These recommendations aim to improve the \"plasticity\" of the packing layout and the precision of the topological changes.\n\n1. **Weighted \"Runt-Inflation\" Objective**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to accept an optional weight vector for the radius term ($-\\sum w_i r_i^p$). During the \"Heat\" phase ($p=0.5$) of a move evaluation, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $w=3.0$) to the identified `runt` (smallest circle) while keeping others at $1.0$. This creates a targeted pressure gradient that forces the optimizer to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle, mechanically wedging its neighbors apart to create space rather than expanding all circles uniformly.\n\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Prioritization**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap heuristic to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. Currently, the program swaps with the tightest neighbor. Update this to calculate a \"slack score\" for each neighbor of the runt (sum of gaps to *its* other neighbors). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt but has high slack elsewhere, as this neighbor can absorb the displacement without causing a cascade of new overlaps.\n\n3. **Tri-Phase Tempering Schedule**\n Expand the relaxation loop inside the move evaluation from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage schedule: **Heat ($0.5$) $\\to$ Temper ($0.75$) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$)**. The intermediate $p=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve major overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $p=1.0$ objective snaps the circles to the nearest local maximum. This prevents the rejection of structurally superior but initially high-energy states.\n\n4. **Deterministic \"Radial Jolt\" Recovery**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback (used when no moves are found) with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike incoherent random noise, this coordinated expansion directly opens the specific geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow.\n\n5. **Min-Max \"Rescue\" Acceptance Criteria**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to allow \"Valley Crossing.\" Instead of strictly accepting moves only if the total sum of radii increases, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that block global optimization." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHybrid Pulsing Beam Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Micro-Relaxation Lookahead heuristics.\n\"\"\"\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(4242)\n\n # --- Phase 1: Topology Generation (Equal Circles) ---\n candidates = []\n\n seeds = []\n # 1.

The key innovation is a **Weighted \"Runt-Inflation\" Objective** combined with a **Tri-Phase Tempering Schedule**. This approach mechanically forces the packing to open up space around the smallest circle (\"runt\") by assigning it a higher weight during the high-temperature relaxation phase, effectively wedging its neighbors apart. Additionally, I will refine the \"Jailbreak\" heuristic to prioritize swapping the runt with neighbors that have high \"slack\" (mobility), and introduce a deterministic **Radial Jolt** perturbation to recover from stagnation.\n\nHere are the changes:\n\n\nloss_function_weights\n\n\n\nUpdate `hydro_loss` and `hydro_loss_jac` to accept an optional `r_weights` vector.

These recommendations aim to apply the \"Uniformity\" and \"Breathing\" insights more granularly to the iterative improvement phases.\n\n1. **Regularized \"Mini-Breathing\" in Move Evaluation**\n Modify the candidate evaluation loop in Phase 3 (where potential moves like swaps or relocations are tested) to use a two-stage relaxation. Instead of a single `minimize` call with `power=1.0`, split the budget (e.g., 50 iterations) into **25 iterations at `power=0.5`** followed by **25 iterations at `power=1.0`**. This allows the local topology to reorganize and distribute space uniformly around the new move before aggressively maximizing the radii sum, preventing premature rejection of promising topological changes.\n\n2. **Uniformity-Driven Perturbation Recovery**\n Update the \"Perturbation Trigger\" block (the Gaussian shake) to utilize the inverse-power regularization. When the system shakes the centers (`x_pert`), run the initial recovery minimization with `power=0.5` (or `power=0.8`) instead of `1.0`. This helps \"heal\" the randomized configuration by forcing `runt` circles to regrow and re-establish valid spacing before the solver switches back to the sum-maximization objective.\n\n3. **Geometric Radius Initialization for Voids**\n In `Strategy A: Move to Void`, replace the heuristic radius initialization (`r_prop[worst_idx] = np.mean(...)`) with the exact **geometric clearance**. Use the distance to the nearest wall or circle (calculated during void finding) as the starting radius. This reduces the initial penalty spike in the non-linear solver, allowing the optimizer to start from a valid or near-valid state rather than wasting iterations resolving massive artificial overlaps created by the mean-radius guess.\n\n4. **Constraint-Aware Neighbor Swapping**\n Refine `Strategy C` to prioritize swapping with **active constraint neighbors** rather than just spatial neighbors. Select swap targets based on the \"gap\" `(distance - (r1 + r2))`\u2014neighbors with near-zero gaps are mechanically locking the runt in place. Swapping with these specific circles directly modifies the constraints limiting the runt, whereas swapping with a nearby non-touching circle may not resolve the local jam.\n\n5. **Stepped Power Transition Schedule**\n Smooth the transition in Phase 2 between the \"Uniformity\" (`power=0.5`) and \"Maximization\" (`power=1.0`) phases. Insert an intermediate stage, such as **`power=0.75` with `weight=1e3`**, between the hard `0.5` and soft `1.0` steps. This gradual shift in the gradient landscape (from favoring small-circle growth to favoring total area) prevents the solver from snapping back to the original local minimum when the objective function changes abruptly." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nBreathing Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

The Power=0.5 objective acts as a regularization term that encourages uniformity and prevents small circles (\"runts\") from being prematurely crushed, allowing them to escape local jams.\n2. **Topological Surgery with Active Constraint Targeting**:\n * **Void Moves**: Relocates runts to the largest voids, initializing their radius with the exact geometric clearance to prevent artificial penalty spikes.\n * **Constraint-Aware Swapping**: Identifies neighbors that are actively constraining a runt (gap \u2248 0) and prioritizes swapping with them, rather than just spatial neighbors.\n3. **Dual-Stage Move Evaluation**: When a topological move (swap/relocation) is proposed, it is evaluated using a two-step relaxation: first with `power=0.5` to distribute space elastically, then with `power=1.0` to lock in the geometry, followed by an LP score check. This prevents promising moves from being discarded due to minor initial overlaps.\n4. **Soft Recovery Perturbation**: The final basin-hopping phase uses a soft relaxation step to recover valid configurations after random perturbation, improving the probability of finding better local minima.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nDual-Relaxation Breathing Packer (N=26).\nKey innovations:\n1. Cyclic stiffness schedule with 'Mini-Breathing' (power=0.5) to maintain uniformity.\n2. Topological Surgery with 'Active Constraint' neighbor swapping.\n3.

The Power=0.5 objective acts as a regularization term that encourages uniformity and prevents small circles (\"runts\") from being prematurely crushed, allowing them to escape local jams.\n2. **Topological Surgery with Active Constraint Targeting**:\n * **Void Moves**: Relocates runts to the largest voids, initializing their radius with the exact geometric clearance to prevent artificial penalty spikes.\n * **Constraint-Aware Swapping**: Identifies neighbors that are actively constraining a runt (gap \u2248 0) and prioritizes swapping with them, rather than just spatial neighbors.\n3. **Dual-Stage Move Evaluation**: When a topological move (swap/relocation) is proposed, it is evaluated using a two-step relaxation: first with `power=0.5` to distribute space elastically, then with `power=1.0` to lock in the geometry, followed by an LP score check. This prevents promising moves from being discarded due to minor initial overlaps.\n4. **Soft Recovery Perturbation**: The final basin-hopping phase uses a soft relaxation step to recover valid configurations after random perturbation, improving the probability of finding better local minima.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nDual-Relaxation Breathing Packer (N=26).\nKey innovations:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

Instead of a single pass, it uses an iterative sub-loop (depth 3) to find consecutive improvements. It generates moves (Void with exact clearance, Swap Max, Swap Neighbor), pre-filters them by a heuristic, and then evaluates the top 8 candidates using a fast \"Micro-Relaxation\". This allows exploring a wider search space efficiently.\n3. **Initialization**: Maintains the \"Exact Geometric Clearance\" initialization for void moves, which provides a high-quality warm start for the optimizer.\n4. **Polish**: Uses the dual-stage perturbation recovery (Soft Power 0.5 -> Hard Power 1.0) to escape shallow local minima in the final phase.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nElastic Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

Instead of a single pass, it uses an iterative sub-loop (depth 3) to find consecutive improvements. It generates moves (Void with exact clearance, Swap Max, Swap Neighbor), pre-filters them by a heuristic, and then evaluates the top 8 candidates using a fast \"Micro-Relaxation\". This allows exploring a wider search space efficiently.\n3. **Initialization**: Maintains the \"Exact Geometric Clearance\" initialization for void moves, which provides a high-quality warm start for the optimizer.\n4. **Polish**: Uses the dual-stage perturbation recovery (Soft Power 0.5 -> Hard Power 1.0) to escape shallow local minima in the final phase.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nElastic Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

During the \"Heat\" phase (`power=0.5`) of the surgery lookahead, assign a higher weight (e.g., `2.0`) specifically to the identified `runt` circle. This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the solver to expand the runt and push neighbors away, effectively \"prying open\" the local cage before the \"Cool\" phase locks the geometry.\n\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to prioritize \"mobile\" jailors. Instead of selecting swap targets based solely on tightness to the runt, calculate a `mobility_score` for each neighbor (defined as the sum of gaps between that neighbor and *its* other neighbors). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is effectively constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility (large gaps elsewhere), as this neighbor is mechanically capable of fitting into the runt's tight original position.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the simulation loop inside the surgery phase from a binary switch (`0.5` $\\to$ `1.0`) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat (`0.5`) $\\to$ Harden (`0.75`) $\\to$ Cool (`1.0`)**. The intermediate `power=0.75` stage allows the topology to stabilize and resolve overlaps while retaining enough \"elasticity\" to prevent the greedy `power=1.0` objective from immediately snapping the configuration back to the previous local minimum.\n\n4. **Min-Max Radius Acceptance Criterion**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to accept topological changes that significantly improve the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) even if the total objective score ($\\sum r$) drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of `1e-4`). This allows the algorithm to traverse \"energy valleys\"\u2014sacrificing short-term packing efficiency to fix structural bottlenecks (small runts) that eventually lead to higher global maxima in later iterations.\n\n5. **Directed \"Repulsion\" Perturbation**\n Replace the generic Gaussian noise fallback with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When the optimization stalls, apply a deterministic repulsion vector to the $k$ nearest neighbors of the `runt`, pushing them directly away from the runt's center by a small fixed distance (e.g., `0.01`). This explicitly breaks the specific constraint set holding the runt, whereas random noise often fails to generate the coherent displacement needed to unlock a jammed cluster." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nGraduated Breathing Circle Packing for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries.

During the \"Heat\" phase (`power=0.5`) of the surgery lookahead, assign a higher weight (e.g., `2.0`) specifically to the identified `runt` circle. This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the solver to expand the runt and push neighbors away, effectively \"prying open\" the local cage before the \"Cool\" phase locks the geometry.\n\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to prioritize \"mobile\" jailors. Instead of selecting swap targets based solely on tightness to the runt, calculate a `mobility_score` for each neighbor (defined as the sum of gaps between that neighbor and *its* other neighbors). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is effectively constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility (large gaps elsewhere), as this neighbor is mechanically capable of fitting into the runt's tight original position.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the simulation loop inside the surgery phase from a binary switch (`0.5` $\\to$ `1.0`) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat (`0.5`) $\\to$ Harden (`0.75`) $\\to$ Cool (`1.0`)**. The intermediate `power=0.75` stage allows the topology to stabilize and resolve overlaps while retaining enough \"elasticity\" to prevent the greedy `power=1.0` objective from immediately snapping the configuration back to the previous local minimum.\n\n4. **Min-Max Radius Acceptance Criterion**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to accept topological changes that significantly improve the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) even if the total objective score ($\\sum r$) drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of `1e-4`). This allows the algorithm to traverse \"energy valleys\"\u2014sacrificing short-term packing efficiency to fix structural bottlenecks (small runts) that eventually lead to higher global maxima in later iterations.\n\n5. **Directed \"Repulsion\" Perturbation**\n Replace the generic Gaussian noise fallback with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When the optimization stalls, apply a deterministic repulsion vector to the $k$ nearest neighbors of the `runt`, pushing them directly away from the runt's center by a small fixed distance (e.g., `0.01`). This explicitly breaks the specific constraint set holding the runt, whereas random noise often fails to generate the coherent displacement needed to unlock a jammed cluster." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

Modifies `loss_variable_radii` and its Jacobian to accept a `weights` parameter.\n2. Updates `construct_packing` to use a \"Runt Bias\" during the breathing phase (Power 0.5), assigning higher weights to the smallest 3 circles. This forces the optimization to prioritize expanding the bottlenecks of the packing.\n3. Enhances the Topological Surgery \"Swap Neighbor\" move to only consider neighbors that are significantly larger (>5% larger), filtering out neutral swaps.\n4. Replaces the random Gaussian perturbation in the final polish phase with a directed \"Earthquake\" perturbation. This deterministically pushes the k-nearest neighbors radially away from the runt circle, creating space where it is most needed.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\n # Breathing Schedule: (Weight, Power, Iterations)\n # Updated with P=0.5 regularization and stepped transitions\n schedule = [\n (100.0, 2.0, 100), # Init: Establish order\n (1e4, 1.0, 120), # Tighten 1\n (20.0, 0.5, 150), # Breathe: Low power encourages uniformity, low weight allows mixing\n (1e3, 1.0, 100), # Transition: Soft tighten\n (1e5, 1.0, 200), # Tighten 2: Hard\n (1e7, 1.0, 250) # Final Polish\n ]\n\n for stage_i, (w, p, it) in enumerate(schedule):\n res = minimize(loss_variable_radii, x_curr, args=(w, p),\n method='L-BFGS-B', jac=loss_variable_radii_jac,\n bounds=bounds_opt, options={'maxiter': it})\n x_curr = res.x\n\n # LP Rectification after tightening stages\n if w >= 1000:\n c_tmp = x_curr[:2*n].reshape(n, 2)\n r_lp = optimize_radii_lp(c_tmp)\n x_curr[2*n:] = r_lp\n\n # --- Phase 3: Lookahead Topological Surgery ---\n # Evaluates moves with LP, then refines top candidates with dual-stage relaxation\n if stage_i in [1, 2, 3]:\n c_curr = x_curr[:2*n].reshape(n, 2)\n r_curr = optimize_radii_lp(c_curr)\n current_score = np.sum(r_curr)\n\n # Identify Candidates: Bottom 3 (Runts)\n sorted_idx = np.argsort(r_curr)\n candidates = sorted_idx[:3]\n largest_idx = sorted_idx[-3:]\n\n # Generate Moves\n # Format: (heuristic_score, c_cand, r_cand, type)\n potential_moves = []\n\n for c_idx in candidates:\n # 1.

During the \"Heat\" phase (`power=0.5`) of the surgery lookahead, assign a higher weight (e.g., `2.0`) specifically to the identified `runt` circle. This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the solver to expand the runt and push neighbors away, effectively \"prying open\" the local cage before the \"Cool\" phase locks the geometry.\n\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to prioritize \"mobile\" jailors. Instead of selecting swap targets based solely on tightness to the runt, calculate a `mobility_score` for each neighbor (defined as the sum of gaps between that neighbor and *its* other neighbors). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is effectively constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility (large gaps elsewhere), as this neighbor is mechanically capable of fitting into the runt's tight original position.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the simulation loop inside the surgery phase from a binary switch (`0.5` $\\to$ `1.0`) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat (`0.5`) $\\to$ Harden (`0.75`) $\\to$ Cool (`1.0`)**. The intermediate `power=0.75` stage allows the topology to stabilize and resolve overlaps while retaining enough \"elasticity\" to prevent the greedy `power=1.0` objective from immediately snapping the configuration back to the previous local minimum.\n\n4. **Min-Max Radius Acceptance Criterion**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to accept topological changes that significantly improve the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) even if the total objective score ($\\sum r$) drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of `1e-4`). This allows the algorithm to traverse \"energy valleys\"\u2014sacrificing short-term packing efficiency to fix structural bottlenecks (small runts) that eventually lead to higher global maxima in later iterations.\n\n5. **Directed \"Repulsion\" Perturbation**\n Replace the generic Gaussian noise fallback with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When the optimization stalls, apply a deterministic repulsion vector to the $k$ nearest neighbors of the `runt`, pushing them directly away from the runt's center by a small fixed distance (e.g., `0.01`). This explicitly breaks the specific constraint set holding the runt, whereas random noise often fails to generate the coherent displacement needed to unlock a jammed cluster." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nGraduated Breathing Circle Packing for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

Specifically:\n - Adds a \"Targeted Inflation\" strategy that applies high weight to the runt during a soft relaxation phase, effectively \"prying open\" space for it before hardening constraints.\n - Updates the \"Move to Void\" strategy to use weighted inflation to help the moved circle establish itself in the new location.\n - Retains the \"Swap\" strategy for topological changes.\n - Increases the robustness of the loop with improved perturbation and strategy selection.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef variable_packing_loss(params, n, w, power=1.0):\n \"\"\"Objective: -sum(r^power) + w * penalties\"\"\"\n centers = params[:2*n].reshape((n, 2))\n radii = params[2*n:]\n\n obj = -np.sum(radii**power)\n\n # Overlap penalty\n=======\ndef variable_packing_loss(params, n, w, power=1.0, weights=None):\n \"\"\"Objective: -sum(weights * r^power) + w * penalties\"\"\"\n centers = params[:2*n].reshape((n, 2))\n radii = params[2*n:]\n\n if weights is None:\n obj = -np.sum(radii**power)\n else:\n obj = -np.sum(weights * (radii**power))\n\n # Overlap penalty\n>>>>>>> REPLACE\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef variable_packing_jac(params, n, w, power=1.0):\n \"\"\"Analytic gradient for variable packing\"\"\"\n centers = params[:2*n].reshape((n, 2))\n radii = params[2*n:]\n\n grad_c = np.zeros_like(centers)\n grad_r = -power * (radii**(power - 1.0))\n\n # Overlap gradients\n=======\ndef variable_packing_jac(params, n, w, power=1.0, weights=None):\n \"\"\"Analytic gradient for variable packing\"\"\"\n centers = params[:2*n].reshape((n, 2))\n radii = params[2*n:]\n\n grad_c = np.zeros_like(centers)\n if weights is None:\n grad_r = -power * (radii**(power - 1.0))\n else:\n grad_r = -weights * power * (radii**(power - 1.0))\n\n # Overlap gradients\n>>>>>>> REPLACE\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\n # --- Phase 3: Iterative Improvement with Mini-Breathing ---\n best_params = current_params.copy()\n c_base = best_params[:2*n].reshape((n, 2))\n best_score = np.sum(best_params[2*n:])\n\n no_improv = 0\n max_steps = 25\n\n for _ in range(max_steps):\n # 0.

During the \"Heat\" phase (`power=0.5`) of the surgery lookahead, assign a higher weight (e.g., `2.0`) specifically to the identified `runt` circle. This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the solver to expand the runt and push neighbors away, effectively \"prying open\" the local cage before the \"Cool\" phase locks the geometry.\n\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to prioritize \"mobile\" jailors. Instead of selecting swap targets based solely on tightness to the runt, calculate a `mobility_score` for each neighbor (defined as the sum of gaps between that neighbor and *its* other neighbors). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is effectively constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility (large gaps elsewhere), as this neighbor is mechanically capable of fitting into the runt's tight original position.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the simulation loop inside the surgery phase from a binary switch (`0.5` $\\to$ `1.0`) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat (`0.5`) $\\to$ Harden (`0.75`) $\\to$ Cool (`1.0`)**. The intermediate `power=0.75` stage allows the topology to stabilize and resolve overlaps while retaining enough \"elasticity\" to prevent the greedy `power=1.0` objective from immediately snapping the configuration back to the previous local minimum.\n\n4. **Min-Max Radius Acceptance Criterion**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to accept topological changes that significantly improve the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) even if the total objective score ($\\sum r$) drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of `1e-4`). This allows the algorithm to traverse \"energy valleys\"\u2014sacrificing short-term packing efficiency to fix structural bottlenecks (small runts) that eventually lead to higher global maxima in later iterations.\n\n5. **Directed \"Repulsion\" Perturbation**\n Replace the generic Gaussian noise fallback with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When the optimization stalls, apply a deterministic repulsion vector to the $k$ nearest neighbors of the `runt`, pushing them directly away from the runt's center by a small fixed distance (e.g., `0.01`). This explicitly breaks the specific constraint set holding the runt, whereas random noise often fails to generate the coherent displacement needed to unlock a jammed cluster." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs. (Constraint Tension)\n" + }, + { + "role": "assistant", + "content": "\nhyper_breathing_surgery\n\n\n\nRe-introduces the \"Hyper-Breathing\" logic which previously yielded higher scores (2.631 vs 2.620).\n1. **Dual-Stage Relaxation in Surgery**: Instead of a single stiff relaxation (`p=1.0`), moves are evaluated with a Soft (`p=0.5`) -> Hard (`p=1.0`) sequence. The soft stage allows the packing to \"breathe\" and accommodate the topological change (swaps/insertions) before locking it down, preventing premature rejection of good moves.\n2. **Active Constraint Swaps**: Replaces distance-based neighbor swaps with \"gap-based\" swaps. It identifies neighbors that are mechanically constraining the runt (gap ~ 0) and prioritizes swapping with them to break the local cage.\n3. **Exact Void Initialization**: Updates `find_best_voids` to return clearance radii, allowing precise warm-starting of the optimizer for void moves.\n4. **Optimized Schedule**: Uses the proven schedule `[Init, Tighten, Breathe(p=0.5), Transition, Tighten, Polish]`.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(4242)\n\n # --- Phase 1: Topology Generation (Equal Circles) ---\n candidates = []\n\n seeds = []\n # 1.

During the \"Heat\" phase (`power=0.5`) of the surgery lookahead, assign a higher weight (e.g., `2.0`) specifically to the identified `runt` circle. This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the solver to expand the runt and push neighbors away, effectively \"prying open\" the local cage before the \"Cool\" phase locks the geometry.\n\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to prioritize \"mobile\" jailors. Instead of selecting swap targets based solely on tightness to the runt, calculate a `mobility_score` for each neighbor (defined as the sum of gaps between that neighbor and *its* other neighbors). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is effectively constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility (large gaps elsewhere), as this neighbor is mechanically capable of fitting into the runt's tight original position.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the simulation loop inside the surgery phase from a binary switch (`0.5` $\\to$ `1.0`) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat (`0.5`) $\\to$ Harden (`0.75`) $\\to$ Cool (`1.0`)**. The intermediate `power=0.75` stage allows the topology to stabilize and resolve overlaps while retaining enough \"elasticity\" to prevent the greedy `power=1.0` objective from immediately snapping the configuration back to the previous local minimum.\n\n4. **Min-Max Radius Acceptance Criterion**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to accept topological changes that significantly improve the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) even if the total objective score ($\\sum r$) drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of `1e-4`). This allows the algorithm to traverse \"energy valleys\"\u2014sacrificing short-term packing efficiency to fix structural bottlenecks (small runts) that eventually lead to higher global maxima in later iterations.\n\n5. **Directed \"Repulsion\" Perturbation**\n Replace the generic Gaussian noise fallback with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When the optimization stalls, apply a deterministic repulsion vector to the $k$ nearest neighbors of the `runt`, pushing them directly away from the runt's center by a small fixed distance (e.g., `0.01`). This explicitly breaks the specific constraint set holding the runt, whereas random noise often fails to generate the coherent displacement needed to unlock a jammed cluster." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

During the \"Heat\" phase (`power=0.5`) of the surgery lookahead, assign a higher weight (e.g., `2.0`) specifically to the identified `runt` circle. This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the solver to expand the runt and push neighbors away, effectively \"prying open\" the local cage before the \"Cool\" phase locks the geometry.\n\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to prioritize \"mobile\" jailors. Instead of selecting swap targets based solely on tightness to the runt, calculate a `mobility_score` for each neighbor (defined as the sum of gaps between that neighbor and *its* other neighbors). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is effectively constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility (large gaps elsewhere), as this neighbor is mechanically capable of fitting into the runt's tight original position.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the simulation loop inside the surgery phase from a binary switch (`0.5` $\\to$ `1.0`) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat (`0.5`) $\\to$ Harden (`0.75`) $\\to$ Cool (`1.0`)**. The intermediate `power=0.75` stage allows the topology to stabilize and resolve overlaps while retaining enough \"elasticity\" to prevent the greedy `power=1.0` objective from immediately snapping the configuration back to the previous local minimum.\n\n4. **Min-Max Radius Acceptance Criterion**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to accept topological changes that significantly improve the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) even if the total objective score ($\\sum r$) drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of `1e-4`). This allows the algorithm to traverse \"energy valleys\"\u2014sacrificing short-term packing efficiency to fix structural bottlenecks (small runts) that eventually lead to higher global maxima in later iterations.\n\n5. **Directed \"Repulsion\" Perturbation**\n Replace the generic Gaussian noise fallback with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When the optimization stalls, apply a deterministic repulsion vector to the $k$ nearest neighbors of the `runt`, pushing them directly away from the runt's center by a small fixed distance (e.g., `0.01`). This explicitly breaks the specific constraint set holding the runt, whereas random noise often fails to generate the coherent displacement needed to unlock a jammed cluster." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHybrid Breathing Circle Packing for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

During the \"Heat\" phase (`power=0.5`) of the surgery lookahead, assign a higher weight (e.g., `2.0`) specifically to the identified `runt` circle. This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the solver to expand the runt and push neighbors away, effectively \"prying open\" the local cage before the \"Cool\" phase locks the geometry.\n\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to prioritize \"mobile\" jailors. Instead of selecting swap targets based solely on tightness to the runt, calculate a `mobility_score` for each neighbor (defined as the sum of gaps between that neighbor and *its* other neighbors). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is effectively constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility (large gaps elsewhere), as this neighbor is mechanically capable of fitting into the runt's tight original position.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the simulation loop inside the surgery phase from a binary switch (`0.5` $\\to$ `1.0`) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat (`0.5`) $\\to$ Harden (`0.75`) $\\to$ Cool (`1.0`)**. The intermediate `power=0.75` stage allows the topology to stabilize and resolve overlaps while retaining enough \"elasticity\" to prevent the greedy `power=1.0` objective from immediately snapping the configuration back to the previous local minimum.\n\n4. **Min-Max Radius Acceptance Criterion**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to accept topological changes that significantly improve the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) even if the total objective score ($\\sum r$) drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of `1e-4`). This allows the algorithm to traverse \"energy valleys\"\u2014sacrificing short-term packing efficiency to fix structural bottlenecks (small runts) that eventually lead to higher global maxima in later iterations.\n\n5. **Directed \"Repulsion\" Perturbation**\n Replace the generic Gaussian noise fallback with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When the optimization stalls, apply a deterministic repulsion vector to the $k$ nearest neighbors of the `runt`, pushing them directly away from the runt's center by a small fixed distance (e.g., `0.01`). This explicitly breaks the specific constraint set holding the runt, whereas random noise often fails to generate the coherent displacement needed to unlock a jammed cluster." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

This allows the optimization to prioritize expanding specific circles (runts) by scaling their contribution to the negative radius objective.\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Selection**: Updates the \"Active Constraint Swap\" logic in the surgery phase. Instead of selecting neighbors solely based on tightness (small gaps), it now prioritizes \"mobile\" neighbors\u2014those with significant slack (gaps) relative to other circles. These mobile neighbors are more likely to fit into the runt's constrained position, facilitating a successful swap.\n3. **Targeted Surgery Relaxation**: In the surgery lookahead loop, the \"Soft\" (Power 0.5) relaxation phase now applies a weight of `3.0` to the target circle (the runt or the circle inheriting the runt's improved position), forcing the physics engine to clear space around it.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(4242)\n\n # --- Phase 1: Topology Generation ---\n candidates = []\n seeds = []\n\n # 1.

During the \"Heat\" phase (`power=0.5`) of the surgery lookahead, assign a higher weight (e.g., `2.0`) specifically to the identified `runt` circle. This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the solver to expand the runt and push neighbors away, effectively \"prying open\" the local cage before the \"Cool\" phase locks the geometry.\n\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to prioritize \"mobile\" jailors. Instead of selecting swap targets based solely on tightness to the runt, calculate a `mobility_score` for each neighbor (defined as the sum of gaps between that neighbor and *its* other neighbors). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is effectively constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility (large gaps elsewhere), as this neighbor is mechanically capable of fitting into the runt's tight original position.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the simulation loop inside the surgery phase from a binary switch (`0.5` $\\to$ `1.0`) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat (`0.5`) $\\to$ Harden (`0.75`) $\\to$ Cool (`1.0`)**. The intermediate `power=0.75` stage allows the topology to stabilize and resolve overlaps while retaining enough \"elasticity\" to prevent the greedy `power=1.0` objective from immediately snapping the configuration back to the previous local minimum.\n\n4. **Min-Max Radius Acceptance Criterion**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to accept topological changes that significantly improve the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) even if the total objective score ($\\sum r$) drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of `1e-4`). This allows the algorithm to traverse \"energy valleys\"\u2014sacrificing short-term packing efficiency to fix structural bottlenecks (small runts) that eventually lead to higher global maxima in later iterations.\n\n5. **Directed \"Repulsion\" Perturbation**\n Replace the generic Gaussian noise fallback with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When the optimization stalls, apply a deterministic repulsion vector to the $k$ nearest neighbors of the `runt`, pushing them directly away from the runt's center by a small fixed distance (e.g., `0.01`). This explicitly breaks the specific constraint set holding the runt, whereas random noise often fails to generate the coherent displacement needed to unlock a jammed cluster." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs. (Constraint Tension)\n" + }, + { + "role": "assistant", + "content": "\nrunt_bias_and_slack_jailors\n\n\n\n1. **Weighted \"Runt-Bias\" Gradient**: Modifies `loss_variable_radii` and its Jacobian to accept an optional `r_weights` vector. This allows the optimization to prioritize expanding specific circles (runts) by scaling their contribution to the negative radius objective.\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Selection**: Updates the \"Active Constraint Swap\" logic in the surgery phase. Instead of selecting neighbors solely based on tightness (small gaps), it now prioritizes \"mobile\" neighbors\u2014those with significant slack (gaps) relative to other circles. These mobile neighbors are more likely to fit into the runt's constrained position, facilitating a successful swap.\n3. **Targeted Surgery Relaxation**: In the surgery lookahead loop, the \"Soft\" (Power 0.5) relaxation phase now applies a weight of `3.0` to the target circle (the runt or the circle inheriting the runt's improved position), forcing the physics engine to clear space around it.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(4242)\n\n # --- Phase 1: Topology Generation ---\n candidates = []\n seeds = []\n\n # 1.

During the \"Heat\" phase (`power=0.5`) of the surgery lookahead, assign a higher weight (e.g., `2.0`) specifically to the identified `runt` circle. This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the solver to expand the runt and push neighbors away, effectively \"prying open\" the local cage before the \"Cool\" phase locks the geometry.\n\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to prioritize \"mobile\" jailors. Instead of selecting swap targets based solely on tightness to the runt, calculate a `mobility_score` for each neighbor (defined as the sum of gaps between that neighbor and *its* other neighbors). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is effectively constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility (large gaps elsewhere), as this neighbor is mechanically capable of fitting into the runt's tight original position.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the simulation loop inside the surgery phase from a binary switch (`0.5` $\\to$ `1.0`) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat (`0.5`) $\\to$ Harden (`0.75`) $\\to$ Cool (`1.0`)**. The intermediate `power=0.75` stage allows the topology to stabilize and resolve overlaps while retaining enough \"elasticity\" to prevent the greedy `power=1.0` objective from immediately snapping the configuration back to the previous local minimum.\n\n4. **Min-Max Radius Acceptance Criterion**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to accept topological changes that significantly improve the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) even if the total objective score ($\\sum r$) drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of `1e-4`). This allows the algorithm to traverse \"energy valleys\"\u2014sacrificing short-term packing efficiency to fix structural bottlenecks (small runts) that eventually lead to higher global maxima in later iterations.\n\n5. **Directed \"Repulsion\" Perturbation**\n Replace the generic Gaussian noise fallback with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When the optimization stalls, apply a deterministic repulsion vector to the $k$ nearest neighbors of the `runt`, pushing them directly away from the runt's center by a small fixed distance (e.g., `0.01`). This explicitly breaks the specific constraint set holding the runt, whereas random noise often fails to generate the coherent displacement needed to unlock a jammed cluster." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs. (Constraint Tension)\n" + }, + { + "role": "assistant", + "content": "\nrunt_bias_and_slack_jailors\n\n\n\n1. **Weighted \"Runt-Bias\" Gradient**: Modifies `loss_variable_radii` and its Jacobian to accept an optional `r_weights` vector. This allows the optimization to prioritize expanding specific circles (runts) by scaling their contribution to the negative radius objective.\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Selection**: Updates the \"Active Constraint Swap\" logic in the surgery phase. Instead of selecting neighbors solely based on tightness (small gaps), it now prioritizes \"mobile\" neighbors\u2014those with significant slack (gaps) relative to other circles. These mobile neighbors are more likely to fit into the runt's constrained position, facilitating a successful swap.\n3. **Targeted Surgery Relaxation**: In the surgery lookahead loop, the \"Soft\" (Power 0.5) relaxation phase now applies a weight of `3.0` to the target circle (the runt or the circle inheriting the runt's improved position), forcing the physics engine to clear space around it.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(4242)\n\n # --- Phase 1: Topology Generation ---\n candidates = []\n seeds = []\n\n # 1.

This allows the optimization to prioritize expanding specific circles (runts) by scaling their contribution to the negative radius objective.\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Selection**: Updates the \"Active Constraint Swap\" logic in the surgery phase. Instead of selecting neighbors solely based on tightness (small gaps), it now prioritizes \"mobile\" neighbors\u2014those with significant slack (gaps) relative to other circles. These mobile neighbors are more likely to fit into the runt's constrained position, facilitating a successful swap.\n3. **Targeted Surgery Relaxation**: In the surgery lookahead loop, the \"Soft\" (Power 0.5) relaxation phase now applies a weight of `3.0` to the target circle (the runt or the circle inheriting the runt's improved position), forcing the physics engine to clear space around it.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(4242)\n\n # --- Phase 1: Topology Generation ---\n candidates = []\n seeds = []\n\n # 1.

This allows the optimization to prioritize expanding specific circles (runts) by scaling their contribution to the negative radius objective.\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Selection**: Updates the \"Active Constraint Swap\" logic in the surgery phase. Instead of selecting neighbors solely based on tightness (small gaps), it now prioritizes \"mobile\" neighbors\u2014those with significant slack (gaps) relative to other circles. These mobile neighbors are more likely to fit into the runt's constrained position, facilitating a successful swap.\n3. **Targeted Surgery Relaxation**: In the surgery lookahead loop, the \"Soft\" (Power 0.5) relaxation phase now applies a weight of `3.0` to the target circle (the runt or the circle inheriting the runt's improved position), forcing the physics engine to clear space around it.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(4242)\n\n # --- Phase 1: Topology Generation ---\n candidates = []\n seeds = []\n\n # 1.

You should derive and implement the exact Jacobian (gradient) for the objective `-sum(radii)` and the penalty terms (overlap and wall violations). This will provide the solver with precise directionality, leading to faster convergence and deeper local minima in the complex high-dimensional landscape.\n\n2. **Transfer Multiple Topologies (Top-K) to Phase 2**\n Currently, only the single best configuration from the equal-circle optimization (Phase 1) is used as a seed for the variable-radius phase. You should modify the workflow to pass the top 3 to 5 distinct local minima found in Phase 1 into Phase 2. The optimal topology for *equal* circles is not always the optimal starting basin for *variable* circles, and exploring multiple promising candidates increases the probability of finding a global maximum.\n\n3. **Adopt Dynamic Penalty Scheduling (Stiffness)**\n Instead of using a static high penalty weight (e.g., `w=1e5`) throughout the variable-radius optimization, implement a scheduling loop that gradually increases the weight (e.g., $10^2 \\to 10^4 \\to 10^7$). This allows the solver to traverse \"physically invalid\" states (overlapping circles) early in the process to reorganize the layout before strictly enforcing constraints, preventing the system from locking into suboptimal jammed states too early.\n\n4. **Integrate Basin Hopping for Variable Radii**\n Extend the Phase 2 optimization by wrapping the minimization in a \"Basin Hopping\" or \"Iterative Perturbation\" loop. After the solver converges, apply a small random perturbation to the centers and radii and re-minimize. This \"shake-and-relax\" strategy helps the system escape shallow local minima where small circles are trapped in inefficient gaps between larger ones.\n\n5. **Add Corner-Biased Initialization Heuristics**\n Optimal packings in square containers heavily utilize the corners to maximize space efficiency. Enhance the initialization set in Phase 1 by adding heuristic patterns that explicitly place circles deeply into the four corners of the unit square (e.g., at coordinates $(r,r), (1-r,r), \\dots$) before randomly or grid-filling the remaining space. This biases the search towards configurations that exploit the container's geometry more effectively than random or centered-hexagonal starts." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

This allows `L-BFGS-B` to converge much faster and more accurately than using numerical approximation.\n2. **Stiffness Scheduling**: Instead of a fixed penalty weight, Phase 2 now iterates through increasing weights ($10 \\to 1000 \\to 10^5$). This \"annealing\" approach allows circles to pass through each other initially to resolve jams before enforcing strict validity.\n3. **Top-K Topology Transfer**: Modified Phase 1 to select the top 3 distinct local minima (from random, hexagonal, and corner-biased seeds) to pass to Phase 2, rather than just the single best. This increases the probability of finding the global optimum by exploring different basins of attraction.\n4. **Corner-Biased Initialization**: Added a specific initialization strategy that places circles in the corners of the square, a known feature of optimal packings.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

During the \"Heat\" phase (`power=0.5`) of the surgery lookahead, assign a higher weight (e.g., `2.0`) specifically to the identified `runt` circle. This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the solver to expand the runt and push neighbors away, effectively \"prying open\" the local cage before the \"Cool\" phase locks the geometry.\n\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to prioritize \"mobile\" jailors. Instead of selecting swap targets based solely on tightness to the runt, calculate a `mobility_score` for each neighbor (defined as the sum of gaps between that neighbor and *its* other neighbors). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is effectively constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility (large gaps elsewhere), as this neighbor is mechanically capable of fitting into the runt's tight original position.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the simulation loop inside the surgery phase from a binary switch (`0.5` $\\to$ `1.0`) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat (`0.5`) $\\to$ Harden (`0.75`) $\\to$ Cool (`1.0`)**. The intermediate `power=0.75` stage allows the topology to stabilize and resolve overlaps while retaining enough \"elasticity\" to prevent the greedy `power=1.0` objective from immediately snapping the configuration back to the previous local minimum.\n\n4. **Min-Max Radius Acceptance Criterion**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to accept topological changes that significantly improve the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) even if the total objective score ($\\sum r$) drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of `1e-4`). This allows the algorithm to traverse \"energy valleys\"\u2014sacrificing short-term packing efficiency to fix structural bottlenecks (small runts) that eventually lead to higher global maxima in later iterations.\n\n5. **Directed \"Repulsion\" Perturbation**\n Replace the generic Gaussian noise fallback with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When the optimization stalls, apply a deterministic repulsion vector to the $k$ nearest neighbors of the `runt`, pushing them directly away from the runt's center by a small fixed distance (e.g., `0.01`). This explicitly breaks the specific constraint set holding the runt, whereas random noise often fails to generate the coherent displacement needed to unlock a jammed cluster." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nGraduated Breathing Circle Packing for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

These recommendations aim to refine the \"Hydro-Thermal\" strategy and improve the surgical precision of the optimization loop.\n\n1. **Weighted \"Runt-Bias\" Gradient Field**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to accept an optional `weights` array for the radius term (`-sum(weights * r**power)`). During the \"Heat\" phase ($power=0.5$) of the surgery lookahead, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $3.0$) specifically to the `runt` circle (the one with the smallest radius). This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the solver to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle and pushing its neighbors away, rather than treating all expansions equally.\n\n2. **Mobility-Aware Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. For each neighbor of the `runt`, calculate a mobility score defined as the sum of distances to *its* other neighbors minus their radii (i.e., its available slack). Prioritize swapping the `runt` with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility elsewhere, as this neighbor is mechanically capable of fitting into the runt's constrained position without causing a cascade of overlaps.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the simulation loop inside the move evaluation phase from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat ($0.5$, 20 iters) $\\to$ Stabilize ($0.75$, 20 iters) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$, 40 iters)**. The intermediate $power=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $power=1.0$ objective snaps the circles back to their nearest local maximum.\n\n4. **Min-Max Radius Acceptance Criterion**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to allow \"valley crossing.\" Instead of strictly accepting moves that increase the total sum of radii, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that prevent global optimization in later stages.\n\n5. **Deterministic \"Radial Explosion\" Perturbation**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike random noise, this coherent expansion directly creates the geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs. (Constraint Tension)\n" + }, + { + "role": "assistant", + "content": "\nrunt_bias_and_mobility\n\n\n\nThis edit implements two key heuristics to improve the packing optimization:\n1. **Weighted \"Runt-Bias\" Gradient Field**: The `loss_variable_radii` function and its Jacobian are updated to accept an optional `r_weights` array. In the topological surgery phase, when a \"runt\" (small circle) is moved (either to a void or swapped), a higher weight (3.0) is assigned to its radius term during the soft relaxation (Power 0.5) stage. This creates a targeted gradient pressure that encourages the runt to expand and push neighbors away, preventing it from collapsing back to a small size.\n2. **Mobility-Aware Jailor Selection**: The \"Active Constraint\" swap strategy is refined. Instead of selecting swap partners solely based on the tightness of the constraint (gap size), the algorithm now calculates a \"mobility score\" for each tight neighbor. This score represents the available slack (gap) the neighbor has with all *other* circles. Neighbors with high mobility are preferred swap targets because they have the geometric freedom to accommodate the displacement without causing cascading overlaps.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\n for stage_i, (w, p, it, surgery) in enumerate(schedule):\n # 1.

In the topological surgery phase, when a \"runt\" (small circle) is moved (either to a void or swapped), a higher weight (3.0) is assigned to its radius term during the soft relaxation (Power 0.5) stage. This creates a targeted gradient pressure that encourages the runt to expand and push neighbors away, preventing it from collapsing back to a small size.\n2. **Mobility-Aware Jailor Selection**: The \"Active Constraint\" swap strategy is refined. Instead of selecting swap partners solely based on the tightness of the constraint (gap size), the algorithm now calculates a \"mobility score\" for each tight neighbor. This score represents the available slack (gap) the neighbor has with all *other* circles. Neighbors with high mobility are preferred swap targets because they have the geometric freedom to accommodate the displacement without causing cascading overlaps.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\n for stage_i, (w, p, it, surgery) in enumerate(schedule):\n # 1.

