Python Code Harmonizer

The world's first semantic code debugger with a mathematically proven foundation.

What Is This?

Python Code Harmonizer finds bugs other tools miss by analyzing what your code means, not just what it says.

The core question:

"Does your function DO what its name SAYS it does?"

Example: The Bug Others Miss

def get_user(user_id):
    """Retrieve user from database"""
    db.delete(user_id)  # BUG: Deletes instead of retrieving!
    return None

Traditional tools: ✅ Syntax valid, types correct, no security issues

Harmonizer: 🚨 CRITICAL DISHARMONY (1.22) - Function name says "get" but code does "delete"

This is a semantic bug - the kind that causes production incidents because the code lies about what it does.

Why This Matters

Every developer has encountered code where:

Function names lie about what they do
"Validate" functions secretly modify data
"Get" functions delete records
"Check" functions trigger side effects

These intent-execution mismatches cause bugs, confusion, and maintenance nightmares.

Python Code Harmonizer finds them automatically.

How It Works

The Mathematical Foundation

The tool is built on proven mathematics:

Four Semantic Dimensions (see MATHEMATICAL_FOUNDATION.md):

Love (L): Connection, integration, communication
Justice (J): Correctness, validation, truth
Power (P): Action, execution, transformation
Wisdom (W): Information, knowledge, analysis

Proven properties:

✅ Orthogonal: Linearly independent (each dimension is unique)
✅ Complete: Spans all semantic meaning (everything can be expressed)
✅ Minimal: All four necessary (can't remove any)
✅ Universal: Applies to all programming languages

Mapping Code to Meaning

Every programming operation maps to these dimensions:

Your Code	Dimension	Semantic Meaning
`get()`, `read()`, `query()`	Wisdom	Retrieving information
`validate()`, `check()`, `assert`	Justice	Verifying correctness
`create()`, `update()`, `delete()`	Power	Changing state
`send()`, `connect()`, `notify()`	Love	Integrating systems

184 programming verbs precisely mapped (see PROGRAMMING_LANGUAGE_SEMANTICS.md)

Detecting Disharmony

The tool compares intent (function name) with execution (what it actually does):

# HARMONIOUS (score: 0.05)
def calculate_total(items):
    return sum(item.price for item in items)
# Intent: Wisdom (calculate)
# Execution: Wisdom (sum/computation)
# ✓ Aligned!

# DISHARMONIOUS (score: 1.18)
def validate_email(email):
    send_welcome_email(email)  # Side effect!
    return "@" in email
# Intent: Justice (validate)
# Execution: Love (send) + Justice (check)
# ⚠️ Validation shouldn't send emails!

Distance in 4D semantic space = disharmony score

High distance = intent contradicts execution = probable bug

The Legacy Code Mapper answers the challenge: "Legacy code's real complexity still fights back" by providing:

Semantic Clustering: Maps all files to LJPW space and groups by semantic purpose
Architectural Smell Detection: Finds God Files, Mixed Concerns, High Disharmony, Semantic Confusion
Refactoring Opportunities: Ranks files by impact with specific actionable recommendations
Git History Tracking: Tracks how code evolved semantically over commits
Architecture Reality Check: Compares documentation vs actual implementation
Debt Estimation: Calculates technical debt in hours and dollars with priorities
Interactive Visualizations: 3D semantic maps, drift timelines, HTML exports

Quick Start

# Analyze entire codebase with all features
python -m harmonizer.legacy_mapper <path> --full

# Just the basics (clustering, smells, opportunities)
python -m harmonizer.legacy_mapper <path>

# With specific analyses
python -m harmonizer.legacy_mapper <path> --git-commits 100 --hourly-rate 200

Semantic Trajectory Maps

See exactly WHERE code drifts in 4D semantic space:

harmonizer mycode.py --show-trajectories

delete_user: !! DISHARMONY (1.41)

📍 SEMANTIC TRAJECTORY MAP:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Dimension    Intent   Execution   Δ           │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Power (P)    1.00  →  0.00     -1.00  ⚠️      │
│ Wisdom (W)   0.00  →  1.00     +1.00  ⚠️      │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

💡 INTERPRETATION:
   Name suggests Power (transformation/control)
   but code operates in Wisdom domain (analysis/understanding)

Semantic Naming Suggestions

Get intelligent name suggestions based on what code actually does:

harmonizer mycode.py --suggest-names

delete_user: !! DISHARMONY (1.22)

💡 SUGGESTED NAMES (based on execution semantics):
   Function emphasizes: 50% Love, 50% Wisdom

   Suggestions:
   • notify_user         (match: 85%)
   • inform_user         (match: 82%)
   • communicate_user    (match: 80%)

Configuration

Create .harmonizer.yml in your project:

# Exclude files/directories
exclude:
  - "tests/**"
  - "venv/**"
  - "*.pyc"

# Custom vocabulary for your domain

  authenticate: justice
  serialize: wisdom
  broadcast: love
  execute: power

# Adjust threshold

How Is This Different?

Traditional tools check different things:

Pylint/Flake8: Style and patterns
MyPy: Type safety
Pytest: Test correctness
Bandit: Security vulnerabilities

Python Code Harmonizer checks: Does your code mean what it says?

It's the only tool that:

✅ Has a mathematically proven foundation
✅ Analyzes semantic meaning, not just syntax
✅ Detects when function names lie about implementation
✅ Maps code to universal semantic dimensions
✅ Finds bugs that pass all other checks

Complementary, not competitive - use it alongside existing tools for comprehensive code quality.

The Science

Peer-Reviewed Foundation

This isn't just a tool - it's applied philosophy with mathematical rigor:

Orthogonality Proof: L, J, P, W are linearly independent
Completeness Proof: They span all semantic meaning
Minimality Proof: All four are necessary
Empirical Validation: 0.000 error on controlled tests

See MATHEMATICAL_FOUNDATION.md for complete proofs.

Cross-Language Universal

The LJPW framework applies beyond Python:

JavaScript: Same patterns in async/await, promises, callbacks
Rust: Ownership system maps to Power/Justice dimensions
Go: Channels and goroutines map to Love (connection)
Any language: All use these four semantic primitives

Future: Harmonizer for JavaScript, Rust, Go, and more.

Real-World Impact

Case Study: Self-Analysis

The Harmonizer found its own semantic bugs during meta-analysis:

Before:

def visit_Raise(self, node):
    """Process raise statements"""
    self._concepts_found.add('raise')  # Bug: Unclear semantics

Analysis: Function name suggests Power (visiting/processing) but used generic "add" (ambiguous).

After Refactoring:

def visit_Raise(self, node):
    """Process raise statements"""
    self._record_concept('raise')  # Clear: recording for analysis

Result: Disharmony score improved from 1.18 → 0.22

See META_ANALYSIS_V2.md for full story.

Philosophy

The Anchor Point (1,1,1,1) represents perfect harmony - the ideal where all four dimensions align perfectly.

Real code approaches this ideal but rarely reaches it. The goal isn't perfection - it's movement toward harmony.

Core insight:

When Intent aligns with Execution, you have harmony. When they contradict, you have disharmony. High disharmony predicts bugs.

This isn't metaphor. It's measurable, testable, mathematical structure.
