HRPO-X v1.0.1: from HRPO paper production-hardened runnable code

What This Project Is (and What It Is Not)

This project is an experiment in turning research papers into production-grade, verifiable code.

Not demos.

Not architectural mockups.

Not “looks-good-on-GitHub” scaffolding.

The goal is simple but strict:

If an algorithm cannot be executed, tested, and reasoned about, it does not exist.


The Problem This Project Tries to Solve

Many research-to-code projects fail in the same way:

  • The paper is mathematically sound, but the code is not runnable end to end
  • The repository looks “enterprise-ready,” but core logic is missing
  • Documentation grows faster than implementation
  • Abstractions are declared before execution paths exist

This gap between theoretical correctness and operational reality is where most AI systems quietly break.

This project exists to explore that gap.


Scope and Constraints

This repository deliberately prioritizes:

  • Executable logic over architecture
  • Minimal runnable paths over completeness
  • Verification over presentation
  • Deletion over preservation

What you will not find here:

  • No claims of state-of-the-art performance
  • No production promises
  • No speculative abstractions without execution
  • No architecture justified only by terminology

If something cannot be run, tested, or validated, it is removed.


Methodology

The development process follows a strict order:

1. Single-path execution first

One script that runs end to end beats ten folders that do not.

2. Algorithm before infrastructure

Training loops and validation logic come before configs, deployment, or monitoring.

3. Verification gates over assumptions

Logic must justify its existence through execution, not documentation.

4. Aggressive pruning

Unused abstractions, imports, and structures are deleted immediately.

This often results in a repository that looks smaller, less impressive, and less polished — intentionally.


Why This Matters

AI-generated code makes it easy to produce:

  • Plausible-looking architectures
  • Confident documentation
  • Familiar production patterns

It does not make it easy to enforce necessity.

Without strict validation, projects drift toward structure without substance.

This repository is an attempt to push in the opposite direction:

toward code that earns its abstractions.


Current Status

This is an active, iterative research project.

  • APIs may change
  • Code may be deleted rather than expanded
  • “Incomplete” is preferred over “misleading”

If you are looking for a finished framework, this is not it.

If you are interested in how research ideas survive contact with executable reality, this might be useful.


Closing

This repository is not optimized for appearance.

It is optimized for failure detection.

That is the point.
