neighbour_index_gaps — MATH construct op

• データ種: pairs → signal

• 呼び出し: import fullseye as fs; fs.ledger.neighbour_index_gaps(points, k=6) (実装を直接呼ぶなら import mathops; mathops.neighbour_index_gaps(points, k=6)、台帳から引くなら opsmath.get("neighbour_index_gaps"))

使い方

How far apart *in index* are a point's nearest neighbours — parastichy as a number.

In a phyllotactic pattern the visible spirals (parastichies) are not drawn

by anything; they are an illusion of which florets happen to sit next to each

other. This op replaces the illusion with a count: for every point, take its

*k* nearest neighbours in space and record the difference of their

ordering indices. The histogram of those differences is returned, index

`g holding how many neighbour pairs were g` apart.

★Why this earns its place: with the golden angle the peaks land on

Fibonacci numbers (8, 13, 21, 34, 55 ...), and with any other angle they

do not. That is a statement about the arrangement which can be checked

without looking at the picture — which is the whole point, because the

spirals look convincing at every angle.

Parameters

----------

points : (N, 2) array

Ordered points — the order is the data here, not a convenience.

k : int >= 1

Neighbours per point (6 is the natural choice: a well-packed planar

arrangement is locally hexagonal).

Returns a `signal: counts[g]` = number of neighbour pairs whose index

difference is `g (counts[0]` is always 0 — a point is not its own

neighbour).

Raises `ValueError: not an (N, 2) array; fewer than k + 1` points;

`k` below 1; non-finite coordinates.

Limits: the first points of a spiral sit near the centre where the packing

is degenerate, so the histogram has a low-index tail that carries no

parastichy information. Compare *peaks*, not the raw tail.

HALCON: no operator.

ファミリ共通の入力契約(fail-closed)

mathops の全 op は入力を検証してから計算する(黙って通さない):

• **complex 入力は ValueError** — float64 への強制変換は虚部を黙って捨てる(numpy は ComplexWarning だけ出して「もっともらしく間違った」実数を返す)。.real/.imag/abs() を明示するか、複素対応の complexops を使う。

• **masked array(masked 要素あり)は ValueError** — マスクを剥がして下の生値を使う暗黙変換を拒否。埋める/落とすを明示する。

• **NaN/Inf は全入力で ValueError**(件数を明示して拒否 — 結果全体に伝播するため)。

• 形状は厳格: 1-D と 2-D を暗黙昇格・ブロードキャストしない(vector 枠に matrix、matrix 枠に vector は ValueError。reshape を明示する)。

• サイズ上限: 行列を取る op と stat_histogram の bins は mathops.MAX_ELEMENTS(2^26 ≈ 6700 万要素)超で ValueError。