These recommendations aim to refine the \"Hydro-Thermal\" strategy and improve the surgical precision of the optimization loop.\n\n1. **Weighted \"Runt-Bias\" Gradient Field**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to accept an optional `weights` array for the radius term (`-sum(weights * r**power)`). During the \"Heat\" phase ($power=0.5$) of the surgery lookahead, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $3.0$) specifically to the `runt` circle (the one with the smallest radius). This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the solver to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle and pushing its neighbors away, rather than treating all expansions equally.\n\n2. **Mobility-Aware Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. For each neighbor of the `runt`, calculate a mobility score defined as the sum of distances to *its* other neighbors minus their radii (i.e., its available slack). Prioritize swapping the `runt` with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility elsewhere, as this neighbor is mechanically capable of fitting into the runt's constrained position without causing a cascade of overlaps.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the simulation loop inside the move evaluation phase from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat ($0.5$, 20 iters) $\\to$ Stabilize ($0.75$, 20 iters) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$, 40 iters)**. The intermediate $power=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $power=1.0$ objective snaps the circles back to their nearest local maximum.\n\n4. **Min-Max Radius Acceptance Criterion**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to allow \"valley crossing.\" Instead of strictly accepting moves that increase the total sum of radii, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that prevent global optimization in later stages.\n\n5. **Deterministic \"Radial Explosion\" Perturbation**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike random noise, this coherent expansion directly creates the geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nGraduated Breathing Circle Packing for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

These recommendations aim to refine the \"Hydro-Thermal\" strategy and improve the surgical precision of the optimization loop.\n\n1. **Weighted \"Runt-Bias\" Gradient Field**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to accept an optional `weights` array for the radius term (`-sum(weights * r**power)`). During the \"Heat\" phase ($power=0.5$) of the surgery lookahead, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $3.0$) specifically to the `runt` circle (the one with the smallest radius). This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the solver to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle and pushing its neighbors away, rather than treating all expansions equally.\n\n2. **Mobility-Aware Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. For each neighbor of the `runt`, calculate a mobility score defined as the sum of distances to *its* other neighbors minus their radii (i.e., its available slack). Prioritize swapping the `runt` with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility elsewhere, as this neighbor is mechanically capable of fitting into the runt's constrained position without causing a cascade of overlaps.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the simulation loop inside the move evaluation phase from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat ($0.5$, 20 iters) $\\to$ Stabilize ($0.75$, 20 iters) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$, 40 iters)**. The intermediate $power=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $power=1.0$ objective snaps the circles back to their nearest local maximum.\n\n4. **Min-Max Radius Acceptance Criterion**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to allow \"valley crossing.\" Instead of strictly accepting moves that increase the total sum of radii, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that prevent global optimization in later stages.\n\n5. **Deterministic \"Radial Explosion\" Perturbation**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike random noise, this coherent expansion directly creates the geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nGraduated Breathing Circle Packing for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

Replace the random Gaussian perturbation with a deterministic \"Radial Explosion\" strategy that identifies the neighbors of the smallest circle (\"runt\") and pushes them radially outward to create space.\n2. Introduce a three-stage \"Tempering\" relaxation schedule (Heat p=0.5 -> Stabilize p=0.75 -> Cool p=1.0) inside the perturbation recovery and the local improvement moves (Void, Swap, Pressure).

These recommendations aim to refine the \"Hydro-Thermal\" strategy and improve the surgical precision of the optimization loop.\n\n1. **Weighted \"Runt-Bias\" Gradient Field**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to accept an optional `weights` array for the radius term (`-sum(weights * r**power)`). During the \"Heat\" phase ($power=0.5$) of the surgery lookahead, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $3.0$) specifically to the `runt` circle (the one with the smallest radius). This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the solver to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle and pushing its neighbors away, rather than treating all expansions equally.\n\n2. **Mobility-Aware Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. For each neighbor of the `runt`, calculate a mobility score defined as the sum of distances to *its* other neighbors minus their radii (i.e., its available slack). Prioritize swapping the `runt` with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility elsewhere, as this neighbor is mechanically capable of fitting into the runt's constrained position without causing a cascade of overlaps.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the simulation loop inside the move evaluation phase from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat ($0.5$, 20 iters) $\\to$ Stabilize ($0.75$, 20 iters) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$, 40 iters)**. The intermediate $power=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $power=1.0$ objective snaps the circles back to their nearest local maximum.\n\n4. **Min-Max Radius Acceptance Criterion**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to allow \"valley crossing.\" Instead of strictly accepting moves that increase the total sum of radii, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that prevent global optimization in later stages.\n\n5. **Deterministic \"Radial Explosion\" Perturbation**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike random noise, this coherent expansion directly creates the geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nBreathing Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs. (Constraint Tension)\n" + }, + { + "role": "assistant", + "content": "\nweighted_hydro_thermal_and_mobility\n\n\n\n1. **Weighted \"Runt-Bias\" Gradient Field**: Modifies the `hydro_loss` and `hydro_loss_jac` functions to accept a `weights` vector. This allows the optimization to apply targeted pressure to specific circles (e.g., the runt) during the \"Heat\" relaxation phase, forcing the bottleneck circle to expand and pushing neighbors away more effectively than uniform expansion.\n2. **Mobility-Aware Jailor Selection**: Updates the neighbor selection logic in the \"Jailbreak\" heuristic. Instead of selecting swap targets solely based on tightness (small gap), it now prioritizes neighbors that are tight *and* have high mobility (large cumulative gap with *their* neighbors). This ensures the chosen swap partner can actually move to accommodate the runt's volume.\n3. **Refined Surgery Loop**: Implements the weighted bias in the surgery loop (weight=3.0 for the relocated runt) and increases the iteration count slightly for better relaxation.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\n # Identify \"Jailors\" (Constraint Neighbors)\n # Gap = Distance - (r1 + r2).

This allows the optimization to apply targeted pressure to specific circles (e.g., the runt) during the \"Heat\" relaxation phase, forcing the bottleneck circle to expand and pushing neighbors away more effectively than uniform expansion.\n2. **Mobility-Aware Jailor Selection**: Updates the neighbor selection logic in the \"Jailbreak\" heuristic. Instead of selecting swap targets solely based on tightness (small gap), it now prioritizes neighbors that are tight *and* have high mobility (large cumulative gap with *their* neighbors). This ensures the chosen swap partner can actually move to accommodate the runt's volume.\n3. **Refined Surgery Loop**: Implements the weighted bias in the surgery loop (weight=3.0 for the relocated runt) and increases the iteration count slightly for better relaxation.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\n # Identify \"Jailors\" (Constraint Neighbors)\n # Gap = Distance - (r1 + r2).

These recommendations aim to refine the \"Hydro-Thermal\" strategy and improve the surgical precision of the optimization loop.\n\n1. **Weighted \"Runt-Bias\" Gradient Field**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to accept an optional `weights` array for the radius term (`-sum(weights * r**power)`). During the \"Heat\" phase ($power=0.5$) of the surgery lookahead, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $3.0$) specifically to the `runt` circle (the one with the smallest radius). This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the solver to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle and pushing its neighbors away, rather than treating all expansions equally.\n\n2. **Mobility-Aware Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. For each neighbor of the `runt`, calculate a mobility score defined as the sum of distances to *its* other neighbors minus their radii (i.e., its available slack). Prioritize swapping the `runt` with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility elsewhere, as this neighbor is mechanically capable of fitting into the runt's constrained position without causing a cascade of overlaps.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the simulation loop inside the move evaluation phase from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat ($0.5$, 20 iters) $\\to$ Stabilize ($0.75$, 20 iters) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$, 40 iters)**. The intermediate $power=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $power=1.0$ objective snaps the circles back to their nearest local maximum.\n\n4. **Min-Max Radius Acceptance Criterion**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to allow \"valley crossing.\" Instead of strictly accepting moves that increase the total sum of radii, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that prevent global optimization in later stages.\n\n5. **Deterministic \"Radial Explosion\" Perturbation**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike random noise, this coherent expansion directly creates the geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries.

Modifies `loss_variable_radii` and its Jacobian to accept an optional `r_weights` array.\n2. Rewrites `construct_packing` to implement a \"Weighted Runt Pulse\" during topological surgery. When a move (like relocating a small \"runt\" circle) is evaluated, the relaxation phase (power=0.5) now assigns a significantly higher weight (3.0) to that specific circle. This creates a localized gradient pressure that forces the runt to expand and push neighbors away, preventing it from collapsing back into a local minimum.\n3. Refines the surgery move set to include \"Jailor Swaps\" (swapping with neighbors that impose the tightest constraints) alongside Void and Max-Swap moves.\n4. Updates the Final Polish phase to use weighted recovery for the smallest circle.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef loss_variable_radii(params, w, power=1.0):\n \"\"\"Loss function: -sum(radii^power) + w * (wall_penalty + overlap_penalty)\"\"\"\n n = len(params) // 3\n centers = params[:2 * n].reshape(n, 2)\n radii = params[2 * n:]\n\n obj = -np.sum(radii ** power)\n\n # Wall Penalty\n=======\ndef loss_variable_radii(params, w, power=1.0, r_weights=None):\n \"\"\"Loss function: -sum(w_i * radii^power) + w * (wall_penalty + overlap_penalty)\"\"\"\n n = len(params) // 3\n centers = params[:2 * n].reshape(n, 2)\n radii = params[2 * n:]\n\n if r_weights is None:\n obj = -np.sum(radii ** power)\n else:\n obj = -np.sum(r_weights * (radii ** power))\n\n # Wall Penalty\n>>>>>>> REPLACE\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef loss_variable_radii_jac(params, w, power=1.0):\n \"\"\"Analytical gradient of loss function.\"\"\"\n n = len(params) // 3\n centers = params[:2 * n].reshape(n, 2)\n radii = params[2 * n:]\n\n grad = np.zeros_like(params)\n grad_centers = grad[:2 * n].reshape(n, 2)\n grad_radii = grad[2 * n:]\n\n grad_radii -= power * (radii ** (power - 1.0))\n\n # Wall derivatives\n=======\ndef loss_variable_radii_jac(params, w, power=1.0, r_weights=None):\n \"\"\"Analytical gradient of loss function.\"\"\"\n n = len(params) // 3\n centers = params[:2 * n].reshape(n, 2)\n radii = params[2 * n:]\n\n grad = np.zeros_like(params)\n grad_centers = grad[:2 * n].reshape(n, 2)\n grad_radii = grad[2 * n:]\n\n if r_weights is None:\n grad_radii -= power * (radii ** (power - 1.0))\n else:\n grad_radii -= power * r_weights * (radii ** (power - 1.0))\n\n # Wall derivatives\n>>>>>>> REPLACE\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(4242)\n\n # --- Phase 1: Topology Generation (Equal Circles) ---\n candidates = []\n\n seeds = []\n # 1.

When a move (like relocating a small \"runt\" circle) is evaluated, the relaxation phase (power=0.5) now assigns a significantly higher weight (3.0) to that specific circle. This creates a localized gradient pressure that forces the runt to expand and push neighbors away, preventing it from collapsing back into a local minimum.\n3. Refines the surgery move set to include \"Jailor Swaps\" (swapping with neighbors that impose the tightest constraints) alongside Void and Max-Swap moves.\n4.

Hybrid arrangements with variable radii.\n2. Better edge/corner utilization.\n3. Careful placement + robust radius assignment.\n4. Iterative local improvements and perturbation heuristics.\n5.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of the **Current Best Program (Generation 99)** and the identified global insights, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future program mutations. These recommendations aim to refine the \"Hydro-Thermal\" strategy and improve the surgical precision of the optimization loop.\n\n1. **Weighted \"Runt-Bias\" Gradient Field**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to accept an optional `weights` array for the radius term (`-sum(weights * r**power)`). During the \"Heat\" phase ($power=0.5$) of the surgery lookahead, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $3.0$) specifically to the `runt` circle (the one with the smallest radius). This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the solver to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle and pushing its neighbors away, rather than treating all expansions equally.\n\n2. **Mobility-Aware Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. For each neighbor of the `runt`, calculate a mobility score defined as the sum of distances to *its* other neighbors minus their radii (i.e., its available slack). Prioritize swapping the `runt` with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility elsewhere, as this neighbor is mechanically capable of fitting into the runt's constrained position without causing a cascade of overlaps.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the simulation loop inside the move evaluation phase from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat ($0.5$, 20 iters) $\\to$ Stabilize ($0.75$, 20 iters) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$, 40 iters)**. The intermediate $power=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $power=1.0$ objective snaps the circles back to their nearest local maximum.\n\n4. **Min-Max Radius Acceptance Criterion**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to allow \"valley crossing.\" Instead of strictly accepting moves that increase the total sum of radii, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that prevent global optimization in later stages.\n\n5. **Deterministic \"Radial Explosion\" Perturbation**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike random noise, this coherent expansion directly creates the geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs. (Constraint Tension)\n" + }, + { + "role": "assistant", + "content": "\ntempering_packer_26\n\n\n\nImplements a Hydro-Thermal Tempering optimization strategy for N=26 circle packing.\nKey improvements:\n1. **Three-Stage Tempering**: Surgical moves are evaluated using a Heat (p=0.5) -> Stabilize (p=0.75) -> Cool (p=1.0) schedule. This intermediate stabilization phase allows topology to settle before greedy maximization, reducing the likelihood of snapping back to local optima.\n2. **Runt-Bias Gradient Field**: During the \"Heat\" phase of move evaluation, the objective function applies a heavy weight (4.0x) to the smallest circle (runt). This creates a gradient pressure that actively pushes neighbors away, carving out geometric space for the bottleneck to expand.\n3. **Min-Max Radius Acceptance**: The lookahead search now accepts moves that increase the smallest radius significantly (>5%), even if the total sum of radii drops slightly. This \"valley crossing\" capability is crucial for repairing structural defects that limit global optimization.\n4. **Deterministic Radial Explosion**: Replaces random perturbation with a targeted \"explosion\" that pushes neighbors radially away from the runt when optimization stalls, directly attacking the packing's binding constraints.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Tempering Packer (N=26).\nFeatures:\n1. Three-Stage Tempering (Heat -> Stabilize -> Cool) for surgical move evaluation.\n2. \"Runt-Bias\" Gradient Field: Heavily weights the smallest circle during expansion phases.\n3. Min-Max Radius Acceptance: Allows score dips if the bottleneck (smallest radius) is significantly improved.\n4. \"Radial Explosion\" Perturbation: Deterministic bottleneck breaking when local optimization stalls.\n\"\"\"\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(4242)\n\n # --- Phase 1: Topology Generation ---\n candidates = []\n seeds = []\n\n # 1.

This intermediate stabilization phase allows topology to settle before greedy maximization, reducing the likelihood of snapping back to local optima.\n2. **Runt-Bias Gradient Field**: During the \"Heat\" phase of move evaluation, the objective function applies a heavy weight (4.0x) to the smallest circle (runt). This creates a gradient pressure that actively pushes neighbors away, carving out geometric space for the bottleneck to expand.\n3. **Min-Max Radius Acceptance**: The lookahead search now accepts moves that increase the smallest radius significantly (>5%), even if the total sum of radii drops slightly. This \"valley crossing\" capability is crucial for repairing structural defects that limit global optimization.\n4. **Deterministic Radial Explosion**: Replaces random perturbation with a targeted \"explosion\" that pushes neighbors radially away from the runt when optimization stalls, directly attacking the packing's binding constraints.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Tempering Packer (N=26).\nFeatures:\n1. Three-Stage Tempering (Heat -> Stabilize -> Cool) for surgical move evaluation.\n2. \"Runt-Bias\" Gradient Field: Heavily weights the smallest circle during expansion phases.\n3. Min-Max Radius Acceptance: Allows score dips if the bottleneck (smallest radius) is significantly improved.\n4. \"Radial Explosion\" Perturbation: Deterministic bottleneck breaking when local optimization stalls.\n\"\"\"\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(4242)\n\n # --- Phase 1: Topology Generation ---\n candidates = []\n seeds = []\n\n # 1.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of the **Current Best Program (Generation 99)** and the identified global insights, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future program mutations. These recommendations aim to refine the \"Hydro-Thermal\" strategy and improve the surgical precision of the optimization loop.\n\n1. **Weighted \"Runt-Bias\" Gradient Field**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to accept an optional `weights` array for the radius term (`-sum(weights * r**power)`). During the \"Heat\" phase ($power=0.5$) of the surgery lookahead, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $3.0$) specifically to the `runt` circle (the one with the smallest radius). This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the solver to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle and pushing its neighbors away, rather than treating all expansions equally.\n\n2. **Mobility-Aware Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. For each neighbor of the `runt`, calculate a mobility score defined as the sum of distances to *its* other neighbors minus their radii (i.e., its available slack). Prioritize swapping the `runt` with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility elsewhere, as this neighbor is mechanically capable of fitting into the runt's constrained position without causing a cascade of overlaps.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the simulation loop inside the move evaluation phase from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat ($0.5$, 20 iters) $\\to$ Stabilize ($0.75$, 20 iters) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$, 40 iters)**. The intermediate $power=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $power=1.0$ objective snaps the circles back to their nearest local maximum.\n\n4. **Min-Max Radius Acceptance Criterion**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to allow \"valley crossing.\" Instead of strictly accepting moves that increase the total sum of radii, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that prevent global optimization in later stages.\n\n5. **Deterministic \"Radial Explosion\" Perturbation**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike random noise, this coherent expansion directly creates the geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nGraduated Breathing Circle Packing for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

These recommendations aim to refine the \"Hydro-Thermal\" strategy and improve the surgical precision of the optimization loop.\n\n1. **Weighted \"Runt-Bias\" Gradient Field**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to accept an optional `weights` array for the radius term (`-sum(weights * r**power)`). During the \"Heat\" phase ($power=0.5$) of the surgery lookahead, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $3.0$) specifically to the `runt` circle (the one with the smallest radius). This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the solver to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle and pushing its neighbors away, rather than treating all expansions equally.\n\n2. **Mobility-Aware Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. For each neighbor of the `runt`, calculate a mobility score defined as the sum of distances to *its* other neighbors minus their radii (i.e., its available slack). Prioritize swapping the `runt` with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility elsewhere, as this neighbor is mechanically capable of fitting into the runt's constrained position without causing a cascade of overlaps.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the simulation loop inside the move evaluation phase from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat ($0.5$, 20 iters) $\\to$ Stabilize ($0.75$, 20 iters) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$, 40 iters)**. The intermediate $power=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $power=1.0$ objective snaps the circles back to their nearest local maximum.\n\n4. **Min-Max Radius Acceptance Criterion**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to allow \"valley crossing.\" Instead of strictly accepting moves that increase the total sum of radii, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that prevent global optimization in later stages.\n\n5. **Deterministic \"Radial Explosion\" Perturbation**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike random noise, this coherent expansion directly creates the geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

These recommendations aim to refine the \"Hydro-Thermal\" strategy and improve the surgical precision of the optimization loop.\n\n1. **Weighted \"Runt-Bias\" Gradient Field**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to accept an optional `weights` array for the radius term (`-sum(weights * r**power)`). During the \"Heat\" phase ($power=0.5$) of the surgery lookahead, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $3.0$) specifically to the `runt` circle (the one with the smallest radius). This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the solver to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle and pushing its neighbors away, rather than treating all expansions equally.\n\n2. **Mobility-Aware Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. For each neighbor of the `runt`, calculate a mobility score defined as the sum of distances to *its* other neighbors minus their radii (i.e., its available slack). Prioritize swapping the `runt` with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility elsewhere, as this neighbor is mechanically capable of fitting into the runt's constrained position without causing a cascade of overlaps.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the simulation loop inside the move evaluation phase from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat ($0.5$, 20 iters) $\\to$ Stabilize ($0.75$, 20 iters) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$, 40 iters)**. The intermediate $power=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $power=1.0$ objective snaps the circles back to their nearest local maximum.\n\n4. **Min-Max Radius Acceptance Criterion**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to allow \"valley crossing.\" Instead of strictly accepting moves that increase the total sum of radii, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that prevent global optimization in later stages.\n\n5. **Deterministic \"Radial Explosion\" Perturbation**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike random noise, this coherent expansion directly creates the geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of the current high-scoring programs and the specific mechanisms in Generation 99, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future program mutations. These recommendations focus on refining the \"Hydro-Thermal\" relaxation process and improving the surgical precision of topological changes.\n\n1. **Runt-Biased \"Inflation\" Gradient**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` objective function to accept a vector of weights for the radius term (currently $-\\sum r^p$). During the \"Heat\" phase ($p=0.5$) of the surgery lookahead, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $w=3.0$) to the identified `runt` (smallest circle) while keeping others at $w=1.0$. This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the optimizer to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle, mechanically wedging its neighbors apart to create space rather than expanding all circles uniformly.\n\n2. **Mobility-Aware Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. Currently, the program swaps with the tightest neighbor. Update this to calculate a mobility score for each neighbor of the runt (sum of distances to *its* other neighbors minus their radii). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility elsewhere, as this neighbor can absorb the displacement without causing a cascade of overlaps.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the relaxation loop inside the move evaluation phase from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat ($0.5$) $\\to$ Temper ($0.75$) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$)**. The intermediate $p=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve major overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $p=1.0$ objective snaps the circles to the nearest local maximum, preventing the rejection of structurally superior but initially high-energy states.\n\n4. **Min-Max \"Valley Crossing\" Acceptance**\n Modify the move acceptance logic in the surgery loop. Instead of strictly accepting moves that increase the total sum of radii, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that are preventing global optimization.\n\n5. **Deterministic \"Radial Jolt\" Perturbation**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback (used when no moves are found) with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike incoherent random noise, this coordinated expansion directly creates the geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

This creates a localized pressure gradient during the \"Heat\" phase ($p=0.5$), mechanically forcing neighbors to yield space specifically for the bottleneck circle.\n2. **Mobility-Aware Swaps**: Instead of randomly swapping with neighbors, the algorithm calculates a \"Mobility Score\" for each neighbor of the runt (sum of slack distances to *its* other neighbors). It prioritizes swapping with high-mobility neighbors that can absorb the displacement.\n3. **Radial Jolt Perturbation**: When optimization stalls, a deterministic \"Jolt\" is applied, pushing the nearest neighbors radially away from the runt to create immediate void space.\n4. **Three-Stage Tempering**: Move evaluation uses a `Heat (p=0.5)` -> `Temper (p=0.8)` -> `Cool (p=1.0)` schedule to stabilize complex rearrangements.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nPressure Gradient Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

These recommendations focus on refining the \"Hydro-Thermal\" relaxation process and improving the surgical precision of topological changes.\n\n1. **Runt-Biased \"Inflation\" Gradient**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` objective function to accept a vector of weights for the radius term (currently $-\\sum r^p$). During the \"Heat\" phase ($p=0.5$) of the surgery lookahead, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $w=3.0$) to the identified `runt` (smallest circle) while keeping others at $w=1.0$. This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the optimizer to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle, mechanically wedging its neighbors apart to create space rather than expanding all circles uniformly.\n\n2. **Mobility-Aware Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. Currently, the program swaps with the tightest neighbor. Update this to calculate a mobility score for each neighbor of the runt (sum of distances to *its* other neighbors minus their radii). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility elsewhere, as this neighbor can absorb the displacement without causing a cascade of overlaps.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the relaxation loop inside the move evaluation phase from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat ($0.5$) $\\to$ Temper ($0.75$) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$)**. The intermediate $p=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve major overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $p=1.0$ objective snaps the circles to the nearest local maximum, preventing the rejection of structurally superior but initially high-energy states.\n\n4. **Min-Max \"Valley Crossing\" Acceptance**\n Modify the move acceptance logic in the surgery loop. Instead of strictly accepting moves that increase the total sum of radii, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that are preventing global optimization.\n\n5. **Deterministic \"Radial Jolt\" Perturbation**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback (used when no moves are found) with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike incoherent random noise, this coordinated expansion directly creates the geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nBreathing Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries.

These recommendations focus on refining the \"Hydro-Thermal\" relaxation process and improving the surgical precision of topological changes.\n\n1. **Runt-Biased \"Inflation\" Gradient**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` objective function to accept a vector of weights for the radius term (currently $-\\sum r^p$). During the \"Heat\" phase ($p=0.5$) of the surgery lookahead, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $w=3.0$) to the identified `runt` (smallest circle) while keeping others at $w=1.0$. This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the optimizer to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle, mechanically wedging its neighbors apart to create space rather than expanding all circles uniformly.\n\n2. **Mobility-Aware Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. Currently, the program swaps with the tightest neighbor. Update this to calculate a mobility score for each neighbor of the runt (sum of distances to *its* other neighbors minus their radii). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility elsewhere, as this neighbor can absorb the displacement without causing a cascade of overlaps.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the relaxation loop inside the move evaluation phase from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat ($0.5$) $\\to$ Temper ($0.75$) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$)**. The intermediate $p=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve major overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $p=1.0$ objective snaps the circles to the nearest local maximum, preventing the rejection of structurally superior but initially high-energy states.\n\n4. **Min-Max \"Valley Crossing\" Acceptance**\n Modify the move acceptance logic in the surgery loop. Instead of strictly accepting moves that increase the total sum of radii, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that are preventing global optimization.\n\n5. **Deterministic \"Radial Jolt\" Perturbation**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback (used when no moves are found) with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike incoherent random noise, this coordinated expansion directly creates the geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries.

These recommendations focus on refining the \"Hydro-Thermal\" relaxation process and improving the surgical precision of topological changes.\n\n1. **Runt-Biased \"Inflation\" Gradient**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` objective function to accept a vector of weights for the radius term (currently $-\\sum r^p$). During the \"Heat\" phase ($p=0.5$) of the surgery lookahead, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $w=3.0$) to the identified `runt` (smallest circle) while keeping others at $w=1.0$. This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the optimizer to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle, mechanically wedging its neighbors apart to create space rather than expanding all circles uniformly.\n\n2. **Mobility-Aware Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. Currently, the program swaps with the tightest neighbor. Update this to calculate a mobility score for each neighbor of the runt (sum of distances to *its* other neighbors minus their radii). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility elsewhere, as this neighbor can absorb the displacement without causing a cascade of overlaps.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the relaxation loop inside the move evaluation phase from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat ($0.5$) $\\to$ Temper ($0.75$) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$)**. The intermediate $p=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve major overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $p=1.0$ objective snaps the circles to the nearest local maximum, preventing the rejection of structurally superior but initially high-energy states.\n\n4. **Min-Max \"Valley Crossing\" Acceptance**\n Modify the move acceptance logic in the surgery loop. Instead of strictly accepting moves that increase the total sum of radii, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that are preventing global optimization.\n\n5. **Deterministic \"Radial Jolt\" Perturbation**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback (used when no moves are found) with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike incoherent random noise, this coordinated expansion directly creates the geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs. (Constraint Tension)\n" + }, + { + "role": "assistant", + "content": "\ntempered_surgery_void_scoring\n\n\n\n1. **3-Stage Tempering Evaluation**: Modifies the surgery lookahead loop to use a Heat ($p=0.5$) $\\to$ Temper ($p=0.8$) $\\to$ Cool ($p=1.0$) relaxation schedule. This intermediate stage helps stabilize complex topological changes (like swaps) before locking them in, acting as a \"hardening\" phase.\n2. **Min-Max \"Valley Crossing\" Acceptance**: Updates move acceptance logic to accept moves that significantly improve the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) even if the total score drops slightly (within a tolerance). This allows escaping local optima where a single runt circle is pinned.\n3. **Heuristic Void Scoring**: Updates `find_best_voids` to return the estimated clearance radius, allowing the surgery loop to estimate and sort void moves by potential score gain before expensive evaluation.\n4. **Optimized Schedule**: Adds a tempering stage to the main optimization loop as well.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(4242)\n\n # --- Phase 1: Topology Generation (Equal Circles) ---\n candidates = []\n\n seeds = []\n # 1.

These recommendations focus on refining the \"Hydro-Thermal\" relaxation process and improving the surgical precision of topological changes.\n\n1. **Runt-Biased \"Inflation\" Gradient**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` objective function to accept a vector of weights for the radius term (currently $-\\sum r^p$). During the \"Heat\" phase ($p=0.5$) of the surgery lookahead, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $w=3.0$) to the identified `runt` (smallest circle) while keeping others at $w=1.0$. This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the optimizer to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle, mechanically wedging its neighbors apart to create space rather than expanding all circles uniformly.\n\n2. **Mobility-Aware Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. Currently, the program swaps with the tightest neighbor. Update this to calculate a mobility score for each neighbor of the runt (sum of distances to *its* other neighbors minus their radii). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility elsewhere, as this neighbor can absorb the displacement without causing a cascade of overlaps.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the relaxation loop inside the move evaluation phase from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat ($0.5$) $\\to$ Temper ($0.75$) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$)**. The intermediate $p=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve major overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $p=1.0$ objective snaps the circles to the nearest local maximum, preventing the rejection of structurally superior but initially high-energy states.\n\n4. **Min-Max \"Valley Crossing\" Acceptance**\n Modify the move acceptance logic in the surgery loop. Instead of strictly accepting moves that increase the total sum of radii, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that are preventing global optimization.\n\n5. **Deterministic \"Radial Jolt\" Perturbation**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback (used when no moves are found) with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike incoherent random noise, this coordinated expansion directly creates the geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nBreathing Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

These recommendations focus on refining the \"Hydro-Thermal\" relaxation process and improving the surgical precision of topological changes.\n\n1. **Runt-Biased \"Inflation\" Gradient**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` objective function to accept a vector of weights for the radius term (currently $-\\sum r^p$). During the \"Heat\" phase ($p=0.5$) of the surgery lookahead, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $w=3.0$) to the identified `runt` (smallest circle) while keeping others at $w=1.0$. This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the optimizer to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle, mechanically wedging its neighbors apart to create space rather than expanding all circles uniformly.\n\n2. **Mobility-Aware Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. Currently, the program swaps with the tightest neighbor. Update this to calculate a mobility score for each neighbor of the runt (sum of distances to *its* other neighbors minus their radii). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility elsewhere, as this neighbor can absorb the displacement without causing a cascade of overlaps.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the relaxation loop inside the move evaluation phase from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat ($0.5$) $\\to$ Temper ($0.75$) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$)**. The intermediate $p=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve major overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $p=1.0$ objective snaps the circles to the nearest local maximum, preventing the rejection of structurally superior but initially high-energy states.\n\n4. **Min-Max \"Valley Crossing\" Acceptance**\n Modify the move acceptance logic in the surgery loop. Instead of strictly accepting moves that increase the total sum of radii, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that are preventing global optimization.\n\n5. **Deterministic \"Radial Jolt\" Perturbation**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback (used when no moves are found) with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike incoherent random noise, this coordinated expansion directly creates the geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries.

These recommendations focus on refining the \"Hydro-Thermal\" relaxation process and improving the surgical precision of topological changes.\n\n1. **Runt-Biased \"Inflation\" Gradient**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` objective function to accept a vector of weights for the radius term (currently $-\\sum r^p$). During the \"Heat\" phase ($p=0.5$) of the surgery lookahead, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $w=3.0$) to the identified `runt` (smallest circle) while keeping others at $w=1.0$. This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the optimizer to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle, mechanically wedging its neighbors apart to create space rather than expanding all circles uniformly.\n\n2. **Mobility-Aware Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. Currently, the program swaps with the tightest neighbor. Update this to calculate a mobility score for each neighbor of the runt (sum of distances to *its* other neighbors minus their radii). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility elsewhere, as this neighbor can absorb the displacement without causing a cascade of overlaps.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the relaxation loop inside the move evaluation phase from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat ($0.5$) $\\to$ Temper ($0.75$) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$)**. The intermediate $p=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve major overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $p=1.0$ objective snaps the circles to the nearest local maximum, preventing the rejection of structurally superior but initially high-energy states.\n\n4. **Min-Max \"Valley Crossing\" Acceptance**\n Modify the move acceptance logic in the surgery loop. Instead of strictly accepting moves that increase the total sum of radii, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that are preventing global optimization.\n\n5. **Deterministic \"Radial Jolt\" Perturbation**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback (used when no moves are found) with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike incoherent random noise, this coordinated expansion directly creates the geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nBreathing Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

You should derive and implement the exact Jacobian (gradient) for the objective `-sum(radii)` and the penalty terms (overlap and wall violations). This will provide the solver with precise directionality, leading to faster convergence and deeper local minima in the complex high-dimensional landscape.\n\n2. **Transfer Multiple Topologies (Top-K) to Phase 2**\n Currently, only the single best configuration from the equal-circle optimization (Phase 1) is used as a seed for the variable-radius phase. You should modify the workflow to pass the top 3 to 5 distinct local minima found in Phase 1 into Phase 2. The optimal topology for *equal* circles is not always the optimal starting basin for *variable* circles, and exploring multiple promising candidates increases the probability of finding a global maximum.\n\n3. **Adopt Dynamic Penalty Scheduling (Stiffness)**\n Instead of using a static high penalty weight (e.g., `w=1e5`) throughout the variable-radius optimization, implement a scheduling loop that gradually increases the weight (e.g., $10^2 \\to 10^4 \\to 10^7$). This allows the solver to traverse \"physically invalid\" states (overlapping circles) early in the process to reorganize the layout before strictly enforcing constraints, preventing the system from locking into suboptimal jammed states too early.\n\n4. **Integrate Basin Hopping for Variable Radii**\n Extend the Phase 2 optimization by wrapping the minimization in a \"Basin Hopping\" or \"Iterative Perturbation\" loop. After the solver converges, apply a small random perturbation to the centers and radii and re-minimize. This \"shake-and-relax\" strategy helps the system escape shallow local minima where small circles are trapped in inefficient gaps between larger ones.\n\n5. **Add Corner-Biased Initialization Heuristics**\n Optimal packings in square containers heavily utilize the corners to maximize space efficiency. Enhance the initialization set in Phase 1 by adding heuristic patterns that explicitly place circles deeply into the four corners of the unit square (e.g., at coordinates $(r,r), (1-r,r), \\dots$) before randomly or grid-filling the remaining space. This biases the search towards configurations that exploit the container's geometry more effectively than random or centered-hexagonal starts." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

These recommendations focus on refining the \"Hydro-Thermal\" relaxation process and improving the surgical precision of topological changes.\n\n1. **Runt-Biased \"Inflation\" Gradient**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` objective function to accept a vector of weights for the radius term (currently $-\\sum r^p$). During the \"Heat\" phase ($p=0.5$) of the surgery lookahead, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $w=3.0$) to the identified `runt` (smallest circle) while keeping others at $w=1.0$. This creates a targeted gradient pressure that forces the optimizer to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle, mechanically wedging its neighbors apart to create space rather than expanding all circles uniformly.\n\n2. **Mobility-Aware Jailor Selection**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap strategy to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. Currently, the program swaps with the tightest neighbor. Update this to calculate a mobility score for each neighbor of the runt (sum of distances to *its* other neighbors minus their radii). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt (zero gap) but has high mobility elsewhere, as this neighbor can absorb the displacement without causing a cascade of overlaps.\n\n3. **Three-Stage \"Tempering\" Schedule**\n Expand the relaxation loop inside the move evaluation phase from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage tempering schedule: **Heat ($0.5$) $\\to$ Temper ($0.75$) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$)**. The intermediate $p=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve major overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $p=1.0$ objective snaps the circles to the nearest local maximum, preventing the rejection of structurally superior but initially high-energy states.\n\n4. **Min-Max \"Valley Crossing\" Acceptance**\n Modify the move acceptance logic in the surgery loop. Instead of strictly accepting moves that increase the total sum of radii, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that are preventing global optimization.\n\n5. **Deterministic \"Radial Jolt\" Perturbation**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback (used when no moves are found) with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike incoherent random noise, this coordinated expansion directly creates the geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

These recommendations aim to improve the \"plasticity\" of the packing layout and the precision of the topological changes.\n\n1. **Weighted \"Runt-Inflation\" Objective**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to accept an optional weight vector for the radius term ($-\\sum w_i r_i^p$). During the \"Heat\" phase ($p=0.5$) of a move evaluation, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $w=3.0$) to the identified `runt` (smallest circle) while keeping others at $1.0$. This creates a targeted pressure gradient that forces the optimizer to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle, mechanically wedging its neighbors apart to create space rather than expanding all circles uniformly.\n\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Prioritization**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap heuristic to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. Currently, the program swaps with the tightest neighbor. Update this to calculate a \"slack score\" for each neighbor of the runt (sum of gaps to *its* other neighbors). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt but has high slack elsewhere, as this neighbor can absorb the displacement without causing a cascade of new overlaps.\n\n3. **Tri-Phase Tempering Schedule**\n Expand the relaxation loop inside the move evaluation from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage schedule: **Heat ($0.5$) $\\to$ Temper ($0.75$) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$)**. The intermediate $p=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve major overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $p=1.0$ objective snaps the circles to the nearest local maximum. This prevents the rejection of structurally superior but initially high-energy states.\n\n4. **Deterministic \"Radial Jolt\" Recovery**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback (used when no moves are found) with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike incoherent random noise, this coordinated expansion directly opens the specific geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow.\n\n5. **Min-Max \"Rescue\" Acceptance Criteria**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to allow \"Valley Crossing.\" Instead of strictly accepting moves only if the total sum of radii increases, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of $1e-4$).

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

These recommendations aim to improve the \"plasticity\" of the packing layout and the precision of the topological changes.\n\n1. **Weighted \"Runt-Inflation\" Objective**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to accept an optional weight vector for the radius term ($-\\sum w_i r_i^p$). During the \"Heat\" phase ($p=0.5$) of a move evaluation, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $w=3.0$) to the identified `runt` (smallest circle) while keeping others at $1.0$. This creates a targeted pressure gradient that forces the optimizer to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle, mechanically wedging its neighbors apart to create space rather than expanding all circles uniformly.\n\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Prioritization**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap heuristic to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. Currently, the program swaps with the tightest neighbor. Update this to calculate a \"slack score\" for each neighbor of the runt (sum of gaps to *its* other neighbors). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt but has high slack elsewhere, as this neighbor can absorb the displacement without causing a cascade of new overlaps.\n\n3. **Tri-Phase Tempering Schedule**\n Expand the relaxation loop inside the move evaluation from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage schedule: **Heat ($0.5$) $\\to$ Temper ($0.75$) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$)**. The intermediate $p=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve major overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $p=1.0$ objective snaps the circles to the nearest local maximum. This prevents the rejection of structurally superior but initially high-energy states.\n\n4. **Deterministic \"Radial Jolt\" Recovery**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback (used when no moves are found) with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike incoherent random noise, this coordinated expansion directly opens the specific geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow.\n\n5. **Min-Max \"Rescue\" Acceptance Criteria**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to allow \"Valley Crossing.\" Instead of strictly accepting moves only if the total sum of radii increases, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that block global optimization." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nBreathing Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

The most recent version achieved 2.6268, indicating a regression likely due to an overly aggressive perturbation scheme and a loss of precision in the topological swap heuristic (which relied on simple radius swaps rather than LP-calculated potentials).\n\nThis modification:\n1. **Refines the Optimization Schedule**: Reintroduces a deeper \"Heat\" phase ($w=20, p=0.5$) based on the highest-performing iteration, which allows for better mixing of circle positions before hardening.\n2. **Restores LP Heuristics in Surgery**: The previous iteration just swapped radius values ($r_i \\leftrightarrow r_j$) to estimate swap scores, which is inaccurate for geometric constraints. This update calls `optimize_radii_lp` for swap candidates to get a true potential score, ensuring the sorting of moves is meaningful.\n3. **Enhances Final Polish**: Instead of alternating between radial explosion and gaussian noise, it now evaluates *both* at each step and keeps the best result, maximizing the chance of escaping local optima.\n4. **Tightens Bounds**: Enforces a minimum radius of 0.005 to prevent circles from degenerating to points, ensuring they remain active participants in the force-field optimization.\n\n\noptimize_bounds_schedule_surgery\n\n\n\n1. Tighten min radius bound to 0.005 to prevent degeneracy.\n2. Adopt a deeper relaxation schedule (Heat w=20, p=0.5) to allow better mixing.\n3. Restore LP-based heuristic scoring for 'swap' moves in topological surgery, ensuring we pick swaps that are geometrically viable.\n4.

The most recent version achieved 2.6268, indicating a regression likely due to an overly aggressive perturbation scheme and a loss of precision in the topological swap heuristic (which relied on simple radius swaps rather than LP-calculated potentials).\n\nThis modification:\n1. **Refines the Optimization Schedule**: Reintroduces a deeper \"Heat\" phase ($w=20, p=0.5$) based on the highest-performing iteration, which allows for better mixing of circle positions before hardening.\n2. **Restores LP Heuristics in Surgery**: The previous iteration just swapped radius values ($r_i \\leftrightarrow r_j$) to estimate swap scores, which is inaccurate for geometric constraints. This update calls `optimize_radii_lp` for swap candidates to get a true potential score, ensuring the sorting of moves is meaningful.\n3. **Enhances Final Polish**: Instead of alternating between radial explosion and gaussian noise, it now evaluates *both* at each step and keeps the best result, maximizing the chance of escaping local optima.\n4. **Tightens Bounds**: Enforces a minimum radius of 0.005 to prevent circles from degenerating to points, ensuring they remain active participants in the force-field optimization.\n\n\noptimize_bounds_schedule_surgery\n\n\n\n1. Tighten min radius bound to 0.005 to prevent degeneracy.\n2. Adopt a deeper relaxation schedule (Heat w=20, p=0.5) to allow better mixing.\n3. Restore LP-based heuristic scoring for 'swap' moves in topological surgery, ensuring we pick swaps that are geometrically viable.\n4. Enhance final polish to try both Radial Explosion and Gaussian Noise at each step, keeping the best.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\n bounds_opt = [(0, 1)] * (2 * n) + [(1e-6, 0.5)] * n\n\n for base_min_d, base_pts in top_candidates:\n # Initial radii guess\n r0 = base_min_d / (2 * (1 + base_min_d))\n centers = r0 + (1 - 2*r0) * base_pts\n radii = np.full(n, r0)\n x_curr = np.concatenate([centers.flatten(), radii])\n\n # Schedule: Weight, Power, Iterations, RunSurgery\n schedule = [\n (100.0, 2.0, 80, False), # Init\n (1e4, 1.0, 100, True), # Tighten 1\n (50.0, 0.5, 100, False), # Heat (Breathe)\n (500.0, 0.75, 80, False), # Stabilize\n (1e5, 1.0, 120, True), # Tighten 2\n (1e7, 1.0, 200, True) # Polish\n ]\n\n for stage_i, (w, p, it, surgery) in enumerate(schedule):\n # 1.

These recommendations aim to improve the \"plasticity\" of the packing layout and the precision of the topological changes.\n\n1. **Weighted \"Runt-Inflation\" Objective**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to accept an optional weight vector for the radius term ($-\\sum w_i r_i^p$). During the \"Heat\" phase ($p=0.5$) of a move evaluation, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $w=3.0$) to the identified `runt` (smallest circle) while keeping others at $1.0$. This creates a targeted pressure gradient that forces the optimizer to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle, mechanically wedging its neighbors apart to create space rather than expanding all circles uniformly.\n\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Prioritization**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap heuristic to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. Currently, the program swaps with the tightest neighbor. Update this to calculate a \"slack score\" for each neighbor of the runt (sum of gaps to *its* other neighbors). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt but has high slack elsewhere, as this neighbor can absorb the displacement without causing a cascade of new overlaps.\n\n3. **Tri-Phase Tempering Schedule**\n Expand the relaxation loop inside the move evaluation from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage schedule: **Heat ($0.5$) $\\to$ Temper ($0.75$) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$)**. The intermediate $p=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve major overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $p=1.0$ objective snaps the circles to the nearest local maximum. This prevents the rejection of structurally superior but initially high-energy states.\n\n4. **Deterministic \"Radial Jolt\" Recovery**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback (used when no moves are found) with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike incoherent random noise, this coordinated expansion directly opens the specific geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow.\n\n5. **Min-Max \"Rescue\" Acceptance Criteria**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to allow \"Valley Crossing.\" Instead of strictly accepting moves only if the total sum of radii increases, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that block global optimization." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHybrid Pulsing Beam Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Micro-Relaxation Lookahead heuristics.\n\"\"\"\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(4242)\n\n # --- Phase 1: Topology Generation (Equal Circles) ---\n candidates = []\n\n seeds = []\n # 1.

