NanoCERN CLI v1.0

A deterministic knowledge reactor that thinks without hallucinating.

🧠 What is NanoCERN?

NanoCERN is a Knowledge Reactor—a reasoning engine that processes information using Knowledge Units (KUs) instead of neural networks. Unlike LLMs that hallucinate, NanoCERN only outputs what it knows with mathematical certainty.

✨ Key Features

🔬 Deterministic Reasoning

No Hallucinations: Only verified facts, never invented content
Causal Logic: Understands cause → effect relationships
Provenance Tracking: Every conclusion cites its source KUs
Confidence Scores: Honest uncertainty quantification

⚛️ Knowledge Units (KUs)

KUs are atomic facts with structure:

{
  "subject": "Aspirin",
  "relation": "inhibits",
  "object": "COX-2 enzyme",
  "confidence": 0.95,
  "source": "PMID:12345678"
}

Think of KUs as LEGO blocks of knowledge—small, precise, and combinable.

🚀 Self-Learning

Extract KUs: From Wikipedia, PubMed, textbooks
Build Knowledge Graphs: Automatic relationship mapping
Scale to Millions: Designed for 1M+ KU databases

📦 What’s Included?

5000+ Physics KUs: Pre-extracted from Wikipedia
CLI Tools: Query, extract, and analyze knowledge
Python API: Integrate into your projects
Documentation: Complete usage guides

🎯 Use Cases

1. Medical Research

Query drug interactions without hallucinated side effects:

$ nanocern query "What does Aspirin inhibit?"
→ COX-2 enzyme (confidence: 0.95)
→ Platelet aggregation (confidence: 0.92)
Source: 2 KUs, 3 citations

2. Scientific Literature Mining

Extract knowledge from papers automatically:

$ nanocern extract --source pubmed_abstract.txt
Extracted 47 KUs:
  - 23 causal relationships
  - 15 property assertions
  - 9 negative facts

3. Educational Q&A

Answer questions with cited sources:

$ nanocern ask "How does the heart pump blood?"
Answer: Cardiac output = Heart rate × Stroke volume
Confidence: 0.98
Sources: KU-HEART-001, KU-CARDIO-023

🚀 Quick Start

1. Download

📦 Download NanoCERN CLI v1.0

2. Install

unzip nanocern_cli_v1.0.zip
cd nanocern_cli
pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run

# Query existing KUs
python nanocern_cli.py query "photon"

# Extract new KUs from text
python nanocern_cli.py extract --file article.txt

# Build knowledge graph
python nanocern_cli.py graph --output knowledge.png

🧠 How It Works: The Brain Behind NanoCERN

Step 1: Knowledge Extraction

Input text is parsed into subject-relation-object triples:

Text: "Aspirin inhibits COX-2 enzyme"
→ KU: (Aspirin, inhibits, COX-2 enzyme)

Step 2: Causal Reasoning

KUs are chained to form logical inferences:

KU1: Aspirin → inhibits → COX-2
KU2: COX-2 → produces → Prostaglandins
KU3: Prostaglandins → cause → Inflammation

Inference: Aspirin → reduces → Inflammation

Step 3: Confidence Calculation

Confidence propagates through chains:

Confidence(Inference) = min(KU1.conf, KU2.conf, KU3.conf)
                      = min(0.95, 0.92, 0.90)
                      = 0.90

📊 Performance

Query Speed: <10ms for 100K KUs
Extraction Rate: ~50 KUs/second from text
Memory: ~1GB for 1M KUs
Accuracy: 98%+ on verified facts

🔬 Advanced Features

Negative Knowledge Units (NKUs)

NanoCERN knows what is not true:

{
  "subject": "Aspirin",
  "relation": "NOT cures",
  "object": "Cancer",
  "confidence": 0.99
}

Constraint Checking

Enforce logical rules:

# Rule: If A causes B, and B causes C, then A causes C
# NanoCERN automatically validates transitive causality

Multi-Domain Knowledge

Combine physics, chemistry, biology KUs in one graph:

$ nanocern query "photosynthesis" --domains biology,chemistry
Found 23 KUs across 2 domains

🤝 Integration with Medical Research Package

NanoCERN powers the knowledge layer of the Medical Research Package:

from nanocern import KnowledgeReactor
from body_model import BodyStateModel

# Load medical KUs
reactor = KnowledgeReactor()
reactor.load_kus("medical_kus/")

# Query drug effects
effects = reactor.query("What does Metformin do?")

# Apply to digital twin
body = BodyStateModel()
body.apply_knowledge(effects)

⚠️ Limitations

Not a chatbot: NanoCERN answers specific queries, not open-ended conversation
Requires structured input: Works best with factual text, not creative writing
Knowledge gaps: Can only answer what it has KUs for
