Formal specification defines a deterministic engine for modelling tumour dynamics and treatment interactions.
This release presents the fully realised Williams Carlo Oncology Deterministic Engine: a complete, mathematically closed, end‑to‑end deterministic system for modelling tumour, microenvironment, immune, and treatment dynamics. It represents the final evolution of the COBRA lineage, transforming the earlier COBRA 2 prototype into a fully formalised engine with a rigorous geometric foundation, strict runtime contract, and executable update architecture. Across this specification pack, the entire engine is defined with absolute clarity. Every region, surface, manifold, cone, and threshold is formally described. Every runtime behaviour—classification, sign‑flip detection, transitions, guarantees, and intervention logic—is expressed as deterministic obligations. The update rule U(x) = -∇E(x) + G(x) is embedded within a complete pipeline that governs how the system interprets states, predicts outcomes, and evolves forward. This pack includes the full geometric architecture, the runtime logic layer, the intervention system, the deterministic update engine, the global guarantees, the implementation guide, the developer quickstart, the testing suite, and the system overview. Together, these documents form a unified, executable definition of the Williams Carlo oncology engine, providing everything required to understand, implement, validate, and deploy the model. This is the authoritative, final specification of the Williams Carlo deterministic framework and the foundation for all future oncology engines in the Carlo lineage.