The key innovation is a **Weighted \"Runt-Inflation\" Objective** combined with a **Tri-Phase Tempering Schedule**. This approach mechanically forces the packing to open up space around the smallest circle (\"runt\") by assigning it a higher weight during the high-temperature relaxation phase, effectively wedging its neighbors apart. Additionally, I will refine the \"Jailbreak\" heuristic to prioritize swapping the runt with neighbors that have high \"slack\" (mobility), and introduce a deterministic **Radial Jolt** perturbation to recover from stagnation.\n\nHere are the changes:\n\n\nloss_function_weights\n\n\n\nUpdate `hydro_loss` and `hydro_loss_jac` to accept an optional `r_weights` vector.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of Generation 99's success with high-precision Nelder-Mead void injection and the \"Hydro-Thermal\" patterns, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future program mutations. These recommendations aim to improve the \"plasticity\" of the packing layout and the precision of the topological changes.\n\n1. **Weighted \"Runt-Inflation\" Objective**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to accept an optional weight vector for the radius term ($-\\sum w_i r_i^p$). During the \"Heat\" phase ($p=0.5$) of a move evaluation, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $w=3.0$) to the identified `runt` (smallest circle) while keeping others at $1.0$. This creates a targeted pressure gradient that forces the optimizer to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle, mechanically wedging its neighbors apart to create space rather than expanding all circles uniformly.\n\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Prioritization**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap heuristic to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. Currently, the program swaps with the tightest neighbor. Update this to calculate a \"slack score\" for each neighbor of the runt (sum of gaps to *its* other neighbors). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt but has high slack elsewhere, as this neighbor can absorb the displacement without causing a cascade of new overlaps.\n\n3. **Tri-Phase Tempering Schedule**\n Expand the relaxation loop inside the move evaluation from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage schedule: **Heat ($0.5$) $\\to$ Temper ($0.75$) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$)**. The intermediate $p=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve major overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $p=1.0$ objective snaps the circles to the nearest local maximum. This prevents the rejection of structurally superior but initially high-energy states.\n\n4. **Deterministic \"Radial Jolt\" Recovery**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback (used when no moves are found) with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike incoherent random noise, this coordinated expansion directly opens the specific geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow.\n\n5. **Min-Max \"Rescue\" Acceptance Criteria**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to allow \"Valley Crossing.\" Instead of strictly accepting moves only if the total sum of radii increases, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that block global optimization." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHybrid Pulsing Beam Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Micro-Relaxation Lookahead heuristics.\n\"\"\"\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(4242)\n\n # --- Phase 1: Topology Generation (Equal Circles) ---\n candidates = []\n\n seeds = []\n # 1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries.

Key features include:\n1. **Geometric Void Initialization**: Calculates the exact maximum possible radius for void candidates to warm-start the optimizer, replacing generic estimates.\n2. **Biased Dual-Relaxation**: Evaluates topology changes (Surgery) by first relaxing with `power=0.5` (uniformity) while applying a high weight to the moved circle, then hardening to `power=1.0`. This helps \"runts\" fight for space during relocation.\n3. **Active Constraint Swapping**: Identifies neighbors physically constraining the smallest circles and attempts swaps.\n4. **Hybrid Perturbation**: Alternates between \"Radial Explosion\" (deterministic push) and Gaussian noise, always recovering via a soft `power=0.5` phase to heal the topology before final hardening.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nGraduated Hydro-Thermal Packer (N=26).\nFeatures:\n1.

These recommendations aim to improve the \"plasticity\" of the packing layout and the precision of the topological changes.\n\n1. **Weighted \"Runt-Inflation\" Objective**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to accept an optional weight vector for the radius term ($-\\sum w_i r_i^p$). During the \"Heat\" phase ($p=0.5$) of a move evaluation, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $w=3.0$) to the identified `runt` (smallest circle) while keeping others at $1.0$. This creates a targeted pressure gradient that forces the optimizer to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle, mechanically wedging its neighbors apart to create space rather than expanding all circles uniformly.\n\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Prioritization**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap heuristic to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. Currently, the program swaps with the tightest neighbor. Update this to calculate a \"slack score\" for each neighbor of the runt (sum of gaps to *its* other neighbors). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt but has high slack elsewhere, as this neighbor can absorb the displacement without causing a cascade of new overlaps.\n\n3. **Tri-Phase Tempering Schedule**\n Expand the relaxation loop inside the move evaluation from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage schedule: **Heat ($0.5$) $\\to$ Temper ($0.75$) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$)**. The intermediate $p=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve major overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $p=1.0$ objective snaps the circles to the nearest local maximum. This prevents the rejection of structurally superior but initially high-energy states.\n\n4. **Deterministic \"Radial Jolt\" Recovery**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback (used when no moves are found) with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike incoherent random noise, this coordinated expansion directly opens the specific geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow.\n\n5. **Min-Max \"Rescue\" Acceptance Criteria**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to allow \"Valley Crossing.\" Instead of strictly accepting moves only if the total sum of radii increases, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that block global optimization." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution) | The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution - *Temporarily disabled for error diagnosis*)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs.

This prevents the optimization from getting stuck in local optima where one circle is tightly constrained.\n\nThe \"Radial Jolt\" strategy replaces random noise when no surgical moves are found.

This prevents the optimization from getting stuck in local optima where one circle is tightly constrained.\n\nThe \"Radial Jolt\" strategy replaces random noise when no surgical moves are found.

These recommendations aim to improve the \"plasticity\" of the packing layout and the precision of the topological changes.\n\n1. **Weighted \"Runt-Inflation\" Objective**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to accept an optional weight vector for the radius term ($-\\sum w_i r_i^p$). During the \"Heat\" phase ($p=0.5$) of a move evaluation, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $w=3.0$) to the identified `runt` (smallest circle) while keeping others at $1.0$. This creates a targeted pressure gradient that forces the optimizer to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle, mechanically wedging its neighbors apart to create space rather than expanding all circles uniformly.\n\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Prioritization**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap heuristic to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. Currently, the program swaps with the tightest neighbor. Update this to calculate a \"slack score\" for each neighbor of the runt (sum of gaps to *its* other neighbors). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt but has high slack elsewhere, as this neighbor can absorb the displacement without causing a cascade of new overlaps.\n\n3. **Tri-Phase Tempering Schedule**\n Expand the relaxation loop inside the move evaluation from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage schedule: **Heat ($0.5$) $\\to$ Temper ($0.75$) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$)**. The intermediate $p=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve major overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $p=1.0$ objective snaps the circles to the nearest local maximum. This prevents the rejection of structurally superior but initially high-energy states.\n\n4. **Deterministic \"Radial Jolt\" Recovery**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback (used when no moves are found) with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike incoherent random noise, this coordinated expansion directly opens the specific geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow.\n\n5. **Min-Max \"Rescue\" Acceptance Criteria**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to allow \"Valley Crossing.\" Instead of strictly accepting moves only if the total sum of radii increases, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that block global optimization." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of Generation 99's success with high-precision Nelder-Mead void injection and the \"Hydro-Thermal\" patterns, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future program mutations. These recommendations aim to improve the \"plasticity\" of the packing layout and the precision of the topological changes.\n\n1. **Weighted \"Runt-Inflation\" Objective**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to accept an optional weight vector for the radius term ($-\\sum w_i r_i^p$). During the \"Heat\" phase ($p=0.5$) of a move evaluation, assign a significantly higher weight (e.g., $w=3.0$) to the identified `runt` (smallest circle) while keeping others at $1.0$. This creates a targeted pressure gradient that forces the optimizer to prioritize expanding the bottleneck circle, mechanically wedging its neighbors apart to create space rather than expanding all circles uniformly.\n\n2. **Slack-Based Jailor Prioritization**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" swap heuristic to select targets based on \"mobility\" rather than just tightness. Currently, the program swaps with the tightest neighbor. Update this to calculate a \"slack score\" for each neighbor of the runt (sum of gaps to *its* other neighbors). Prioritize swapping the runt with a neighbor that is tightly constraining the runt but has high slack elsewhere, as this neighbor can absorb the displacement without causing a cascade of new overlaps.\n\n3. **Tri-Phase Tempering Schedule**\n Expand the relaxation loop inside the move evaluation from a binary switch ($0.5 \\to 1.0$) to a three-stage schedule: **Heat ($0.5$) $\\to$ Temper ($0.75$) $\\to$ Cool ($1.0$)**. The intermediate $p=0.75$ stage acts as a \"hardening\" phase, allowing the topology to resolve major overlaps and stabilize the new configuration before the greedy $p=1.0$ objective snaps the circles to the nearest local maximum. This prevents the rejection of structurally superior but initially high-energy states.\n\n4. **Deterministic \"Radial Jolt\" Recovery**\n Replace the random Gaussian noise fallback (used when no moves are found) with a targeted \"Local Earthquake.\" When optimization stalls, identify the $k=5$ nearest neighbors of the `runt` and apply a deterministic displacement vector to them, pushing them radially away from the `runt`'s center by a fixed distance (e.g., $0.01$). Unlike incoherent random noise, this coordinated expansion directly opens the specific geometric void space needed for the `runt` to grow.\n\n5. **Min-Max \"Rescue\" Acceptance Criteria**\n Modify the move acceptance logic to allow \"Valley Crossing.\" Instead of strictly accepting moves only if the total sum of radii increases, accept a move if the smallest radius ($r_{min}$) increases by a significant margin (e.g., $>5\\%$) even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within a tolerance of $1e-4$). This allows the algorithm to sacrifice short-term packing efficiency to repair structural defects (tiny circles) that block global optimization." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nBreathing Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

It replaces the standard optimization steps with a Tri-Phase Tempering schedule (Heat p=0.5 -> Temper p=0.75 -> Cool p=1.0) inside every move evaluation. The \"Heat\" phase uses a biased objective function (\"Weighted Runt Inflation\") that heavily weighs the radius of the target circle (runt), forcing the optimizer to mechanically wedge open space for it. A new \"Slack-Based Jailor\" heuristic identifies swap candidates based on their geometric mobility (slack) rather than just proximity. Finally, a deterministic \"Radial Jolt\" mechanism vectorially pushes neighbors away from a stalled runt to break local jams, replacing random perturbation.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Plasticity Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

It replaces the standard optimization steps with a Tri-Phase Tempering schedule (Heat p=0.5 -> Temper p=0.75 -> Cool p=1.0) inside every move evaluation. The \"Heat\" phase uses a biased objective function (\"Weighted Runt Inflation\") that heavily weighs the radius of the target circle (runt), forcing the optimizer to mechanically wedge open space for it. A new \"Slack-Based Jailor\" heuristic identifies swap candidates based on their geometric mobility (slack) rather than just proximity. Finally, a deterministic \"Radial Jolt\" mechanism vectorially pushes neighbors away from a stalled runt to break local jams, replacing random perturbation.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Plasticity Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

Hybrid arrangements with variable radii.\n2. Better edge/corner utilization.\n3. Careful placement + robust radius assignment.\n4. Iterative local improvements and perturbation heuristics.\n5. Stable numeric checks to avoid invalid overlap/out-of-bound states.\n\nBe creative but prioritize correctness and stable improvements.\n\nCreate a novel algorithm that draws inspiration from the provided context programs but implements a fundamentally different approach.\nStudy the patterns and techniques from the examples, then design something new.\nYou MUST respond using a short summary name, description and the full code:\n\n\nA shortened name summarizing the code you are proposing.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the evaluation of the current best program (Generation 9) and the global insights, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future mutations:\n\n1. **Implement Analytical Gradients for Phase 2 Optimization**\n The current program relies on `L-BFGS-B`'s numerical approximation for the variable-radius loss function, which is computationally expensive and less precise. You should derive and implement the exact Jacobian (gradient) for the objective `-sum(radii)` and the penalty terms (overlap and wall violations). This will provide the solver with precise directionality, leading to faster convergence and deeper local minima in the complex high-dimensional landscape.\n\n2. **Transfer Multiple Topologies (Top-K) to Phase 2**\n Currently, only the single best configuration from the equal-circle optimization (Phase 1) is used as a seed for the variable-radius phase. You should modify the workflow to pass the top 3 to 5 distinct local minima found in Phase 1 into Phase 2. The optimal topology for *equal* circles is not always the optimal starting basin for *variable* circles, and exploring multiple promising candidates increases the probability of finding a global maximum.\n\n3. **Adopt Dynamic Penalty Scheduling (Stiffness)**\n Instead of using a static high penalty weight (e.g., `w=1e5`) throughout the variable-radius optimization, implement a scheduling loop that gradually increases the weight (e.g., $10^2 \\to 10^4 \\to 10^7$). This allows the solver to traverse \"physically invalid\" states (overlapping circles) early in the process to reorganize the layout before strictly enforcing constraints, preventing the system from locking into suboptimal jammed states too early.\n\n4. **Integrate Basin Hopping for Variable Radii**\n Extend the Phase 2 optimization by wrapping the minimization in a \"Basin Hopping\" or \"Iterative Perturbation\" loop. After the solver converges, apply a small random perturbation to the centers and radii and re-minimize. This \"shake-and-relax\" strategy helps the system escape shallow local minima where small circles are trapped in inefficient gaps between larger ones.\n\n5. **Add Corner-Biased Initialization Heuristics**\n Optimal packings in square containers heavily utilize the corners to maximize space efficiency. Enhance the initialization set in Phase 1 by adding heuristic patterns that explicitly place circles deeply into the four corners of the unit square (e.g., at coordinates $(r,r), (1-r,r), \\dots$) before randomly or grid-filling the remaining space. This biases the search towards configurations that exploit the container's geometry more effectively than random or centered-hexagonal starts." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a specific arrangement of 26 circles in a unit square\n that attempts to maximize the sum of their radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n best_centers = None\n best_radii = None\n best_score = -1.0\n\n # Define a list of initial configurations\n # 1.

You should derive and implement the exact Jacobian (gradient) for the objective `-sum(radii)` and the penalty terms (overlap and wall violations). This will provide the solver with precise directionality, leading to faster convergence and deeper local minima in the complex high-dimensional landscape.\n\n2. **Transfer Multiple Topologies (Top-K) to Phase 2**\n Currently, only the single best configuration from the equal-circle optimization (Phase 1) is used as a seed for the variable-radius phase. You should modify the workflow to pass the top 3 to 5 distinct local minima found in Phase 1 into Phase 2. The optimal topology for *equal* circles is not always the optimal starting basin for *variable* circles, and exploring multiple promising candidates increases the probability of finding a global maximum.\n\n3. **Adopt Dynamic Penalty Scheduling (Stiffness)**\n Instead of using a static high penalty weight (e.g., `w=1e5`) throughout the variable-radius optimization, implement a scheduling loop that gradually increases the weight (e.g., $10^2 \\to 10^4 \\to 10^7$). This allows the solver to traverse \"physically invalid\" states (overlapping circles) early in the process to reorganize the layout before strictly enforcing constraints, preventing the system from locking into suboptimal jammed states too early.\n\n4. **Integrate Basin Hopping for Variable Radii**\n Extend the Phase 2 optimization by wrapping the minimization in a \"Basin Hopping\" or \"Iterative Perturbation\" loop. After the solver converges, apply a small random perturbation to the centers and radii and re-minimize. This \"shake-and-relax\" strategy helps the system escape shallow local minima where small circles are trapped in inefficient gaps between larger ones.\n\n5. **Add Corner-Biased Initialization Heuristics**\n Optimal packings in square containers heavily utilize the corners to maximize space efficiency. Enhance the initialization set in Phase 1 by adding heuristic patterns that explicitly place circles deeply into the four corners of the unit square (e.g., at coordinates $(r,r), (1-r,r), \\dots$) before randomly or grid-filling the remaining space. This biases the search towards configurations that exploit the container's geometry more effectively than random or centered-hexagonal starts." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a specific arrangement of 26 circles in a unit square\n that attempts to maximize the sum of their radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n best_centers = None\n best_radii = None\n best_score = -1.0\n\n # Define a list of initial configurations\n # 1.

This phase uses multiple restarts with random initialization to explore different basins of attraction.\nPhase 2 relaxes the equal-radius constraint and treats both centers and radii as optimization variables. It minimizes a differentiable loss function: negative sum of radii plus quadratic penalty terms for overlaps and wall violations. The exact analytical gradient (Jacobian) is implemented to allow efficient use of the L-BFGS-B solver. A stiffness scheduling approach is used, where the penalty weights are iteratively increased (from 1e2 to 1e6) to guide the system from a relaxed state into a valid, tightly packed configuration.\nFinally, a rigorous \"shrink-to-fit\" pass ensures all geometric constraints are satisfied to floating-point precision.\n\n\n\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nTwo-phase optimization for circle packing: \n1.

Hybrid arrangements with variable radii.\n2. Better edge/corner utilization.\n3. Careful placement + robust radius assignment.\n4. Iterative local improvements and perturbation heuristics.\n5. Stable numeric checks to avoid invalid overlap/out-of-bound states.\n\nBe creative but prioritize correctness and stable improvements.\n\nCreate a novel algorithm that draws inspiration from the provided context programs but implements a fundamentally different approach.\nStudy the patterns and techniques from the examples, then design something new.\nYou MUST respond using a short summary name, description and the full code:\n\n\nA shortened name summarizing the code you are proposing.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the evaluation of the current best program (Generation 9) and the global insights, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future mutations:\n\n1. **Implement Analytical Gradients for Phase 2 Optimization**\n The current program relies on `L-BFGS-B`'s numerical approximation for the variable-radius loss function, which is computationally expensive and less precise. You should derive and implement the exact Jacobian (gradient) for the objective `-sum(radii)` and the penalty terms (overlap and wall violations). This will provide the solver with precise directionality, leading to faster convergence and deeper local minima in the complex high-dimensional landscape.\n\n2. **Transfer Multiple Topologies (Top-K) to Phase 2**\n Currently, only the single best configuration from the equal-circle optimization (Phase 1) is used as a seed for the variable-radius phase. You should modify the workflow to pass the top 3 to 5 distinct local minima found in Phase 1 into Phase 2. The optimal topology for *equal* circles is not always the optimal starting basin for *variable* circles, and exploring multiple promising candidates increases the probability of finding a global maximum.\n\n3. **Adopt Dynamic Penalty Scheduling (Stiffness)**\n Instead of using a static high penalty weight (e.g., `w=1e5`) throughout the variable-radius optimization, implement a scheduling loop that gradually increases the weight (e.g., $10^2 \\to 10^4 \\to 10^7$). This allows the solver to traverse \"physically invalid\" states (overlapping circles) early in the process to reorganize the layout before strictly enforcing constraints, preventing the system from locking into suboptimal jammed states too early.\n\n4. **Integrate Basin Hopping for Variable Radii**\n Extend the Phase 2 optimization by wrapping the minimization in a \"Basin Hopping\" or \"Iterative Perturbation\" loop. After the solver converges, apply a small random perturbation to the centers and radii and re-minimize. This \"shake-and-relax\" strategy helps the system escape shallow local minima where small circles are trapped in inefficient gaps between larger ones.\n\n5. **Add Corner-Biased Initialization Heuristics**\n Optimal packings in square containers heavily utilize the corners to maximize space efficiency. Enhance the initialization set in Phase 1 by adding heuristic patterns that explicitly place circles deeply into the four corners of the unit square (e.g., at coordinates $(r,r), (1-r,r), \\dots$) before randomly or grid-filling the remaining space. This biases the search towards configurations that exploit the container's geometry more effectively than random or centered-hexagonal starts." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a specific arrangement of 26 circles in a unit square\n that attempts to maximize the sum of their radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n best_centers = None\n best_radii = None\n best_score = -1.0\n\n # Define a list of initial configurations\n # 1.

This phase uses multiple restarts with random initialization to explore different basins of attraction.\nPhase 2 relaxes the equal-radius constraint and treats both centers and radii as optimization variables. It minimizes a differentiable loss function: negative sum of radii plus quadratic penalty terms for overlaps and wall violations. The exact analytical gradient (Jacobian) is implemented to allow efficient use of the L-BFGS-B solver. A stiffness scheduling approach is used, where the penalty weights are iteratively increased (from 1e2 to 1e6) to guide the system from a relaxed state into a valid, tightly packed configuration.\nFinally, a rigorous \"shrink-to-fit\" pass ensures all geometric constraints are satisfied to floating-point precision.\n\n\n\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nTwo-phase optimization for circle packing: \n1.

It minimizes an inverse-power potential energy ($E = \\sum 1/d^k$) using `L-BFGS-B` with analytical gradients. It employs multiple restarts (random and grid-based) and stiffness scheduling ($k=2 \\to 60$) to avoid local minima and approximate hard spheres.\n\n2. **Variable Radius Relaxation (Phase 2)**: Starting from the best equal-circle topology, it switches to a variable-radius formulation. The loss function is $L = -\\sum r_i + w \\cdot (\\text{penalty})$, where penalty terms quadratically punish overlaps and wall violations.\n * **Analytical Gradients**: The exact Jacobian of the loss function is implemented, allowing the solver to efficiently navigate the high-dimensional landscape ($3N$ variables: $x, y, r$).\n * **Stiffness Scheduling**: The penalty weight $w$ is increased logarithmically ($10 \\to 10^6$) to guide the solution from a relaxed state to a valid packing.\n\n3. **Strict Validation**: A final cleanup step proportionally shrinks any slightly overlapping circles to ensure floating-point precision validity while preserving the relative sizes found by the optimizer.\n\n\n\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nTwo-phase optimization for circle packing: \n1.

These suggestions focus on advanced topological surgery and refining the energy landscape to escape the 2.634 plateau.\n\n1. **Indirect \"Vacancy Chain\" Displacement**\n Extend the void injection logic to perform \"indirect\" relief. Instead of attempting to move only the `runt` to a void, check if any of the runt's **neighbors** can be moved to a high-quality void. Moving a large, constraining neighbor away creates a massive, immediate void directly adjacent to the `runt`, which is often more geometrically effective than trying to squeeze the `runt` itself into a distant gap.\n\n2. **Log-Barrier \"Magma\" Pressure**\n Intensify the \"Heat\" phase by switching the objective for the `runt` from $-r^{0.5}$ to a near-logarithmic potential (e.g., use `power=0.01` or explicitly $-\\ln(r)$). The gradient of $r^{0.5}$ diminishes as the circle grows, but a logarithmic barrier provides sustained, high-magnitude pressure to \"wedge\" the bottleneck circle open, preventing premature stagnation during the relaxation step.\n\n3. **Spatially Masked \"Subspace\" Optimization**\n Modify `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `frozen_mask` during local move evaluations. When optimizing a swap or injection involving the `runt`, freeze the position of circles that are spatially distant (e.g., $> 0.5$ units away). This reduces the dimensionality of the optimization problem, forcing the `L-BFGS-B` solver to focus all its iterational budget on resolving the local conflict rather than making negligible micro-adjustments to the global structure.\n\n4. **Voronoi \"Centroid\" Regularization**\n Insert a geometric regularization step before the LP call in the surgery loop. Apply a single iteration of \"Lloyd\u2019s Algorithm\" logic: nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10% of the distance) towards the centroid of its local Voronoi cell (computed via `scipy.spatial.Voronoi`). This helps center circles within their available gaps, correcting the \"drift\" that occurs when greedy LP maximization pushes circles hard against constraints.\n\n5. **Variance-Based \"Sentinel\" Acceptance**\n Broaden the move acceptance criteria to value \"Structural Homogeneity.\" Allow a move to be accepted even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-3`), provided that the **variance** of the radii distribution decreases significantly (e.g., $>10\\%$). Reducing variance eliminates the \"weak links\" (very small circles) that bottleneck the global expansion, often leading to higher scores in subsequent iterations." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nBreathing Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

This provides infinite gradient pressure near zero and sustained pressure to grow, preventing the runt from getting stuck at a local minimum during the \"heating\" phase.\n3. **Subspace (Masked) Optimization**: Implements a masking mechanism during the intensive relaxation phases. Only circles within a specific radius of the modified region are optimized (variables are unfrozen), while distant circles are held fixed via tight bounds. This reduces the dimensionality of the optimization problem, allowing for faster convergence and preventing globally disruptive drift.\n4. **Variance-Aware Acceptance**: Incorporates a heuristic that accepts moves which slightly decrease the total score if they significantly improve the minimum radius or reduce radius variance, facilitating escape from local optima where one small circle bottlenecks the system.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Chain Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

This provides infinite gradient pressure near zero and sustained pressure to grow, preventing the runt from getting stuck at a local minimum during the \"heating\" phase.\n3. **Subspace (Masked) Optimization**: Implements a masking mechanism during the intensive relaxation phases. Only circles within a specific radius of the modified region are optimized (variables are unfrozen), while distant circles are held fixed via tight bounds. This reduces the dimensionality of the optimization problem, allowing for faster convergence and preventing globally disruptive drift.\n4. **Variance-Aware Acceptance**: Incorporates a heuristic that accepts moves which slightly decrease the total score if they significantly improve the minimum radius or reduce radius variance, facilitating escape from local optima where one small circle bottlenecks the system.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Chain Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

These suggestions focus on advanced topological surgery and refining the energy landscape to escape the 2.634 plateau.\n\n1. **Indirect \"Vacancy Chain\" Displacement**\n Extend the void injection logic to perform \"indirect\" relief. Instead of attempting to move only the `runt` to a void, check if any of the runt's **neighbors** can be moved to a high-quality void. Moving a large, constraining neighbor away creates a massive, immediate void directly adjacent to the `runt`, which is often more geometrically effective than trying to squeeze the `runt` itself into a distant gap.\n\n2. **Log-Barrier \"Magma\" Pressure**\n Intensify the \"Heat\" phase by switching the objective for the `runt` from $-r^{0.5}$ to a near-logarithmic potential (e.g., use `power=0.01` or explicitly $-\\ln(r)$). The gradient of $r^{0.5}$ diminishes as the circle grows, but a logarithmic barrier provides sustained, high-magnitude pressure to \"wedge\" the bottleneck circle open, preventing premature stagnation during the relaxation step.\n\n3. **Spatially Masked \"Subspace\" Optimization**\n Modify `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `frozen_mask` during local move evaluations. When optimizing a swap or injection involving the `runt`, freeze the position of circles that are spatially distant (e.g., $> 0.5$ units away). This reduces the dimensionality of the optimization problem, forcing the `L-BFGS-B` solver to focus all its iterational budget on resolving the local conflict rather than making negligible micro-adjustments to the global structure.\n\n4. **Voronoi \"Centroid\" Regularization**\n Insert a geometric regularization step before the LP call in the surgery loop. Apply a single iteration of \"Lloyd\u2019s Algorithm\" logic: nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10% of the distance) towards the centroid of its local Voronoi cell (computed via `scipy.spatial.Voronoi`). This helps center circles within their available gaps, correcting the \"drift\" that occurs when greedy LP maximization pushes circles hard against constraints.\n\n5. **Variance-Based \"Sentinel\" Acceptance**\n Broaden the move acceptance criteria to value \"Structural Homogeneity.\" Allow a move to be accepted even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-3`), provided that the **variance** of the radii distribution decreases significantly (e.g., $>10\\%$). Reducing variance eliminates the \"weak links\" (very small circles) that bottleneck the global expansion, often leading to higher scores in subsequent iterations." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

These suggestions focus on advanced topological surgery and refining the energy landscape to escape the 2.634 plateau.\n\n1. **Indirect \"Vacancy Chain\" Displacement**\n Extend the void injection logic to perform \"indirect\" relief. Instead of attempting to move only the `runt` to a void, check if any of the runt's **neighbors** can be moved to a high-quality void. Moving a large, constraining neighbor away creates a massive, immediate void directly adjacent to the `runt`, which is often more geometrically effective than trying to squeeze the `runt` itself into a distant gap.\n\n2. **Log-Barrier \"Magma\" Pressure**\n Intensify the \"Heat\" phase by switching the objective for the `runt` from $-r^{0.5}$ to a near-logarithmic potential (e.g., use `power=0.01` or explicitly $-\\ln(r)$). The gradient of $r^{0.5}$ diminishes as the circle grows, but a logarithmic barrier provides sustained, high-magnitude pressure to \"wedge\" the bottleneck circle open, preventing premature stagnation during the relaxation step.\n\n3. **Spatially Masked \"Subspace\" Optimization**\n Modify `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `frozen_mask` during local move evaluations. When optimizing a swap or injection involving the `runt`, freeze the position of circles that are spatially distant (e.g., $> 0.5$ units away). This reduces the dimensionality of the optimization problem, forcing the `L-BFGS-B` solver to focus all its iterational budget on resolving the local conflict rather than making negligible micro-adjustments to the global structure.\n\n4. **Voronoi \"Centroid\" Regularization**\n Insert a geometric regularization step before the LP call in the surgery loop. Apply a single iteration of \"Lloyd\u2019s Algorithm\" logic: nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10% of the distance) towards the centroid of its local Voronoi cell (computed via `scipy.spatial.Voronoi`). This helps center circles within their available gaps, correcting the \"drift\" that occurs when greedy LP maximization pushes circles hard against constraints.\n\n5. **Variance-Based \"Sentinel\" Acceptance**\n Broaden the move acceptance criteria to value \"Structural Homogeneity.\" Allow a move to be accepted even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-3`), provided that the **variance** of the radii distribution decreases significantly (e.g., $>10\\%$). Reducing variance eliminates the \"weak links\" (very small circles) that bottleneck the global expansion, often leading to higher scores in subsequent iterations." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

These suggestions focus on advanced topological surgery and refining the energy landscape to escape the 2.634 plateau.\n\n1. **Indirect \"Vacancy Chain\" Displacement**\n Extend the void injection logic to perform \"indirect\" relief. Instead of attempting to move only the `runt` to a void, check if any of the runt's **neighbors** can be moved to a high-quality void. Moving a large, constraining neighbor away creates a massive, immediate void directly adjacent to the `runt`, which is often more geometrically effective than trying to squeeze the `runt` itself into a distant gap.\n\n2. **Log-Barrier \"Magma\" Pressure**\n Intensify the \"Heat\" phase by switching the objective for the `runt` from $-r^{0.5}$ to a near-logarithmic potential (e.g., use `power=0.01` or explicitly $-\\ln(r)$). The gradient of $r^{0.5}$ diminishes as the circle grows, but a logarithmic barrier provides sustained, high-magnitude pressure to \"wedge\" the bottleneck circle open, preventing premature stagnation during the relaxation step.\n\n3. **Spatially Masked \"Subspace\" Optimization**\n Modify `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `frozen_mask` during local move evaluations. When optimizing a swap or injection involving the `runt`, freeze the position of circles that are spatially distant (e.g., $> 0.5$ units away). This reduces the dimensionality of the optimization problem, forcing the `L-BFGS-B` solver to focus all its iterational budget on resolving the local conflict rather than making negligible micro-adjustments to the global structure.\n\n4. **Voronoi \"Centroid\" Regularization**\n Insert a geometric regularization step before the LP call in the surgery loop. Apply a single iteration of \"Lloyd\u2019s Algorithm\" logic: nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10% of the distance) towards the centroid of its local Voronoi cell (computed via `scipy.spatial.Voronoi`). This helps center circles within their available gaps, correcting the \"drift\" that occurs when greedy LP maximization pushes circles hard against constraints.\n\n5. **Variance-Based \"Sentinel\" Acceptance**\n Broaden the move acceptance criteria to value \"Structural Homogeneity.\" Allow a move to be accepted even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-3`), provided that the **variance** of the radii distribution decreases significantly (e.g., $>10\\%$). Reducing variance eliminates the \"weak links\" (very small circles) that bottleneck the global expansion, often leading to higher scores in subsequent iterations." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

This exerts significantly higher pressure to wedge open the bottleneck.\n2. **Variance-Based Acceptance**: Introduce a criterion to accept moves that reduce the standard deviation of radii by >5%, even if the total score drops slightly.

The best known result for the sum of radii\nwhen packing 26 circles in a unit square is around 2.635.\n\nYour objective:\n- Maximize sum of radii for 26 non-overlapping circles in [0,1] x [0,1].\n\nHard constraints:\n- All circles must be disjoint.\n- All circles must lie fully inside the unit square.\n- Return valid output in the evaluator contract.\n\nUseful directions:\n1. Hybrid arrangements with variable radii.\n2. Better edge/corner utilization.\n3. Careful placement + robust radius assignment.\n4. Iterative local improvements and perturbation heuristics.\n5. Stable numeric checks to avoid invalid overlap/out-of-bound states.\n\nBe creative but prioritize correctness and stable improvements.\n\nDesign a completely different algorithm approach to solve the same problem.\nIgnore the current implementation and think of alternative algorithmic strategies that could achieve better performance.\nYou MUST respond using a short summary name, description and the full code:\n\n\nA shortened name summarizing the code you are proposing.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the success of **Generation 133**, which effectively implemented previous recommendations like \"Hydro-Thermal\" scheduling and \"Slack-Aware\" swaps, here are 5 actionable recommendations to further optimize the packing. These suggestions focus on advanced topological surgery and refining the energy landscape to escape the 2.634 plateau.\n\n1. **Indirect \"Vacancy Chain\" Displacement**\n Extend the void injection logic to perform \"indirect\" relief. Instead of attempting to move only the `runt` to a void, check if any of the runt's **neighbors** can be moved to a high-quality void. Moving a large, constraining neighbor away creates a massive, immediate void directly adjacent to the `runt`, which is often more geometrically effective than trying to squeeze the `runt` itself into a distant gap.\n\n2. **Log-Barrier \"Magma\" Pressure**\n Intensify the \"Heat\" phase by switching the objective for the `runt` from $-r^{0.5}$ to a near-logarithmic potential (e.g., use `power=0.01` or explicitly $-\\ln(r)$). The gradient of $r^{0.5}$ diminishes as the circle grows, but a logarithmic barrier provides sustained, high-magnitude pressure to \"wedge\" the bottleneck circle open, preventing premature stagnation during the relaxation step.\n\n3. **Spatially Masked \"Subspace\" Optimization**\n Modify `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `frozen_mask` during local move evaluations. When optimizing a swap or injection involving the `runt`, freeze the position of circles that are spatially distant (e.g., $> 0.5$ units away). This reduces the dimensionality of the optimization problem, forcing the `L-BFGS-B` solver to focus all its iterational budget on resolving the local conflict rather than making negligible micro-adjustments to the global structure.\n\n4. **Voronoi \"Centroid\" Regularization**\n Insert a geometric regularization step before the LP call in the surgery loop. Apply a single iteration of \"Lloyd\u2019s Algorithm\" logic: nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10% of the distance) towards the centroid of its local Voronoi cell (computed via `scipy.spatial.Voronoi`). This helps center circles within their available gaps, correcting the \"drift\" that occurs when greedy LP maximization pushes circles hard against constraints.\n\n5. **Variance-Based \"Sentinel\" Acceptance**\n Broaden the move acceptance criteria to value \"Structural Homogeneity.\" Allow a move to be accepted even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-3`), provided that the **variance** of the radii distribution decreases significantly (e.g., $>10\\%$). Reducing variance eliminates the \"weak links\" (very small circles) that bottleneck the global expansion, often leading to higher scores in subsequent iterations." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity - *Temporarily disabled for error diagnosis*)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution) | The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution - *Temporarily disabled for error diagnosis*)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_metric_error_message**: Provides the actual error message if metric calculation fails. (Diagnostic)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries.

These suggestions focus on advanced topological surgery and refining the energy landscape to escape the 2.634 plateau.\n\n1. **Indirect \"Vacancy Chain\" Displacement**\n Extend the void injection logic to perform \"indirect\" relief. Instead of attempting to move only the `runt` to a void, check if any of the runt's **neighbors** can be moved to a high-quality void. Moving a large, constraining neighbor away creates a massive, immediate void directly adjacent to the `runt`, which is often more geometrically effective than trying to squeeze the `runt` itself into a distant gap.\n\n2. **Log-Barrier \"Magma\" Pressure**\n Intensify the \"Heat\" phase by switching the objective for the `runt` from $-r^{0.5}$ to a near-logarithmic potential (e.g., use `power=0.01` or explicitly $-\\ln(r)$). The gradient of $r^{0.5}$ diminishes as the circle grows, but a logarithmic barrier provides sustained, high-magnitude pressure to \"wedge\" the bottleneck circle open, preventing premature stagnation during the relaxation step.\n\n3. **Spatially Masked \"Subspace\" Optimization**\n Modify `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `frozen_mask` during local move evaluations. When optimizing a swap or injection involving the `runt`, freeze the position of circles that are spatially distant (e.g., $> 0.5$ units away). This reduces the dimensionality of the optimization problem, forcing the `L-BFGS-B` solver to focus all its iterational budget on resolving the local conflict rather than making negligible micro-adjustments to the global structure.\n\n4. **Voronoi \"Centroid\" Regularization**\n Insert a geometric regularization step before the LP call in the surgery loop. Apply a single iteration of \"Lloyd\u2019s Algorithm\" logic: nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10% of the distance) towards the centroid of its local Voronoi cell (computed via `scipy.spatial.Voronoi`). This helps center circles within their available gaps, correcting the \"drift\" that occurs when greedy LP maximization pushes circles hard against constraints.\n\n5. **Variance-Based \"Sentinel\" Acceptance**\n Broaden the move acceptance criteria to value \"Structural Homogeneity.\" Allow a move to be accepted even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-3`), provided that the **variance** of the radii distribution decreases significantly (e.g., $>10\\%$). Reducing variance eliminates the \"weak links\" (very small circles) that bottleneck the global expansion, often leading to higher scores in subsequent iterations." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

These suggestions focus on advanced topological surgery and refining the energy landscape to escape the 2.634 plateau.\n\n1. **Indirect \"Vacancy Chain\" Displacement**\n Extend the void injection logic to perform \"indirect\" relief. Instead of attempting to move only the `runt` to a void, check if any of the runt's **neighbors** can be moved to a high-quality void. Moving a large, constraining neighbor away creates a massive, immediate void directly adjacent to the `runt`, which is often more geometrically effective than trying to squeeze the `runt` itself into a distant gap.\n\n2. **Log-Barrier \"Magma\" Pressure**\n Intensify the \"Heat\" phase by switching the objective for the `runt` from $-r^{0.5}$ to a near-logarithmic potential (e.g., use `power=0.01` or explicitly $-\\ln(r)$). The gradient of $r^{0.5}$ diminishes as the circle grows, but a logarithmic barrier provides sustained, high-magnitude pressure to \"wedge\" the bottleneck circle open, preventing premature stagnation during the relaxation step.\n\n3. **Spatially Masked \"Subspace\" Optimization**\n Modify `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `frozen_mask` during local move evaluations. When optimizing a swap or injection involving the `runt`, freeze the position of circles that are spatially distant (e.g., $> 0.5$ units away). This reduces the dimensionality of the optimization problem, forcing the `L-BFGS-B` solver to focus all its iterational budget on resolving the local conflict rather than making negligible micro-adjustments to the global structure.\n\n4. **Voronoi \"Centroid\" Regularization**\n Insert a geometric regularization step before the LP call in the surgery loop. Apply a single iteration of \"Lloyd\u2019s Algorithm\" logic: nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10% of the distance) towards the centroid of its local Voronoi cell (computed via `scipy.spatial.Voronoi`). This helps center circles within their available gaps, correcting the \"drift\" that occurs when greedy LP maximization pushes circles hard against constraints.\n\n5. **Variance-Based \"Sentinel\" Acceptance**\n Broaden the move acceptance criteria to value \"Structural Homogeneity.\" Allow a move to be accepted even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-3`), provided that the **variance** of the radii distribution decreases significantly (e.g., $>10\\%$). Reducing variance eliminates the \"weak links\" (very small circles) that bottleneck the global expansion, often leading to higher scores in subsequent iterations." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nBreathing Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

These suggestions focus on advanced topological surgery and refining the energy landscape to escape the 2.634 plateau.\n\n1. **Indirect \"Vacancy Chain\" Displacement**\n Extend the void injection logic to perform \"indirect\" relief. Instead of attempting to move only the `runt` to a void, check if any of the runt's **neighbors** can be moved to a high-quality void. Moving a large, constraining neighbor away creates a massive, immediate void directly adjacent to the `runt`, which is often more geometrically effective than trying to squeeze the `runt` itself into a distant gap.\n\n2. **Log-Barrier \"Magma\" Pressure**\n Intensify the \"Heat\" phase by switching the objective for the `runt` from $-r^{0.5}$ to a near-logarithmic potential (e.g., use `power=0.01` or explicitly $-\\ln(r)$). The gradient of $r^{0.5}$ diminishes as the circle grows, but a logarithmic barrier provides sustained, high-magnitude pressure to \"wedge\" the bottleneck circle open, preventing premature stagnation during the relaxation step.\n\n3. **Spatially Masked \"Subspace\" Optimization**\n Modify `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `frozen_mask` during local move evaluations. When optimizing a swap or injection involving the `runt`, freeze the position of circles that are spatially distant (e.g., $> 0.5$ units away). This reduces the dimensionality of the optimization problem, forcing the `L-BFGS-B` solver to focus all its iterational budget on resolving the local conflict rather than making negligible micro-adjustments to the global structure.\n\n4. **Voronoi \"Centroid\" Regularization**\n Insert a geometric regularization step before the LP call in the surgery loop. Apply a single iteration of \"Lloyd\u2019s Algorithm\" logic: nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10% of the distance) towards the centroid of its local Voronoi cell (computed via `scipy.spatial.Voronoi`). This helps center circles within their available gaps, correcting the \"drift\" that occurs when greedy LP maximization pushes circles hard against constraints.\n\n5. **Variance-Based \"Sentinel\" Acceptance**\n Broaden the move acceptance criteria to value \"Structural Homogeneity.\" Allow a move to be accepted even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-3`), provided that the **variance** of the radii distribution decreases significantly (e.g., $>10\\%$). Reducing variance eliminates the \"weak links\" (very small circles) that bottleneck the global expansion, often leading to higher scores in subsequent iterations." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nBreathing Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

This allows the optimization to prioritize the expansion of specific circles (e.g., runts) during topological surgery.\n2. **Neighbor Eviction Strategy**: Introduce a new topological surgery move called \"Neighbor Eviction\" (Indirect Vacancy). Instead of only trying to move the bottleneck circle (\"runt\") to a void, this strategy identifies the runt's constraining neighbors and attempts to move *them* to voids. This creates a large, high-quality vacancy directly adjacent to the runt.\n3. **Weighted Expansion**: When a neighbor is evicted or the runt is moved, apply significant weight (3.0x - 4.0x) to the runt in the subsequent relaxation phase. This acts as a \"Magma Pressure\" heuristic, forcing the runt to rapidly expand into the newly created space before other circles can encroach.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef loss_variable_radii(params, w, power=1.0):\n n = len(params) // 3\n centers = params[:2*n].reshape(n, 2)\n radii = params[2*n:]\n\n obj = -np.sum(radii**power)\n\n vl = np.maximum(0, radii - centers[:, 0])\n=======\ndef loss_variable_radii(params, w, power=1.0, weights=None):\n n = len(params) // 3\n centers = params[:2*n].reshape(n, 2)\n radii = params[2*n:]\n\n if weights is None:\n obj = -np.sum(radii**power)\n else:\n obj = -np.sum(weights * (radii**power))\n\n vl = np.maximum(0, radii - centers[:, 0])\n>>>>>>> REPLACE\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef loss_variable_radii_jac(params, w, power=1.0):\n n = len(params) // 3\n centers = params[:2*n].reshape(n, 2)\n radii = params[2*n:]\n\n grad_c = np.zeros_like(centers)\n grad_r = -power * (radii**(power-1))\n\n # Walls\n=======\ndef loss_variable_radii_jac(params, w, power=1.0, weights=None):\n n = len(params) // 3\n centers = params[:2*n].reshape(n, 2)\n radii = params[2*n:]\n\n grad_c = np.zeros_like(centers)\n if weights is None:\n grad_r = -power * (radii**(power-1))\n else:\n grad_r = -weights * power * (radii**(power-1))\n\n # Walls\n>>>>>>> REPLACE\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\n for _ in range(max_improv_steps):\n \n # A.

