🧩 Core Components of Ψ(x,t)
Components are the measurable expressions of structure inside the Ψ(x,t) field. While operators tell us how to interact with the field, components tell us what we find when we do. Each component defines a specific observable, transformation, or signature that reveals something about the modal state of the system.
In HHM v2.2 we currently curate ~36 components, labeled C001…C041 (with some reserved/deprecated). These include field projections, identity scores, entropy measures, symbol traces, rhythm gradients, and more.
- Has a mathematical definition and input/output specification
- Links to one or more operators (e.g., OP001–OP030)
- Supports one or more axioms and metatheorems
- Is testable on real data (EEG, CMB, symbolic systems, biology, quantum logs)
The list is not closed—you can define your own component if it has a clear definition, a computational basis, and a measurable effect in the field.

C001 — ModalField
The ModalField is the foundational projection of the Ψ(x,t) state into a measurable waveform or modal vector. It represents the raw “shape” of the field—before interpretation, classification, or comparison.
What it is
C001 takes the full, high-dimensional Ψ(x,t) field and projects it into a lower-dimensional structure: a waveform, frequency distribution, or symbolic pattern. This is the field’s first collapse—the moment it takes on analyzable form.
How it’s calculated
- 📈 EEG: time-series amplitude waveform across region/channel
- 🎼 Whale song: spectrogram slice or harmonic signature
- 🌌 Cosmology: spherical harmonic coefficient maps (aℓm)
- 🗿 Glyphs: symbol vector or positional signature array
Linked operators
- OP001 — CollapsePattern (applies directly to ModalField)
- OP004 — CollapseInfinity (recursive projections)
- OP006 — UnifiedEntropy (entropy over ModalField)
Why it matters
Without C001 there is no observable structure. ModalField gives the first “window” into the invisible—the emergence of pattern from potential.
Related domains
- EEG (filtered waveform collapse)
- CMB (low-ℓ harmonic projection)
- Whale song (pulse-band extraction)
- Symbolic systems (glyph collapse vector)
Used in
- AX003 (Collapse Stability)
- MT0001 (Axial Saturation)
- T014 (Modal Identity pipeline start)
C003 — UnifiedEntropy
UnifiedEntropy measures overall complexity and information density within a collapsed modal field, across time, frequency, or symbol space.
What it is
C003 generalizes entropy for time-series, symbolic, quantum, and biological data. It returns a unified value (often ~0 to 2.5) reflecting how “structured” a field state is.
Lower values (e.g., < 0.8) indicate coherence; higher values (> 1.8) indicate rich dispersion or interference.
How it’s calculated
Computed from the normalized distribution of ModalField (C001) or CollapsePattern (OP001):
Entropy(Ψ) = - ∑ pᵢ · log₂(pᵢ)
Linked operators
- OP006 — UnifiedEntropy (primary)
- OP004 — CollapseInfinity (convergence checks)
- OP030 — MatchingMemory (uses entropy signature)
Why it matters
Entropy in HHM is meaning range: how much variation a collapse is holding. It supports identity tests and cross-system comparisons.
Used in validation
- EEG (e.g., ~0.9 resting focus; ~1.2–1.3 REM-like)
- Whale motifs (coherent vs overlapping calls)
- CMB modal bands (~1.3–1.5)
- Binary/symbolic streams (~uniform near 1.0 when compressed)
Linked Theorems/Axioms
- AX004 (Entropy as indicator)
- T014 (Entropy Δ in identity)
- MT0002 (Recurrence stability)
C005 — ID (Modal Identity Vector)
A multi-dimensional vector encoding the persistent structural signature of a Ψ(x,t) state.
What it is
- Collapse centroid (weighted modal average)
- Entropy profile
- Norm amplitude / saturation

How it’s used
- Identity matching and clustering
- Memory tracking across sequences
- Trigger symbolic recognition once thresholds are met
Linked operators

- OP030 — MatchingMemory (recurrence checks)
Validated in
- EEG (stable ID across sessions)

C006 — FieldSimilarityScore
Quantifies structural similarity between two Ψ(x,t) states (0.0–1.0), enabling cross-domain matching.
What it detects
- EEG ↔ glyph triplets
- Whale song ↔ human voice harmonics
- CMB bands ↔ symbolic time systems
How it’s computed
- CollapsePattern alignment (OP001)
- Rec(Ψ₁, Ψ₂) (OP002)
- Echo profile differential (OP003)
- Entropy delta (OP006), often with ΔH ≤ 0.15 for “similar”
The score is a weighted average of deep structural overlap, not surface resemblance.
Linked operators
- OP003 — Echo
- OP002 — Rec
- OP018 — ModalCoherence (if defined in your bundle)
Validation examples
- Ψeeg ↔ Ψglyph ≈ 0.87
- Ψwhale ↔ Ψglyph ≈ 0.84
- ΨCMB ↔ ΨfMRI cluster ≈ 0.79
- Binary stream ↔ Rapanui ≈ 0.81
Why it matters
C006 is a bridge across systems: it asks whether two very different signals share the same modal “DNA.”
Used in
- MT0004 (Field Similarity)
- T014 (Cross-domain identity support)
C009 — EchoScore
Measures how strongly a Ψ(x,t) field resonates with itself over time/space/systems (repetition strength).
How it’s calculated
Echo(Ψ) = max{ R(τ) } for τ ≠ 0
where R(τ) = ∫ Ψ(t) · Ψ(t+τ) dt
In symbolic/non-temporal systems, use recurrence plots / RQA.
Used in

- Glyphs: segment loops
- CMB: low-ℓ band echoes
Linked operators

- Entropy delta (OP006)
- Rec(Ψ₁, Ψ₂) (OP002)
Scores ≥ 0.85 usually indicate “same identity” under the current thresholds (see your bundle).

📦 Extending the Component Library
The HHM component model is modular. Working with a new dataset—or a new symbolic/biological/physical domain—where you see recurring structure? You can define a new component.
A solid new component should have:
- A clear mathematical definition
- Test data or simulation with measurable behavior
- A link to at least one operator
- Optional: alignment with axioms/metatheorems
You don’t need to update the official file unless you want to publish. Keep your additions in your project and they’ll remain HHM-compatible. When you’re ready to share, include: the definition, the dataset, and a minimal reproduction script or prompt.
