### Why I bult
– Earlier this year, DeepMind published groundbreaking work on detecting unstable
singularities in fluid dynamics—one of the deepest open problems in mathematical
physics (arXiv:2509.14185).
– The challenge? No public code.
– Extreme numerical precision requirements.
– Complex multi-stage training. This makes independent verification nearly impossible.
– So I built an open-source re-implementation to bridge that gap.

### What It Does
Detects finite-time blow-ups in PDEs using Physics-Informed Neural Networks:
– Lambda prediction formulas (<1% error vs. published methodology)
– Automated parameter discovery via funnel inference
– High-precision Gauss-Newton optimization (residuals to 10⁻¹³)
– Multi-stage training with configurable precision targets
Think: Making century-old fluid dynamics problems tractable with modern ML.

### Who This Is For
– Researchers studying singularities in PDEs
– Practitioners working with PINNs
– Anyone frustrated by non-reproducible ML papers
– Students learning scientific machine learning
—
### Built For Reproducibility
– 119 comprehensive tests (all passing)
– GPU-accelerated with PyTorch + CUDA
– Automated validation CI/CD
– Professional documentation + limitations clearly stated
– Not just “research code”—designed to actually work in other people’s hands.
—
### Current Implementation Status
– Lambda prediction formulas (formula-based validation)
– Funnel inference (secant method)
– Enhanced Gauss-Newton optimizer (test problem verified)
– PINN solver framework
– Multi-stage training (framework complete, full validation pending)
– Full 3D Navier-Stokes solver (future work)
– Transparency matters: This shows exactly what works today vs. what’s roadmap.
