Centralizes common math operations used across core/go-ai, core/go, and core/mining into Poindexter as the math pillar (alongside Borg=data, Enchantrix=encryption). New modules: - stats: Sum, Mean, Variance, StdDev, MinMax, IsUnderrepresented - scale: Lerp, InverseLerp, Remap, RoundToN, Clamp, MinMaxScale - epsilon: ApproxEqual, ApproxZero - score: WeightedScore, Ratio, Delta, DeltaPercent - signal: RampUp, SineWave, Oscillate, Noise (seeded RNG) 235 LOC implementation, 509 LOC tests, zero external deps, WASM-safe.

Poindexter Math Expansion
Date: 2026-02-16 Status: Approved
Context
Poindexter serves as the math pillar (alongside Borg=data, Enchantrix=encryption) in the Lethean ecosystem. It currently provides KD-Tree spatial queries, 5 distance metrics, sorting utilities, and normalization helpers.
Analysis of math operations scattered across core/go, core/go-ai, and core/mining revealed common patterns that Poindexter should centralize: descriptive statistics, scaling/interpolation, approximate equality, weighted scoring, and signal generation.
New Modules
stats.go — Descriptive statistics
Sum, Mean, Variance, StdDev, MinMax, IsUnderrepresented. Consumers: ml/coverage.go, lab/handler/chart.go
scale.go — Normalization and interpolation
Lerp, InverseLerp, Remap, RoundToN, Clamp, MinMaxScale. Consumers: lab/handler/chart.go, i18n/numbers.go
epsilon.go — Approximate equality
ApproxEqual, ApproxZero. Consumers: ml/exact.go
score.go — Weighted composite scoring
Factor type, WeightedScore, Ratio, Delta, DeltaPercent. Consumers: ml/heuristic.go, ml/compare.go
signal.go — Time-series primitives
RampUp, SineWave, Oscillate, Noise (seeded RNG). Consumers: mining/simulated_miner.go
Constraints
- Zero external dependencies (WASM-compilable)
- Pure Go, stdlib only (math, math/rand)
- Same package (
poindexter), flat structure - Table-driven tests for every function
- No changes to existing files
Not In Scope
- MLX tensor ops (hardware-accelerated, stays in go-ai)
- DNS tools migration to go-netops (separate PR)
- gonum backend integration (future work)