You should derive and implement the exact Jacobian (gradient) for the objective `-sum(radii)` and the penalty terms (overlap and wall violations). This will provide the solver with precise directionality, leading to faster convergence and deeper local minima in the complex high-dimensional landscape.\n\n2. **Transfer Multiple Topologies (Top-K) to Phase 2**\n Currently, only the single best configuration from the equal-circle optimization (Phase 1) is used as a seed for the variable-radius phase. You should modify the workflow to pass the top 3 to 5 distinct local minima found in Phase 1 into Phase 2. The optimal topology for *equal* circles is not always the optimal starting basin for *variable* circles, and exploring multiple promising candidates increases the probability of finding a global maximum.\n\n3. **Adopt Dynamic Penalty Scheduling (Stiffness)**\n Instead of using a static high penalty weight (e.g., `w=1e5`) throughout the variable-radius optimization, implement a scheduling loop that gradually increases the weight (e.g., $10^2 \\to 10^4 \\to 10^7$). This allows the solver to traverse \"physically invalid\" states (overlapping circles) early in the process to reorganize the layout before strictly enforcing constraints, preventing the system from locking into suboptimal jammed states too early.\n\n4. **Integrate Basin Hopping for Variable Radii**\n Extend the Phase 2 optimization by wrapping the minimization in a \"Basin Hopping\" or \"Iterative Perturbation\" loop. After the solver converges, apply a small random perturbation to the centers and radii and re-minimize. This \"shake-and-relax\" strategy helps the system escape shallow local minima where small circles are trapped in inefficient gaps between larger ones.\n\n5. **Add Corner-Biased Initialization Heuristics**\n Optimal packings in square containers heavily utilize the corners to maximize space efficiency. Enhance the initialization set in Phase 1 by adding heuristic patterns that explicitly place circles deeply into the four corners of the unit square (e.g., at coordinates $(r,r), (1-r,r), \\dots$) before randomly or grid-filling the remaining space. This biases the search towards configurations that exploit the container's geometry more effectively than random or centered-hexagonal starts." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

These recommendations focus on refining the \"Heat\" phase to force plasticity in jammed configurations and exploiting the geometric \"slack\" identified in the best program.\n\n1. **Hybrid \"Magma\" Potential for Runt**\n Modify the `run_hydro_stage` objective function to allow a hybrid potential. Specifically, for the designated `runt` (smallest circle), replace the standard $r^{0.5}$ term with a logarithmic potential $-\\ln(r)$ (or effectively $r^{0.01}$) during the \"Heat\" phase. While the $r^{0.5}$ schedule (Hydro-Thermal) works well for global coordination, the `runt` requires the infinite gradient of a logarithmic barrier at $r \\to 0$ to forcefully \"wedge\" apart its neighbors, creating plastic deformation that the finite gradient of $r^{0.5}$ cannot achieve in tight jams.\n\n2. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" Relaxation**\n Insert a \"Centering\" regularization step immediately before the LP call in the surgery loop. Compute the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10% of the distance) towards the **centroid** of its Voronoi cell (Lloyd\u2019s Algorithm). This operation redistributes the available \"slack\" (rattle space) evenly around circles rather than leaving them jammed against constraints, significantly increasing the probability that subsequent topological swaps will find valid geometric paths.\n\n3. **Elastic Boundary \"Tunneling\"**\n Introduce a `wall_margin` parameter to the `hydro_loss` function. During the high-temperature \"Heat\" phase (and only then), allow the boundary constraints to relax effectively to `[-0.01, 1.01]` (a negative margin). This \"soft wall\" approach allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass each other\u2014resolving the boundary friction that currently locks corner configurations\u2014before being strictly enforced back inside the unit square during the \"Cool\" phase.\n\n4. **Vectorized \"Jailor\" Displacement**\n Extend the successful \"Slack-Based\" heuristic. Currently, the program calculates scalar slack to select a swap candidate. Add a new move type: **\"Jailor Shove\"**. Identify the *direction* of the jailor's largest gap (the vector to the neighbor with the most slack) and explicitly nudge the jailor in that direction by a fixed step size. This proactively utilizes the calculated slack to clear physical space for the runt, rather than relying solely on the optimizer to drift the jailor into that space.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the move acceptance criteria in the lookahead loop to value structural homogeneity. Permit a move to be accepted even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-4`), provided that the **variance** of the radii distribution decreases by a significant threshold (e.g., $>15\\%$). Reducing variance eliminates structural bottlenecks (very small circles adjacent to very large ones), smoothing the energy landscape for subsequent global optimization steps." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

These recommendations focus on refining the \"Heat\" phase to force plasticity in jammed configurations and exploiting the geometric \"slack\" identified in the best program.\n\n1. **Hybrid \"Magma\" Potential for Runt**\n Modify the `run_hydro_stage` objective function to allow a hybrid potential. Specifically, for the designated `runt` (smallest circle), replace the standard $r^{0.5}$ term with a logarithmic potential $-\\ln(r)$ (or effectively $r^{0.01}$) during the \"Heat\" phase. While the $r^{0.5}$ schedule (Hydro-Thermal) works well for global coordination, the `runt` requires the infinite gradient of a logarithmic barrier at $r \\to 0$ to forcefully \"wedge\" apart its neighbors, creating plastic deformation that the finite gradient of $r^{0.5}$ cannot achieve in tight jams.\n\n2. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" Relaxation**\n Insert a \"Centering\" regularization step immediately before the LP call in the surgery loop. Compute the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10% of the distance) towards the **centroid** of its Voronoi cell (Lloyd\u2019s Algorithm). This operation redistributes the available \"slack\" (rattle space) evenly around circles rather than leaving them jammed against constraints, significantly increasing the probability that subsequent topological swaps will find valid geometric paths.\n\n3. **Elastic Boundary \"Tunneling\"**\n Introduce a `wall_margin` parameter to the `hydro_loss` function. During the high-temperature \"Heat\" phase (and only then), allow the boundary constraints to relax effectively to `[-0.01, 1.01]` (a negative margin). This \"soft wall\" approach allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass each other\u2014resolving the boundary friction that currently locks corner configurations\u2014before being strictly enforced back inside the unit square during the \"Cool\" phase.\n\n4. **Vectorized \"Jailor\" Displacement**\n Extend the successful \"Slack-Based\" heuristic. Currently, the program calculates scalar slack to select a swap candidate. Add a new move type: **\"Jailor Shove\"**. Identify the *direction* of the jailor's largest gap (the vector to the neighbor with the most slack) and explicitly nudge the jailor in that direction by a fixed step size. This proactively utilizes the calculated slack to clear physical space for the runt, rather than relying solely on the optimizer to drift the jailor into that space.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the move acceptance criteria in the lookahead loop to value structural homogeneity. Permit a move to be accepted even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-4`), provided that the **variance** of the radii distribution decreases by a significant threshold (e.g., $>15\\%$). Reducing variance eliminates structural bottlenecks (very small circles adjacent to very large ones), smoothing the energy landscape for subsequent global optimization steps." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of **Generation 133** (Current Best) and the failure modes of recent generations, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future mutations. These recommendations focus on refining the \"Heat\" phase to force plasticity in jammed configurations and exploiting the geometric \"slack\" identified in the best program.\n\n1. **Hybrid \"Magma\" Potential for Runt**\n Modify the `run_hydro_stage` objective function to allow a hybrid potential. Specifically, for the designated `runt` (smallest circle), replace the standard $r^{0.5}$ term with a logarithmic potential $-\\ln(r)$ (or effectively $r^{0.01}$) during the \"Heat\" phase. While the $r^{0.5}$ schedule (Hydro-Thermal) works well for global coordination, the `runt` requires the infinite gradient of a logarithmic barrier at $r \\to 0$ to forcefully \"wedge\" apart its neighbors, creating plastic deformation that the finite gradient of $r^{0.5}$ cannot achieve in tight jams.\n\n2. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" Relaxation**\n Insert a \"Centering\" regularization step immediately before the LP call in the surgery loop. Compute the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10% of the distance) towards the **centroid** of its Voronoi cell (Lloyd\u2019s Algorithm). This operation redistributes the available \"slack\" (rattle space) evenly around circles rather than leaving them jammed against constraints, significantly increasing the probability that subsequent topological swaps will find valid geometric paths.\n\n3. **Elastic Boundary \"Tunneling\"**\n Introduce a `wall_margin` parameter to the `hydro_loss` function. During the high-temperature \"Heat\" phase (and only then), allow the boundary constraints to relax effectively to `[-0.01, 1.01]` (a negative margin). This \"soft wall\" approach allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass each other\u2014resolving the boundary friction that currently locks corner configurations\u2014before being strictly enforced back inside the unit square during the \"Cool\" phase.\n\n4. **Vectorized \"Jailor\" Displacement**\n Extend the successful \"Slack-Based\" heuristic. Currently, the program calculates scalar slack to select a swap candidate. Add a new move type: **\"Jailor Shove\"**. Identify the *direction* of the jailor's largest gap (the vector to the neighbor with the most slack) and explicitly nudge the jailor in that direction by a fixed step size. This proactively utilizes the calculated slack to clear physical space for the runt, rather than relying solely on the optimizer to drift the jailor into that space.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the move acceptance criteria in the lookahead loop to value structural homogeneity. Permit a move to be accepted even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-4`), provided that the **variance** of the radii distribution decreases by a significant threshold (e.g., $>15\\%$). Reducing variance eliminates structural bottlenecks (very small circles adjacent to very large ones), smoothing the energy landscape for subsequent global optimization steps." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity - *Temporarily disabled for error diagnosis*)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution) | The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution - *Temporarily disabled for error diagnosis*)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_metric_error_message**: Provides the actual error message if metric calculation fails. (Diagnostic)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries.

Key features include:\n1. **Magma Potential**: A hybrid objective function where the bottleneck circle (\"runt\") is subjected to a log-like potential (power=0.02) while others use a standard potential (power=0.5). This generates extreme local pressure to expand the runt, simulating a magma intrusion.\n2. **Elastic Walls**: During the high-temperature \"Heat\" phase, the boundary constraints are relaxed by a margin (0.01). This allows circles to momentarily \"tunnel\" through the walls to resolve corner jams, preventing local minima where circles are locked against the boundary.\n3. **Vectorized Jailor Shove**: A new topological move that explicitly calculates the vector from the runt to its constraining neighbor (\"jailor\") and pushes the jailor away, utilizing available slack more aggressively than random swaps.\n4. **Slack-Based Prioritization**: Prioritizes swaps and shoves based on the calculated mobility (slack) of neighbors.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma-Elastic Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

This generates extreme local pressure to expand the runt, simulating a magma intrusion.\n2. **Elastic Walls**: During the high-temperature \"Heat\" phase, the boundary constraints are relaxed by a margin (0.01). This allows circles to momentarily \"tunnel\" through the walls to resolve corner jams, preventing local minima where circles are locked against the boundary.\n3. **Vectorized Jailor Shove**: A new topological move that explicitly calculates the vector from the runt to its constraining neighbor (\"jailor\") and pushes the jailor away, utilizing available slack more aggressively than random swaps.\n4. **Slack-Based Prioritization**: Prioritizes swaps and shoves based on the calculated mobility (slack) of neighbors.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma-Elastic Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

These recommendations focus on refining the \"Heat\" phase to force plasticity in jammed configurations and exploiting the geometric \"slack\" identified in the best program.\n\n1. **Hybrid \"Magma\" Potential for Runt**\n Modify the `run_hydro_stage` objective function to allow a hybrid potential. Specifically, for the designated `runt` (smallest circle), replace the standard $r^{0.5}$ term with a logarithmic potential $-\\ln(r)$ (or effectively $r^{0.01}$) during the \"Heat\" phase. While the $r^{0.5}$ schedule (Hydro-Thermal) works well for global coordination, the `runt` requires the infinite gradient of a logarithmic barrier at $r \\to 0$ to forcefully \"wedge\" apart its neighbors, creating plastic deformation that the finite gradient of $r^{0.5}$ cannot achieve in tight jams.\n\n2. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" Relaxation**\n Insert a \"Centering\" regularization step immediately before the LP call in the surgery loop. Compute the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10% of the distance) towards the **centroid** of its Voronoi cell (Lloyd\u2019s Algorithm). This operation redistributes the available \"slack\" (rattle space) evenly around circles rather than leaving them jammed against constraints, significantly increasing the probability that subsequent topological swaps will find valid geometric paths.\n\n3. **Elastic Boundary \"Tunneling\"**\n Introduce a `wall_margin` parameter to the `hydro_loss` function. During the high-temperature \"Heat\" phase (and only then), allow the boundary constraints to relax effectively to `[-0.01, 1.01]` (a negative margin). This \"soft wall\" approach allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass each other\u2014resolving the boundary friction that currently locks corner configurations\u2014before being strictly enforced back inside the unit square during the \"Cool\" phase.\n\n4. **Vectorized \"Jailor\" Displacement**\n Extend the successful \"Slack-Based\" heuristic. Currently, the program calculates scalar slack to select a swap candidate. Add a new move type: **\"Jailor Shove\"**. Identify the *direction* of the jailor's largest gap (the vector to the neighbor with the most slack) and explicitly nudge the jailor in that direction by a fixed step size. This proactively utilizes the calculated slack to clear physical space for the runt, rather than relying solely on the optimizer to drift the jailor into that space.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the move acceptance criteria in the lookahead loop to value structural homogeneity. Permit a move to be accepted even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-4`), provided that the **variance** of the radii distribution decreases by a significant threshold (e.g., $>15\\%$). Reducing variance eliminates structural bottlenecks (very small circles adjacent to very large ones), smoothing the energy landscape for subsequent global optimization steps." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nBreathing Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs. (Constraint Tension)\n" + }, + { + "role": "assistant", + "content": "\nmagma_elastic_packer\n\n\n\nImplements a \"Magma-Elastic\" packing strategy for 26 circles. \n1. **Elastic Boundaries:** Introduces a `wall_margin` parameter to the loss function. Negative margins (e.g., -0.02) during \"breathing\" phases allow circles to temporarily overlap the boundary, resolving corner jamming by letting circles slide past each other via the \"outside\".\n2. **Magma Potential:** Implements a variable-power objective. During topological surgery, the \"runt\" (smallest circle) is assigned a near-logarithmic potential ($p=0.02$) while neighbors keep $p=1.0$. This creates an infinite gradient at $r \\to 0$, acting like expanding magma to forcibly wedge open space in jammed configurations.\n3. **Jailor Slide Heuristic:** Identifies the neighbor most constraining the runt (\"jailor\") and explicitly creates a candidate move where the jailor is displaced vectorially towards its own largest slack, proactively clearing space.\n4. **Variance-Aware Acceptance:** In the lookahead evaluation, moves that improve radius uniformity (lower variance) are accepted even if the global score drops slightly, preventing the algorithm from getting stuck in high-variance local optima.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Elastic Packer (N=26).\nFeatures:\n1. Elastic Boundaries: Temporary expansion of valid domain to facilitate corner/edge circulation.\n2. Magma Potential: targeted low-power (p=0.02) potential for runts to force local plastic deformation.\n3. Jailor Sliding: Vectorized displacement of constraining neighbors into their local slack.\n4.

Negative margins (e.g., -0.02) during \"breathing\" phases allow circles to temporarily overlap the boundary, resolving corner jamming by letting circles slide past each other via the \"outside\".\n2. **Magma Potential:** Implements a variable-power objective. During topological surgery, the \"runt\" (smallest circle) is assigned a near-logarithmic potential ($p=0.02$) while neighbors keep $p=1.0$. This creates an infinite gradient at $r \\to 0$, acting like expanding magma to forcibly wedge open space in jammed configurations.\n3. **Jailor Slide Heuristic:** Identifies the neighbor most constraining the runt (\"jailor\") and explicitly creates a candidate move where the jailor is displaced vectorially towards its own largest slack, proactively clearing space.\n4. **Variance-Aware Acceptance:** In the lookahead evaluation, moves that improve radius uniformity (lower variance) are accepted even if the global score drops slightly, preventing the algorithm from getting stuck in high-variance local optima.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Elastic Packer (N=26).\nFeatures:\n1.

These recommendations focus on refining the \"Heat\" phase to force plasticity in jammed configurations and exploiting the geometric \"slack\" identified in the best program.\n\n1. **Hybrid \"Magma\" Potential for Runt**\n Modify the `run_hydro_stage` objective function to allow a hybrid potential. Specifically, for the designated `runt` (smallest circle), replace the standard $r^{0.5}$ term with a logarithmic potential $-\\ln(r)$ (or effectively $r^{0.01}$) during the \"Heat\" phase. While the $r^{0.5}$ schedule (Hydro-Thermal) works well for global coordination, the `runt` requires the infinite gradient of a logarithmic barrier at $r \\to 0$ to forcefully \"wedge\" apart its neighbors, creating plastic deformation that the finite gradient of $r^{0.5}$ cannot achieve in tight jams.\n\n2. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" Relaxation**\n Insert a \"Centering\" regularization step immediately before the LP call in the surgery loop. Compute the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10% of the distance) towards the **centroid** of its Voronoi cell (Lloyd\u2019s Algorithm). This operation redistributes the available \"slack\" (rattle space) evenly around circles rather than leaving them jammed against constraints, significantly increasing the probability that subsequent topological swaps will find valid geometric paths.\n\n3. **Elastic Boundary \"Tunneling\"**\n Introduce a `wall_margin` parameter to the `hydro_loss` function. During the high-temperature \"Heat\" phase (and only then), allow the boundary constraints to relax effectively to `[-0.01, 1.01]` (a negative margin). This \"soft wall\" approach allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass each other\u2014resolving the boundary friction that currently locks corner configurations\u2014before being strictly enforced back inside the unit square during the \"Cool\" phase.\n\n4. **Vectorized \"Jailor\" Displacement**\n Extend the successful \"Slack-Based\" heuristic. Currently, the program calculates scalar slack to select a swap candidate. Add a new move type: **\"Jailor Shove\"**. Identify the *direction* of the jailor's largest gap (the vector to the neighbor with the most slack) and explicitly nudge the jailor in that direction by a fixed step size. This proactively utilizes the calculated slack to clear physical space for the runt, rather than relying solely on the optimizer to drift the jailor into that space.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the move acceptance criteria in the lookahead loop to value structural homogeneity. Permit a move to be accepted even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-4`), provided that the **variance** of the radii distribution decreases by a significant threshold (e.g., $>15\\%$). Reducing variance eliminates structural bottlenecks (very small circles adjacent to very large ones), smoothing the energy landscape for subsequent global optimization steps." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nBreathing Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

These recommendations focus on refining the \"Heat\" phase to force plasticity in jammed configurations and exploiting the geometric \"slack\" identified in the best program.\n\n1. **Hybrid \"Magma\" Potential for Runt**\n Modify the `run_hydro_stage` objective function to allow a hybrid potential. Specifically, for the designated `runt` (smallest circle), replace the standard $r^{0.5}$ term with a logarithmic potential $-\\ln(r)$ (or effectively $r^{0.01}$) during the \"Heat\" phase. While the $r^{0.5}$ schedule (Hydro-Thermal) works well for global coordination, the `runt` requires the infinite gradient of a logarithmic barrier at $r \\to 0$ to forcefully \"wedge\" apart its neighbors, creating plastic deformation that the finite gradient of $r^{0.5}$ cannot achieve in tight jams.\n\n2. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" Relaxation**\n Insert a \"Centering\" regularization step immediately before the LP call in the surgery loop. Compute the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10% of the distance) towards the **centroid** of its Voronoi cell (Lloyd\u2019s Algorithm). This operation redistributes the available \"slack\" (rattle space) evenly around circles rather than leaving them jammed against constraints, significantly increasing the probability that subsequent topological swaps will find valid geometric paths.\n\n3. **Elastic Boundary \"Tunneling\"**\n Introduce a `wall_margin` parameter to the `hydro_loss` function. During the high-temperature \"Heat\" phase (and only then), allow the boundary constraints to relax effectively to `[-0.01, 1.01]` (a negative margin). This \"soft wall\" approach allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass each other\u2014resolving the boundary friction that currently locks corner configurations\u2014before being strictly enforced back inside the unit square during the \"Cool\" phase.\n\n4. **Vectorized \"Jailor\" Displacement**\n Extend the successful \"Slack-Based\" heuristic. Currently, the program calculates scalar slack to select a swap candidate. Add a new move type: **\"Jailor Shove\"**. Identify the *direction* of the jailor's largest gap (the vector to the neighbor with the most slack) and explicitly nudge the jailor in that direction by a fixed step size. This proactively utilizes the calculated slack to clear physical space for the runt, rather than relying solely on the optimizer to drift the jailor into that space.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the move acceptance criteria in the lookahead loop to value structural homogeneity. Permit a move to be accepted even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-4`), provided that the **variance** of the radii distribution decreases by a significant threshold (e.g., $>15\\%$). Reducing variance eliminates structural bottlenecks (very small circles adjacent to very large ones), smoothing the energy landscape for subsequent global optimization steps." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nBreathing Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

The target circle (the one being moved/improved) is assigned a very low power ($p=0.1$) and a high weight ($w=20.0$). This mimics a logarithmic potential ($-\\ln r$), creating a steep gradient barrier as $r \\to 0$ that forces the runt to expand and push neighbors away more aggressively than the standard polynomial potential.\n\n2. **Elastic Tunneling**: I add a `wall_margin` parameter to the loss function. During the \"Heat\" phase, I set `wall_margin = -0.01`, which effectively relaxes the boundary constraints, allowing circles to momentarily \"overlap\" the walls (by up to 1% of the domain size) without penalty. This \"soft wall\" enables corner and edge circles to slide past each other more easily, resolving friction that often locks the topology in the unit square.\n\n3. **Expanded Beam**: I increase the beam width from 6 to 8 candidates in the surgery lookahead to leverage the improved plasticity of the Magma potential.\n\nThe strict feasibility of the final packing is ensured because the subsequent \"Cool\" phase (Hard Relaxation) and all final polishing steps continue to use strict boundary constraints ($p=1.0, \\text{margin}=0.0$) and strictly valid bounds.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\n # Dual-Stage Evaluation with Runt Bias\n best_move = None\n best_move_score = current_score\n\n # Evaluate top 6 promising moves\n for _, c_cand, r_cand, _, target_idx in moves[:6]:\n x_cand = np.concatenate([c_cand.flatten(), r_cand])\n\n # Targeted Bias: Weight the moved runt higher to force expansion\n # This helps the runt 'fight' for space during the soft phase\n weights = np.ones(n)\n if target_idx is not None:\n weights[target_idx] = 3.0\n\n # Stage 1: Soft Relaxation (Power 0.5) with Bias\n res_soft = minimize(loss_variable_radii, x_cand, args=(50.0, 0.5, weights),\n method='L-BFGS-B', jac=loss_variable_radii_jac,\n bounds=bounds_opt, options={'maxiter': 30})\n=======\n # Dual-Stage Evaluation with Magma Potential\n best_move = None\n best_move_score = current_score\n\n # Evaluate top 8 promising moves (expanded beam)\n for _, c_cand, r_cand, _, target_idx in moves[:8]:\n x_cand = np.concatenate([c_cand.flatten(), r_cand])\n\n # Hybrid Magma Potential:\n # Use low power (0.1) for the target to create a steep barrier at r->0\n # Use soft walls (margin) to allow tunneling during heat phase\n powers = np.full(n, 0.5)\n weights = np.ones(n)\n \n if target_idx is not None:\n powers[target_idx] = 0.1 # Magma-like potential\n weights[target_idx] = 20.0 # Compensate for gradient scaling\n \n # Stage 1: Heat (Magma + Tunneling)\n # wall_margin = -0.01 allows radii to effectively overlap boundary slightly\n res_soft = minimize(loss_variable_radii, x_cand, args=(50.0, powers, weights, -0.01),\n method='L-BFGS-B', jac=loss_variable_radii_jac,\n bounds=bounds_opt, options={'maxiter': 35})\n>>>>>>> REPLACE\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef loss_variable_radii(params, w, power=1.0, r_weights=None):\n \"\"\"Loss function: -sum(w_i * radii^power) + w * (wall_penalty + overlap_penalty)\"\"\"\n n = len(params) // 3\n centers = params[:2 * n].reshape(n, 2)\n radii = params[2 * n:]\n\n if r_weights is None:\n obj = -np.sum(radii ** power)\n else:\n obj = -np.sum(r_weights * (radii ** power))\n\n # Wall Penalty\n viol_l = np.maximum(0, radii - centers[:, 0])\n viol_r = np.maximum(0, centers[:, 0] + radii - 1)\n viol_b = np.maximum(0, radii - centers[:, 1])\n viol_t = np.maximum(0, centers[:, 1] + radii - 1)\n penalty_wall = np.sum(viol_l**2 + viol_r**2 + viol_b**2 + viol_t**2)\n=======\ndef loss_variable_radii(params, w, power=1.0, r_weights=None, wall_margin=0.0):\n \"\"\"Loss function: -sum(w_i * radii^power) + w * (wall_penalty + overlap_penalty)\"\"\"\n n = len(params) // 3\n centers = params[:2 * n].reshape(n, 2)\n radii = params[2 * n:]\n\n if r_weights is None:\n obj = -np.sum(radii ** power)\n else:\n obj = -np.sum(r_weights * (radii ** power))\n\n # Wall Penalty with Margin (Tunneling)\n # margin < 0 allows circles to effectively overlap the wall by |margin|\n m = wall_margin\n viol_l = np.maximum(0, radii - centers[:, 0] + m)\n viol_r = np.maximum(0, centers[:, 0] + radii - 1 + m)\n viol_b = np.maximum(0, radii - centers[:, 1] + m)\n viol_t = np.maximum(0, centers[:, 1] + radii - 1 + m)\n penalty_wall = np.sum(viol_l**2 + viol_r**2 + viol_b**2 + viol_t**2)\n>>>>>>> REPLACE\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef loss_variable_radii_jac(params, w, power=1.0, r_weights=None):\n \"\"\"Analytical gradient of loss function.\"\"\"\n n = len(params) // 3\n centers = params[:2 * n].reshape(n, 2)\n radii = params[2 * n:]\n\n grad = np.zeros_like(params)\n grad_centers = grad[:2 * n].reshape(n, 2)\n grad_radii = grad[2 * n:]\n\n # Gradient of -r^p is -p*r^(p-1)\n if r_weights is None:\n grad_radii -= power * (radii ** (power - 1.0))\n else:\n grad_radii -= power * r_weights * (radii ** (power - 1.0))\n\n # Wall derivatives\n viol_l = np.maximum(0, radii - centers[:, 0])\n grad_radii += 2 * w * viol_l;

This \"soft wall\" enables corner and edge circles to slide past each other more easily, resolving friction that often locks the topology in the unit square.\n\n3. **Expanded Beam**: I increase the beam width from 6 to 8 candidates in the surgery lookahead to leverage the improved plasticity of the Magma potential.\n\nThe strict feasibility of the final packing is ensured because the subsequent \"Cool\" phase (Hard Relaxation) and all final polishing steps continue to use strict boundary constraints ($p=1.0, \\text{margin}=0.0$) and strictly valid bounds.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\n # Dual-Stage Evaluation with Runt Bias\n best_move = None\n best_move_score = current_score\n\n # Evaluate top 6 promising moves\n for _, c_cand, r_cand, _, target_idx in moves[:6]:\n x_cand = np.concatenate([c_cand.flatten(), r_cand])\n\n # Targeted Bias: Weight the moved runt higher to force expansion\n # This helps the runt 'fight' for space during the soft phase\n weights = np.ones(n)\n if target_idx is not None:\n weights[target_idx] = 3.0\n\n # Stage 1: Soft Relaxation (Power 0.5) with Bias\n res_soft = minimize(loss_variable_radii, x_cand, args=(50.0, 0.5, weights),\n method='L-BFGS-B', jac=loss_variable_radii_jac,\n bounds=bounds_opt, options={'maxiter': 30})\n=======\n # Dual-Stage Evaluation with Magma Potential\n best_move = None\n best_move_score = current_score\n\n # Evaluate top 8 promising moves (expanded beam)\n for _, c_cand, r_cand, _, target_idx in moves[:8]:\n x_cand = np.concatenate([c_cand.flatten(), r_cand])\n\n # Hybrid Magma Potential:\n # Use low power (0.1) for the target to create a steep barrier at r->0\n # Use soft walls (margin) to allow tunneling during heat phase\n powers = np.full(n, 0.5)\n weights = np.ones(n)\n \n if target_idx is not None:\n powers[target_idx] = 0.1 # Magma-like potential\n weights[target_idx] = 20.0 # Compensate for gradient scaling\n \n # Stage 1: Heat (Magma + Tunneling)\n # wall_margin = -0.01 allows radii to effectively overlap boundary slightly\n res_soft = minimize(loss_variable_radii, x_cand, args=(50.0, powers, weights, -0.01),\n method='L-BFGS-B', jac=loss_variable_radii_jac,\n bounds=bounds_opt, options={'maxiter': 35})\n>>>>>>> REPLACE\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef loss_variable_radii(params, w, power=1.0, r_weights=None):\n \"\"\"Loss function: -sum(w_i * radii^power) + w * (wall_penalty + overlap_penalty)\"\"\"\n n = len(params) // 3\n centers = params[:2 * n].reshape(n, 2)\n radii = params[2 * n:]\n\n if r_weights is None:\n obj = -np.sum(radii ** power)\n else:\n obj = -np.sum(r_weights * (radii ** power))\n\n # Wall Penalty\n viol_l = np.maximum(0, radii - centers[:, 0])\n viol_r = np.maximum(0, centers[:, 0] + radii - 1)\n viol_b = np.maximum(0, radii - centers[:, 1])\n viol_t = np.maximum(0, centers[:, 1] + radii - 1)\n penalty_wall = np.sum(viol_l**2 + viol_r**2 + viol_b**2 + viol_t**2)\n=======\ndef loss_variable_radii(params, w, power=1.0, r_weights=None, wall_margin=0.0):\n \"\"\"Loss function: -sum(w_i * radii^power) + w * (wall_penalty + overlap_penalty)\"\"\"\n n = len(params) // 3\n centers = params[:2 * n].reshape(n, 2)\n radii = params[2 * n:]\n\n if r_weights is None:\n obj = -np.sum(radii ** power)\n else:\n obj = -np.sum(r_weights * (radii ** power))\n\n # Wall Penalty with Margin (Tunneling)\n # margin < 0 allows circles to effectively overlap the wall by |margin|\n m = wall_margin\n viol_l = np.maximum(0, radii - centers[:, 0] + m)\n viol_r = np.maximum(0, centers[:, 0] + radii - 1 + m)\n viol_b = np.maximum(0, radii - centers[:, 1] + m)\n viol_t = np.maximum(0, centers[:, 1] + radii - 1 + m)\n penalty_wall = np.sum(viol_l**2 + viol_r**2 + viol_b**2 + viol_t**2)\n>>>>>>> REPLACE\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef loss_variable_radii_jac(params, w, power=1.0, r_weights=None):\n \"\"\"Analytical gradient of loss function.\"\"\"\n n = len(params) // 3\n centers = params[:2 * n].reshape(n, 2)\n radii = params[2 * n:]\n\n grad = np.zeros_like(params)\n grad_centers = grad[:2 * n].reshape(n, 2)\n grad_radii = grad[2 * n:]\n\n # Gradient of -r^p is -p*r^(p-1)\n if r_weights is None:\n grad_radii -= power * (radii ** (power - 1.0))\n else:\n grad_radii -= power * r_weights * (radii ** (power - 1.0))\n\n # Wall derivatives\n viol_l = np.maximum(0, radii - centers[:, 0])\n grad_radii += 2 * w * viol_l;

(Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_max_radius_growth_potential**: The maximum potential increase in radius for any single circle, assuming its center is fixed. (Component Contribution / Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_clearance_ratio**: The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle. A small ratio indicates a very tightly constrained circle. (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries.

Stable numeric checks to avoid invalid overlap/out-of-bound states.\n\nBe creative but prioritize correctness and stable improvements.\n\nYou MUST repond using a edit name, description and the exact SEARCH/REPLACE diff format shown below to indicate changes:\n\n\nA shortened name summarizing the edit you are proposing.

These recommendations focus on refining the \"Heat\" phase to force plasticity in jammed configurations and exploiting the geometric \"slack\" identified in the best program.\n\n1. **Hybrid \"Magma\" Potential for Runt**\n Modify the `run_hydro_stage` objective function to allow a hybrid potential. Specifically, for the designated `runt` (smallest circle), replace the standard $r^{0.5}$ term with a logarithmic potential $-\\ln(r)$ (or effectively $r^{0.01}$) during the \"Heat\" phase. While the $r^{0.5}$ schedule (Hydro-Thermal) works well for global coordination, the `runt` requires the infinite gradient of a logarithmic barrier at $r \\to 0$ to forcefully \"wedge\" apart its neighbors, creating plastic deformation that the finite gradient of $r^{0.5}$ cannot achieve in tight jams.\n\n2. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" Relaxation**\n Insert a \"Centering\" regularization step immediately before the LP call in the surgery loop. Compute the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10% of the distance) towards the **centroid** of its Voronoi cell (Lloyd\u2019s Algorithm). This operation redistributes the available \"slack\" (rattle space) evenly around circles rather than leaving them jammed against constraints, significantly increasing the probability that subsequent topological swaps will find valid geometric paths.\n\n3. **Elastic Boundary \"Tunneling\"**\n Introduce a `wall_margin` parameter to the `hydro_loss` function. During the high-temperature \"Heat\" phase (and only then), allow the boundary constraints to relax effectively to `[-0.01, 1.01]` (a negative margin). This \"soft wall\" approach allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass each other\u2014resolving the boundary friction that currently locks corner configurations\u2014before being strictly enforced back inside the unit square during the \"Cool\" phase.\n\n4. **Vectorized \"Jailor\" Displacement**\n Extend the successful \"Slack-Based\" heuristic. Currently, the program calculates scalar slack to select a swap candidate. Add a new move type: **\"Jailor Shove\"**. Identify the *direction* of the jailor's largest gap (the vector to the neighbor with the most slack) and explicitly nudge the jailor in that direction by a fixed step size. This proactively utilizes the calculated slack to clear physical space for the runt, rather than relying solely on the optimizer to drift the jailor into that space.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the move acceptance criteria in the lookahead loop to value structural homogeneity. Permit a move to be accepted even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-4`), provided that the **variance** of the radii distribution decreases by a significant threshold (e.g., $>15\\%$). Reducing variance eliminates structural bottlenecks (very small circles adjacent to very large ones), smoothing the energy landscape for subsequent global optimization steps." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nBreathing Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_max_radius_growth_potential**: The maximum potential increase in radius for any single circle, assuming its center is fixed. (Component Contribution / Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_clearance_ratio**: The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle. A small ratio indicates a very tightly constrained circle. (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

These recommendations aim to leverage the \"Slack-Aware\" logic found in the best program while introducing stronger plasticity mechanisms to escape local optima.\n\n1. **Hybrid Logarithmic Potential for the Runt**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to support a hybrid objective. Currently, the program uses a weighted power law (`weight * r^0.5`) for all circles during the \"Heat\" phase. You should implement a condition where, specifically for the `runt` (identified by high `r_weights`), the term is replaced by a logarithmic barrier: `-weight * np.log(radii[i])`. The gradient of $\\ln(r)$ ($1/r$) goes to infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger \"explosive\" force to open space for vanishingly small circles than the finite gradient of $r^{0.5}$, effectively forcing neighbors to yield.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\"**\n Extend the \"Slack-Based\" heuristic in the surgery loop. Generation 133 calculates a scalar `slack` to sort swap candidates. Upgrade this to calculate a **slack vector**: compute the weighted sum of vectors pointing toward neighbors with large gaps. Create a new move type `('shove', ...)` that displaces the identified \"jailor\" along this vector (e.g., by 0.02 units) rather than swapping it. This explicitly utilizes the geometric freedom identified by the slack metric to clear a physical path for the runt.\n\n3. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" (Lloyd's Relaxation)**\n Insert a geometric relaxation step immediately before the `optimize_radii_lp` call in the surgery assessment phase. Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle 5-10% towards the **centroid** of its Voronoi cell (`new_pos = 0.9 * pos + 0.1 * centroid`). This \"Lloyd's step\" regularizes the cell shapes and redistributes free space (slack) more evenly around the packing, often resolving \"jammed\" configurations that gradient-based solvers (L-BFGS-B) cannot escape.\n\n4. **Temporary Boundary Expansion (\"Tunneling\")**\n To resolve jamming at the container walls, modify `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `tunneling=True` flag during the \"Heat\" phase (`power=0.5`). When enabled, relax the L-BFGS-B bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]`. This allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass each other or reorder along the wall. The subsequent \"Cool\" phase must rigorously enforce the standard `[(0, 1)]` bounds to push them back into the valid domain.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the move acceptance criteria in the lookahead loop to value structural homogeneity. Currently, the best program accepts moves based on score improvement or specific runt growth. Add a third criterion: accept a move if the **standard deviation of radii** decreases by a significant margin (e.g., >10%), even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., < 0.001). Lower variance implies a more uniform structure, which is generally less prone to permanent jamming and more amenable to global LP optimization." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

These recommendations aim to leverage the \"Slack-Aware\" logic found in the best program while introducing stronger plasticity mechanisms to escape local optima.\n\n1. **Hybrid Logarithmic Potential for the Runt**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to support a hybrid objective. Currently, the program uses a weighted power law (`weight * r^0.5`) for all circles during the \"Heat\" phase. You should implement a condition where, specifically for the `runt` (identified by high `r_weights`), the term is replaced by a logarithmic barrier: `-weight * np.log(radii[i])`. The gradient of $\\ln(r)$ ($1/r$) goes to infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger \"explosive\" force to open space for vanishingly small circles than the finite gradient of $r^{0.5}$, effectively forcing neighbors to yield.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\"**\n Extend the \"Slack-Based\" heuristic in the surgery loop. Generation 133 calculates a scalar `slack` to sort swap candidates. Upgrade this to calculate a **slack vector**: compute the weighted sum of vectors pointing toward neighbors with large gaps. Create a new move type `('shove', ...)` that displaces the identified \"jailor\" along this vector (e.g., by 0.02 units) rather than swapping it. This explicitly utilizes the geometric freedom identified by the slack metric to clear a physical path for the runt.\n\n3. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" (Lloyd's Relaxation)**\n Insert a geometric relaxation step immediately before the `optimize_radii_lp` call in the surgery assessment phase. Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle 5-10% towards the **centroid** of its Voronoi cell (`new_pos = 0.9 * pos + 0.1 * centroid`). This \"Lloyd's step\" regularizes the cell shapes and redistributes free space (slack) more evenly around the packing, often resolving \"jammed\" configurations that gradient-based solvers (L-BFGS-B) cannot escape.\n\n4. **Temporary Boundary Expansion (\"Tunneling\")**\n To resolve jamming at the container walls, modify `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `tunneling=True` flag during the \"Heat\" phase (`power=0.5`). When enabled, relax the L-BFGS-B bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]`. This allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass each other or reorder along the wall. The subsequent \"Cool\" phase must rigorously enforce the standard `[(0, 1)]` bounds to push them back into the valid domain.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the move acceptance criteria in the lookahead loop to value structural homogeneity. Currently, the best program accepts moves based on score improvement or specific runt growth. Add a third criterion: accept a move if the **standard deviation of radii** decreases by a significant margin (e.g., >10%), even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., < 0.001). Lower variance implies a more uniform structure, which is generally less prone to permanent jamming and more amenable to global LP optimization." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution - *Temporarily disabled for error diagnosis*)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs.

These recommendations aim to leverage the \"Slack-Aware\" logic found in the best program while introducing stronger plasticity mechanisms to escape local optima.\n\n1. **Hybrid Logarithmic Potential for the Runt**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to support a hybrid objective. Currently, the program uses a weighted power law (`weight * r^0.5`) for all circles during the \"Heat\" phase. You should implement a condition where, specifically for the `runt` (identified by high `r_weights`), the term is replaced by a logarithmic barrier: `-weight * np.log(radii[i])`. The gradient of $\\ln(r)$ ($1/r$) goes to infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger \"explosive\" force to open space for vanishingly small circles than the finite gradient of $r^{0.5}$, effectively forcing neighbors to yield.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\"**\n Extend the \"Slack-Based\" heuristic in the surgery loop. Generation 133 calculates a scalar `slack` to sort swap candidates. Upgrade this to calculate a **slack vector**: compute the weighted sum of vectors pointing toward neighbors with large gaps. Create a new move type `('shove', ...)` that displaces the identified \"jailor\" along this vector (e.g., by 0.02 units) rather than swapping it. This explicitly utilizes the geometric freedom identified by the slack metric to clear a physical path for the runt.\n\n3. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" (Lloyd's Relaxation)**\n Insert a geometric relaxation step immediately before the `optimize_radii_lp` call in the surgery assessment phase. Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle 5-10% towards the **centroid** of its Voronoi cell (`new_pos = 0.9 * pos + 0.1 * centroid`). This \"Lloyd's step\" regularizes the cell shapes and redistributes free space (slack) more evenly around the packing, often resolving \"jammed\" configurations that gradient-based solvers (L-BFGS-B) cannot escape.\n\n4. **Temporary Boundary Expansion (\"Tunneling\")**\n To resolve jamming at the container walls, modify `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `tunneling=True` flag during the \"Heat\" phase (`power=0.5`). When enabled, relax the L-BFGS-B bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]`. This allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass each other or reorder along the wall. The subsequent \"Cool\" phase must rigorously enforce the standard `[(0, 1)]` bounds to push them back into the valid domain.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the move acceptance criteria in the lookahead loop to value structural homogeneity. Currently, the best program accepts moves based on score improvement or specific runt growth. Add a third criterion: accept a move if the **standard deviation of radii** decreases by a significant margin (e.g., >10%), even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., < 0.001). Lower variance implies a more uniform structure, which is generally less prone to permanent jamming and more amenable to global LP optimization." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

When set, the optimization objective for that specific circle changes from a power law (e.g., $-r^{0.5}$) to a logarithmic barrier ($-\\ln(r)$). This introduces an infinite gradient as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger \"explosive\" force to expand compressed circles (runts) than the standard approach.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\" & Variance-Aware Surgery**: \n * Introduce a new \"Shove\" move in the surgery phase. Instead of blindly swapping a runt with a constraining neighbor (\"jailor\"), the algorithm calculates a vector pointing towards the jailor's free space (gaps with other neighbors) and pushes the jailor along that vector. This actively clears space for the runt to grow.\n * Update the surgery acceptance criteria to reward moves that reduce the standard deviation of radii (homogenization), helping the packing escape jammed, uneven local optima.\n\nHere are the edits:\n\n\nlog_barrier_loss\n\n\nUpdate `loss_variable_radii` and its Jacobian to support a `log_barrier_idx` argument. When provided, the loss for that specific circle uses a logarithmic barrier `-log(r)` instead of the power law `-r^p`. This creates an infinite gradient at r=0, providing a stronger \"explosive\" force to open space for compressed circles (runts) during optimization.\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef loss_variable_radii(params, w, power=1.0, r_weights=None):\n \"\"\"Loss function: -sum(w_i * radii^power) + w * (wall_penalty + overlap_penalty)\"\"\"\n n = len(params) // 3\n centers = params[:2 * n].reshape(n, 2)\n radii = params[2 * n:]\n\n if r_weights is None:\n obj = -np.sum(radii ** power)\n else:\n obj = -np.sum(r_weights * (radii ** power))\n\n # Wall Penalty\n viol_l = np.maximum(0, radii - centers[:, 0])\n viol_r = np.maximum(0, centers[:, 0] + radii - 1)\n viol_b = np.maximum(0, radii - centers[:, 1])\n viol_t = np.maximum(0, centers[:, 1] + radii - 1)\n penalty_wall = np.sum(viol_l**2 + viol_r**2 + viol_b**2 + viol_t**2)\n\n # Overlap Penalty\n diff = centers[:, np.newaxis, :] - centers[np.newaxis, :, :]\n dists_sq = np.sum(diff**2, axis=-1)\n dists = np.sqrt(dists_sq)\n np.fill_diagonal(dists, np.inf)\n\n sum_r = radii[:, np.newaxis] + radii[np.newaxis, :]\n overlap = np.maximum(0, sum_r - dists)\n tri_mask = np.triu(np.ones((n, n), dtype=bool), k=1)\n penalty_overlap = np.sum(overlap[tri_mask]**2)\n\n return obj + w * (penalty_wall + penalty_overlap)\n\ndef loss_variable_radii_jac(params, w, power=1.0, r_weights=None):\n \"\"\"Analytical gradient of loss function.\"\"\"\n n = len(params) // 3\n centers = params[:2 * n].reshape(n, 2)\n radii = params[2 * n:]\n\n grad = np.zeros_like(params)\n grad_centers = grad[:2 * n].reshape(n, 2)\n grad_radii = grad[2 * n:]\n\n if r_weights is None:\n grad_radii -= power * (radii ** (power - 1.0))\n else:\n grad_radii -= power * r_weights * (radii ** (power - 1.0))\n\n # Wall derivatives\n viol_l = np.maximum(0, radii - centers[:, 0])\n grad_radii += 2 * w * viol_l;

When set, the optimization objective for that specific circle changes from a power law (e.g., $-r^{0.5}$) to a logarithmic barrier ($-\\ln(r)$). This introduces an infinite gradient as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger \"explosive\" force to expand compressed circles (runts) than the standard approach.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\" & Variance-Aware Surgery**: \n * Introduce a new \"Shove\" move in the surgery phase. Instead of blindly swapping a runt with a constraining neighbor (\"jailor\"), the algorithm calculates a vector pointing towards the jailor's free space (gaps with other neighbors) and pushes the jailor along that vector. This actively clears space for the runt to grow.\n * Update the surgery acceptance criteria to reward moves that reduce the standard deviation of radii (homogenization), helping the packing escape jammed, uneven local optima.\n\nHere are the edits:\n\n\nlog_barrier_loss\n\n\nUpdate `loss_variable_radii` and its Jacobian to support a `log_barrier_idx` argument. When provided, the loss for that specific circle uses a logarithmic barrier `-log(r)` instead of the power law `-r^p`. This creates an infinite gradient at r=0, providing a stronger \"explosive\" force to open space for compressed circles (runts) during optimization.\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef loss_variable_radii(params, w, power=1.0, r_weights=None):\n \"\"\"Loss function: -sum(w_i * radii^power) + w * (wall_penalty + overlap_penalty)\"\"\"\n n = len(params) // 3\n centers = params[:2 * n].reshape(n, 2)\n radii = params[2 * n:]\n\n if r_weights is None:\n obj = -np.sum(radii ** power)\n else:\n obj = -np.sum(r_weights * (radii ** power))\n\n # Wall Penalty\n viol_l = np.maximum(0, radii - centers[:, 0])\n viol_r = np.maximum(0, centers[:, 0] + radii - 1)\n viol_b = np.maximum(0, radii - centers[:, 1])\n viol_t = np.maximum(0, centers[:, 1] + radii - 1)\n penalty_wall = np.sum(viol_l**2 + viol_r**2 + viol_b**2 + viol_t**2)\n\n # Overlap Penalty\n diff = centers[:, np.newaxis, :] - centers[np.newaxis, :, :]\n dists_sq = np.sum(diff**2, axis=-1)\n dists = np.sqrt(dists_sq)\n np.fill_diagonal(dists, np.inf)\n\n sum_r = radii[:, np.newaxis] + radii[np.newaxis, :]\n overlap = np.maximum(0, sum_r - dists)\n tri_mask = np.triu(np.ones((n, n), dtype=bool), k=1)\n penalty_overlap = np.sum(overlap[tri_mask]**2)\n\n return obj + w * (penalty_wall + penalty_overlap)\n\ndef loss_variable_radii_jac(params, w, power=1.0, r_weights=None):\n \"\"\"Analytical gradient of loss function.\"\"\"\n n = len(params) // 3\n centers = params[:2 * n].reshape(n, 2)\n radii = params[2 * n:]\n\n grad = np.zeros_like(params)\n grad_centers = grad[:2 * n].reshape(n, 2)\n grad_radii = grad[2 * n:]\n\n if r_weights is None:\n grad_radii -= power * (radii ** (power - 1.0))\n else:\n grad_radii -= power * r_weights * (radii ** (power - 1.0))\n\n # Wall derivatives\n viol_l = np.maximum(0, radii - centers[:, 0])\n grad_radii += 2 * w * viol_l;

These recommendations aim to leverage the \"Slack-Aware\" logic found in the best program while introducing stronger plasticity mechanisms to escape local optima.\n\n1. **Hybrid Logarithmic Potential for the Runt**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to support a hybrid objective. Currently, the program uses a weighted power law (`weight * r^0.5`) for all circles during the \"Heat\" phase. You should implement a condition where, specifically for the `runt` (identified by high `r_weights`), the term is replaced by a logarithmic barrier: `-weight * np.log(radii[i])`. The gradient of $\\ln(r)$ ($1/r$) goes to infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger \"explosive\" force to open space for vanishingly small circles than the finite gradient of $r^{0.5}$, effectively forcing neighbors to yield.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\"**\n Extend the \"Slack-Based\" heuristic in the surgery loop. Generation 133 calculates a scalar `slack` to sort swap candidates. Upgrade this to calculate a **slack vector**: compute the weighted sum of vectors pointing toward neighbors with large gaps. Create a new move type `('shove', ...)` that displaces the identified \"jailor\" along this vector (e.g., by 0.02 units) rather than swapping it. This explicitly utilizes the geometric freedom identified by the slack metric to clear a physical path for the runt.\n\n3. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" (Lloyd's Relaxation)**\n Insert a geometric relaxation step immediately before the `optimize_radii_lp` call in the surgery assessment phase. Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle 5-10% towards the **centroid** of its Voronoi cell (`new_pos = 0.9 * pos + 0.1 * centroid`). This \"Lloyd's step\" regularizes the cell shapes and redistributes free space (slack) more evenly around the packing, often resolving \"jammed\" configurations that gradient-based solvers (L-BFGS-B) cannot escape.\n\n4. **Temporary Boundary Expansion (\"Tunneling\")**\n To resolve jamming at the container walls, modify `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `tunneling=True` flag during the \"Heat\" phase (`power=0.5`). When enabled, relax the L-BFGS-B bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]`. This allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass each other or reorder along the wall. The subsequent \"Cool\" phase must rigorously enforce the standard `[(0, 1)]` bounds to push them back into the valid domain.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the move acceptance criteria in the lookahead loop to value structural homogeneity. Currently, the best program accepts moves based on score improvement or specific runt growth. Add a third criterion: accept a move if the **standard deviation of radii** decreases by a significant margin (e.g., >10%), even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., < 0.001). Lower variance implies a more uniform structure, which is generally less prone to permanent jamming and more amenable to global LP optimization." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Breathing Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Magma/Tunneling heuristics.\nFeatures:\n1.

