EffectData represents a unified type for heterogeneous causal graphs.

It follows the “Atomic + Escape Hatch” pattern:

• Atomic Variants: Common types like Bool, Float, Int, Vector.
• Algebraic Variants: MultiVector and Tensor (fixed to f64 backing for simplicity).
• Escape Hatch: Custom variant for any other complex type, using type erasure via Arc.

Variants

Bool(bool)

Boolean value (e.g., activation status).

Float(f64)

Floating-point value (standard numeric data).

Int(i64)

Integer value (counts, discrete states).

Numerical(NumericValue)

A generic NumericalValue (u8..u128, i8..i128, f32, f64).

String(String)

String value (labels, identifiers).

Vector(Vec<EffectData>)

A vector of EffectData, enabling recursive heterogeneous collections.

MultiVector(CausalMultiVector<f64>)

A generic MultiVector (Geometric Algebra), fixed to f64.

Tensor(CausalTensor<f64>)

A generic CausalTensor, fixed to f64.

PointCloud(PointCloud<f64, f64>)

A PointCloud (0-Complex), fixed to f64.

SimplicialComplex(SimplicialComplex<f64>)

A SimplicialComplex (Higher-order structure).

Manifold(Manifold<f64, f64>)

A Manifold (Valid SimplicialComplex), fixed to f64.

Custom(Arc<dyn Any + Send + Sync>)

An escape hatch for storing any other type that implements Any + Send + Sync. Note: This uses Arc to support cheap cloning of the reference.

Implementations

impl EffectData

pub fn from_custom<T: Any + Send + Sync + 'static>(val: T) -> Self

Creates a Custom variant from any compatible type.

impl EffectData

pub fn as_custom<T: Any + 'static>(&self) -> Option<&T>

Attempts to downcast the Custom variant to a concrete reference T. Returns None if the variant is not Custom or if the type doesn’t match.
