neural-cd-preserve — self-healing optical-disc archives
Repositories: GitHub · 🤗 HuggingFace
Scan an optical disc into a self-healing .pt archive that detects and repairs
bit-rot and reconstructs the disc even from a damaged copy. Built on the same
neural-verified Reed-Solomon core as
neural-storage: each unique
chunk is RS-split into shards, every shard carries its own SHA-256, so silent
corruption is detected, marked as an erasure, and repaired from survivors (as long
as ≥ k of n shards remain).
Honest by design: RS self-healing protects the archive against future bit-rot. It cannot recover disc sectors that were already unreadable at scan time — those are recorded, and re-reads are merged. No entropy is beaten.
Use
pip install torch
python step_cd.py # full self-healing demo
python cli.py archive \\.\D: mydisc.pt --label MY_CD # drive or .iso
python cli.py verify mydisc.pt
python cli.py heal mydisc.pt
python cli.py restore mydisc.pt out.iso
The demo injects 149 silent bit-flips; verify detects all, heal repairs all,
restore returns bit-exact; corrupting beyond RS capacity is flagged LOST,
never silently wrong.
Weights: GF256.pt (verified GF(256) LOG/EXP).
Create your own verified unit (template: cdpreserve/gf256.py): write the
exact golden finite function → enumerate the domain (decompose big/linear ones
into bit/byte slices, see cdpreserve/rs.py) → common.train → common.verify
must be bit-exact on 100% of inputs → compose.