You should derive and implement the exact Jacobian (gradient) for the objective `-sum(radii)` and the penalty terms (overlap and wall violations). This will provide the solver with precise directionality, leading to faster convergence and deeper local minima in the complex high-dimensional landscape.\n\n2. **Transfer Multiple Topologies (Top-K) to Phase 2**\n Currently, only the single best configuration from the equal-circle optimization (Phase 1) is used as a seed for the variable-radius phase. You should modify the workflow to pass the top 3 to 5 distinct local minima found in Phase 1 into Phase 2. The optimal topology for *equal* circles is not always the optimal starting basin for *variable* circles, and exploring multiple promising candidates increases the probability of finding a global maximum.\n\n3. **Adopt Dynamic Penalty Scheduling (Stiffness)**\n Instead of using a static high penalty weight (e.g., `w=1e5`) throughout the variable-radius optimization, implement a scheduling loop that gradually increases the weight (e.g., $10^2 \\to 10^4 \\to 10^7$). This allows the solver to traverse \"physically invalid\" states (overlapping circles) early in the process to reorganize the layout before strictly enforcing constraints, preventing the system from locking into suboptimal jammed states too early.\n\n4. **Integrate Basin Hopping for Variable Radii**\n Extend the Phase 2 optimization by wrapping the minimization in a \"Basin Hopping\" or \"Iterative Perturbation\" loop. After the solver converges, apply a small random perturbation to the centers and radii and re-minimize. This \"shake-and-relax\" strategy helps the system escape shallow local minima where small circles are trapped in inefficient gaps between larger ones.\n\n5. **Add Corner-Biased Initialization Heuristics**\n Optimal packings in square containers heavily utilize the corners to maximize space efficiency. Enhance the initialization set in Phase 1 by adding heuristic patterns that explicitly place circles deeply into the four corners of the unit square (e.g., at coordinates $(r,r), (1-r,r), \\dots$) before randomly or grid-filling the remaining space. This biases the search towards configurations that exploit the container's geometry more effectively than random or centered-hexagonal starts." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

These recommendations aim to leverage the \"Slack-Aware\" logic found in the best program while introducing stronger plasticity mechanisms to escape local optima.\n\n1. **Hybrid Logarithmic Potential for the Runt**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to support a hybrid objective. Currently, the program uses a weighted power law (`weight * r^0.5`) for all circles during the \"Heat\" phase. You should implement a condition where, specifically for the `runt` (identified by high `r_weights`), the term is replaced by a logarithmic barrier: `-weight * np.log(radii[i])`. The gradient of $\\ln(r)$ ($1/r$) goes to infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger \"explosive\" force to open space for vanishingly small circles than the finite gradient of $r^{0.5}$, effectively forcing neighbors to yield.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\"**\n Extend the \"Slack-Based\" heuristic in the surgery loop. Generation 133 calculates a scalar `slack` to sort swap candidates. Upgrade this to calculate a **slack vector**: compute the weighted sum of vectors pointing toward neighbors with large gaps. Create a new move type `('shove', ...)` that displaces the identified \"jailor\" along this vector (e.g., by 0.02 units) rather than swapping it. This explicitly utilizes the geometric freedom identified by the slack metric to clear a physical path for the runt.\n\n3. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" (Lloyd's Relaxation)**\n Insert a geometric relaxation step immediately before the `optimize_radii_lp` call in the surgery assessment phase. Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle 5-10% towards the **centroid** of its Voronoi cell (`new_pos = 0.9 * pos + 0.1 * centroid`). This \"Lloyd's step\" regularizes the cell shapes and redistributes free space (slack) more evenly around the packing, often resolving \"jammed\" configurations that gradient-based solvers (L-BFGS-B) cannot escape.\n\n4. **Temporary Boundary Expansion (\"Tunneling\")**\n To resolve jamming at the container walls, modify `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `tunneling=True` flag during the \"Heat\" phase (`power=0.5`). When enabled, relax the L-BFGS-B bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]`. This allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass each other or reorder along the wall. The subsequent \"Cool\" phase must rigorously enforce the standard `[(0, 1)]` bounds to push them back into the valid domain.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the move acceptance criteria in the lookahead loop to value structural homogeneity. Currently, the best program accepts moves based on score improvement or specific runt growth. Add a third criterion: accept a move if the **standard deviation of radii** decreases by a significant margin (e.g., >10%), even if the total score drops slightly (e.g., < 0.001). Lower variance implies a more uniform structure, which is generally less prone to permanent jamming and more amenable to global LP optimization." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

This promotes hexagonal packing efficiency and isotropy, offering a global structural improvement that complements the local swaps and shoves.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\n bounds_opt = [(0, 1)] * (2 * n) + [(1e-6, 0.5)] * n\n\n for base_min_d, base_pts in top_candidates:\n # Initial radii guess\n r0 = base_min_d / (2 * (1 + base_min_d))\n centers = r0 + (1 - 2*r0) * base_pts\n radii = np.full(n, r0)\n\n # Current state\n x_curr = np.concatenate([centers.flatten(), radii])\n\n # Breathing Schedule: (Weight, Power, Iterations)\n # Updated with P=0.5 regularization and stepped transitions\n schedule = [\n (100.0, 2.0, 100), # Init: Establish order\n (1e4, 1.0, 120), # Tighten 1\n (20.0, 0.5, 150), # Breathe: Low power encourages uniformity, low weight allows mixing\n (1e3, 1.0, 100), # Transition: Soft tighten\n (1e5, 1.0, 200), # Tighten 2: Hard\n (1e7, 1.0, 250) # Final Polish\n ]\n\n for stage_i, (w, p, it) in enumerate(schedule):\n res = minimize(loss_variable_radii, x_curr, args=(w, p),\n method='L-BFGS-B', jac=loss_variable_radii_jac,\n bounds=bounds_opt, options={'maxiter': it})\n x_curr = res.x\n=======\n bounds_opt = [(0, 1)] * (2 * n) + [(1e-6, 0.5)] * n\n # Tunneling bounds: Allow centers to slightly leave the box to resolve boundary jams\n bounds_tunnel = [(-0.05, 1.05)] * (2 * n) + [(1e-6, 0.5)] * n\n\n for base_min_d, base_pts in top_candidates:\n # Initial radii guess\n r0 = base_min_d / (2 * (1 + base_min_d))\n centers = r0 + (1 - 2*r0) * base_pts\n radii = np.full(n, r0)\n\n # Current state\n x_curr = np.concatenate([centers.flatten(), radii])\n\n # Breathing Schedule: (Weight, Power, Iterations)\n # Updated with P=0.5 regularization and stepped transitions\n schedule = [\n (100.0, 2.0, 100), # Init: Establish order\n (1e4, 1.0, 120), # Tighten 1\n (20.0, 0.5, 150), # Breathe: Low power encourages uniformity, low weight allows mixing\n (1e3, 1.0, 100), # Transition: Soft tighten\n (1e5, 1.0, 200), # Tighten 2: Hard\n (1e7, 1.0, 250) # Final Polish\n ]\n\n for stage_i, (w, p, it) in enumerate(schedule):\n # Apply tunneling bounds during the Breathe phase\n current_bounds = bounds_tunnel if stage_i == 2 else bounds_opt\n \n res = minimize(loss_variable_radii, x_curr, args=(w, p),\n method='L-BFGS-B', jac=loss_variable_radii_jac,\n bounds=current_bounds, options={'maxiter': it})\n x_curr = res.x\n>>>>>>> REPLACE\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\n for n_idx, _ in neighbor_scores[:4]:\n # A.

These strategies aim to enhance the \"Slack-Aware\" logic and introduce controlled plasticity to resolve jamming.\n\n1. **Hybrid Logarithmic Barrier for Runt Inflation**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` objective function during the \"Heat\" phase to use a logarithmic potential specifically for the \"runt\" (smallest circle). Replace the power-law term (`-weight * r^0.5`) with a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`) for the identified runt index. The gradient of $\\ln(r)$ approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to wedge open space than the finite gradient of the current power law, effectively forcing neighbors to yield.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\" Move**\n Upgrade the current \"Jailbreak\" heuristic from a scalar slack check to a **vector-based displacement**. Instead of just swapping the runt with a high-slack neighbor, calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor (the weighted sum of vectors pointing toward its own neighbors where gaps exist). Introduce a new move type that physically shifts the jailor along this vector (e.g., by 0.02 units) into its available space, directly clearing a path for the runt without the drastic topology change of a swap.\n\n3. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" (Lloyd's Relaxation)**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP optimization in the surgery loop. Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10%) towards the **centroid** of its Voronoi cell (`new_pos = 0.9 * pos + 0.1 * centroid`). This \"Lloyd's step\" homogenizes the cell shapes and redistributes free space more evenly, effectively resolving \"jammed\" configurations that gradient-based solvers (L-BFGS-B) cannot escape.\n\n4. **Temporary Boundary Expansion (\"Tunneling\")**\n To resolve ordering issues along the container walls, modify the `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `tunneling=True` flag during the \"Heat\" phase. When enabled, relax the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]`. This allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass one another, resolving local optima where circles are trapped against the wall, before the subsequent \"Cool\" phase forces them back into the valid unit square.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the lookahead acceptance criteria to value structural uniformity. Add a condition to accept a topological move if the **standard deviation of the radii** decreases by a significant margin (e.g., >10%), even if the total objective score drops slightly (e.g., < 0.001). Lower variance implies a more hexagonal-like, uniform structure, which is intrinsically more stable and less prone to the permanent \"runt\" jamming that limits the current generation." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Breathing Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Magma/Tunneling heuristics.\nFeatures:\n1.

These strategies aim to enhance the \"Slack-Aware\" logic and introduce controlled plasticity to resolve jamming.\n\n1. **Hybrid Logarithmic Barrier for Runt Inflation**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` objective function during the \"Heat\" phase to use a logarithmic potential specifically for the \"runt\" (smallest circle). Replace the power-law term (`-weight * r^0.5`) with a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`) for the identified runt index. The gradient of $\\ln(r)$ approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to wedge open space than the finite gradient of the current power law, effectively forcing neighbors to yield.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\" Move**\n Upgrade the current \"Jailbreak\" heuristic from a scalar slack check to a **vector-based displacement**. Instead of just swapping the runt with a high-slack neighbor, calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor (the weighted sum of vectors pointing toward its own neighbors where gaps exist). Introduce a new move type that physically shifts the jailor along this vector (e.g., by 0.02 units) into its available space, directly clearing a path for the runt without the drastic topology change of a swap.\n\n3. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" (Lloyd's Relaxation)**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP optimization in the surgery loop. Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10%) towards the **centroid** of its Voronoi cell (`new_pos = 0.9 * pos + 0.1 * centroid`). This \"Lloyd's step\" homogenizes the cell shapes and redistributes free space more evenly, effectively resolving \"jammed\" configurations that gradient-based solvers (L-BFGS-B) cannot escape.\n\n4. **Temporary Boundary Expansion (\"Tunneling\")**\n To resolve ordering issues along the container walls, modify the `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `tunneling=True` flag during the \"Heat\" phase. When enabled, relax the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]`. This allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass one another, resolving local optima where circles are trapped against the wall, before the subsequent \"Cool\" phase forces them back into the valid unit square.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the lookahead acceptance criteria to value structural uniformity. Add a condition to accept a topological move if the **standard deviation of the radii** decreases by a significant margin (e.g., >10%), even if the total objective score drops slightly (e.g., < 0.001). Lower variance implies a more hexagonal-like, uniform structure, which is intrinsically more stable and less prone to the permanent \"runt\" jamming that limits the current generation." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Breathing Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Magma/Tunneling heuristics.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity - *Temporarily disabled for error diagnosis*) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution - *Temporarily disabled for error diagnosis*) | The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_max_radius_growth_potential**: The maximum potential increase in radius for any single circle, assuming its center is fixed. (Component Contribution / Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_metric_error_message**: Provides the actual error message if metric calculation fails. (Diagnostic)\n- **aux_min_clearance_ratio**: The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle. A small ratio indicates a very tightly constrained circle. (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

This applies a `-0.5 * log(r)` potential to a specific circle (the \"runt\") instead of the standard power law, creating a strong force to wedge it open during relaxation.\n2. **Tunneling (Wall Margin)**: Updates the loss function to accept `wall_margin`, allowing circles to temporarily violate the unit square boundaries during the \"Heat\" phase. This prevents circles from getting pinned against the wall during rearrangement.\n3. **Vector-Directed Shove**: In `construct_packing` surgery, introduces a \"Shove\" move that displaces a constraining neighbor (\"jailor\") along the vector from the runt, actively clearing space instead of just swapping.\n4. **Updated Surgery Evaluation**: Modifies the `run_surgery` block to use relaxed bounds (`bounds_tunnel`), the log barrier, and the wall margin during the initial \"Heat\" minimization, followed by a \"Cooling\" phase that snaps the configuration back to valid bounds.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\n # 2.

These strategies aim to enhance the \"Slack-Aware\" logic and introduce controlled plasticity to resolve jamming.\n\n1. **Hybrid Logarithmic Barrier for Runt Inflation**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` objective function during the \"Heat\" phase to use a logarithmic potential specifically for the \"runt\" (smallest circle). Replace the power-law term (`-weight * r^0.5`) with a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`) for the identified runt index. The gradient of $\\ln(r)$ approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to wedge open space than the finite gradient of the current power law, effectively forcing neighbors to yield.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\" Move**\n Upgrade the current \"Jailbreak\" heuristic from a scalar slack check to a **vector-based displacement**. Instead of just swapping the runt with a high-slack neighbor, calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor (the weighted sum of vectors pointing toward its own neighbors where gaps exist). Introduce a new move type that physically shifts the jailor along this vector (e.g., by 0.02 units) into its available space, directly clearing a path for the runt without the drastic topology change of a swap.\n\n3. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" (Lloyd's Relaxation)**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP optimization in the surgery loop. Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10%) towards the **centroid** of its Voronoi cell (`new_pos = 0.9 * pos + 0.1 * centroid`). This \"Lloyd's step\" homogenizes the cell shapes and redistributes free space more evenly, effectively resolving \"jammed\" configurations that gradient-based solvers (L-BFGS-B) cannot escape.\n\n4. **Temporary Boundary Expansion (\"Tunneling\")**\n To resolve ordering issues along the container walls, modify the `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `tunneling=True` flag during the \"Heat\" phase. When enabled, relax the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]`. This allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass one another, resolving local optima where circles are trapped against the wall, before the subsequent \"Cool\" phase forces them back into the valid unit square.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the lookahead acceptance criteria to value structural uniformity. Add a condition to accept a topological move if the **standard deviation of the radii** decreases by a significant margin (e.g., >10%), even if the total objective score drops slightly (e.g., < 0.001). Lower variance implies a more hexagonal-like, uniform structure, which is intrinsically more stable and less prone to the permanent \"runt\" jamming that limits the current generation." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Breathing Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Magma/Tunneling heuristics.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density) | The average number of other circles a given circle is touching or very close to (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage) | The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing (can be negative, reflecting overlap/no void). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_max_radius_growth_potential**: The maximum potential increase in radius for any single circle, assuming its center is fixed. (Component Contribution / Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_clearance_ratio**: The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle. A small ratio indicates a very tightly constrained circle. (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension) | The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle (now continuous, can be negative for overlaps). (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

These strategies aim to enhance the \"Slack-Aware\" logic and introduce controlled plasticity to resolve jamming.\n\n1. **Hybrid Logarithmic Barrier for Runt Inflation**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` objective function during the \"Heat\" phase to use a logarithmic potential specifically for the \"runt\" (smallest circle). Replace the power-law term (`-weight * r^0.5`) with a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`) for the identified runt index. The gradient of $\\ln(r)$ approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to wedge open space than the finite gradient of the current power law, effectively forcing neighbors to yield.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\" Move**\n Upgrade the current \"Jailbreak\" heuristic from a scalar slack check to a **vector-based displacement**. Instead of just swapping the runt with a high-slack neighbor, calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor (the weighted sum of vectors pointing toward its own neighbors where gaps exist). Introduce a new move type that physically shifts the jailor along this vector (e.g., by 0.02 units) into its available space, directly clearing a path for the runt without the drastic topology change of a swap.\n\n3. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" (Lloyd's Relaxation)**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP optimization in the surgery loop. Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10%) towards the **centroid** of its Voronoi cell (`new_pos = 0.9 * pos + 0.1 * centroid`). This \"Lloyd's step\" homogenizes the cell shapes and redistributes free space more evenly, effectively resolving \"jammed\" configurations that gradient-based solvers (L-BFGS-B) cannot escape.\n\n4. **Temporary Boundary Expansion (\"Tunneling\")**\n To resolve ordering issues along the container walls, modify the `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `tunneling=True` flag during the \"Heat\" phase. When enabled, relax the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]`. This allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass one another, resolving local optima where circles are trapped against the wall, before the subsequent \"Cool\" phase forces them back into the valid unit square.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the lookahead acceptance criteria to value structural uniformity. Add a condition to accept a topological move if the **standard deviation of the radii** decreases by a significant margin (e.g., >10%), even if the total objective score drops slightly (e.g., < 0.001). Lower variance implies a more hexagonal-like, uniform structure, which is intrinsically more stable and less prone to the permanent \"runt\" jamming that limits the current generation." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Breathing Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Magma/Tunneling heuristics.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density) | The average number of other circles a given circle is touching or very close to (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage) | The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity - *Temporarily disabled for error diagnosis*) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing (can be negative, reflecting overlap/no void). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution - *Temporarily disabled for error diagnosis*) | The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_max_radius_growth_potential**: The maximum potential increase in radius for any single circle, assuming its center is fixed. (Component Contribution / Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_metric_error_message**: Provides the actual error message if metric calculation fails. (Diagnostic)\n- **aux_min_clearance_ratio**: The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle. A small ratio indicates a very tightly constrained circle. (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension) | The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle (now continuous, can be negative for overlaps). (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

These strategies aim to enhance the \"Slack-Aware\" logic and introduce controlled plasticity to resolve jamming.\n\n1. **Hybrid Logarithmic Barrier for Runt Inflation**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` objective function during the \"Heat\" phase to use a logarithmic potential specifically for the \"runt\" (smallest circle). Replace the power-law term (`-weight * r^0.5`) with a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`) for the identified runt index. The gradient of $\\ln(r)$ approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to wedge open space than the finite gradient of the current power law, effectively forcing neighbors to yield.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\" Move**\n Upgrade the current \"Jailbreak\" heuristic from a scalar slack check to a **vector-based displacement**. Instead of just swapping the runt with a high-slack neighbor, calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor (the weighted sum of vectors pointing toward its own neighbors where gaps exist). Introduce a new move type that physically shifts the jailor along this vector (e.g., by 0.02 units) into its available space, directly clearing a path for the runt without the drastic topology change of a swap.\n\n3. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" (Lloyd's Relaxation)**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP optimization in the surgery loop. Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10%) towards the **centroid** of its Voronoi cell (`new_pos = 0.9 * pos + 0.1 * centroid`). This \"Lloyd's step\" homogenizes the cell shapes and redistributes free space more evenly, effectively resolving \"jammed\" configurations that gradient-based solvers (L-BFGS-B) cannot escape.\n\n4. **Temporary Boundary Expansion (\"Tunneling\")**\n To resolve ordering issues along the container walls, modify the `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `tunneling=True` flag during the \"Heat\" phase. When enabled, relax the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]`. This allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass one another, resolving local optima where circles are trapped against the wall, before the subsequent \"Cool\" phase forces them back into the valid unit square.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the lookahead acceptance criteria to value structural uniformity. Add a condition to accept a topological move if the **standard deviation of the radii** decreases by a significant margin (e.g., >10%), even if the total objective score drops slightly (e.g., < 0.001). Lower variance implies a more hexagonal-like, uniform structure, which is intrinsically more stable and less prone to the permanent \"runt\" jamming that limits the current generation." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Breathing Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Magma/Tunneling heuristics.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density) | The average number of other circles a given circle is touching or very close to. (Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Constraint Tension / Leverage) | The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing (can be negative, reflecting overlap/no void). (Structural Sensitivity) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_max_radius_growth_potential**: The maximum potential increase in radius for any single circle, assuming its center is fixed. (Component Contribution / Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_clearance_ratio**: The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle (now continuous, can be negative for overlaps). (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension) | The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle. A small ratio indicates a very tightly constrained circle. (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs. (Constraint Tension)\n" + }, + { + "role": "assistant", + "content": "\nvariance_guided_surgery_and_shove_boost\n\n\n\n1. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**: Introduced a new acceptance criterion in the topological surgery phase. If a move significantly reduces the standard deviation of the radii (promoting uniformity, which is often key for N=26 packing efficiency) while maintaining a reasonable total score, it is accepted. This helps the solver escape local optima characterized by high radius disparity.\n2. **Random Void Move**: Added a heuristic to attempt moving a random non-runt circle to a void. This helps \"unlock\" jammed configurations where the runt cannot move but other circles can, creating space indirectly.\n3. **Boosted Shove Heuristic**: Increased the heuristic score for \"Jailor Shove\" moves to ensure they survive the beam search sort. Previously, they might be discarded because their immediate score (sum of radii) doesn't change before relaxation.\n4. **Tuned Breathing Schedule**: Increased the iterations of the \"Breathe\" phase (P=0.5) from 120 to 160 and increased the Magma Heat weight slightly (30 -> 40) to encourage more robust plastic deformation during surgery.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\n # Breathing Schedule\n # (Weight, Power, Iterations, RunSurgery)\n schedule = [\n (100.0, 2.0, 100, False), # Init\n (1e4, 1.0, 100, True), # Tighten 1\n (20.0, 0.5, 120, False), # Breathe (Deep, P=0.5)\n (1e3, 0.8, 80, False), # Transition\n (1e5, 1.0, 150, True), # Tighten 2\n (1e6, 1.0, 200, True) # Final Polish\n ]\n\n for stage_i, (w, p, it, run_surgery) in enumerate(schedule):\n # 1.

If a move significantly reduces the standard deviation of the radii (promoting uniformity, which is often key for N=26 packing efficiency) while maintaining a reasonable total score, it is accepted. This helps the solver escape local optima characterized by high radius disparity.\n2. **Random Void Move**: Added a heuristic to attempt moving a random non-runt circle to a void. This helps \"unlock\" jammed configurations where the runt cannot move but other circles can, creating space indirectly.\n3. **Boosted Shove Heuristic**: Increased the heuristic score for \"Jailor Shove\" moves to ensure they survive the beam search sort. Previously, they might be discarded because their immediate score (sum of radii) doesn't change before relaxation.\n4. **Tuned Breathing Schedule**: Increased the iterations of the \"Breathe\" phase (P=0.5) from 120 to 160 and increased the Magma Heat weight slightly (30 -> 40) to encourage more robust plastic deformation during surgery.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\n # Breathing Schedule\n # (Weight, Power, Iterations, RunSurgery)\n schedule = [\n (100.0, 2.0, 100, False), # Init\n (1e4, 1.0, 100, True), # Tighten 1\n (20.0, 0.5, 120, False), # Breathe (Deep, P=0.5)\n (1e3, 0.8, 80, False), # Transition\n (1e5, 1.0, 150, True), # Tighten 2\n (1e6, 1.0, 200, True) # Final Polish\n ]\n\n for stage_i, (w, p, it, run_surgery) in enumerate(schedule):\n # 1.

Stable numeric checks to avoid invalid overlap/out-of-bound states.\n\nBe creative but prioritize correctness and stable improvements.\n\nYou MUST repond using a edit name, description and the exact SEARCH/REPLACE diff format shown below to indicate changes:\n\n\nA shortened name summarizing the edit you are proposing.

These strategies aim to enhance the \"Slack-Aware\" logic and introduce controlled plasticity to resolve jamming.\n\n1. **Hybrid Logarithmic Barrier for Runt Inflation**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` objective function during the \"Heat\" phase to use a logarithmic potential specifically for the \"runt\" (smallest circle). Replace the power-law term (`-weight * r^0.5`) with a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`) for the identified runt index. The gradient of $\\ln(r)$ approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to wedge open space than the finite gradient of the current power law, effectively forcing neighbors to yield.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\" Move**\n Upgrade the current \"Jailbreak\" heuristic from a scalar slack check to a **vector-based displacement**. Instead of just swapping the runt with a high-slack neighbor, calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor (the weighted sum of vectors pointing toward its own neighbors where gaps exist). Introduce a new move type that physically shifts the jailor along this vector (e.g., by 0.02 units) into its available space, directly clearing a path for the runt without the drastic topology change of a swap.\n\n3. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" (Lloyd's Relaxation)**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP optimization in the surgery loop. Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10%) towards the **centroid** of its Voronoi cell (`new_pos = 0.9 * pos + 0.1 * centroid`). This \"Lloyd's step\" homogenizes the cell shapes and redistributes free space more evenly, effectively resolving \"jammed\" configurations that gradient-based solvers (L-BFGS-B) cannot escape.\n\n4. **Temporary Boundary Expansion (\"Tunneling\")**\n To resolve ordering issues along the container walls, modify the `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `tunneling=True` flag during the \"Heat\" phase. When enabled, relax the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]`. This allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass one another, resolving local optima where circles are trapped against the wall, before the subsequent \"Cool\" phase forces them back into the valid unit square.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the lookahead acceptance criteria to value structural uniformity. Add a condition to accept a topological move if the **standard deviation of the radii** decreases by a significant margin (e.g., >10%), even if the total objective score drops slightly (e.g., < 0.001). Lower variance implies a more hexagonal-like, uniform structure, which is intrinsically more stable and less prone to the permanent \"runt\" jamming that limits the current generation." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Breathing Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Magma/Tunneling heuristics.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density) | The average number of other circles a given circle is touching or very close to. (Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Constraint Tension / Leverage) | The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing (can be negative, reflecting overlap/no void). (Structural Sensitivity) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_max_radius_growth_potential**: The maximum potential increase in radius for any single circle, assuming its center is fixed. (Component Contribution / Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_clearance_ratio**: The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle (now continuous, can be negative for overlaps). (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension) | The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle. A small ratio indicates a very tightly constrained circle. (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

These strategies aim to enhance the \"Slack-Aware\" logic and introduce controlled plasticity to resolve jamming.\n\n1. **Hybrid Logarithmic Barrier for Runt Inflation**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` objective function during the \"Heat\" phase to use a logarithmic potential specifically for the \"runt\" (smallest circle). Replace the power-law term (`-weight * r^0.5`) with a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`) for the identified runt index. The gradient of $\\ln(r)$ approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to wedge open space than the finite gradient of the current power law, effectively forcing neighbors to yield.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\" Move**\n Upgrade the current \"Jailbreak\" heuristic from a scalar slack check to a **vector-based displacement**. Instead of just swapping the runt with a high-slack neighbor, calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor (the weighted sum of vectors pointing toward its own neighbors where gaps exist). Introduce a new move type that physically shifts the jailor along this vector (e.g., by 0.02 units) into its available space, directly clearing a path for the runt without the drastic topology change of a swap.\n\n3. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" (Lloyd's Relaxation)**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP optimization in the surgery loop. Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10%) towards the **centroid** of its Voronoi cell (`new_pos = 0.9 * pos + 0.1 * centroid`). This \"Lloyd's step\" homogenizes the cell shapes and redistributes free space more evenly, effectively resolving \"jammed\" configurations that gradient-based solvers (L-BFGS-B) cannot escape.\n\n4. **Temporary Boundary Expansion (\"Tunneling\")**\n To resolve ordering issues along the container walls, modify the `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `tunneling=True` flag during the \"Heat\" phase. When enabled, relax the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]`. This allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass one another, resolving local optima where circles are trapped against the wall, before the subsequent \"Cool\" phase forces them back into the valid unit square.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the lookahead acceptance criteria to value structural uniformity. Add a condition to accept a topological move if the **standard deviation of the radii** decreases by a significant margin (e.g., >10%), even if the total objective score drops slightly (e.g., < 0.001). Lower variance implies a more hexagonal-like, uniform structure, which is intrinsically more stable and less prone to the permanent \"runt\" jamming that limits the current generation." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Breathing Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Magma/Tunneling heuristics.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density) | The average number of other circles a given circle is touching or very close to. (Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Constraint Tension / Leverage) | The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing (can be negative, reflecting overlap/no void). (Structural Sensitivity) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_max_radius_growth_potential**: The maximum potential increase in radius for any single circle, assuming its center is fixed. (Component Contribution / Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_clearance_ratio**: The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle (now continuous, can be negative for overlaps). (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension) | The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle. A small ratio indicates a very tightly constrained circle. (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

These strategies aim to enhance the \"Slack-Aware\" logic and introduce controlled plasticity to resolve jamming.\n\n1. **Hybrid Logarithmic Barrier for Runt Inflation**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` objective function during the \"Heat\" phase to use a logarithmic potential specifically for the \"runt\" (smallest circle). Replace the power-law term (`-weight * r^0.5`) with a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`) for the identified runt index. The gradient of $\\ln(r)$ approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to wedge open space than the finite gradient of the current power law, effectively forcing neighbors to yield.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\" Move**\n Upgrade the current \"Jailbreak\" heuristic from a scalar slack check to a **vector-based displacement**. Instead of just swapping the runt with a high-slack neighbor, calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor (the weighted sum of vectors pointing toward its own neighbors where gaps exist). Introduce a new move type that physically shifts the jailor along this vector (e.g., by 0.02 units) into its available space, directly clearing a path for the runt without the drastic topology change of a swap.\n\n3. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" (Lloyd's Relaxation)**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP optimization in the surgery loop. Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10%) towards the **centroid** of its Voronoi cell (`new_pos = 0.9 * pos + 0.1 * centroid`). This \"Lloyd's step\" homogenizes the cell shapes and redistributes free space more evenly, effectively resolving \"jammed\" configurations that gradient-based solvers (L-BFGS-B) cannot escape.\n\n4. **Temporary Boundary Expansion (\"Tunneling\")**\n To resolve ordering issues along the container walls, modify the `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `tunneling=True` flag during the \"Heat\" phase. When enabled, relax the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]`. This allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass one another, resolving local optima where circles are trapped against the wall, before the subsequent \"Cool\" phase forces them back into the valid unit square.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the lookahead acceptance criteria to value structural uniformity. Add a condition to accept a topological move if the **standard deviation of the radii** decreases by a significant margin (e.g., >10%), even if the total objective score drops slightly (e.g., < 0.001).

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the evaluation of the current best program (Generation 9) and the global insights, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future mutations:\n\n1. **Implement Analytical Gradients for Phase 2 Optimization**\n The current program relies on `L-BFGS-B`'s numerical approximation for the variable-radius loss function, which is computationally expensive and less precise. You should derive and implement the exact Jacobian (gradient) for the objective `-sum(radii)` and the penalty terms (overlap and wall violations). This will provide the solver with precise directionality, leading to faster convergence and deeper local minima in the complex high-dimensional landscape.\n\n2. **Transfer Multiple Topologies (Top-K) to Phase 2**\n Currently, only the single best configuration from the equal-circle optimization (Phase 1) is used as a seed for the variable-radius phase. You should modify the workflow to pass the top 3 to 5 distinct local minima found in Phase 1 into Phase 2. The optimal topology for *equal* circles is not always the optimal starting basin for *variable* circles, and exploring multiple promising candidates increases the probability of finding a global maximum.\n\n3. **Adopt Dynamic Penalty Scheduling (Stiffness)**\n Instead of using a static high penalty weight (e.g., `w=1e5`) throughout the variable-radius optimization, implement a scheduling loop that gradually increases the weight (e.g., $10^2 \\to 10^4 \\to 10^7$). This allows the solver to traverse \"physically invalid\" states (overlapping circles) early in the process to reorganize the layout before strictly enforcing constraints, preventing the system from locking into suboptimal jammed states too early.\n\n4. **Integrate Basin Hopping for Variable Radii**\n Extend the Phase 2 optimization by wrapping the minimization in a \"Basin Hopping\" or \"Iterative Perturbation\" loop. After the solver converges, apply a small random perturbation to the centers and radii and re-minimize. This \"shake-and-relax\" strategy helps the system escape shallow local minima where small circles are trapped in inefficient gaps between larger ones.\n\n5. **Add Corner-Biased Initialization Heuristics**\n Optimal packings in square containers heavily utilize the corners to maximize space efficiency. Enhance the initialization set in Phase 1 by adding heuristic patterns that explicitly place circles deeply into the four corners of the unit square (e.g., at coordinates $(r,r), (1-r,r), \\dots$) before randomly or grid-filling the remaining space. This biases the search towards configurations that exploit the container's geometry more effectively than random or centered-hexagonal starts." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

These strategies aim to enhance the \"Slack-Aware\" logic and introduce controlled plasticity to resolve jamming.\n\n1. **Hybrid Logarithmic Barrier for Runt Inflation**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` objective function during the \"Heat\" phase to use a logarithmic potential specifically for the \"runt\" (smallest circle). Replace the power-law term (`-weight * r^0.5`) with a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`) for the identified runt index. The gradient of $\\ln(r)$ approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to wedge open space than the finite gradient of the current power law, effectively forcing neighbors to yield.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\" Move**\n Upgrade the current \"Jailbreak\" heuristic from a scalar slack check to a **vector-based displacement**. Instead of just swapping the runt with a high-slack neighbor, calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor (the weighted sum of vectors pointing toward its own neighbors where gaps exist). Introduce a new move type that physically shifts the jailor along this vector (e.g., by 0.02 units) into its available space, directly clearing a path for the runt without the drastic topology change of a swap.\n\n3. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" (Lloyd's Relaxation)**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP optimization in the surgery loop. Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle slightly (e.g., 5-10%) towards the **centroid** of its Voronoi cell (`new_pos = 0.9 * pos + 0.1 * centroid`). This \"Lloyd's step\" homogenizes the cell shapes and redistributes free space more evenly, effectively resolving \"jammed\" configurations that gradient-based solvers (L-BFGS-B) cannot escape.\n\n4. **Temporary Boundary Expansion (\"Tunneling\")**\n To resolve ordering issues along the container walls, modify the `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `tunneling=True` flag during the \"Heat\" phase. When enabled, relax the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]`. This allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass one another, resolving local optima where circles are trapped against the wall, before the subsequent \"Cool\" phase forces them back into the valid unit square.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the lookahead acceptance criteria to value structural uniformity. Add a condition to accept a topological move if the **standard deviation of the radii** decreases by a significant margin (e.g., >10%), even if the total objective score drops slightly (e.g., < 0.001). Lower variance implies a more hexagonal-like, uniform structure, which is intrinsically more stable and less prone to the permanent \"runt\" jamming that limits the current generation." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Breathing Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Magma/Tunneling heuristics.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density) | The average number of other circles a given circle is touching or very close to. (Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Constraint Tension / Leverage) | The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing (can be negative, reflecting overlap/no void). (Structural Sensitivity) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_max_radius_growth_potential**: The maximum potential increase in radius for any single circle, assuming its center is fixed. (Component Contribution / Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_clearance_ratio**: The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle (now continuous, can be negative for overlaps). (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension) | The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle. A small ratio indicates a very tightly constrained circle. (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

These recommendations aim to augment the successful \"slack-aware\" logic with improved continuous optimization techniques and geometric heuristics.\n\n1. **Hybrid Logarithmic Barrier for Runt Inflation**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to support a hybrid potential. During the \"Heat\" phase, instead of applying a weighted power law (`-weight * r^0.5`) to the runt, apply a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`). The gradient of the logarithm ($1/r$) approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to \"wedge\" open space for the smallest circle than the finite gradient of the current square-root power law.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\" Move**\n Expand the \"Jailbreak\" heuristic from a simple swap to a directional displacement. Calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor (the \"jailor\") by summing unit vectors pointing towards its other neighbors, weighted by the available gap size. Introduce a new move type `('shove', ...)` that displaces the jailor along this vector (e.g., by 0.02 units) rather than swapping it, effectively pushing it into its available free space to clear a path for the runt without altering the topological ordering.\n\n3. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" (Lloyd's Relaxation)**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP maximization in the surgery loop. Compute the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle towards the centroid of its Voronoi cell (e.g., `pos = 0.95 * pos + 0.05 * centroid`). This \"Lloyd's step\" homogenizes cell shapes and redistributes free space more evenly, helping the solver escape \"jammed\" configurations that gradient descent (L-BFGS-B) cannot resolve.\n\n4. **Temporary Boundary Expansion (\"Tunneling\")**\n To resolve ordering issues near the walls, modify `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `tunneling=True` flag. When enabled during the \"Heat\" phase of the lookahead, relax the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]`. This allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass each other, resolving local optima where circles are pinned against the wall, before the \"Cool\" phase enforces strict validity.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the lookahead acceptance criteria to value structural uniformity. Add a condition to accept a topological move if the **standard deviation of the radii** decreases by a significant margin (e.g., >10%), even if the total objective score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-4`). Lower variance implies a more regular, hexagonal-like lattice structure, which is intrinsically more stable and less prone to the permanent \"runt\" jamming that limits the current generation." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Breathing Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Magma/Tunneling heuristics.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density) | The average number of other circles a given circle is touching or very close to. (Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Constraint Tension / Leverage) | The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing (can be negative, reflecting overlap/no void). (Structural Sensitivity) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_max_radius_growth_potential**: The maximum potential increase in radius for any single circle, assuming its center is fixed. (Component Contribution / Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_metric_error_message**: Provides the actual error message if metric calculation fails. (Diagnostic)\n- **aux_min_clearance_ratio**: The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle (now continuous, can be negative for overlaps). (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension) | The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle. A small ratio indicates a very tightly constrained circle. (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

These recommendations aim to augment the successful \"slack-aware\" logic with improved continuous optimization techniques and geometric heuristics.\n\n1. **Hybrid Logarithmic Barrier for Runt Inflation**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to support a hybrid potential. During the \"Heat\" phase, instead of applying a weighted power law (`-weight * r^0.5`) to the runt, apply a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`). The gradient of the logarithm ($1/r$) approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to \"wedge\" open space for the smallest circle than the finite gradient of the current square-root power law.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\" Move**\n Expand the \"Jailbreak\" heuristic from a simple swap to a directional displacement. Calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor (the \"jailor\") by summing unit vectors pointing towards its other neighbors, weighted by the available gap size. Introduce a new move type `('shove', ...)` that displaces the jailor along this vector (e.g., by 0.02 units) rather than swapping it, effectively pushing it into its available free space to clear a path for the runt without altering the topological ordering.\n\n3. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" (Lloyd's Relaxation)**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP maximization in the surgery loop. Compute the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle towards the centroid of its Voronoi cell (e.g., `pos = 0.95 * pos + 0.05 * centroid`). This \"Lloyd's step\" homogenizes cell shapes and redistributes free space more evenly, helping the solver escape \"jammed\" configurations that gradient descent (L-BFGS-B) cannot resolve.\n\n4. **Temporary Boundary Expansion (\"Tunneling\")**\n To resolve ordering issues near the walls, modify `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `tunneling=True` flag. When enabled during the \"Heat\" phase of the lookahead, relax the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]`. This allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass each other, resolving local optima where circles are pinned against the wall, before the \"Cool\" phase enforces strict validity.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the lookahead acceptance criteria to value structural uniformity. Add a condition to accept a topological move if the **standard deviation of the radii** decreases by a significant margin (e.g., >10%), even if the total objective score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-4`). Lower variance implies a more regular, hexagonal-like lattice structure, which is intrinsically more stable and less prone to the permanent \"runt\" jamming that limits the current generation." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

These recommendations aim to augment the successful \"slack-aware\" logic with improved continuous optimization techniques and geometric heuristics.\n\n1. **Hybrid Logarithmic Barrier for Runt Inflation**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to support a hybrid potential. During the \"Heat\" phase, instead of applying a weighted power law (`-weight * r^0.5`) to the runt, apply a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`). The gradient of the logarithm ($1/r$) approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to \"wedge\" open space for the smallest circle than the finite gradient of the current square-root power law.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\" Move**\n Expand the \"Jailbreak\" heuristic from a simple swap to a directional displacement. Calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor (the \"jailor\") by summing unit vectors pointing towards its other neighbors, weighted by the available gap size. Introduce a new move type `('shove', ...)` that displaces the jailor along this vector (e.g., by 0.02 units) rather than swapping it, effectively pushing it into its available free space to clear a path for the runt without altering the topological ordering.\n\n3. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" (Lloyd's Relaxation)**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP maximization in the surgery loop. Compute the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle towards the centroid of its Voronoi cell (e.g., `pos = 0.95 * pos + 0.05 * centroid`). This \"Lloyd's step\" homogenizes cell shapes and redistributes free space more evenly, helping the solver escape \"jammed\" configurations that gradient descent (L-BFGS-B) cannot resolve.\n\n4. **Temporary Boundary Expansion (\"Tunneling\")**\n To resolve ordering issues near the walls, modify `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `tunneling=True` flag. When enabled during the \"Heat\" phase of the lookahead, relax the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]`. This allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass each other, resolving local optima where circles are pinned against the wall, before the \"Cool\" phase enforces strict validity.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the lookahead acceptance criteria to value structural uniformity. Add a condition to accept a topological move if the **standard deviation of the radii** decreases by a significant margin (e.g., >10%), even if the total objective score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-4`). Lower variance implies a more regular, hexagonal-like lattice structure, which is intrinsically more stable and less prone to the permanent \"runt\" jamming that limits the current generation." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Breathing Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Magma/Tunneling heuristics.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage) | The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing (can be negative, reflecting overlap/no void). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_max_radius_growth_potential**: The maximum potential increase in radius for any single circle, assuming its center is fixed. (Component Contribution / Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_min_clearance_ratio**: The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle. A small ratio indicates a very tightly constrained circle.

