🐍 Python Scripts

1. Disprove TSE Similarity

scripts/disprove_tse_similarity.py

Finds cases where TSE claims similarity but alternative metrics (Manhattan, Chebyshev, cosine) show significant differences.

2. Challenge TSE Methodology

scripts/challenge_tse_methodology.py

Questions TSE's weighting system (50/25/25), rotation-invariance assumptions, and comma pattern detection.

3. Find TSE False Negatives

scripts/find_tse_false_negatives.py

Identifies cases where TSE says "dissimilar" but temperaments are actually musically related.

4. Statistical Anomalies

scripts/statistical_anomalies_tse.py

Identifies statistical issues: perfect matches (data duplication?), significance testing, historical attribution circularity.

5. Generate Socratic Exchange

scripts/generate_socratic_exchange.py

Generates dialog between TSE and Dark Counterpart publishers based on analysis findings.

6. Execute All Scripts

scripts/execute_all_dark_counterpart.sh

Shell script to run all analysis scripts sequentially.

⚠️ Important Note

All scripts connect to the database via http://localhost:8000 and perform real analysis on all 192 temperaments (18,336 comparisons). Results are timestamped and saved as JSON and text reports.

⚙️ Parameterized Weighting System

Configuration

Execution

  • SH scripts/run_all_weighting_schemes.sh - Run all scripts with all schemes
  • PY scripts/compare_weighting_results.py - Compare results across schemes

📋 Usage Examples

# Use predefined scheme
python3 scripts/disprove_tse_similarity.py --weighting-scheme equal_weight

# Use custom weights
python3 scripts/disprove_tse_similarity.py --fifths 0.40 --thirds 0.40 --commas 0.20

# Run all schemes
./scripts/run_all_weighting_schemes.sh
