Newtonian Mechanics
The floor plan of physics. Every other group renovates from here.
- Group — newtonian-mechanics
- Operators — 13 (NM18 – NM30)
- Anchor operators — KO42 · NM19 · NM26 · NM30
- Verification — energy and momentum conservation under
error_pct ≤ 0.1%; oscillators land within 1 ms of Zeqond grid
What it unifies
The 13 Newtonian operators cover the classical foundations every engineer uses daily: three laws of motion, gravity, work-energy, conservation of momentum, angular kinematics, and the harmonic oscillator. In Zeq they are not legacy code — they are the deterministic kernel lane that all other groups plug into when they need a classical fallback.
F = ma (NM19) is the most-called operator on the network. Pair it with KO42 and every simulated force is Zeqond-phase sealed, so long-horizon integration stays stable. The harmonic oscillator (NM30) is the canonical bridge into HulyaPulse — its ω is naturally scalable to 2π · 1.287 Hz whenever you need to tether a classical system to the kernel clock.
Operator catalog
| ID | Formula | Role |
|---|---|---|
| NM18 | ∑F = 0 ⇒ v = const | First law (inertia) |
| NM19 | F = ma | Second law |
| NM20 | F₁₂ = −F₂₁ | Third law (reaction) |
| NM21 | F = G m₁ m₂ / r² | Universal gravitation |
| NM22 | W = F·d | Work |
| NM23 | KE = ½ mv² | Kinetic energy |
| NM24 | PE = mgh | Gravitational potential energy |
| NM25 | KE + PE = const | Energy conservation |
| NM26 | p = mv | Linear momentum |
| NM27 | ∑p_init = ∑p_final | Momentum conservation |
| NM28 | L = r × p | Angular momentum |
| NM29 | τ = r × F | Torque |
| NM30 | F = −kx , x(t) = A cos(ωt + φ) | Harmonic oscillator |

Extend it
- Rigid body — chain NM28 + NM29 for gyroscopic stabilization with Zeqond-locked torque scheduling.
- Orbital — pair NM19 + NM21 for multi-body orbital propagation with ≤0.1% drift across hours of integration.
- Collisions — NM26 + NM27 for inelastic collision chains that respect mesh-level conservation receipts.
Seeds
- Near — a Zeq-native physics engine for game/robotics teams with drop-in replacement of
Box2D/Bulletsolvers. - Medium —
PhaseLock Motors— control loops that target HulyaPulse phase instead of simple PID setpoints. - Far — a kinematics workbench where classical + relativistic + quantum regimes compose into one field, no glue code.