These recommendations aim to augment the successful \"slack-aware\" logic with improved continuous optimization techniques and geometric heuristics.\n\n1. **Hybrid Logarithmic Barrier for Runt Inflation**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to support a hybrid potential. During the \"Heat\" phase, instead of applying a weighted power law (`-weight * r^0.5`) to the runt, apply a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`). The gradient of the logarithm ($1/r$) approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to \"wedge\" open space for the smallest circle than the finite gradient of the current square-root power law.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\" Move**\n Expand the \"Jailbreak\" heuristic from a simple swap to a directional displacement. Calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor (the \"jailor\") by summing unit vectors pointing towards its other neighbors, weighted by the available gap size. Introduce a new move type `('shove', ...)` that displaces the jailor along this vector (e.g., by 0.02 units) rather than swapping it, effectively pushing it into its available free space to clear a path for the runt without altering the topological ordering.\n\n3. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" (Lloyd's Relaxation)**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP maximization in the surgery loop. Compute the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle towards the centroid of its Voronoi cell (e.g., `pos = 0.95 * pos + 0.05 * centroid`). This \"Lloyd's step\" homogenizes cell shapes and redistributes free space more evenly, helping the solver escape \"jammed\" configurations that gradient descent (L-BFGS-B) cannot resolve.\n\n4. **Temporary Boundary Expansion (\"Tunneling\")**\n To resolve ordering issues near the walls, modify `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `tunneling=True` flag. When enabled during the \"Heat\" phase of the lookahead, relax the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]`. This allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass each other, resolving local optima where circles are pinned against the wall, before the \"Cool\" phase enforces strict validity.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the lookahead acceptance criteria to value structural uniformity. Add a condition to accept a topological move if the **standard deviation of the radii** decreases by a significant margin (e.g., >10%), even if the total objective score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-4`). Lower variance implies a more regular, hexagonal-like lattice structure, which is intrinsically more stable and less prone to the permanent \"runt\" jamming that limits the current generation." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Breathing Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Magma/Tunneling heuristics.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density) | The average number of other circles a given circle is touching or very close to (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage) | The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing (can be negative, reflecting overlap/no void). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_max_radius_growth_potential**: The maximum potential increase in radius for any single circle, assuming its center is fixed. (Component Contribution / Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_min_clearance_ratio**: The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle. A small ratio indicates a very tightly constrained circle. (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension) | The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle (now continuous, can be negative for overlaps). (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

This allows the solver to accept moves that temporarily reduce the total sum of radii if they significantly improve the size of the smallest circle (runt), helping to escape jammed configurations where a small circle pins the packing.\n3.

These recommendations aim to augment the successful \"slack-aware\" logic with improved continuous optimization techniques and geometric heuristics.\n\n1. **Hybrid Logarithmic Barrier for Runt Inflation**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to support a hybrid potential. During the \"Heat\" phase, instead of applying a weighted power law (`-weight * r^0.5`) to the runt, apply a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`). The gradient of the logarithm ($1/r$) approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to \"wedge\" open space for the smallest circle than the finite gradient of the current square-root power law.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\" Move**\n Expand the \"Jailbreak\" heuristic from a simple swap to a directional displacement. Calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor (the \"jailor\") by summing unit vectors pointing towards its other neighbors, weighted by the available gap size. Introduce a new move type `('shove', ...)` that displaces the jailor along this vector (e.g., by 0.02 units) rather than swapping it, effectively pushing it into its available free space to clear a path for the runt without altering the topological ordering.\n\n3. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" (Lloyd's Relaxation)**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP maximization in the surgery loop. Compute the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle towards the centroid of its Voronoi cell (e.g., `pos = 0.95 * pos + 0.05 * centroid`). This \"Lloyd's step\" homogenizes cell shapes and redistributes free space more evenly, helping the solver escape \"jammed\" configurations that gradient descent (L-BFGS-B) cannot resolve.\n\n4. **Temporary Boundary Expansion (\"Tunneling\")**\n To resolve ordering issues near the walls, modify `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `tunneling=True` flag. When enabled during the \"Heat\" phase of the lookahead, relax the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]`. This allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass each other, resolving local optima where circles are pinned against the wall, before the \"Cool\" phase enforces strict validity.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the lookahead acceptance criteria to value structural uniformity. Add a condition to accept a topological move if the **standard deviation of the radii** decreases by a significant margin (e.g., >10%), even if the total objective score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-4`). Lower variance implies a more regular, hexagonal-like lattice structure, which is intrinsically more stable and less prone to the permanent \"runt\" jamming that limits the current generation." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Breathing Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Magma/Tunneling heuristics.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density) | The average number of other circles a given circle is touching or very close to (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage) | The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing (can be negative, reflecting overlap/no void). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_max_radius_growth_potential**: The maximum potential increase in radius for any single circle, assuming its center is fixed. (Component Contribution / Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_min_clearance_ratio**: The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle. A small ratio indicates a very tightly constrained circle. (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension) | The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle (now continuous, can be negative for overlaps). (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

Introduces \"Radial Explosion\" move in topological surgery: pushes all constraining neighbors (jailors) radially away from the runt simultaneously to create a cavity, allowing tunneling.\n2. Updates Beam Search acceptance criteria: adds a \"Runt Rescue Bonus\" to the evaluation score. This allows the solver to accept moves that temporarily reduce the total sum of radii if they significantly improve the size of the smallest circle (runt), helping to escape jammed configurations where a small circle pins the packing.\n3.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of the **Current Best Program (Gen 133)** and the performance plateau observed in recent batches, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future mutations. These recommendations aim to augment the successful \"slack-aware\" logic with improved continuous optimization techniques and geometric heuristics.\n\n1. **Hybrid Logarithmic Barrier for Runt Inflation**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to support a hybrid potential. During the \"Heat\" phase, instead of applying a weighted power law (`-weight * r^0.5`) to the runt, apply a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`). The gradient of the logarithm ($1/r$) approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to \"wedge\" open space for the smallest circle than the finite gradient of the current square-root power law.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\" Move**\n Expand the \"Jailbreak\" heuristic from a simple swap to a directional displacement. Calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor (the \"jailor\") by summing unit vectors pointing towards its other neighbors, weighted by the available gap size. Introduce a new move type `('shove', ...)` that displaces the jailor along this vector (e.g., by 0.02 units) rather than swapping it, effectively pushing it into its available free space to clear a path for the runt without altering the topological ordering.\n\n3. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" (Lloyd's Relaxation)**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP maximization in the surgery loop. Compute the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle towards the centroid of its Voronoi cell (e.g., `pos = 0.95 * pos + 0.05 * centroid`). This \"Lloyd's step\" homogenizes cell shapes and redistributes free space more evenly, helping the solver escape \"jammed\" configurations that gradient descent (L-BFGS-B) cannot resolve.\n\n4. **Temporary Boundary Expansion (\"Tunneling\")**\n To resolve ordering issues near the walls, modify `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `tunneling=True` flag. When enabled during the \"Heat\" phase of the lookahead, relax the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]`. This allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass each other, resolving local optima where circles are pinned against the wall, before the \"Cool\" phase enforces strict validity.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the lookahead acceptance criteria to value structural uniformity. Add a condition to accept a topological move if the **standard deviation of the radii** decreases by a significant margin (e.g., >10%), even if the total objective score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-4`). Lower variance implies a more regular, hexagonal-like lattice structure, which is intrinsically more stable and less prone to the permanent \"runt\" jamming that limits the current generation." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Breathing Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Magma/Tunneling heuristics.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density) | The average number of other circles a given circle is touching or very close to (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage) | The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing (can be negative, reflecting overlap/no void). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_max_radius_growth_potential**: The maximum potential increase in radius for any single circle, assuming its center is fixed. (Component Contribution / Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_min_clearance_ratio**: The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle. A small ratio indicates a very tightly constrained circle. (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension) | The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle (now continuous, can be negative for overlaps). (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs. (Constraint Tension)\n" + }, + { + "role": "assistant", + "content": "\nhydro_elastic_packer\n\n\n\nThis algorithm, \"Hydro-Elastic Packer\", introduces a hybrid loss function that combines standard power-law repulsion with a \"Magma\" logarithmic barrier potential (`-2.0 * log(r)`) specifically targeting the smallest \"runt\" circles. This creates a strong singularity at r=0, forcing runts to expand more aggressively than simple power laws. It also implements \"Tunneling\" bounds (`[-0.06, 1.06]`) during the high-temperature surgery phase, allowing circles to temporarily bypass boundary constraints to resolve topological jams. A new \"Vector-Guided Jailbreak\" move calculates a stress vector from the constraining neighbor (\"jailor\") and physically shoves it away, rather than just swapping positions. Finally, the acceptance criteria for surgery moves are variance-aware, favoring configurations with lower radius standard deviation to promote lattice regularity.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Elastic Packer (N=26).\nFeatures:\n1. Hydro-Elastic Loss: Combines soft power-law potentials with steep Logarithmic Barriers for runts (Magma).\n2. Permeable Boundary Tunneling: Temporarily relaxes wall constraints to [-0.05, 1.05] during surgery to unjam configurations.\n3. Vector-Guided Jailbreak: Displaces constraining neighbors away from runts using directed stress vectors.\n4. Variance-Aware Acceptance: Privileges configurations with lower radius variance to promote lattice regularity.\n\"\"\"\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(4242)\n\n # --- Phase 1: Topology Generation ---\n candidates = []\n seeds = []\n\n # 1.

This creates a strong singularity at r=0, forcing runts to expand more aggressively than simple power laws. It also implements \"Tunneling\" bounds (`[-0.06, 1.06]`) during the high-temperature surgery phase, allowing circles to temporarily bypass boundary constraints to resolve topological jams. A new \"Vector-Guided Jailbreak\" move calculates a stress vector from the constraining neighbor (\"jailor\") and physically shoves it away, rather than just swapping positions. Finally, the acceptance criteria for surgery moves are variance-aware, favoring configurations with lower radius standard deviation to promote lattice regularity.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Elastic Packer (N=26).\nFeatures:\n1.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of the **Current Best Program (Gen 133)** and the performance plateau observed in recent batches, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future mutations. These recommendations aim to augment the successful \"slack-aware\" logic with improved continuous optimization techniques and geometric heuristics.\n\n1. **Hybrid Logarithmic Barrier for Runt Inflation**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to support a hybrid potential. During the \"Heat\" phase, instead of applying a weighted power law (`-weight * r^0.5`) to the runt, apply a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`). The gradient of the logarithm ($1/r$) approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to \"wedge\" open space for the smallest circle than the finite gradient of the current square-root power law.\n\n2. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\" Move**\n Expand the \"Jailbreak\" heuristic from a simple swap to a directional displacement. Calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor (the \"jailor\") by summing unit vectors pointing towards its other neighbors, weighted by the available gap size. Introduce a new move type `('shove', ...)` that displaces the jailor along this vector (e.g., by 0.02 units) rather than swapping it, effectively pushing it into its available free space to clear a path for the runt without altering the topological ordering.\n\n3. **Voronoi Centroid \"Rattle\" (Lloyd's Relaxation)**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP maximization in the surgery loop. Compute the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle towards the centroid of its Voronoi cell (e.g., `pos = 0.95 * pos + 0.05 * centroid`). This \"Lloyd's step\" homogenizes cell shapes and redistributes free space more evenly, helping the solver escape \"jammed\" configurations that gradient descent (L-BFGS-B) cannot resolve.\n\n4. **Temporary Boundary Expansion (\"Tunneling\")**\n To resolve ordering issues near the walls, modify `run_hydro_stage` to accept a `tunneling=True` flag. When enabled during the \"Heat\" phase of the lookahead, relax the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]`. This allows peripheral circles to momentarily slide \"out of bounds\" to bypass each other, resolving local optima where circles are pinned against the wall, before the \"Cool\" phase enforces strict validity.\n\n5. **Variance-Weighted Move Acceptance**\n Broaden the lookahead acceptance criteria to value structural uniformity. Add a condition to accept a topological move if the **standard deviation of the radii** decreases by a significant margin (e.g., >10%), even if the total objective score drops slightly (e.g., within `1e-4`). Lower variance implies a more regular, hexagonal-like lattice structure, which is intrinsically more stable and less prone to the permanent \"runt\" jamming that limits the current generation." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Breathing Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Magma/Tunneling heuristics.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage) | The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing (can be negative, reflecting overlap/no void). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_max_radius_growth_potential**: The maximum potential increase in radius for any single circle, assuming its center is fixed. (Component Contribution / Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_min_clearance_ratio**: The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle. A small ratio indicates a very tightly constrained circle. (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension) | The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle (now continuous, can be negative for overlaps). (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing.

You should derive and implement the exact Jacobian (gradient) for the objective `-sum(radii)` and the penalty terms (overlap and wall violations). This will provide the solver with precise directionality, leading to faster convergence and deeper local minima in the complex high-dimensional landscape.\n\n2. **Transfer Multiple Topologies (Top-K) to Phase 2**\n Currently, only the single best configuration from the equal-circle optimization (Phase 1) is used as a seed for the variable-radius phase. You should modify the workflow to pass the top 3 to 5 distinct local minima found in Phase 1 into Phase 2. The optimal topology for *equal* circles is not always the optimal starting basin for *variable* circles, and exploring multiple promising candidates increases the probability of finding a global maximum.\n\n3. **Adopt Dynamic Penalty Scheduling (Stiffness)**\n Instead of using a static high penalty weight (e.g., `w=1e5`) throughout the variable-radius optimization, implement a scheduling loop that gradually increases the weight (e.g., $10^2 \\to 10^4 \\to 10^7$). This allows the solver to traverse \"physically invalid\" states (overlapping circles) early in the process to reorganize the layout before strictly enforcing constraints, preventing the system from locking into suboptimal jammed states too early.\n\n4. **Integrate Basin Hopping for Variable Radii**\n Extend the Phase 2 optimization by wrapping the minimization in a \"Basin Hopping\" or \"Iterative Perturbation\" loop. After the solver converges, apply a small random perturbation to the centers and radii and re-minimize. This \"shake-and-relax\" strategy helps the system escape shallow local minima where small circles are trapped in inefficient gaps between larger ones.\n\n5. **Add Corner-Biased Initialization Heuristics**\n Optimal packings in square containers heavily utilize the corners to maximize space efficiency. Enhance the initialization set in Phase 1 by adding heuristic patterns that explicitly place circles deeply into the four corners of the unit square (e.g., at coordinates $(r,r), (1-r,r), \\dots$) before randomly or grid-filling the remaining space. This biases the search towards configurations that exploit the container's geometry more effectively than random or centered-hexagonal starts." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nTwo-phase optimization for circle packing: \n1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of the **Current Best Program (Gen 133)** and the successful \"Tunneling\" heuristics seen in the recent batch (Gen 184, 189), here are 5 actionable recommendations for future mutations. These recommendations focus on merging the superior \"Slack\" targeting of Gen 133 with the robust \"Tunneling\" and continuous optimization mechanics of the recent batch winners.\n\n1. **Slack-Guided \"Tunneling\" Integration**\n Merge the Current Best's `slack` logic with the recent batch's `tunneling`. In the `run_hydro_stage` function, add a `tunneling=True` parameter that expands the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]` during the \"Heat\" phase. Apply this specifically when manipulating the \"Jailor\" identified by the slack metric, allowing that neighbor to temporarily step out of bounds to unblock the runt, rather than relying solely on internal compression.\n\n2. **Logarithmic Barrier \"Wedge\" Potential**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to support a logarithmic objective for the runt circle. Instead of applying the current power law (`-weight * r^0.5`), apply a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`). The gradient of the logarithm ($1/r$) approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to \"wedge\" open space for the smallest circle than the finite gradient of the square-root function.\n\n3. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\"**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" move to use the slack information for displacement rather than just selection. Calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor by summing unit vectors pointing towards *its* gaps. Introduce a `'shove'` move that displaces the jailor along this vector (e.g., `pos += vector * 0.05`) without swapping indices. This allows the algorithm to exploit the available slack mechanically without disrupting the global topology via a full swap.\n\n4. **Voronoi Centroid Relaxation (\"Lloyd's Step\")**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP maximization in the surgery loop. Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle towards the centroid of its Voronoi cell (e.g., `pos = 0.9 * pos + 0.1 * centroid`). This homogenizes the cell shapes and redistributes free space, helping the solver escape the \"jammed\" local optima that characterize the current 2.630 plateau.\n\n5. **Asymmetric Repulsive Force Field**\n Enhance the \"Heat\" phase by introducing asymmetric repulsion weights in `hydro_loss`. Currently, the program weights the *radius objective*. Add a mechanism to weight the *overlap penalty* such that the \"runt\" circle exerts $2.0\\times$ the repulsive force on its neighbors than they exert on each other. This creates a virtual \"force field\" around the runt, actively pushing neighbors away during gradient descent, complementing the radius expansion pressure." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Breathing Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Magma/Tunneling heuristics.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density) | The average number of other circles a given circle is touching or very close to (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage) | The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing (can be negative, reflecting overlap/no void). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_max_radius_growth_potential**: The maximum potential increase in radius for any single circle, assuming its center is fixed. (Component Contribution / Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_min_clearance_ratio**: The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle. A small ratio indicates a very tightly constrained circle. (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension) | The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle (now continuous, can be negative for overlaps). (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

These recommendations focus on merging the superior \"Slack\" targeting of Gen 133 with the robust \"Tunneling\" and continuous optimization mechanics of the recent batch winners.\n\n1. **Slack-Guided \"Tunneling\" Integration**\n Merge the Current Best's `slack` logic with the recent batch's `tunneling`. In the `run_hydro_stage` function, add a `tunneling=True` parameter that expands the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]` during the \"Heat\" phase. Apply this specifically when manipulating the \"Jailor\" identified by the slack metric, allowing that neighbor to temporarily step out of bounds to unblock the runt, rather than relying solely on internal compression.\n\n2. **Logarithmic Barrier \"Wedge\" Potential**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to support a logarithmic objective for the runt circle. Instead of applying the current power law (`-weight * r^0.5`), apply a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`). The gradient of the logarithm ($1/r$) approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to \"wedge\" open space for the smallest circle than the finite gradient of the square-root function.\n\n3. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\"**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" move to use the slack information for displacement rather than just selection. Calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor by summing unit vectors pointing towards *its* gaps. Introduce a `'shove'` move that displaces the jailor along this vector (e.g., `pos += vector * 0.05`) without swapping indices. This allows the algorithm to exploit the available slack mechanically without disrupting the global topology via a full swap.\n\n4. **Voronoi Centroid Relaxation (\"Lloyd's Step\")**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP maximization in the surgery loop. Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle towards the centroid of its Voronoi cell (e.g., `pos = 0.9 * pos + 0.1 * centroid`). This homogenizes the cell shapes and redistributes free space, helping the solver escape the \"jammed\" local optima that characterize the current 2.630 plateau.\n\n5. **Asymmetric Repulsive Force Field**\n Enhance the \"Heat\" phase by introducing asymmetric repulsion weights in `hydro_loss`. Currently, the program weights the *radius objective*. Add a mechanism to weight the *overlap penalty* such that the \"runt\" circle exerts $2.0\\times$ the repulsive force on its neighbors than they exert on each other. This creates a virtual \"force field\" around the runt, actively pushing neighbors away during gradient descent, complementing the radius expansion pressure." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Breathing Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Magma/Tunneling heuristics.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Constraint Tension / Leverage) | The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing (can be negative, reflecting overlap/no void). (Structural Sensitivity) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_max_radius_growth_potential**: The maximum potential increase in radius for any single circle, assuming its center is fixed. (Component Contribution / Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_clearance_ratio**: The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle (now continuous, can be negative for overlaps). (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension) | The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle. A small ratio indicates a very tightly constrained circle. (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries.

These recommendations focus on merging the superior \"Slack\" targeting of Gen 133 with the robust \"Tunneling\" and continuous optimization mechanics of the recent batch winners.\n\n1. **Slack-Guided \"Tunneling\" Integration**\n Merge the Current Best's `slack` logic with the recent batch's `tunneling`. In the `run_hydro_stage` function, add a `tunneling=True` parameter that expands the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]` during the \"Heat\" phase. Apply this specifically when manipulating the \"Jailor\" identified by the slack metric, allowing that neighbor to temporarily step out of bounds to unblock the runt, rather than relying solely on internal compression.\n\n2. **Logarithmic Barrier \"Wedge\" Potential**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to support a logarithmic objective for the runt circle. Instead of applying the current power law (`-weight * r^0.5`), apply a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`). The gradient of the logarithm ($1/r$) approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to \"wedge\" open space for the smallest circle than the finite gradient of the square-root function.\n\n3. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\"**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" move to use the slack information for displacement rather than just selection. Calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor by summing unit vectors pointing towards *its* gaps. Introduce a `'shove'` move that displaces the jailor along this vector (e.g., `pos += vector * 0.05`) without swapping indices. This allows the algorithm to exploit the available slack mechanically without disrupting the global topology via a full swap.\n\n4. **Voronoi Centroid Relaxation (\"Lloyd's Step\")**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP maximization in the surgery loop. Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle towards the centroid of its Voronoi cell (e.g., `pos = 0.9 * pos + 0.1 * centroid`). This homogenizes the cell shapes and redistributes free space, helping the solver escape the \"jammed\" local optima that characterize the current 2.630 plateau.\n\n5. **Asymmetric Repulsive Force Field**\n Enhance the \"Heat\" phase by introducing asymmetric repulsion weights in `hydro_loss`. Currently, the program weights the *radius objective*. Add a mechanism to weight the *overlap penalty* such that the \"runt\" circle exerts $2.0\\times$ the repulsive force on its neighbors than they exert on each other.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density) | The average number of other circles a given circle is touching or very close to (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage) | The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity - *Temporarily disabled for error diagnosis*) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing (can be negative, reflecting overlap/no void). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution) | The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution - *Temporarily disabled for error diagnosis*)\n- **aux_max_radius_growth_potential**: The maximum potential increase in radius for any single circle, assuming its center is fixed. (Component Contribution / Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_metric_error_message**: Provides the actual error message if metric calculation fails. (Diagnostic)\n- **aux_min_clearance_ratio**: The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle. A small ratio indicates a very tightly constrained circle. (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension) | The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle (now continuous, can be negative for overlaps). (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries.

These recommendations focus on merging the superior \"Slack\" targeting of Gen 133 with the robust \"Tunneling\" and continuous optimization mechanics of the recent batch winners.\n\n1. **Slack-Guided \"Tunneling\" Integration**\n Merge the Current Best's `slack` logic with the recent batch's `tunneling`. In the `run_hydro_stage` function, add a `tunneling=True` parameter that expands the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]` during the \"Heat\" phase. Apply this specifically when manipulating the \"Jailor\" identified by the slack metric, allowing that neighbor to temporarily step out of bounds to unblock the runt, rather than relying solely on internal compression.\n\n2. **Logarithmic Barrier \"Wedge\" Potential**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to support a logarithmic objective for the runt circle. Instead of applying the current power law (`-weight * r^0.5`), apply a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`). The gradient of the logarithm ($1/r$) approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to \"wedge\" open space for the smallest circle than the finite gradient of the square-root function.\n\n3. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\"**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" move to use the slack information for displacement rather than just selection. Calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor by summing unit vectors pointing towards *its* gaps. Introduce a `'shove'` move that displaces the jailor along this vector (e.g., `pos += vector * 0.05`) without swapping indices. This allows the algorithm to exploit the available slack mechanically without disrupting the global topology via a full swap.\n\n4. **Voronoi Centroid Relaxation (\"Lloyd's Step\")**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP maximization in the surgery loop. Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle towards the centroid of its Voronoi cell (e.g., `pos = 0.9 * pos + 0.1 * centroid`). This homogenizes the cell shapes and redistributes free space, helping the solver escape the \"jammed\" local optima that characterize the current 2.630 plateau.\n\n5. **Asymmetric Repulsive Force Field**\n Enhance the \"Heat\" phase by introducing asymmetric repulsion weights in `hydro_loss`. Currently, the program weights the *radius objective*. Add a mechanism to weight the *overlap penalty* such that the \"runt\" circle exerts $2.0\\times$ the repulsive force on its neighbors than they exert on each other. This creates a virtual \"force field\" around the runt, actively pushing neighbors away during gradient descent, complementing the radius expansion pressure." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Breathing Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Magma/Tunneling heuristics.\nFeatures:\n1.

These recommendations focus on merging the superior \"Slack\" targeting of Gen 133 with the robust \"Tunneling\" and continuous optimization mechanics of the recent batch winners.\n\n1. **Slack-Guided \"Tunneling\" Integration**\n Merge the Current Best's `slack` logic with the recent batch's `tunneling`. In the `run_hydro_stage` function, add a `tunneling=True` parameter that expands the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]` during the \"Heat\" phase. Apply this specifically when manipulating the \"Jailor\" identified by the slack metric, allowing that neighbor to temporarily step out of bounds to unblock the runt, rather than relying solely on internal compression.\n\n2. **Logarithmic Barrier \"Wedge\" Potential**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to support a logarithmic objective for the runt circle. Instead of applying the current power law (`-weight * r^0.5`), apply a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`). The gradient of the logarithm ($1/r$) approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to \"wedge\" open space for the smallest circle than the finite gradient of the square-root function.\n\n3. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\"**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" move to use the slack information for displacement rather than just selection. Calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor by summing unit vectors pointing towards *its* gaps. Introduce a `'shove'` move that displaces the jailor along this vector (e.g., `pos += vector * 0.05`) without swapping indices. This allows the algorithm to exploit the available slack mechanically without disrupting the global topology via a full swap.\n\n4. **Voronoi Centroid Relaxation (\"Lloyd's Step\")**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP maximization in the surgery loop. Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle towards the centroid of its Voronoi cell (e.g., `pos = 0.9 * pos + 0.1 * centroid`). This homogenizes the cell shapes and redistributes free space, helping the solver escape the \"jammed\" local optima that characterize the current 2.630 plateau.\n\n5. **Asymmetric Repulsive Force Field**\n Enhance the \"Heat\" phase by introducing asymmetric repulsion weights in `hydro_loss`. Currently, the program weights the *radius objective*. Add a mechanism to weight the *overlap penalty* such that the \"runt\" circle exerts $2.0\\times$ the repulsive force on its neighbors than they exert on each other. This creates a virtual \"force field\" around the runt, actively pushing neighbors away during gradient descent, complementing the radius expansion pressure." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density) | The average number of other circles a given circle is touching or very close to (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage) | The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity - *Temporarily disabled for error diagnosis*) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing (can be negative, reflecting overlap/no void). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution) | The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution - *Temporarily disabled for error diagnosis*)\n- **aux_max_radius_growth_potential**: The maximum potential increase in radius for any single circle, assuming its center is fixed. (Component Contribution / Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_metric_error_message**: Provides the actual error message if metric calculation fails. (Diagnostic)\n- **aux_min_clearance_ratio**: The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle. A small ratio indicates a very tightly constrained circle. (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension) | The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle (now continuous, can be negative for overlaps). (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of the **Current Best Program (Gen 133)** and the successful \"Tunneling\" heuristics seen in the recent batch (Gen 184, 189), here are 5 actionable recommendations for future mutations. These recommendations focus on merging the superior \"Slack\" targeting of Gen 133 with the robust \"Tunneling\" and continuous optimization mechanics of the recent batch winners.\n\n1. **Slack-Guided \"Tunneling\" Integration**\n Merge the Current Best's `slack` logic with the recent batch's `tunneling`. In the `run_hydro_stage` function, add a `tunneling=True` parameter that expands the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]` during the \"Heat\" phase. Apply this specifically when manipulating the \"Jailor\" identified by the slack metric, allowing that neighbor to temporarily step out of bounds to unblock the runt, rather than relying solely on internal compression.\n\n2. **Logarithmic Barrier \"Wedge\" Potential**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to support a logarithmic objective for the runt circle. Instead of applying the current power law (`-weight * r^0.5`), apply a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`). The gradient of the logarithm ($1/r$) approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to \"wedge\" open space for the smallest circle than the finite gradient of the square-root function.\n\n3. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\"**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" move to use the slack information for displacement rather than just selection. Calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor by summing unit vectors pointing towards *its* gaps. Introduce a `'shove'` move that displaces the jailor along this vector (e.g., `pos += vector * 0.05`) without swapping indices. This allows the algorithm to exploit the available slack mechanically without disrupting the global topology via a full swap.\n\n4. **Voronoi Centroid Relaxation (\"Lloyd's Step\")**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP maximization in the surgery loop. Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle towards the centroid of its Voronoi cell (e.g., `pos = 0.9 * pos + 0.1 * centroid`). This homogenizes the cell shapes and redistributes free space, helping the solver escape the \"jammed\" local optima that characterize the current 2.630 plateau.\n\n5. **Asymmetric Repulsive Force Field**\n Enhance the \"Heat\" phase by introducing asymmetric repulsion weights in `hydro_loss`. Currently, the program weights the *radius objective*. Add a mechanism to weight the *overlap penalty* such that the \"runt\" circle exerts $2.0\\times$ the repulsive force on its neighbors than they exert on each other. This creates a virtual \"force field\" around the runt, actively pushing neighbors away during gradient descent, complementing the radius expansion pressure." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Breathing Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Magma/Tunneling heuristics.\nFeatures:\n1.

These recommendations focus on merging the superior \"Slack\" targeting of Gen 133 with the robust \"Tunneling\" and continuous optimization mechanics of the recent batch winners.\n\n1. **Slack-Guided \"Tunneling\" Integration**\n Merge the Current Best's `slack` logic with the recent batch's `tunneling`. In the `run_hydro_stage` function, add a `tunneling=True` parameter that expands the optimization bounds from `[(0, 1)]` to `[(-0.05, 1.05)]` during the \"Heat\" phase. Apply this specifically when manipulating the \"Jailor\" identified by the slack metric, allowing that neighbor to temporarily step out of bounds to unblock the runt, rather than relying solely on internal compression.\n\n2. **Logarithmic Barrier \"Wedge\" Potential**\n Modify the `hydro_loss` function to support a logarithmic objective for the runt circle. Instead of applying the current power law (`-weight * r^0.5`), apply a logarithmic barrier (`-weight * np.log(r)`). The gradient of the logarithm ($1/r$) approaches infinity as $r \\to 0$, providing a much stronger, singularity-driven force to \"wedge\" open space for the smallest circle than the finite gradient of the square-root function.\n\n3. **Vector-Directed \"Jailor Shove\"**\n Refine the \"Jailbreak\" move to use the slack information for displacement rather than just selection. Calculate a \"slack vector\" for the constraining neighbor by summing unit vectors pointing towards *its* gaps. Introduce a `'shove'` move that displaces the jailor along this vector (e.g., `pos += vector * 0.05`) without swapping indices. This allows the algorithm to exploit the available slack mechanically without disrupting the global topology via a full swap.\n\n4. **Voronoi Centroid Relaxation (\"Lloyd's Step\")**\n Insert a geometric regularization step immediately before the LP maximization in the surgery loop. Calculate the Voronoi diagram of the current centers and nudge every circle towards the centroid of its Voronoi cell (e.g., `pos = 0.9 * pos + 0.1 * centroid`). This homogenizes the cell shapes and redistributes free space, helping the solver escape the \"jammed\" local optima that characterize the current 2.630 plateau.\n\n5. **Asymmetric Repulsive Force Field**\n Enhance the \"Heat\" phase by introducing asymmetric repulsion weights in `hydro_loss`. Currently, the program weights the *radius objective*. Add a mechanism to weight the *overlap penalty* such that the \"runt\" circle exerts $2.0\\times$ the repulsive force on its neighbors than they exert on each other. This creates a virtual \"force field\" around the runt, actively pushing neighbors away during gradient descent, complementing the radius expansion pressure." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMagma Breathing Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Magma/Tunneling heuristics.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density) | The average number of other circles a given circle is touching or very close to. (Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square (now uses epsilon for fuzziness). (Constraint Tension / Leverage) | The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing (can be negative, reflecting overlap/no void). (Structural Sensitivity) | The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_max_radius_growth_potential**: The maximum potential increase in radius for any single circle, assuming its center is fixed. (Component Contribution / Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_min_clearance_ratio**: The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle (now continuous, can be negative for overlaps). (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension) | The minimum ratio of clearance to radius for any circle. A small ratio indicates a very tightly constrained circle. (Structural Sensitivity / Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries.

Closer neighbors are pushed harder (inverse gap weighting) rather than a fixed shove, creating more precise cavities for the runt circle.\n2. **IPP Relaxation (Global Geometric Shake)**: Introduced a new move type 'ipp_relax' during topological surgery. This runs a short minimization of the Inverse Power Potential (pure repulsion) on the current centers. This acts as a global \"shake\" that homogenizes the local density and aspect ratios of the packing, helping to escape \"jammed\" local optima that local swaps cannot resolve.\n3. **Stronger Asymmetric Repulsion**: Increased the repulsive force weight for the focus circle (runt) from 2.5 to 4.0 in the `loss_variable_radii` function.

You should derive and implement the exact Jacobian (gradient) for the objective `-sum(radii)` and the penalty terms (overlap and wall violations). This will provide the solver with precise directionality, leading to faster convergence and deeper local minima in the complex high-dimensional landscape.\n\n2. **Transfer Multiple Topologies (Top-K) to Phase 2**\n Currently, only the single best configuration from the equal-circle optimization (Phase 1) is used as a seed for the variable-radius phase. You should modify the workflow to pass the top 3 to 5 distinct local minima found in Phase 1 into Phase 2. The optimal topology for *equal* circles is not always the optimal starting basin for *variable* circles, and exploring multiple promising candidates increases the probability of finding a global maximum.\n\n3. **Adopt Dynamic Penalty Scheduling (Stiffness)**\n Instead of using a static high penalty weight (e.g., `w=1e5`) throughout the variable-radius optimization, implement a scheduling loop that gradually increases the weight (e.g., $10^2 \\to 10^4 \\to 10^7$). This allows the solver to traverse \"physically invalid\" states (overlapping circles) early in the process to reorganize the layout before strictly enforcing constraints, preventing the system from locking into suboptimal jammed states too early.\n\n4. **Integrate Basin Hopping for Variable Radii**\n Extend the Phase 2 optimization by wrapping the minimization in a \"Basin Hopping\" or \"Iterative Perturbation\" loop. After the solver converges, apply a small random perturbation to the centers and radii and re-minimize. This \"shake-and-relax\" strategy helps the system escape shallow local minima where small circles are trapped in inefficient gaps between larger ones.\n\n5. **Add Corner-Biased Initialization Heuristics**\n Optimal packings in square containers heavily utilize the corners to maximize space efficiency. Enhance the initialization set in Phase 1 by adding heuristic patterns that explicitly place circles deeply into the four corners of the unit square (e.g., at coordinates $(r,r), (1-r,r), \\dots$) before randomly or grid-filling the remaining space.

It employs diversity-enhancing initialization heuristics (Grid, Hexagonal, Corner-biased, and Random) and minimizes an inverse-power potential energy ($1/r^k$) to find high-quality packing topologies. It retains the Top-K (4) distinct configurations instead of just the best one, as different starting topologies can lead to better variable-radius solutions.\n2. **Phase 2 (Variable Radius Relaxation):** For each of the Top-K topologies, it relaxes the equal-radius constraint. It uses `L-BFGS-B` to minimize a loss function composed of the negative sum of radii plus penalty terms for overlaps and wall violations. It employs a **stiffness scheduling** approach, gradually increasing the penalty weights ($10^2 \\to 10^6$) to guide the solver from coarse arrangements to strictly valid packings.\n3. **Basin Hopping (Jitter):** After the initial relaxation, it applies a perturbation (\"jitter\") to the centers and radii and re-optimizes with high stiffness. This helps the system escape shallow local minima where small circles might be trapped.\n4. **Exact Gradients:** It implements the analytical Jacobian for the variable-radius loss function, ensuring precise and efficient descent directions for the solver.\n5. **Strict Validation:** Finally, `compute_max_radii` is used to ensure the returned solution strictly satisfies all disjointness and boundary constraints by iteratively resolving any remaining micro-overlaps.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nTwo-phase optimization for circle packing with Top-K topology transfer and basin hopping.\n\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n Strategies:\n 1.

It employs diversity-enhancing initialization heuristics (Grid, Hexagonal, Corner-biased, and Random) and minimizes an inverse-power potential energy ($1/r^k$) to find high-quality packing topologies. It retains the Top-K (4) distinct configurations instead of just the best one, as different starting topologies can lead to better variable-radius solutions.\n2. **Phase 2 (Variable Radius Relaxation):** For each of the Top-K topologies, it relaxes the equal-radius constraint. It uses `L-BFGS-B` to minimize a loss function composed of the negative sum of radii plus penalty terms for overlaps and wall violations. It employs a **stiffness scheduling** approach, gradually increasing the penalty weights ($10^2 \\to 10^6$) to guide the solver from coarse arrangements to strictly valid packings.\n3. **Basin Hopping (Jitter):** After the initial relaxation, it applies a perturbation (\"jitter\") to the centers and radii and re-optimizes with high stiffness. This helps the system escape shallow local minima where small circles might be trapped.\n4. **Exact Gradients:** It implements the analytical Jacobian for the variable-radius loss function, ensuring precise and efficient descent directions for the solver.\n5. **Strict Validation:** Finally, `compute_max_radii` is used to ensure the returned solution strictly satisfies all disjointness and boundary constraints by iteratively resolving any remaining micro-overlaps.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nTwo-phase optimization for circle packing with Top-K topology transfer and basin hopping.\n\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n Strategies:\n 1.

However, the best topology for equal circles is not necessarily the best starting point for variable circles. You should modify the workflow to propagate the top 3-5 distinct local minima from Phase 1 into Phase 2. This increases the diversity of the search basins for the variable-radius relaxation.\n\n2. **Implement Corner-Biased Initialization**\n Optimal packings in square containers invariably utilize the corners efficiently. Enhance the seeding strategy in Phase 1 by adding specific initialization patterns where four circles are explicitly placed at the exact corners $(0,0), (1,0), (0,1), (1,1)$ with the remaining circles distributed randomly or in a hexagonal lattice. This biases the optimization towards configurations that exploit the container's geometry from the start.\n\n3. **Apply \"Symmetry Breaking\" Objective Function**\n To prevent the solver from settling into a local minimum of medium-sized circles, modify the Phase 2 loss function to maximize the sum of squared radii ($-\\sum r^2$) during the early, low-stiffness stages. This convex objective encourages size disparity (some circles growing much larger than others) and breaks the symmetry of the grid-like initial configurations. Switch back to the linear objective ($-\\sum r$) for the final high-stiffness polishing steps.\n\n4. **Inter-Stage Perturbation (Shake-and-Relax)**\n The current stiffness schedule monotonically increases penalties, which can trap the system in early contact networks. Introduce a perturbation step between the weight increases in Phase 2 (e.g., between $w=10^3$ and $w=10^4$). Apply small Gaussian noise to the centers and radii and re-minimize at the current weight before increasing it. This \"thermal\" jiggle allows the system to overcome shallow barriers and rearrange contacts before they harden.\n\n5. **\"Smallest-Circle\" Relocation Heuristic**\n Often, the final score is limited by a single \"runt\" circle trapped in a suboptimal void. Implement a post-optimization heuristic: identify the circle with the smallest radius after Phase 2, temporarily remove it, run a short relaxation to let the other circles expand, and then re-insert the removed circle into the largest available void (calculated via a grid scan or Voronoi vertices). This allows the algorithm to correct bad topological placement of the least efficient particle." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Lower is better for efficient packing.\n" + }, + { + "role": "assistant", + "content": "To improve the circle packing performance, I will implement two key changes inspired by the recommendations and expert heuristics:\n\n1. **Symmetry Breaking via Loss Function**: In Phase 2, instead of minimizing $-\\sum r_i$ (linear sum), I will start by minimizing $-\\sum r_i^p$ with $p=2$. This \"sum of squares\" objective rewards increasing the size of larger circles even if smaller circles must shrink, helping to break out of uniform-grid local minima. The optimization schedule will transition from $p=2$ to $p=1$ (linear) to optimize the final metric.\n\n2. **Relocation Heuristic (\"Smallest Circle Relocation\")**: Often, the packing is limited by a single \"runt\" circle trapped in a small void. I will add a step after the main optimization schedule that:\n * Identifies the circle with the smallest radius.\n * Temporarily removes it.\n * Scans the unit square (using Monte Carlo sampling) to find the largest available void given the other fixed circles.\n * Moves the small circle to this new location and re-optimizes.\n\nThis targeted perturbation allows the topology to change more aggressively than simple coordinate jittering.\n\nHere are the edits:\n\n\nphase2_relocation_and_power_loss\n\n\n\n1. Modify Phase 2 optimization to support a generalized loss function $-\\sum r^p$. Using $p=2$ in early stages breaks symmetry and encourages size disparity.\n2. Introduce a \"Relocation Heuristic\": after the main optimization schedule, identify the circle with the smallest radius, remove it, find the largest available void in the container using Monte Carlo sampling, and place the circle there.\n3. Update the stiffness schedule to include power scaling ($p=2 \\to p=1$).\n4.

