metric.g_rr(r, theta)

print(f"Schwarzschild radius: {metric.r_s/1000:.2f} km")
print(f"Natural boundary r_φ: {metric.r_phi/1000:.2f} km")
print(f"g_tt(3r_s) = {g_tt:.6f}")
print(f"g_rr(3r_s) = {g_rr:.6f}")
```

### SSZ-Kerr Rotating Metric

```python
from ssz_metric_pure.metric_kerr_ssz import KerrSSZMetric
from ssz_metric_pure import KerrSSZParams

# Sgr A* with spin
params = KerrSSZParams(
    mass=4.15e6 * 1.98847e30,  # Solar masses → kg
    spin=0.9  # â = 0.9 (fast rotation!)
)
kerr = KerrSSZMetric(params)

# Compute horizons
r_plus, r_minus = kerr.horizons()
print(f"Outer horizon: {r_plus/kerr.r_s:.3f} r_s")
print(f"Inner horizon: {r_minus/kerr.r_s:.3f} r_s")

# Ergosphere
r_ergo = kerr.ergosphere_radius(theta=np.pi/2)
print(f"Ergosphere (equator): {r_ergo/kerr.r_s:.3f} r_s")

# Frame dragging
omega = kerr.frame_drag_frequency(r=3*kerr.r_s, theta=np.pi/2)
print(f"Frame drag ω: {omega:.3e} rad/s")
```

### CLI Tool

```bash
# Print metric summary
ssz-kerr-summary --mass=1.0 --spin=0.5

# Example output:
# Mass: 1.0 M☉
# Spin: â = 0.5
# r_s = 2.95 km
# r_φ = 2.39 km (natural boundary)
# Horizons: r+ = 1.87 km, r- = 0.74 km
# Ergosphere: 2.21 km (equator)
```

## 📐 Mathematical Foundation

**Segment Density:**
```
N(r) = N_max × (1 - exp(-φ × r/r_s))
where φ = (1+√5)/2 ≈ 1.618033... (Golden Ratio)
```

**Natural Boundary:**
```
r_φ = (φ/2) × r_s × (1 + Δ(M)/100)
where Δ(M) = 98.01 × exp(-2.7177×10⁴ × r_s) + 1.96
```

**SSZ-Kerr Line Element:**
```
ds² = -A(r,θ)dt² + B(r,θ)dr² + C(r,θ)dθ² + D(r,θ)dφ² + 2E(r,θ)dt dφ
where E(r,θ) ≠ 0 → frame dragging!
```

**Limits:**
- â → 0: Recovers static SSZ
- M → 0: Recovers Minkowski
- SSZ off: Recovers GR-Kerr (validation only!)

## 🛠️ Advanced Usage

### Export Metric Tensor for Numerical Solvers

```python
import numpy as np
from ssz_core import metric_tensor, schwarzschild_radius
from ssz_core.constants import M_SUN

# Black hole parameters
mass = 4.3e6 * M_SUN  # Sgr A*
r_s = schwarzschild_radius(mass)

# Calculate metric at specific point
r = 5 * r_s
theta = np.pi / 4

g, comps = metric_tensor(r, theta, r_s, use_mirror_blend=True)

# Export for ODE solver
def christoffel_symbols(r, theta):
    """Calculate Γ^μ_νσ from g_μν."""
    # ... implement using g ...
    pass

# Use in geodesic equation
def geodesic_rhs(t, state):
    """RHS for geodesic equation."""
    # ... use Γ^μ_νσ ...
    pass
```

### Custom Blending Parameters

```python
from ssz_core.metric import A_safe, find_intersection

r_s = schwarzschild_radius(M_SUN)
r_star = find_intersection(r_s)

# Adjust blending
A = A_safe(
    r=r_s,
    r_s=r_s,
    r_star=r_star,
    blend_width=0.05,  # Narrower transition
    epsilon=1e-12,     # Lower safety floor
    beta=200.0,        # Sharper softplus
    use_mirror_blend=True
)
```

## 🎨 Visualization Gallery

### Time Dilation Comparison
```python
from ssz_viz import plot_time_dilation
fig = plot_time_dilation(r_s, show_intersection=True)
```

Shows:
- SSZ: Singularity-free, D_SSZ(0) = 1
- GR: Diverges at r = r_s
- Intersection point r*

### Curvature Proxy
```python
from ssz_viz import plot_curvature
fig = plot_curvature(r_s, use_mirror_blend=True)
```

Demonstrates:
- Finite curvature at r = 0
- No divergence anywhere
- Smooth transition to GR

### Full Comparison
```python
from ssz_viz import plot_ssz_vs_gr
fig = plot_ssz_vs_gr(r_s)
```

Side-by-side:
- Time dilation: D(r)
- Metric coefficient: A(r)