However, the best topology for equal circles is not necessarily the best starting point for variable circles. You should modify the workflow to propagate the top 3-5 distinct local minima from Phase 1 into Phase 2. This increases the diversity of the search basins for the variable-radius relaxation.\n\n2. **Implement Corner-Biased Initialization**\n Optimal packings in square containers invariably utilize the corners efficiently. Enhance the seeding strategy in Phase 1 by adding specific initialization patterns where four circles are explicitly placed at the exact corners $(0,0), (1,0), (0,1), (1,1)$ with the remaining circles distributed randomly or in a hexagonal lattice. This biases the optimization towards configurations that exploit the container's geometry from the start.\n\n3. **Apply \"Symmetry Breaking\" Objective Function**\n To prevent the solver from settling into a local minimum of medium-sized circles, modify the Phase 2 loss function to maximize the sum of squared radii ($-\\sum r^2$) during the early, low-stiffness stages. This convex objective encourages size disparity (some circles growing much larger than others) and breaks the symmetry of the grid-like initial configurations. Switch back to the linear objective ($-\\sum r$) for the final high-stiffness polishing steps.\n\n4. **Inter-Stage Perturbation (Shake-and-Relax)**\n The current stiffness schedule monotonically increases penalties, which can trap the system in early contact networks. Introduce a perturbation step between the weight increases in Phase 2 (e.g., between $w=10^3$ and $w=10^4$). Apply small Gaussian noise to the centers and radii and re-minimize at the current weight before increasing it. This \"thermal\" jiggle allows the system to overcome shallow barriers and rearrange contacts before they harden.\n\n5. **\"Smallest-Circle\" Relocation Heuristic**\n Often, the final score is limited by a single \"runt\" circle trapped in a suboptimal void. Implement a post-optimization heuristic: identify the circle with the smallest radius after Phase 2, temporarily remove it, run a short relaxation to let the other circles expand, and then re-insert the removed circle into the largest available void (calculated via a grid scan or Voronoi vertices). This allows the algorithm to correct bad topological placement of the least efficient particle." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

This \"sum of squares\" objective rewards increasing the size of larger circles even if smaller circles must shrink, helping to break out of uniform-grid local minima. The optimization schedule will transition from $p=2$ to $p=1$ (linear) to optimize the final metric.\n\n2. **Relocation Heuristic (\"Smallest Circle Relocation\")**: Often, the packing is limited by a single \"runt\" circle trapped in a small void. I will add a step after the main optimization schedule that:\n * Identifies the circle with the smallest radius.\n * Temporarily removes it.\n * Scans the unit square (using Monte Carlo sampling) to find the largest available void given the other fixed circles.\n * Moves the small circle to this new location and re-optimizes.\n\nThis targeted perturbation allows the topology to change more aggressively than simple coordinate jittering.\n\nHere are the edits:\n\n\nphase2_relocation_and_power_loss\n\n\n\n1. Modify Phase 2 optimization to support a generalized loss function $-\\sum r^p$. Using $p=2$ in early stages breaks symmetry and encourages size disparity.\n2. Introduce a \"Relocation Heuristic\": after the main optimization schedule, identify the circle with the smallest radius, remove it, find the largest available void in the container using Monte Carlo sampling, and place the circle there.\n3.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of the current best program (Generation 14) and the successful \"Decoupled Topology and Geometry\" pattern, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future mutations:\n\n1. **Transfer Multiple Topologies (Top-K) to Phase 2**\n The current program discards valid Phase 1 results, keeping only the single best \"equal circle\" configuration. However, the best topology for equal circles is not necessarily the best starting point for variable circles. You should modify the workflow to propagate the top 3-5 distinct local minima from Phase 1 into Phase 2. This increases the diversity of the search basins for the variable-radius relaxation.\n\n2. **Implement Corner-Biased Initialization**\n Optimal packings in square containers invariably utilize the corners efficiently. Enhance the seeding strategy in Phase 1 by adding specific initialization patterns where four circles are explicitly placed at the exact corners $(0,0), (1,0), (0,1), (1,1)$ with the remaining circles distributed randomly or in a hexagonal lattice. This biases the optimization towards configurations that exploit the container's geometry from the start.\n\n3. **Apply \"Symmetry Breaking\" Objective Function**\n To prevent the solver from settling into a local minimum of medium-sized circles, modify the Phase 2 loss function to maximize the sum of squared radii ($-\\sum r^2$) during the early, low-stiffness stages. This convex objective encourages size disparity (some circles growing much larger than others) and breaks the symmetry of the grid-like initial configurations. Switch back to the linear objective ($-\\sum r$) for the final high-stiffness polishing steps.\n\n4. **Inter-Stage Perturbation (Shake-and-Relax)**\n The current stiffness schedule monotonically increases penalties, which can trap the system in early contact networks. Introduce a perturbation step between the weight increases in Phase 2 (e.g., between $w=10^3$ and $w=10^4$). Apply small Gaussian noise to the centers and radii and re-minimize at the current weight before increasing it. This \"thermal\" jiggle allows the system to overcome shallow barriers and rearrange contacts before they harden.\n\n5. **\"Smallest-Circle\" Relocation Heuristic**\n Often, the final score is limited by a single \"runt\" circle trapped in a suboptimal void. Implement a post-optimization heuristic: identify the circle with the smallest radius after Phase 2, temporarily remove it, run a short relaxation to let the other circles expand, and then re-insert the removed circle into the largest available void (calculated via a grid scan or Voronoi vertices). This allows the algorithm to correct bad topological placement of the least efficient particle." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Topological Search: Generates diverse starting configurations using random, grid, and boundary-biased seeds, optimizing them as equal circles under a soft potential.\n2. Symmetry Breaking Relaxation: Promotes variable radii by initially maximizing the sum of squared radii ($\\sum r^2$) to encourage size disparity, before switching to the linear objective ($\\sum r$).\n3. Runt Relocation: A specialized heuristic that identifies the \"bottleneck\" circle (smallest radius) in a packed configuration, temporarily removes it to allow neighbors to relax and expand, then re-inserts the circle into the largest available void found via Monte Carlo sampling.\n4.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of the current best program (Generation 14) and the successful \"Decoupled Topology and Geometry\" pattern, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future mutations:\n\n1. **Transfer Multiple Topologies (Top-K) to Phase 2**\n The current program discards valid Phase 1 results, keeping only the single best \"equal circle\" configuration. However, the best topology for equal circles is not necessarily the best starting point for variable circles. You should modify the workflow to propagate the top 3-5 distinct local minima from Phase 1 into Phase 2. This increases the diversity of the search basins for the variable-radius relaxation.\n\n2. **Implement Corner-Biased Initialization**\n Optimal packings in square containers invariably utilize the corners efficiently. Enhance the seeding strategy in Phase 1 by adding specific initialization patterns where four circles are explicitly placed at the exact corners $(0,0), (1,0), (0,1), (1,1)$ with the remaining circles distributed randomly or in a hexagonal lattice. This biases the optimization towards configurations that exploit the container's geometry from the start.\n\n3. **Apply \"Symmetry Breaking\" Objective Function**\n To prevent the solver from settling into a local minimum of medium-sized circles, modify the Phase 2 loss function to maximize the sum of squared radii ($-\\sum r^2$) during the early, low-stiffness stages. This convex objective encourages size disparity (some circles growing much larger than others) and breaks the symmetry of the grid-like initial configurations. Switch back to the linear objective ($-\\sum r$) for the final high-stiffness polishing steps.\n\n4. **Inter-Stage Perturbation (Shake-and-Relax)**\n The current stiffness schedule monotonically increases penalties, which can trap the system in early contact networks. Introduce a perturbation step between the weight increases in Phase 2 (e.g., between $w=10^3$ and $w=10^4$). Apply small Gaussian noise to the centers and radii and re-minimize at the current weight before increasing it. This \"thermal\" jiggle allows the system to overcome shallow barriers and rearrange contacts before they harden.\n\n5. **\"Smallest-Circle\" Relocation Heuristic**\n Often, the final score is limited by a single \"runt\" circle trapped in a suboptimal void. Implement a post-optimization heuristic: identify the circle with the smallest radius after Phase 2, temporarily remove it, run a short relaxation to let the other circles expand, and then re-insert the removed circle into the largest available void (calculated via a grid scan or Voronoi vertices). This allows the algorithm to correct bad topological placement of the least efficient particle." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nTwo-phase optimization for circle packing: \n1.

Uniquely, it retains the top-K distinct topologies rather than just the single best, recognizing that the optimal equal-circle topology may not map to the optimal variable-circle topology.\nPhase 2 (Relaxation) performs variable-radius optimization on these candidates. It employs a penalty method with stiffness scheduling and analytical gradients.

Uniquely, it retains the top-K distinct topologies rather than just the single best, recognizing that the optimal equal-circle topology may not map to the optimal variable-circle topology.\nPhase 2 (Relaxation) performs variable-radius optimization on these candidates. It employs a penalty method with stiffness scheduling and analytical gradients. Crucially, it introduces a 'perturb-and-relax' step between stiffness increases to allow the system to escape shallow local minima associated with contact network formation.\nThe final radii are computed using a rigorous iterative scaling procedure to ensure strictly disjoint circles within the unit square.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nMulti-Topology Variable Radius Optimization for Circle Packing\n1.

However, the best topology for equal circles is not necessarily the best starting point for variable circles. You should modify the workflow to propagate the top 3-5 distinct local minima from Phase 1 into Phase 2. This increases the diversity of the search basins for the variable-radius relaxation.\n\n2. **Implement Corner-Biased Initialization**\n Optimal packings in square containers invariably utilize the corners efficiently. Enhance the seeding strategy in Phase 1 by adding specific initialization patterns where four circles are explicitly placed at the exact corners $(0,0), (1,0), (0,1), (1,1)$ with the remaining circles distributed randomly or in a hexagonal lattice. This biases the optimization towards configurations that exploit the container's geometry from the start.\n\n3. **Apply \"Symmetry Breaking\" Objective Function**\n To prevent the solver from settling into a local minimum of medium-sized circles, modify the Phase 2 loss function to maximize the sum of squared radii ($-\\sum r^2$) during the early, low-stiffness stages. This convex objective encourages size disparity (some circles growing much larger than others) and breaks the symmetry of the grid-like initial configurations. Switch back to the linear objective ($-\\sum r$) for the final high-stiffness polishing steps.\n\n4. **Inter-Stage Perturbation (Shake-and-Relax)**\n The current stiffness schedule monotonically increases penalties, which can trap the system in early contact networks. Introduce a perturbation step between the weight increases in Phase 2 (e.g., between $w=10^3$ and $w=10^4$). Apply small Gaussian noise to the centers and radii and re-minimize at the current weight before increasing it. This \"thermal\" jiggle allows the system to overcome shallow barriers and rearrange contacts before they harden.\n\n5. **\"Smallest-Circle\" Relocation Heuristic**\n Often, the final score is limited by a single \"runt\" circle trapped in a suboptimal void. Implement a post-optimization heuristic: identify the circle with the smallest radius after Phase 2, temporarily remove it, run a short relaxation to let the other circles expand, and then re-insert the removed circle into the largest available void (calculated via a grid scan or Voronoi vertices). This allows the algorithm to correct bad topological placement of the least efficient particle." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Lower is better for efficient packing.\n" + }, + { + "role": "assistant", + "content": "To improve the performance of the circle packing program, I propose two coordinated edits.\n\n1. **Iterative Relocation Heuristic**: The previous code attempted to move the single \"worst\" circle (smallest radius) to a new location once. This update introduces an iterative loop that tries to improve the packing up to 5 times. If a relocation succeeds (increases the total radius sum), the improved configuration becomes the baseline for the next iteration. Crucially, I've added a mini stiffness schedule (starting with low weight `w=100` before ramping to `w=1e7`) for the re-optimization step. This \"soft start\" allows the newly placed circle to push its neighbors aside gently to fit in, rather than being immediately penalized into a tiny size by a hard constraint.\n\n2. **Robust Void Finding**: The efficacy of the relocation heuristic depends entirely on finding the true largest void. The previous Monte Carlo implementation was purely random and could miss the optimal spot. I have upgraded `find_largest_void` to:\n * Use `scipy.spatial.distance.cdist` for efficient distance computation.\n * Increase sample count to 10,000.\n * Apply a local optimization step using `Nelder-Mead` (which handles the non-smooth `min` function well) to refine the best random sample into the precise local maximum of the clearance function.\n\nThese changes directly target local optima where one or two circles are \"squeezed\" out, a common failure mode in maximizing the sum of radii.\n\n\nimports_and_utils\n\n\nAdd cdist to imports for efficient distance calculation.

This update introduces an iterative loop that tries to improve the packing up to 5 times. If a relocation succeeds (increases the total radius sum), the improved configuration becomes the baseline for the next iteration. Crucially, I've added a mini stiffness schedule (starting with low weight `w=100` before ramping to `w=1e7`) for the re-optimization step. This \"soft start\" allows the newly placed circle to push its neighbors aside gently to fit in, rather than being immediately penalized into a tiny size by a hard constraint.\n\n2. **Robust Void Finding**: The efficacy of the relocation heuristic depends entirely on finding the true largest void. The previous Monte Carlo implementation was purely random and could miss the optimal spot. I have upgraded `find_largest_void` to:\n * Use `scipy.spatial.distance.cdist` for efficient distance computation.\n * Increase sample count to 10,000.\n * Apply a local optimization step using `Nelder-Mead` (which handles the non-smooth `min` function well) to refine the best random sample into the precise local maximum of the clearance function.\n\nThese changes directly target local optima where one or two circles are \"squeezed\" out, a common failure mode in maximizing the sum of radii.\n\n\nimports_and_utils\n\n\nAdd cdist to imports for efficient distance calculation.

This update introduces an iterative loop that tries to improve the packing up to 5 times. If a relocation succeeds (increases the total radius sum), the improved configuration becomes the baseline for the next iteration. Crucially, I've added a mini stiffness schedule (starting with low weight `w=100` before ramping to `w=1e7`) for the re-optimization step. This "soft start" allows the newly placed circle to push its neighbors aside gently to fit in, rather than being immediately penalized into a tiny size by a hard constraint. + +2. **Robust Void Finding**: The efficacy of the relocation heuristic depends entirely on finding the true largest void.

However, the best topology for equal circles is not necessarily the best starting point for variable circles. You should modify the workflow to propagate the top 3-5 distinct local minima from Phase 1 into Phase 2. This increases the diversity of the search basins for the variable-radius relaxation.\n\n2. **Implement Corner-Biased Initialization**\n Optimal packings in square containers invariably utilize the corners efficiently. Enhance the seeding strategy in Phase 1 by adding specific initialization patterns where four circles are explicitly placed at the exact corners $(0,0), (1,0), (0,1), (1,1)$ with the remaining circles distributed randomly or in a hexagonal lattice. This biases the optimization towards configurations that exploit the container's geometry from the start.\n\n3. **Apply \"Symmetry Breaking\" Objective Function**\n To prevent the solver from settling into a local minimum of medium-sized circles, modify the Phase 2 loss function to maximize the sum of squared radii ($-\\sum r^2$) during the early, low-stiffness stages. This convex objective encourages size disparity (some circles growing much larger than others) and breaks the symmetry of the grid-like initial configurations. Switch back to the linear objective ($-\\sum r$) for the final high-stiffness polishing steps.\n\n4. **Inter-Stage Perturbation (Shake-and-Relax)**\n The current stiffness schedule monotonically increases penalties, which can trap the system in early contact networks. Introduce a perturbation step between the weight increases in Phase 2 (e.g., between $w=10^3$ and $w=10^4$). Apply small Gaussian noise to the centers and radii and re-minimize at the current weight before increasing it. This \"thermal\" jiggle allows the system to overcome shallow barriers and rearrange contacts before they harden.\n\n5. **\"Smallest-Circle\" Relocation Heuristic**\n Often, the final score is limited by a single \"runt\" circle trapped in a suboptimal void. Implement a post-optimization heuristic: identify the circle with the smallest radius after Phase 2, temporarily remove it, run a short relaxation to let the other circles expand, and then re-insert the removed circle into the largest available void (calculated via a grid scan or Voronoi vertices). This allows the algorithm to correct bad topological placement of the least efficient particle." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

The vertices of the Voronoi diagram (filtered to be inside the container) are mathematically guaranteed to be the centers of the largest possible empty circles. This ensures the relocation heuristic always finds the global maximum void for the runt circle, eliminating the randomness and inefficiency of sampling.\n\n2. **Topological Swap Heuristic**\n Implement a \"Swap-and-Relax\" operation within Phase 2. Randomly select the \"runt\" circle and swap its center coordinates with a larger circle (or swap two random circles), then run a short gradient relaxation. Continuous optimization cannot easily move a circle \"through\" another to fix a bad topological ordering (e.g., a small circle blocking a corner); this discrete mutation directly addresses that limitation.\n\n3. **Multi-Path \"Look-Ahead\" Relocation**\n Modify the relocation heuristic to not just greedy-pick the single largest void, but to evaluate the top $K$ (e.g., 3) distinct voids. Create temporary branches where the runt is placed in each candidate void, perform a quick partial relaxation, and commit to the branch that yields the highest Linear Programming score. This prevents the algorithm from choosing a void that is large initially but geometrically constrains further expansion.\n\n4. **Cluster-Based Relocation**\n Extend the \"Runt Relocation\" to handle local jams where a single removal isn't enough. If moving the runt alone yields no improvement, identify the runt and its immediate contacting neighbors (the \"jammed cluster\"), remove *all* of them, relax the remaining circles to close the gap, and then re-insert the removed circles sequentially into the new largest voids.\n\n5. **Adaptive Basin Hopping Temperature**\n Update the final perturbation phase to use an adaptive noise level rather than a fixed standard deviation (currently `0.01`). Implement a mechanism where the perturbation magnitude increases if the previous attempt failed to improve the score (to escape deep local minima) and decreases upon success (to refine the new basin). This balances the need for structural reconfiguration with the precision required for dense packing." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity.

The vertices of the Voronoi diagram (filtered to be inside the container) are mathematically guaranteed to be the centers of the largest possible empty circles. This ensures the relocation heuristic always finds the global maximum void for the runt circle, eliminating the randomness and inefficiency of sampling.\n\n2. **Topological Swap Heuristic**\n Implement a \"Swap-and-Relax\" operation within Phase 2. Randomly select the \"runt\" circle and swap its center coordinates with a larger circle (or swap two random circles), then run a short gradient relaxation. Continuous optimization cannot easily move a circle \"through\" another to fix a bad topological ordering (e.g., a small circle blocking a corner); this discrete mutation directly addresses that limitation.\n\n3. **Multi-Path \"Look-Ahead\" Relocation**\n Modify the relocation heuristic to not just greedy-pick the single largest void, but to evaluate the top $K$ (e.g., 3) distinct voids. Create temporary branches where the runt is placed in each candidate void, perform a quick partial relaxation, and commit to the branch that yields the highest Linear Programming score. This prevents the algorithm from choosing a void that is large initially but geometrically constrains further expansion.\n\n4. **Cluster-Based Relocation**\n Extend the \"Runt Relocation\" to handle local jams where a single removal isn't enough. If moving the runt alone yields no improvement, identify the runt and its immediate contacting neighbors (the \"jammed cluster\"), remove *all* of them, relax the remaining circles to close the gap, and then re-insert the removed circles sequentially into the new largest voids.\n\n5. **Adaptive Basin Hopping Temperature**\n Update the final perturbation phase to use an adaptive noise level rather than a fixed standard deviation (currently `0.01`). Implement a mechanism where the perturbation magnitude increases if the previous attempt failed to improve the score (to escape deep local minima) and decreases upon success (to refine the new basin). This balances the need for structural reconfiguration with the precision required for dense packing." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

The vertices of the Voronoi diagram (filtered to be inside the container) are mathematically guaranteed to be the centers of the largest possible empty circles. This ensures the relocation heuristic always finds the global maximum void for the runt circle, eliminating the randomness and inefficiency of sampling.\n\n2. **Topological Swap Heuristic**\n Implement a \"Swap-and-Relax\" operation within Phase 2. Randomly select the \"runt\" circle and swap its center coordinates with a larger circle (or swap two random circles), then run a short gradient relaxation. Continuous optimization cannot easily move a circle \"through\" another to fix a bad topological ordering (e.g., a small circle blocking a corner); this discrete mutation directly addresses that limitation.\n\n3. **Multi-Path \"Look-Ahead\" Relocation**\n Modify the relocation heuristic to not just greedy-pick the single largest void, but to evaluate the top $K$ (e.g., 3) distinct voids. Create temporary branches where the runt is placed in each candidate void, perform a quick partial relaxation, and commit to the branch that yields the highest Linear Programming score. This prevents the algorithm from choosing a void that is large initially but geometrically constrains further expansion.\n\n4. **Cluster-Based Relocation**\n Extend the \"Runt Relocation\" to handle local jams where a single removal isn't enough. If moving the runt alone yields no improvement, identify the runt and its immediate contacting neighbors (the \"jammed cluster\"), remove *all* of them, relax the remaining circles to close the gap, and then re-insert the removed circles sequentially into the new largest voids.\n\n5. **Adaptive Basin Hopping Temperature**\n Update the final perturbation phase to use an adaptive noise level rather than a fixed standard deviation (currently `0.01`). Implement a mechanism where the perturbation magnitude increases if the previous attempt failed to improve the score (to escape deep local minima) and decreases upon success (to refine the new basin). This balances the need for structural reconfiguration with the precision required for dense packing." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity.

The vertices of the Voronoi diagram (filtered to be inside the container) are mathematically guaranteed to be the centers of the largest possible empty circles. This ensures the relocation heuristic always finds the global maximum void for the runt circle, eliminating the randomness and inefficiency of sampling.\n\n2. **Topological Swap Heuristic**\n Implement a \"Swap-and-Relax\" operation within Phase 2. Randomly select the \"runt\" circle and swap its center coordinates with a larger circle (or swap two random circles), then run a short gradient relaxation. Continuous optimization cannot easily move a circle \"through\" another to fix a bad topological ordering (e.g., a small circle blocking a corner); this discrete mutation directly addresses that limitation.\n\n3. **Multi-Path \"Look-Ahead\" Relocation**\n Modify the relocation heuristic to not just greedy-pick the single largest void, but to evaluate the top $K$ (e.g., 3) distinct voids. Create temporary branches where the runt is placed in each candidate void, perform a quick partial relaxation, and commit to the branch that yields the highest Linear Programming score. This prevents the algorithm from choosing a void that is large initially but geometrically constrains further expansion.\n\n4. **Cluster-Based Relocation**\n Extend the \"Runt Relocation\" to handle local jams where a single removal isn't enough. If moving the runt alone yields no improvement, identify the runt and its immediate contacting neighbors (the \"jammed cluster\"), remove *all* of them, relax the remaining circles to close the gap, and then re-insert the removed circles sequentially into the new largest voids.\n\n5. **Adaptive Basin Hopping Temperature**\n Update the final perturbation phase to use an adaptive noise level rather than a fixed standard deviation (currently `0.01`). Implement a mechanism where the perturbation magnitude increases if the previous attempt failed to improve the score (to escape deep local minima) and decreases upon success (to refine the new basin). This balances the need for structural reconfiguration with the precision required for dense packing." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nTwo-phase optimization for circle packing: \n1.

Additionally, the Phase 1 topology search is enhanced with a hexagonal seed pattern to promote better initial configurations.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(42)\n\n # --- PHASE 1: Topology Search (Equal Radii) ---\n # Find centers maximizing minimum distance via inverse power potential E = sum(1/dist^k).\n\n best_phase1_centers = None\n best_phase1_min_dist = -1.0\n\n # Seeds: Grid (Corner-biased) and Random\n # Grid: 5x5 grid spanning 0 to 1 includes corners\n g = np.linspace(0, 1, 5)\n GX, GY = np.meshgrid(g, g)\n grid_points = np.column_stack([GX.ravel(), GY.ravel()]) # 25 points\n # 26th point in center\n start_grid = np.vstack([grid_points, [0.5, 0.5]])\n\n seeds = [start_grid]\n for _ in range(3):\n seeds.append(np.random.rand(n, 2))\n\n bounds_phase1 = [(0, 1)] * (2 * n)\n\n for start_points in seeds:\n current_x = start_points.flatten()\n\n # Staged optimization (Soft -> Hard repulsion)\n for k_pow in [2, 10, 40]:\n res = minimize(\n fun=equal_circle_potential,\n x0=current_x,\n args=(k_pow,),\n method='L-BFGS-B',\n jac=equal_circle_grad,\n bounds=bounds_phase1,\n options={'ftol': 1e-4, 'maxiter': 300}\n )\n current_x = res.x\n\n centers = current_x.reshape((n, 2))\n dists = pdist(centers)\n min_d = np.min(dists) if len(dists) > 0 else 0\n\n if min_d > best_phase1_min_dist:\n best_phase1_min_dist = min_d\n best_phase1_centers = centers\n\n # --- PHASE 2: Variable Radius Relaxation ---\n # Use the best topology as starting point.\n\n # Initial radii: slightly smaller than max equal packing to give room\n # If points were mapped to unit square, max r ~= min_dist / 2 (ignoring walls)\n # But we want to allow inequality.\n r_init = (best_phase1_min_dist / 2.0) * 0.9\n radii_start = np.full(n, r_init)\n\n # Perturb radii slightly to break symmetry and encourage variable solutions\n radii_start *= np.random.uniform(0.95, 1.05, size=n)\n\n # Parameters: [x1, y1, ..., xn, yn, r1, ..., rn]\n params0 = np.concatenate([best_phase1_centers.flatten(), radii_start])\n\n # Bounds: centers in [0,1], radii in [epsilon, 0.5]\n bounds_params = [(0, 1)] * (2 * n) + [(1e-5, 0.5)] * n\n\n # Stiffness scheduling\n current_params = params0\n weights = [10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000]\n\n for w in weights:\n res = minimize(\n fun=variable_packing_loss,\n x0=current_params,\n args=(n, w),\n method='L-BFGS-B',\n jac=variable_packing_jac,\n bounds=bounds_params,\n options={'ftol': 1e-5, 'maxiter': 800}\n )\n current_params = res.x\n\n # Extract results\n final_centers = current_params[:2*n].reshape((n, 2))\n final_radii_opt = current_params[2*n:]\n\n # Final strict validation and maximization\n final_radii = compute_max_radii(final_centers, final_radii_opt)\n\n return final_centers, final_radii\n=======\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n Incorporates topology search, variable radius relaxation, and runt relocation.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(42)\n\n # --- Helper: Void Search ---\n def find_void(centers, radii, n_samples=3000):\n # Sample points\n samples = np.random.rand(n_samples, 2)\n # Dist to walls\n d_walls = np.minimum(samples, 1 - samples)\n min_d_walls = np.min(d_walls, axis=1)\n # Dist to circles\n diff = samples[:, np.newaxis, :] - centers[np.newaxis, :, :]\n dists = np.sqrt(np.sum(diff**2, axis=2))\n clearances = dists - radii[np.newaxis, :]\n min_clearance = np.min(clearances, axis=1)\n # Max feasible radius\n feasible = np.minimum(min_d_walls, min_clearance)\n idx = np.argmax(feasible)\n return samples[idx], feasible[idx]\n\n # --- PHASE 1: Topology Search (Equal Radii) ---\n best_phase1_centers = None\n best_phase1_min_dist = -1.0\n\n seeds = []\n # 1.

The vertices of the Voronoi diagram (filtered to be inside the container) are mathematically guaranteed to be the centers of the largest possible empty circles. This ensures the relocation heuristic always finds the global maximum void for the runt circle, eliminating the randomness and inefficiency of sampling.\n\n2. **Topological Swap Heuristic**\n Implement a \"Swap-and-Relax\" operation within Phase 2. Randomly select the \"runt\" circle and swap its center coordinates with a larger circle (or swap two random circles), then run a short gradient relaxation. Continuous optimization cannot easily move a circle \"through\" another to fix a bad topological ordering (e.g., a small circle blocking a corner); this discrete mutation directly addresses that limitation.\n\n3. **Multi-Path \"Look-Ahead\" Relocation**\n Modify the relocation heuristic to not just greedy-pick the single largest void, but to evaluate the top $K$ (e.g., 3) distinct voids. Create temporary branches where the runt is placed in each candidate void, perform a quick partial relaxation, and commit to the branch that yields the highest Linear Programming score. This prevents the algorithm from choosing a void that is large initially but geometrically constrains further expansion.\n\n4. **Cluster-Based Relocation**\n Extend the \"Runt Relocation\" to handle local jams where a single removal isn't enough. If moving the runt alone yields no improvement, identify the runt and its immediate contacting neighbors (the \"jammed cluster\"), remove *all* of them, relax the remaining circles to close the gap, and then re-insert the removed circles sequentially into the new largest voids.\n\n5. **Adaptive Basin Hopping Temperature**\n Update the final perturbation phase to use an adaptive noise level rather than a fixed standard deviation (currently `0.01`). Implement a mechanism where the perturbation magnitude increases if the previous attempt failed to improve the score (to escape deep local minima) and decreases upon success (to refine the new basin). This balances the need for structural reconfiguration with the precision required for dense packing." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n" + }, + { + "role": "assistant", + "content": "\nvoronoi_voids_and_adaptive_bh\n\n\n\n1. Replaced the Monte Carlo-based void finding (`find_best_voids`) with a deterministic approach using `scipy.spatial.Voronoi` vertices combined with boundary sampling. This ensures that the algorithm considers the mathematically optimal locations for new circles (Voronoi vertices) and edge-cases (boundaries/corners), improving the \"Runt Relocation\" heuristic's effectiveness.\n2. Updated the Basin Hopping phase in `construct_packing` to use an adaptive perturbation strategy.

Replaced the Monte Carlo-based void finding (`find_best_voids`) with a deterministic approach using `scipy.spatial.Voronoi` vertices combined with boundary sampling. This ensures that the algorithm considers the mathematically optimal locations for new circles (Voronoi vertices) and edge-cases (boundaries/corners), improving the \"Runt Relocation\" heuristic's effectiveness.\n2. Updated the Basin Hopping phase in `construct_packing` to use an adaptive perturbation strategy. If a perturbation fails to improve the score, the noise level is increased to help escape the local minimum; if it succeeds, the noise is reset. The number of iterations is increased from 3 to 5.\n3.

The vertices of the Voronoi diagram (filtered to be inside the container) are mathematically guaranteed to be the centers of the largest possible empty circles. This ensures the relocation heuristic always finds the global maximum void for the runt circle, eliminating the randomness and inefficiency of sampling.\n\n2. **Topological Swap Heuristic**\n Implement a \"Swap-and-Relax\" operation within Phase 2. Randomly select the \"runt\" circle and swap its center coordinates with a larger circle (or swap two random circles), then run a short gradient relaxation. Continuous optimization cannot easily move a circle \"through\" another to fix a bad topological ordering (e.g., a small circle blocking a corner); this discrete mutation directly addresses that limitation.\n\n3. **Multi-Path \"Look-Ahead\" Relocation**\n Modify the relocation heuristic to not just greedy-pick the single largest void, but to evaluate the top $K$ (e.g., 3) distinct voids. Create temporary branches where the runt is placed in each candidate void, perform a quick partial relaxation, and commit to the branch that yields the highest Linear Programming score. This prevents the algorithm from choosing a void that is large initially but geometrically constrains further expansion.\n\n4. **Cluster-Based Relocation**\n Extend the \"Runt Relocation\" to handle local jams where a single removal isn't enough. If moving the runt alone yields no improvement, identify the runt and its immediate contacting neighbors (the \"jammed cluster\"), remove *all* of them, relax the remaining circles to close the gap, and then re-insert the removed circles sequentially into the new largest voids.\n\n5. **Adaptive Basin Hopping Temperature**\n Update the final perturbation phase to use an adaptive noise level rather than a fixed standard deviation (currently `0.01`). Implement a mechanism where the perturbation magnitude increases if the previous attempt failed to improve the score (to escape deep local minima) and decreases upon success (to refine the new basin). This balances the need for structural reconfiguration with the precision required for dense packing." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nTwo-phase optimization for circle packing: \n1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of the current best program (Generation 28/29 patterns) which successfully utilizes \"Runt Relocation\" and Linear Programming, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future mutations:\n\n1. **Deterministic Voronoi Void Search**\n Replace the stochastic `find_largest_void` (Monte Carlo + Nelder-Mead) with a deterministic approach using `scipy.spatial.Voronoi`. The vertices of the Voronoi diagram (filtered to be inside the container) are mathematically guaranteed to be the centers of the largest possible empty circles. This ensures the relocation heuristic always finds the global maximum void for the runt circle, eliminating the randomness and inefficiency of sampling.\n\n2. **Topological Swap Heuristic**\n Implement a \"Swap-and-Relax\" operation within Phase 2. Randomly select the \"runt\" circle and swap its center coordinates with a larger circle (or swap two random circles), then run a short gradient relaxation. Continuous optimization cannot easily move a circle \"through\" another to fix a bad topological ordering (e.g., a small circle blocking a corner); this discrete mutation directly addresses that limitation.\n\n3. **Multi-Path \"Look-Ahead\" Relocation**\n Modify the relocation heuristic to not just greedy-pick the single largest void, but to evaluate the top $K$ (e.g., 3) distinct voids. Create temporary branches where the runt is placed in each candidate void, perform a quick partial relaxation, and commit to the branch that yields the highest Linear Programming score. This prevents the algorithm from choosing a void that is large initially but geometrically constrains further expansion.\n\n4. **Cluster-Based Relocation**\n Extend the \"Runt Relocation\" to handle local jams where a single removal isn't enough. If moving the runt alone yields no improvement, identify the runt and its immediate contacting neighbors (the \"jammed cluster\"), remove *all* of them, relax the remaining circles to close the gap, and then re-insert the removed circles sequentially into the new largest voids.\n\n5. **Adaptive Basin Hopping Temperature**\n Update the final perturbation phase to use an adaptive noise level rather than a fixed standard deviation (currently `0.01`). Implement a mechanism where the perturbation magnitude increases if the previous attempt failed to improve the score (to escape deep local minima) and decreases upon success (to refine the new basin).

Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n" + }, + { + "role": "assistant", + "content": "\nvoronoi_swap_packing\n\n\n\nThis algorithm improves upon previous iterations by introducing a deterministic Voronoi-based void search and a topological swap heuristic. Instead of relying on random sampling to find empty spaces for relocation, it calculates the Voronoi diagram of the circle centers to pinpoint the mathematically optimal candidates for largest voids (Voronoi vertices and boundary intersections). It also implements a \"Swap-and-Relax\" strategy, where the \"runt\" (smallest) circle is not only relocated but occasionally swapped with other circles to escape topological local minima that simple continuous optimization cannot resolve. A hybrid optimization approach with stiffness scheduling and Linear Programming verification ensures high-precision packing.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using Voronoi heuristics\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Instead of relying on random sampling to find empty spaces for relocation, it calculates the Voronoi diagram of the circle centers to pinpoint the mathematically optimal candidates for largest voids (Voronoi vertices and boundary intersections). It also implements a \"Swap-and-Relax\" strategy, where the \"runt\" (smallest) circle is not only relocated but occasionally swapped with other circles to escape topological local minima that simple continuous optimization cannot resolve. A hybrid optimization approach with stiffness scheduling and Linear Programming verification ensures high-precision packing.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using Voronoi heuristics\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

The vertices of the Voronoi diagram (filtered to be inside the container) are mathematically guaranteed to be the centers of the largest possible empty circles. This ensures the relocation heuristic always finds the global maximum void for the runt circle, eliminating the randomness and inefficiency of sampling.\n\n2. **Topological Swap Heuristic**\n Implement a \"Swap-and-Relax\" operation within Phase 2. Randomly select the \"runt\" circle and swap its center coordinates with a larger circle (or swap two random circles), then run a short gradient relaxation. Continuous optimization cannot easily move a circle \"through\" another to fix a bad topological ordering (e.g., a small circle blocking a corner); this discrete mutation directly addresses that limitation.\n\n3. **Multi-Path \"Look-Ahead\" Relocation**\n Modify the relocation heuristic to not just greedy-pick the single largest void, but to evaluate the top $K$ (e.g., 3) distinct voids. Create temporary branches where the runt is placed in each candidate void, perform a quick partial relaxation, and commit to the branch that yields the highest Linear Programming score. This prevents the algorithm from choosing a void that is large initially but geometrically constrains further expansion.\n\n4. **Cluster-Based Relocation**\n Extend the \"Runt Relocation\" to handle local jams where a single removal isn't enough. If moving the runt alone yields no improvement, identify the runt and its immediate contacting neighbors (the \"jammed cluster\"), remove *all* of them, relax the remaining circles to close the gap, and then re-insert the removed circles sequentially into the new largest voids.\n\n5. **Adaptive Basin Hopping Temperature**\n Update the final perturbation phase to use an adaptive noise level rather than a fixed standard deviation (currently `0.01`). Implement a mechanism where the perturbation magnitude increases if the previous attempt failed to improve the score (to escape deep local minima) and decreases upon success (to refine the new basin). This balances the need for structural reconfiguration with the precision required for dense packing." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Two-phase optimization: Topology search + Variable radius relaxation with gradients\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, squareform\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(42)\n\n # --- PHASE 1: Topology Search (Equal Radii) ---\n # Find centers maximizing minimum distance via inverse power potential E = sum(1/dist^k).\n\n best_phase1_centers = None\n best_phase1_min_dist = -1.0\n\n # Seeds: Grid (Corner-biased) and Random\n # Grid: 5x5 grid spanning 0 to 1 includes corners\n g = np.linspace(0, 1, 5)\n GX, GY = np.meshgrid(g, g)\n grid_points = np.column_stack([GX.ravel(), GY.ravel()]) # 25 points\n # 26th point in center\n start_grid = np.vstack([grid_points, [0.5, 0.5]])\n\n seeds = [start_grid]\n for _ in range(3):\n seeds.append(np.random.rand(n, 2))\n\n bounds_phase1 = [(0, 1)] * (2 * n)\n\n for start_points in seeds:\n current_x = start_points.flatten()\n\n # Staged optimization (Soft -> Hard repulsion)\n for k_pow in [2, 10, 40]:\n res = minimize(\n fun=equal_circle_potential,\n x0=current_x,\n args=(k_pow,),\n method='L-BFGS-B',\n jac=equal_circle_grad,\n bounds=bounds_phase1,\n options={'ftol': 1e-4, 'maxiter': 300}\n )\n current_x = res.x\n\n centers = current_x.reshape((n, 2))\n dists = pdist(centers)\n min_d = np.min(dists) if len(dists) > 0 else 0\n\n if min_d > best_phase1_min_dist:\n best_phase1_min_dist = min_d\n best_phase1_centers = centers\n\n # --- PHASE 2: Variable Radius Relaxation ---\n # Use the best topology as starting point.\n\n # Initial radii: slightly smaller than max equal packing to give room\n # If points were mapped to unit square, max r ~= min_dist / 2 (ignoring walls)\n # But we want to allow inequality.\n r_init = (best_phase1_min_dist / 2.0) * 0.9\n radii_start = np.full(n, r_init)\n\n # Perturb radii slightly to break symmetry and encourage variable solutions\n radii_start *= np.random.uniform(0.95, 1.05, size=n)\n\n # Parameters: [x1, y1, ..., xn, yn, r1, ..., rn]\n params0 = np.concatenate([best_phase1_centers.flatten(), radii_start])\n\n # Bounds: centers in [0,1], radii in [epsilon, 0.5]\n bounds_params = [(0, 1)] * (2 * n) + [(1e-5, 0.5)] * n\n\n # Stiffness scheduling\n current_params = params0\n weights = [10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000]\n\n for w in weights:\n res = minimize(\n fun=variable_packing_loss,\n x0=current_params,\n args=(n, w),\n method='L-BFGS-B',\n jac=variable_packing_jac,\n bounds=bounds_params,\n options={'ftol': 1e-5, 'maxiter': 800}\n )\n current_params = res.x\n\n # Extract results\n final_centers = current_params[:2*n].reshape((n, 2))\n final_radii_opt = current_params[2*n:]\n\n # Final strict validation and maximization\n final_radii = compute_max_radii(final_centers, final_radii_opt)\n\n return final_centers, final_radii\n\n\ndef equal_circle_potential(x, k):\n \"\"\"Potential energy for equal circles: sum(1/dist^k).\"\"\"\n points = x.reshape((-1, 2))\n dists = pdist(points)\n dists = np.maximum(dists, 1e-10)\n return np.sum(dists ** (-k))\n\n\ndef equal_circle_grad(x, k):\n \"\"\"Gradient of potential energy.\"\"\"\n points = x.reshape((-1, 2))\n diff = points[:, np.newaxis, :] -

Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n" + }, + { + "role": "assistant", + "content": "\nvoronoi_runt_relocation\n\n\n\nImplement a robust \"Runt Relocation\" strategy to improve the packing configuration.\n1.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of the current best program (Generation 28/29 patterns) which successfully utilizes \"Runt Relocation\" and Linear Programming, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future mutations:\n\n1. **Deterministic Voronoi Void Search**\n Replace the stochastic `find_largest_void` (Monte Carlo + Nelder-Mead) with a deterministic approach using `scipy.spatial.Voronoi`. The vertices of the Voronoi diagram (filtered to be inside the container) are mathematically guaranteed to be the centers of the largest possible empty circles. This ensures the relocation heuristic always finds the global maximum void for the runt circle, eliminating the randomness and inefficiency of sampling.\n\n2. **Topological Swap Heuristic**\n Implement a \"Swap-and-Relax\" operation within Phase 2. Randomly select the \"runt\" circle and swap its center coordinates with a larger circle (or swap two random circles), then run a short gradient relaxation. Continuous optimization cannot easily move a circle \"through\" another to fix a bad topological ordering (e.g., a small circle blocking a corner); this discrete mutation directly addresses that limitation.\n\n3. **Multi-Path \"Look-Ahead\" Relocation**\n Modify the relocation heuristic to not just greedy-pick the single largest void, but to evaluate the top $K$ (e.g., 3) distinct voids. Create temporary branches where the runt is placed in each candidate void, perform a quick partial relaxation, and commit to the branch that yields the highest Linear Programming score. This prevents the algorithm from choosing a void that is large initially but geometrically constrains further expansion.\n\n4. **Cluster-Based Relocation**\n Extend the \"Runt Relocation\" to handle local jams where a single removal isn't enough. If moving the runt alone yields no improvement, identify the runt and its immediate contacting neighbors (the \"jammed cluster\"), remove *all* of them, relax the remaining circles to close the gap, and then re-insert the removed circles sequentially into the new largest voids.\n\n5. **Adaptive Basin Hopping Temperature**\n Update the final perturbation phase to use an adaptive noise level rather than a fixed standard deviation (currently `0.01`). Implement a mechanism where the perturbation magnitude increases if the previous attempt failed to improve the score (to escape deep local minima) and decreases upon success (to refine the new basin). This balances the need for structural reconfiguration with the precision required for dense packing." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nTwo-phase optimization for circle packing: \n1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity.

The vertices of the Voronoi diagram (filtered to be inside the container) are mathematically guaranteed to be the centers of the largest possible empty circles. This ensures the relocation heuristic always finds the global maximum void for the runt circle, eliminating the randomness and inefficiency of sampling.\n\n2. **Topological Swap Heuristic**\n Implement a \"Swap-and-Relax\" operation within Phase 2. Randomly select the \"runt\" circle and swap its center coordinates with a larger circle (or swap two random circles), then run a short gradient relaxation. Continuous optimization cannot easily move a circle \"through\" another to fix a bad topological ordering (e.g., a small circle blocking a corner); this discrete mutation directly addresses that limitation.\n\n3. **Multi-Path \"Look-Ahead\" Relocation**\n Modify the relocation heuristic to not just greedy-pick the single largest void, but to evaluate the top $K$ (e.g., 3) distinct voids. Create temporary branches where the runt is placed in each candidate void, perform a quick partial relaxation, and commit to the branch that yields the highest Linear Programming score. This prevents the algorithm from choosing a void that is large initially but geometrically constrains further expansion.\n\n4. **Cluster-Based Relocation**\n Extend the \"Runt Relocation\" to handle local jams where a single removal isn't enough. If moving the runt alone yields no improvement, identify the runt and its immediate contacting neighbors (the \"jammed cluster\"), remove *all* of them, relax the remaining circles to close the gap, and then re-insert the removed circles sequentially into the new largest voids.\n\n5. **Adaptive Basin Hopping Temperature**\n Update the final perturbation phase to use an adaptive noise level rather than a fixed standard deviation (currently `0.01`). Implement a mechanism where the perturbation magnitude increases if the previous attempt failed to improve the score (to escape deep local minima) and decreases upon success (to refine the new basin). This balances the need for structural reconfiguration with the precision required for dense packing." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n" + }, + { + "role": "assistant", + "content": "\nvoronoi_void_heuristic\n\n\n\n1. **Imports**: Added `Voronoi` from `scipy.spatial`.\n2. **Relocation Tuning**: Increased `maxiter` for the N-1 relaxation step in the relocation loop from 100 to 250.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of the Program Summaries and the Current Best Program (Score: 2.614), here are 5 actionable recommendations for future mutations. These recommendations prioritize refining the successful \"Move-and-Relax\" and \"Linear Programming\" patterns while addressing the limitations of stochastic search and greedy heuristics.\n\n1. **Deterministic Voronoi-Seeded Void Search**\n Replace the stochastic Monte Carlo sampling in `find_largest_void` with a deterministic search using `scipy.spatial.Voronoi`. Generate Voronoi vertices from the current circle centers and use *all* vertices lying inside the container as seed points for the `Nelder-Mead` local optimization. This mathematically guarantees that the relocation heuristic explores the most promising geometric \"interstices\" defined by the current topology, rather than relying on random chance to find a tight fit for the runt.\n\n2. **Topological \"Swap-and-Relax\" Mutation**\n Introduce a \"Swap\" operation within the relocation loop to handle cases where moving the runt alone is insufficient. If the standard \"Move-to-Void\" yields no LP score improvement, attempt to swap the center coordinates of the \"runt\" circle with those of the largest circle (or a random neighbor). This allows the algorithm to correct suboptimal ordering (e.g., a large circle trapped in a corner, a small circle in the open) which continuous gradient descent cannot resolve.\n\n3. **Multi-Branch \"Look-Ahead\" Relocation**\n Modify the relocation heuristic to evaluate the top 3 distinct voids instead of just the single largest one. Create temporary branches where the runt is placed in each candidate void, run a short \"mini-relaxation\" (Phase 2), and commit to the branch that yields the highest Linear Programming score. This prevents the algorithm from greedily choosing a void that is initially large but geometrically rigid, favoring voids that allow better global expansion.\n\n4. **LP-Warm-Start for Relaxation Steps**\n Update the relocation phase to solve the Linear Programming problem *before* running the non-linear relaxation. When a circle is moved (or swapped), calculate the optimal valid radii for the new configuration using `optimize_radii_lp` and use these values as the starting `x0` for the `loss_variable_radii` minimization. This ensures the solver starts from a valid, maximized state (zero overlap penalty), allowing the stiffness schedule to focus entirely on topological expansion rather than resolving artificial overlaps.\n\n5. **Cyclical \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule**\n Change the stiffness schedule in Phase 2 from a purely monotonic increase (Soft $\\to$ Hard) to a cyclical one (e.g., Soft $\\to$ Hard $\\to$ Medium $\\to$ Hard). After the initial hardening pushes circles apart, momentarily reducing the penalty weight allows the system to escape local \"jamming\" minima before re-freezing. This \"breathing\" dynamic helps resolve contact networks that settled prematurely in suboptimal configurations." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of the Program Summaries and the Current Best Program (Score: 2.614), here are 5 actionable recommendations for future mutations. These recommendations prioritize refining the successful \"Move-and-Relax\" and \"Linear Programming\" patterns while addressing the limitations of stochastic search and greedy heuristics.\n\n1. **Deterministic Voronoi-Seeded Void Search**\n Replace the stochastic Monte Carlo sampling in `find_largest_void` with a deterministic search using `scipy.spatial.Voronoi`. Generate Voronoi vertices from the current circle centers and use *all* vertices lying inside the container as seed points for the `Nelder-Mead` local optimization. This mathematically guarantees that the relocation heuristic explores the most promising geometric \"interstices\" defined by the current topology, rather than relying on random chance to find a tight fit for the runt.\n\n2. **Topological \"Swap-and-Relax\" Mutation**\n Introduce a \"Swap\" operation within the relocation loop to handle cases where moving the runt alone is insufficient. If the standard \"Move-to-Void\" yields no LP score improvement, attempt to swap the center coordinates of the \"runt\" circle with those of the largest circle (or a random neighbor). This allows the algorithm to correct suboptimal ordering (e.g., a large circle trapped in a corner, a small circle in the open) which continuous gradient descent cannot resolve.\n\n3. **Multi-Branch \"Look-Ahead\" Relocation**\n Modify the relocation heuristic to evaluate the top 3 distinct voids instead of just the single largest one. Create temporary branches where the runt is placed in each candidate void, run a short \"mini-relaxation\" (Phase 2), and commit to the branch that yields the highest Linear Programming score. This prevents the algorithm from greedily choosing a void that is initially large but geometrically rigid, favoring voids that allow better global expansion.\n\n4. **LP-Warm-Start for Relaxation Steps**\n Update the relocation phase to solve the Linear Programming problem *before* running the non-linear relaxation. When a circle is moved (or swapped), calculate the optimal valid radii for the new configuration using `optimize_radii_lp` and use these values as the starting `x0` for the `loss_variable_radii` minimization. This ensures the solver starts from a valid, maximized state (zero overlap penalty), allowing the stiffness schedule to focus entirely on topological expansion rather than resolving artificial overlaps.\n\n5. **Cyclical \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule**\n Change the stiffness schedule in Phase 2 from a purely monotonic increase (Soft $\\to$ Hard) to a cyclical one (e.g., Soft $\\to$ Hard $\\to$ Medium $\\to$ Hard). After the initial hardening pushes circles apart, momentarily reducing the penalty weight allows the system to escape local \"jamming\" minima before re-freezing. This \"breathing\" dynamic helps resolve contact networks that settled prematurely in suboptimal configurations." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity.

These recommendations prioritize refining the successful \"Move-and-Relax\" and \"Linear Programming\" patterns while addressing the limitations of stochastic search and greedy heuristics.\n\n1. **Deterministic Voronoi-Seeded Void Search**\n Replace the stochastic Monte Carlo sampling in `find_largest_void` with a deterministic search using `scipy.spatial.Voronoi`. Generate Voronoi vertices from the current circle centers and use *all* vertices lying inside the container as seed points for the `Nelder-Mead` local optimization. This mathematically guarantees that the relocation heuristic explores the most promising geometric \"interstices\" defined by the current topology, rather than relying on random chance to find a tight fit for the runt.\n\n2. **Topological \"Swap-and-Relax\" Mutation**\n Introduce a \"Swap\" operation within the relocation loop to handle cases where moving the runt alone is insufficient. If the standard \"Move-to-Void\" yields no LP score improvement, attempt to swap the center coordinates of the \"runt\" circle with those of the largest circle (or a random neighbor). This allows the algorithm to correct suboptimal ordering (e.g., a large circle trapped in a corner, a small circle in the open) which continuous gradient descent cannot resolve.\n\n3. **Multi-Branch \"Look-Ahead\" Relocation**\n Modify the relocation heuristic to evaluate the top 3 distinct voids instead of just the single largest one. Create temporary branches where the runt is placed in each candidate void, run a short \"mini-relaxation\" (Phase 2), and commit to the branch that yields the highest Linear Programming score. This prevents the algorithm from greedily choosing a void that is initially large but geometrically rigid, favoring voids that allow better global expansion.\n\n4. **LP-Warm-Start for Relaxation Steps**\n Update the relocation phase to solve the Linear Programming problem *before* running the non-linear relaxation. When a circle is moved (or swapped), calculate the optimal valid radii for the new configuration using `optimize_radii_lp` and use these values as the starting `x0` for the `loss_variable_radii` minimization. This ensures the solver starts from a valid, maximized state (zero overlap penalty), allowing the stiffness schedule to focus entirely on topological expansion rather than resolving artificial overlaps.\n\n5. **Cyclical \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule**\n Change the stiffness schedule in Phase 2 from a purely monotonic increase (Soft $\\to$ Hard) to a cyclical one (e.g., Soft $\\to$ Hard $\\to$ Medium $\\to$ Hard). After the initial hardening pushes circles apart, momentarily reducing the penalty weight allows the system to escape local \"jamming\" minima before re-freezing. This \"breathing\" dynamic helps resolve contact networks that settled prematurely in suboptimal configurations." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity.

These recommendations prioritize refining the successful \"Move-and-Relax\" and \"Linear Programming\" patterns while addressing the limitations of stochastic search and greedy heuristics.\n\n1. **Deterministic Voronoi-Seeded Void Search**\n Replace the stochastic Monte Carlo sampling in `find_largest_void` with a deterministic search using `scipy.spatial.Voronoi`. Generate Voronoi vertices from the current circle centers and use *all* vertices lying inside the container as seed points for the `Nelder-Mead` local optimization. This mathematically guarantees that the relocation heuristic explores the most promising geometric \"interstices\" defined by the current topology, rather than relying on random chance to find a tight fit for the runt.\n\n2. **Topological \"Swap-and-Relax\" Mutation**\n Introduce a \"Swap\" operation within the relocation loop to handle cases where moving the runt alone is insufficient. If the standard \"Move-to-Void\" yields no LP score improvement, attempt to swap the center coordinates of the \"runt\" circle with those of the largest circle (or a random neighbor). This allows the algorithm to correct suboptimal ordering (e.g., a large circle trapped in a corner, a small circle in the open) which continuous gradient descent cannot resolve.\n\n3. **Multi-Branch \"Look-Ahead\" Relocation**\n Modify the relocation heuristic to evaluate the top 3 distinct voids instead of just the single largest one. Create temporary branches where the runt is placed in each candidate void, run a short \"mini-relaxation\" (Phase 2), and commit to the branch that yields the highest Linear Programming score. This prevents the algorithm from greedily choosing a void that is initially large but geometrically rigid, favoring voids that allow better global expansion.\n\n4. **LP-Warm-Start for Relaxation Steps**\n Update the relocation phase to solve the Linear Programming problem *before* running the non-linear relaxation. When a circle is moved (or swapped), calculate the optimal valid radii for the new configuration using `optimize_radii_lp` and use these values as the starting `x0` for the `loss_variable_radii` minimization. This ensures the solver starts from a valid, maximized state (zero overlap penalty), allowing the stiffness schedule to focus entirely on topological expansion rather than resolving artificial overlaps.\n\n5. **Cyclical \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule**\n Change the stiffness schedule in Phase 2 from a purely monotonic increase (Soft $\\to$ Hard) to a cyclical one (e.g., Soft $\\to$ Hard $\\to$ Medium $\\to$ Hard). After the initial hardening pushes circles apart, momentarily reducing the penalty weight allows the system to escape local \"jamming\" minima before re-freezing. This \"breathing\" dynamic helps resolve contact networks that settled prematurely in suboptimal configurations." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes.

These recommendations prioritize refining the successful \"Move-and-Relax\" and \"Linear Programming\" patterns while addressing the limitations of stochastic search and greedy heuristics.\n\n1. **Deterministic Voronoi-Seeded Void Search**\n Replace the stochastic Monte Carlo sampling in `find_largest_void` with a deterministic search using `scipy.spatial.Voronoi`. Generate Voronoi vertices from the current circle centers and use *all* vertices lying inside the container as seed points for the `Nelder-Mead` local optimization. This mathematically guarantees that the relocation heuristic explores the most promising geometric \"interstices\" defined by the current topology, rather than relying on random chance to find a tight fit for the runt.\n\n2. **Topological \"Swap-and-Relax\" Mutation**\n Introduce a \"Swap\" operation within the relocation loop to handle cases where moving the runt alone is insufficient. If the standard \"Move-to-Void\" yields no LP score improvement, attempt to swap the center coordinates of the \"runt\" circle with those of the largest circle (or a random neighbor). This allows the algorithm to correct suboptimal ordering (e.g., a large circle trapped in a corner, a small circle in the open) which continuous gradient descent cannot resolve.\n\n3. **Multi-Branch \"Look-Ahead\" Relocation**\n Modify the relocation heuristic to evaluate the top 3 distinct voids instead of just the single largest one. Create temporary branches where the runt is placed in each candidate void, run a short \"mini-relaxation\" (Phase 2), and commit to the branch that yields the highest Linear Programming score. This prevents the algorithm from greedily choosing a void that is initially large but geometrically rigid, favoring voids that allow better global expansion.\n\n4. **LP-Warm-Start for Relaxation Steps**\n Update the relocation phase to solve the Linear Programming problem *before* running the non-linear relaxation. When a circle is moved (or swapped), calculate the optimal valid radii for the new configuration using `optimize_radii_lp` and use these values as the starting `x0` for the `loss_variable_radii` minimization. This ensures the solver starts from a valid, maximized state (zero overlap penalty), allowing the stiffness schedule to focus entirely on topological expansion rather than resolving artificial overlaps.\n\n5. **Cyclical \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule**\n Change the stiffness schedule in Phase 2 from a purely monotonic increase (Soft $\\to$ Hard) to a cyclical one (e.g., Soft $\\to$ Hard $\\to$ Medium $\\to$ Hard). After the initial hardening pushes circles apart, momentarily reducing the penalty weight allows the system to escape local \"jamming\" minima before re-freezing. This \"breathing\" dynamic helps resolve contact networks that settled prematurely in suboptimal configurations." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes.

These recommendations prioritize refining the successful \"Move-and-Relax\" and \"Linear Programming\" patterns while addressing the limitations of stochastic search and greedy heuristics.\n\n1. **Deterministic Voronoi-Seeded Void Search**\n Replace the stochastic Monte Carlo sampling in `find_largest_void` with a deterministic search using `scipy.spatial.Voronoi`. Generate Voronoi vertices from the current circle centers and use *all* vertices lying inside the container as seed points for the `Nelder-Mead` local optimization. This mathematically guarantees that the relocation heuristic explores the most promising geometric \"interstices\" defined by the current topology, rather than relying on random chance to find a tight fit for the runt.\n\n2. **Topological \"Swap-and-Relax\" Mutation**\n Introduce a \"Swap\" operation within the relocation loop to handle cases where moving the runt alone is insufficient. If the standard \"Move-to-Void\" yields no LP score improvement, attempt to swap the center coordinates of the \"runt\" circle with those of the largest circle (or a random neighbor). This allows the algorithm to correct suboptimal ordering (e.g., a large circle trapped in a corner, a small circle in the open) which continuous gradient descent cannot resolve.\n\n3. **Multi-Branch \"Look-Ahead\" Relocation**\n Modify the relocation heuristic to evaluate the top 3 distinct voids instead of just the single largest one. Create temporary branches where the runt is placed in each candidate void, run a short \"mini-relaxation\" (Phase 2), and commit to the branch that yields the highest Linear Programming score. This prevents the algorithm from greedily choosing a void that is initially large but geometrically rigid, favoring voids that allow better global expansion.\n\n4. **LP-Warm-Start for Relaxation Steps**\n Update the relocation phase to solve the Linear Programming problem *before* running the non-linear relaxation. When a circle is moved (or swapped), calculate the optimal valid radii for the new configuration using `optimize_radii_lp` and use these values as the starting `x0` for the `loss_variable_radii` minimization. This ensures the solver starts from a valid, maximized state (zero overlap penalty), allowing the stiffness schedule to focus entirely on topological expansion rather than resolving artificial overlaps.\n\n5. **Cyclical \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule**\n Change the stiffness schedule in Phase 2 from a purely monotonic increase (Soft $\\to$ Hard) to a cyclical one (e.g., Soft $\\to$ Hard $\\to$ Medium $\\to$ Hard). After the initial hardening pushes circles apart, momentarily reducing the penalty weight allows the system to escape local \"jamming\" minima before re-freezing. This \"breathing\" dynamic helps resolve contact networks that settled prematurely in suboptimal configurations." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes.

Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity.

These recommendations prioritize refining the successful \"Move-and-Relax\" and \"Linear Programming\" patterns while addressing the limitations of stochastic search and greedy heuristics.\n\n1. **Deterministic Voronoi-Seeded Void Search**\n Replace the stochastic Monte Carlo sampling in `find_largest_void` with a deterministic search using `scipy.spatial.Voronoi`. Generate Voronoi vertices from the current circle centers and use *all* vertices lying inside the container as seed points for the `Nelder-Mead` local optimization. This mathematically guarantees that the relocation heuristic explores the most promising geometric \"interstices\" defined by the current topology, rather than relying on random chance to find a tight fit for the runt.\n\n2. **Topological \"Swap-and-Relax\" Mutation**\n Introduce a \"Swap\" operation within the relocation loop to handle cases where moving the runt alone is insufficient. If the standard \"Move-to-Void\" yields no LP score improvement, attempt to swap the center coordinates of the \"runt\" circle with those of the largest circle (or a random neighbor). This allows the algorithm to correct suboptimal ordering (e.g., a large circle trapped in a corner, a small circle in the open) which continuous gradient descent cannot resolve.\n\n3. **Multi-Branch \"Look-Ahead\" Relocation**\n Modify the relocation heuristic to evaluate the top 3 distinct voids instead of just the single largest one. Create temporary branches where the runt is placed in each candidate void, run a short \"mini-relaxation\" (Phase 2), and commit to the branch that yields the highest Linear Programming score. This prevents the algorithm from greedily choosing a void that is initially large but geometrically rigid, favoring voids that allow better global expansion.\n\n4. **LP-Warm-Start for Relaxation Steps**\n Update the relocation phase to solve the Linear Programming problem *before* running the non-linear relaxation. When a circle is moved (or swapped), calculate the optimal valid radii for the new configuration using `optimize_radii_lp` and use these values as the starting `x0` for the `loss_variable_radii` minimization. This ensures the solver starts from a valid, maximized state (zero overlap penalty), allowing the stiffness schedule to focus entirely on topological expansion rather than resolving artificial overlaps.\n\n5. **Cyclical \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule**\n Change the stiffness schedule in Phase 2 from a purely monotonic increase (Soft $\\to$ Hard) to a cyclical one (e.g., Soft $\\to$ Hard $\\to$ Medium $\\to$ Hard). After the initial hardening pushes circles apart, momentarily reducing the penalty weight allows the system to escape local \"jamming\" minima before re-freezing. This \"breathing\" dynamic helps resolve contact networks that settled prematurely in suboptimal configurations." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity.

These recommendations prioritize the \"LP-as-Subroutine\" and \"Move-and-Relax\" patterns which have proven to be the key differentiators for high-scoring solutions.\n\n1. **Topological \"Swap-and-Solve\" Heuristic**\n Extend the relocation logic in Phase 3 to include a \"Swap\" operation. If moving the smallest circle to a void does not improve the score, attempt to swap the center coordinates of the smallest circle with a randomly selected larger neighbor, then immediately solve the **Linear Programming (LP)** sub-problem to re-optimize radii. This allows the algorithm to correct \"inverted\" topologies (where a small circle occupies a large void and a large circle is trapped in a tight spot) that simple relocation cannot resolve.\n\n2. **Inter-Stage LP Rectification**\n Insert a call to `optimize_radii_lp` *between* the transitions of the cyclic stiffness schedule (Phase 2). By resetting the radii to their mathematically optimal valid values before increasing the penalty weight or entering a \"Hard\" phase, you ensure the non-linear solver always starts from a \"clean\" state (zero overlap, maximized radii). This prevents the gradient descent from wasting iterations resolving accumulated soft overlaps and allows it to focus on geometric expansion.\n\n3. **\"Pop-Relax-Push\" Perturbation**\n Implement a more aggressive perturbation strategy where the \"runt\" (smallest) circle is temporarily removed from the packing entirely. Run a short relaxation on the remaining $N-1$ circles to allow them to shift and close the inefficient gap, then re-calculate the Voronoi voids and re-insert the circle into the new largest void. This forces a local reshuffling of the contact network that is more significant than moving a circle within a fixed lattice.\n\n4. **Variance-Regularized Early Optimization**\n Modify the `loss_variable_radii` function during the initial \"Soft\" phases of the schedule to include a regularization term proportional to the standard deviation of the radii (e.g., `+ lambda * np.std(radii)`). This penalty encourages the solver to expand circles uniformly during the early stages, preventing the premature formation of \"runts\" that get locked into small sizes before the topology creates space for them.\n\n5. **Greedy Max-Min Construction Seed**\n Enhance the Phase 1 initialization by adding a deterministic \"Greedy Max-Min\" generator. Construct a seed by placing circles sequentially ($k=1 \\dots 26$); for each placement, sample candidate points (random or grid-based) and select the one that maximizes the minimum distance to any already-placed circle or wall. This provides a high-quality, evenly distributed starting configuration that serves as a better baseline than random noise or rigid hexagonal grids for complex container shapes." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes.

The best known result for the sum of radii\nwhen packing 26 circles in a unit square is around 2.635.\n\nYour objective:\n- Maximize sum of radii for 26 non-overlapping circles in [0,1] x [0,1].\n\nHard constraints:\n- All circles must be disjoint.\n- All circles must lie fully inside the unit square.\n- Return valid output in the evaluator contract.\n\nUseful directions:\n1. Hybrid arrangements with variable radii.\n2. Better edge/corner utilization.\n3. Careful placement + robust radius assignment.\n4. Iterative local improvements and perturbation heuristics.\n5. Stable numeric checks to avoid invalid overlap/out-of-bound states.\n\nBe creative but prioritize correctness and stable improvements.\n\nCreate a novel algorithm that draws inspiration from the provided context programs but implements a fundamentally different approach.\nStudy the patterns and techniques from the examples, then design something new.\nYou MUST respond using a short summary name, description and the full code:\n\n\nA shortened name summarizing the code you are proposing.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of the Current Best Program (Generation 43) and the global insights, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future mutations. These recommendations prioritize the \"LP-as-Subroutine\" and \"Move-and-Relax\" patterns which have proven to be the key differentiators for high-scoring solutions.\n\n1. **Topological \"Swap-and-Solve\" Heuristic**\n Extend the relocation logic in Phase 3 to include a \"Swap\" operation. If moving the smallest circle to a void does not improve the score, attempt to swap the center coordinates of the smallest circle with a randomly selected larger neighbor, then immediately solve the **Linear Programming (LP)** sub-problem to re-optimize radii. This allows the algorithm to correct \"inverted\" topologies (where a small circle occupies a large void and a large circle is trapped in a tight spot) that simple relocation cannot resolve.\n\n2. **Inter-Stage LP Rectification**\n Insert a call to `optimize_radii_lp` *between* the transitions of the cyclic stiffness schedule (Phase 2). By resetting the radii to their mathematically optimal valid values before increasing the penalty weight or entering a \"Hard\" phase, you ensure the non-linear solver always starts from a \"clean\" state (zero overlap, maximized radii). This prevents the gradient descent from wasting iterations resolving accumulated soft overlaps and allows it to focus on geometric expansion.\n\n3. **\"Pop-Relax-Push\" Perturbation**\n Implement a more aggressive perturbation strategy where the \"runt\" (smallest) circle is temporarily removed from the packing entirely. Run a short relaxation on the remaining $N-1$ circles to allow them to shift and close the inefficient gap, then re-calculate the Voronoi voids and re-insert the circle into the new largest void. This forces a local reshuffling of the contact network that is more significant than moving a circle within a fixed lattice.\n\n4. **Variance-Regularized Early Optimization**\n Modify the `loss_variable_radii` function during the initial \"Soft\" phases of the schedule to include a regularization term proportional to the standard deviation of the radii (e.g., `+ lambda * np.std(radii)`). This penalty encourages the solver to expand circles uniformly during the early stages, preventing the premature formation of \"runts\" that get locked into small sizes before the topology creates space for them.\n\n5. **Greedy Max-Min Construction Seed**\n Enhance the Phase 1 initialization by adding a deterministic \"Greedy Max-Min\" generator. Construct a seed by placing circles sequentially ($k=1 \\dots 26$); for each placement, sample candidate points (random or grid-based) and select the one that maximizes the minimum distance to any already-placed circle or wall. This provides a high-quality, evenly distributed starting configuration that serves as a better baseline than random noise or rigid hexagonal grids for complex container shapes." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

These recommendations prioritize the \"LP-as-Subroutine\" and \"Move-and-Relax\" patterns which have proven to be the key differentiators for high-scoring solutions.\n\n1. **Topological \"Swap-and-Solve\" Heuristic**\n Extend the relocation logic in Phase 3 to include a \"Swap\" operation. If moving the smallest circle to a void does not improve the score, attempt to swap the center coordinates of the smallest circle with a randomly selected larger neighbor, then immediately solve the **Linear Programming (LP)** sub-problem to re-optimize radii. This allows the algorithm to correct \"inverted\" topologies (where a small circle occupies a large void and a large circle is trapped in a tight spot) that simple relocation cannot resolve.\n\n2. **Inter-Stage LP Rectification**\n Insert a call to `optimize_radii_lp` *between* the transitions of the cyclic stiffness schedule (Phase 2). By resetting the radii to their mathematically optimal valid values before increasing the penalty weight or entering a \"Hard\" phase, you ensure the non-linear solver always starts from a \"clean\" state (zero overlap, maximized radii). This prevents the gradient descent from wasting iterations resolving accumulated soft overlaps and allows it to focus on geometric expansion.\n\n3. **\"Pop-Relax-Push\" Perturbation**\n Implement a more aggressive perturbation strategy where the \"runt\" (smallest) circle is temporarily removed from the packing entirely. Run a short relaxation on the remaining $N-1$ circles to allow them to shift and close the inefficient gap, then re-calculate the Voronoi voids and re-insert the circle into the new largest void. This forces a local reshuffling of the contact network that is more significant than moving a circle within a fixed lattice.\n\n4. **Variance-Regularized Early Optimization**\n Modify the `loss_variable_radii` function during the initial \"Soft\" phases of the schedule to include a regularization term proportional to the standard deviation of the radii (e.g., `+ lambda * np.std(radii)`). This penalty encourages the solver to expand circles uniformly during the early stages, preventing the premature formation of \"runts\" that get locked into small sizes before the topology creates space for them.\n\n5. **Greedy Max-Min Construction Seed**\n Enhance the Phase 1 initialization by adding a deterministic \"Greedy Max-Min\" generator. Construct a seed by placing circles sequentially ($k=1 \\dots 26$); for each placement, sample candidate points (random or grid-based) and select the one that maximizes the minimum distance to any already-placed circle or wall. This provides a high-quality, evenly distributed starting configuration that serves as a better baseline than random noise or rigid hexagonal grids for complex container shapes." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs. (Constraint Tension)\n" + }, + { + "role": "assistant", + "content": "\nlp_optimization_and_swap_heuristic\n\n\n\n1. **Introduce Linear Programming (LP)**: Replace the heuristic `compute_max_radii` with `optimize_radii_lp`. The LP formulation (Maximize sum of radii subject to wall and overlap constraints) provides the mathematically optimal radii for any given set of centers. This provides a much more accurate score metric for evaluating moves in Phase 3.\n2. **Enhance Phase 3 (Relocation)**:\n * Use the LP score to evaluate candidate moves.\n * Add a **\"Swap\" heuristic**: If moving the \"runt\" (smallest circle) to a void doesn't improve the score, attempt to swap its position with the largest circle. This helps resolve topological inversions where a small circle is stuck in a large void (but constrained by neighbors) and a large circle is squeezed.\n3. **Refine Phase 1 Seeds**: Add corner/edge-biased seeds to the initialization. These are often good starting points for constrained packing problems.\n4. **Imports**: Add `linprog` and `cdist`.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\n=======\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\n>>>>>>> REPLACE\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n Uses a three-phase optimization:\n 1.

The LP formulation (Maximize sum of radii subject to wall and overlap constraints) provides the mathematically optimal radii for any given set of centers. This provides a much more accurate score metric for evaluating moves in Phase 3.\n2. **Enhance Phase 3 (Relocation)**:\n * Use the LP score to evaluate candidate moves.\n * Add a **\"Swap\" heuristic**: If moving the \"runt\" (smallest circle) to a void doesn't improve the score, attempt to swap its position with the largest circle. This helps resolve topological inversions where a small circle is stuck in a large void (but constrained by neighbors) and a large circle is squeezed.\n3. **Refine Phase 1 Seeds**: Add corner/edge-biased seeds to the initialization. These are often good starting points for constrained packing problems.\n4. **Imports**: Add `linprog` and `cdist`.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\n=======\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\n>>>>>>> REPLACE\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n Uses a three-phase optimization:\n 1.

These recommendations prioritize the \"LP-as-Subroutine\" and \"Move-and-Relax\" patterns which have proven to be the key differentiators for high-scoring solutions.\n\n1. **Topological \"Swap-and-Solve\" Heuristic**\n Extend the relocation logic in Phase 3 to include a \"Swap\" operation. If moving the smallest circle to a void does not improve the score, attempt to swap the center coordinates of the smallest circle with a randomly selected larger neighbor, then immediately solve the **Linear Programming (LP)** sub-problem to re-optimize radii. This allows the algorithm to correct \"inverted\" topologies (where a small circle occupies a large void and a large circle is trapped in a tight spot) that simple relocation cannot resolve.\n\n2. **Inter-Stage LP Rectification**\n Insert a call to `optimize_radii_lp` *between* the transitions of the cyclic stiffness schedule (Phase 2). By resetting the radii to their mathematically optimal valid values before increasing the penalty weight or entering a \"Hard\" phase, you ensure the non-linear solver always starts from a \"clean\" state (zero overlap, maximized radii). This prevents the gradient descent from wasting iterations resolving accumulated soft overlaps and allows it to focus on geometric expansion.\n\n3. **\"Pop-Relax-Push\" Perturbation**\n Implement a more aggressive perturbation strategy where the \"runt\" (smallest) circle is temporarily removed from the packing entirely. Run a short relaxation on the remaining $N-1$ circles to allow them to shift and close the inefficient gap, then re-calculate the Voronoi voids and re-insert the circle into the new largest void. This forces a local reshuffling of the contact network that is more significant than moving a circle within a fixed lattice.\n\n4. **Variance-Regularized Early Optimization**\n Modify the `loss_variable_radii` function during the initial \"Soft\" phases of the schedule to include a regularization term proportional to the standard deviation of the radii (e.g., `+ lambda * np.std(radii)`). This penalty encourages the solver to expand circles uniformly during the early stages, preventing the premature formation of \"runts\" that get locked into small sizes before the topology creates space for them.\n\n5. **Greedy Max-Min Construction Seed**\n Enhance the Phase 1 initialization by adding a deterministic \"Greedy Max-Min\" generator. Construct a seed by placing circles sequentially ($k=1 \\dots 26$); for each placement, sample candidate points (random or grid-based) and select the one that maximizes the minimum distance to any already-placed circle or wall. This provides a high-quality, evenly distributed starting configuration that serves as a better baseline than random noise or rigid hexagonal grids for complex container shapes." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

These recommendations prioritize the \"LP-as-Subroutine\" and \"Move-and-Relax\" patterns which have proven to be the key differentiators for high-scoring solutions.\n\n1. **Topological \"Swap-and-Solve\" Heuristic**\n Extend the relocation logic in Phase 3 to include a \"Swap\" operation. If moving the smallest circle to a void does not improve the score, attempt to swap the center coordinates of the smallest circle with a randomly selected larger neighbor, then immediately solve the **Linear Programming (LP)** sub-problem to re-optimize radii. This allows the algorithm to correct \"inverted\" topologies (where a small circle occupies a large void and a large circle is trapped in a tight spot) that simple relocation cannot resolve.\n\n2. **Inter-Stage LP Rectification**\n Insert a call to `optimize_radii_lp` *between* the transitions of the cyclic stiffness schedule (Phase 2). By resetting the radii to their mathematically optimal valid values before increasing the penalty weight or entering a \"Hard\" phase, you ensure the non-linear solver always starts from a \"clean\" state (zero overlap, maximized radii). This prevents the gradient descent from wasting iterations resolving accumulated soft overlaps and allows it to focus on geometric expansion.\n\n3. **\"Pop-Relax-Push\" Perturbation**\n Implement a more aggressive perturbation strategy where the \"runt\" (smallest) circle is temporarily removed from the packing entirely. Run a short relaxation on the remaining $N-1$ circles to allow them to shift and close the inefficient gap, then re-calculate the Voronoi voids and re-insert the circle into the new largest void. This forces a local reshuffling of the contact network that is more significant than moving a circle within a fixed lattice.\n\n4. **Variance-Regularized Early Optimization**\n Modify the `loss_variable_radii` function during the initial \"Soft\" phases of the schedule to include a regularization term proportional to the standard deviation of the radii (e.g., `+ lambda * np.std(radii)`). This penalty encourages the solver to expand circles uniformly during the early stages, preventing the premature formation of \"runts\" that get locked into small sizes before the topology creates space for them.\n\n5. **Greedy Max-Min Construction Seed**\n Enhance the Phase 1 initialization by adding a deterministic \"Greedy Max-Min\" generator. Construct a seed by placing circles sequentially ($k=1 \\dots 26$); for each placement, sample candidate points (random or grid-based) and select the one that maximizes the minimum distance to any already-placed circle or wall. This provides a high-quality, evenly distributed starting configuration that serves as a better baseline than random noise or rigid hexagonal grids for complex container shapes." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

It identifies the 'runt' (smallest) circle, removes it, relaxes the remaining system to close the gap (healing), finds the largest new void using Voronoi/sampling, and re-inserts the circle. \n4. **LP-Based Scoring**: Throughout the process, Linear Programming (LP) is used to strictly determine the maximum possible radii for any given set of centers, ensuring the optimization is driven by the true attainable geometric score rather than soft penalty approximations.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHybrid Circle Packing Optimization (N=26)\n1.

These recommendations prioritize the \"LP-as-Subroutine\" and \"Move-and-Relax\" patterns which have proven to be the key differentiators for high-scoring solutions.\n\n1. **Topological \"Swap-and-Solve\" Heuristic**\n Extend the relocation logic in Phase 3 to include a \"Swap\" operation. If moving the smallest circle to a void does not improve the score, attempt to swap the center coordinates of the smallest circle with a randomly selected larger neighbor, then immediately solve the **Linear Programming (LP)** sub-problem to re-optimize radii. This allows the algorithm to correct \"inverted\" topologies (where a small circle occupies a large void and a large circle is trapped in a tight spot) that simple relocation cannot resolve.\n\n2. **Inter-Stage LP Rectification**\n Insert a call to `optimize_radii_lp` *between* the transitions of the cyclic stiffness schedule (Phase 2). By resetting the radii to their mathematically optimal valid values before increasing the penalty weight or entering a \"Hard\" phase, you ensure the non-linear solver always starts from a \"clean\" state (zero overlap, maximized radii). This prevents the gradient descent from wasting iterations resolving accumulated soft overlaps and allows it to focus on geometric expansion.\n\n3. **\"Pop-Relax-Push\" Perturbation**\n Implement a more aggressive perturbation strategy where the \"runt\" (smallest) circle is temporarily removed from the packing entirely. Run a short relaxation on the remaining $N-1$ circles to allow them to shift and close the inefficient gap, then re-calculate the Voronoi voids and re-insert the circle into the new largest void. This forces a local reshuffling of the contact network that is more significant than moving a circle within a fixed lattice.\n\n4. **Variance-Regularized Early Optimization**\n Modify the `loss_variable_radii` function during the initial \"Soft\" phases of the schedule to include a regularization term proportional to the standard deviation of the radii (e.g., `+ lambda * np.std(radii)`). This penalty encourages the solver to expand circles uniformly during the early stages, preventing the premature formation of \"runts\" that get locked into small sizes before the topology creates space for them.\n\n5. **Greedy Max-Min Construction Seed**\n Enhance the Phase 1 initialization by adding a deterministic \"Greedy Max-Min\" generator. Construct a seed by placing circles sequentially ($k=1 \\dots 26$); for each placement, sample candidate points (random or grid-based) and select the one that maximizes the minimum distance to any already-placed circle or wall. This provides a high-quality, evenly distributed starting configuration that serves as a better baseline than random noise or rigid hexagonal grids for complex container shapes." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

This encourages the formation of a uniform lattice-like topology before allowing circles to differentiate in size to fill voids, preventing the premature locking of \"runt\" circles.\n3. **Updated Stiffness Schedule**: Modifies the optimization schedule in Phase 2 to utilize the variance penalty, fading it out as the penalty weight increases.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\n # Stiffness Schedule\n # We alternate between Relaxation (Minimize) and Rectification (LP)\n # Weights increase: Soft -> Hard\n schedule = [10, 100, 1000, 1e4, 1e5]\n \n current_x = local_best_x.copy()\n \n for stage_idx, w in enumerate(schedule):\n # 1.

The best known result for the sum of radii\nwhen packing 26 circles in a unit square is around 2.635.\n\nYour objective:\n- Maximize sum of radii for 26 non-overlapping circles in [0,1] x [0,1].\n\nHard constraints:\n- All circles must be disjoint.\n- All circles must lie fully inside the unit square.\n- Return valid output in the evaluator contract.\n\nUseful directions:\n1. Hybrid arrangements with variable radii.\n2. Better edge/corner utilization.\n3. Careful placement + robust radius assignment.\n4. Iterative local improvements and perturbation heuristics.\n5. Stable numeric checks to avoid invalid overlap/out-of-bound states.\n\nBe creative but prioritize correctness and stable improvements.\n\nDesign a completely different algorithm approach to solve the same problem.\nIgnore the current implementation and think of alternative algorithmic strategies that could achieve better performance.\nYou MUST respond using a short summary name, description and the full code:\n\n\nA shortened name summarizing the code you are proposing.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of the Current Best Program (Generation 43) and the global insights, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future mutations. These recommendations prioritize the \"LP-as-Subroutine\" and \"Move-and-Relax\" patterns which have proven to be the key differentiators for high-scoring solutions.\n\n1. **Topological \"Swap-and-Solve\" Heuristic**\n Extend the relocation logic in Phase 3 to include a \"Swap\" operation. If moving the smallest circle to a void does not improve the score, attempt to swap the center coordinates of the smallest circle with a randomly selected larger neighbor, then immediately solve the **Linear Programming (LP)** sub-problem to re-optimize radii. This allows the algorithm to correct \"inverted\" topologies (where a small circle occupies a large void and a large circle is trapped in a tight spot) that simple relocation cannot resolve.\n\n2. **Inter-Stage LP Rectification**\n Insert a call to `optimize_radii_lp` *between* the transitions of the cyclic stiffness schedule (Phase 2). By resetting the radii to their mathematically optimal valid values before increasing the penalty weight or entering a \"Hard\" phase, you ensure the non-linear solver always starts from a \"clean\" state (zero overlap, maximized radii). This prevents the gradient descent from wasting iterations resolving accumulated soft overlaps and allows it to focus on geometric expansion.\n\n3. **\"Pop-Relax-Push\" Perturbation**\n Implement a more aggressive perturbation strategy where the \"runt\" (smallest) circle is temporarily removed from the packing entirely. Run a short relaxation on the remaining $N-1$ circles to allow them to shift and close the inefficient gap, then re-calculate the Voronoi voids and re-insert the circle into the new largest void. This forces a local reshuffling of the contact network that is more significant than moving a circle within a fixed lattice.\n\n4. **Variance-Regularized Early Optimization**\n Modify the `loss_variable_radii` function during the initial \"Soft\" phases of the schedule to include a regularization term proportional to the standard deviation of the radii (e.g., `+ lambda * np.std(radii)`). This penalty encourages the solver to expand circles uniformly during the early stages, preventing the premature formation of \"runts\" that get locked into small sizes before the topology creates space for them.\n\n5. **Greedy Max-Min Construction Seed**\n Enhance the Phase 1 initialization by adding a deterministic \"Greedy Max-Min\" generator. Construct a seed by placing circles sequentially ($k=1 \\dots 26$); for each placement, sample candidate points (random or grid-based) and select the one that maximizes the minimum distance to any already-placed circle or wall. This provides a high-quality, evenly distributed starting configuration that serves as a better baseline than random noise or rigid hexagonal grids for complex container shapes." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes.

It begins by generating diverse seed topologies (Hexagonal, Grid, Perimeter, Random) and selecting the best ones using a quick Linear Programming (LP) evaluation. The core optimization loop features three key components: \n1. **Elastic Relaxation**: A non-linear optimization that minimizes the sum of radii inverse (effectively maximizing radii) while treating overlaps and boundaries as elastic penalty constraints.\n2. **Pop-Relax-Push Mutation**: To escape local topological minima, the algorithm temporarily removes the least efficient circle (\"Pop\"), relaxes the remaining N-1 circles to expand into the created space (\"Relax\"), and then re-inserts the circle into the new largest void (\"Push\"). This allows the contact network to reshuffle more effectively than simple relocation.\n3. **LP Synchronization**: Radii are frequently re-optimized using Linear Programming to ensure they are mathematically optimal for the current center positions, acting as a high-precision refinement step.\nThis approach balances global topological search with precise local geometry tuning.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nElastic Pop-Relax-Push Packing Algorithm for N=26.\nCombines nonlinear elastic relaxation with topological surgery (Pop-Relax-Push)\nand Linear Programming for optimal radius assignment.\n\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n \n Approach:\n 1.

It begins by generating diverse seed topologies (Hexagonal, Grid, Perimeter, Random) and selecting the best ones using a quick Linear Programming (LP) evaluation. The core optimization loop features three key components: \n1. **Elastic Relaxation**: A non-linear optimization that minimizes the sum of radii inverse (effectively maximizing radii) while treating overlaps and boundaries as elastic penalty constraints.\n2. **Pop-Relax-Push Mutation**: To escape local topological minima, the algorithm temporarily removes the least efficient circle (\"Pop\"), relaxes the remaining N-1 circles to expand into the created space (\"Relax\"), and then re-inserts the circle into the new largest void (\"Push\"). This allows the contact network to reshuffle more effectively than simple relocation.\n3. **LP Synchronization**: Radii are frequently re-optimized using Linear Programming to ensure they are mathematically optimal for the current center positions, acting as a high-precision refinement step.\nThis approach balances global topological search with precise local geometry tuning.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nElastic Pop-Relax-Push Packing Algorithm for N=26.\nCombines nonlinear elastic relaxation with topological surgery (Pop-Relax-Push)\nand Linear Programming for optimal radius assignment.\n\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n \n Approach:\n 1.

These recommendations focus on enhancing the robust \"LP-validated\" and \"Topological Move\" patterns that have proven most effective.\n\n1. **Multi-Candidate \"Beam Search\" Strategy**\n Expand the Phase 3 iterative improvement to evaluate multiple candidate operations before committing. Instead of only attempting to move the \"runt\" (smallest circle) to the single largest void, propose moving it to the top $K$ (e.g., 3) distinct voids, and also propose swapping it with $K$ different larger circles. Execute the \"Fast Relax\" and **LP validation** for *all* candidates and select the move that yields the highest packing density. This prevents the algorithm from being trapped by a greedy choice that leads to a sub-optimal local minimum.\n\n2. **Inter-Stage LP Rectification**\n Insert calls to `optimize_radii_lp` between the transition steps of the Phase 2 stiffness schedule (e.g., after the `1e2` weight loop and before `1e4`). By solving the LP to mathematically maximize radii within the current topology *before* increasing the penalty weights, you ensure the non-linear solver always begins the \"Hard\" constraint phase from a valid, overlap-free configuration. This prevents the solver from wasting iterations on resolving soft overlaps and allows it to focus entirely on geometric expansion.\n\n3. **Spatial Neighbor Swapping**\n Refine the swap heuristic to prioritize geometric locality. Instead of defaulting to a swap with the globally largest circle (which may be spatially distant), identify the \"runt\" circle's neighbors (e.g., via distance threshold or Voronoi adjacency) and attempt to swap with the largest *neighbor*. This targets the specific local jam limiting the runt's growth, effectively \"unclogging\" the immediate region rather than shuffling mass globally.\n\n4. **Continuous Void Centering**\n Augment the `find_largest_void_voronoi` function to refine the insertion coordinates. After selecting the best candidate point from discrete Voronoi vertices and boundary samples, run a lightweight local optimization (using `scipy.optimize.minimize`) to strictly maximize the distance to the nearest wall or circle. This adjusts the insertion point to the true \"Chebyshev center\" of the void, ensuring the moved circle starts in the mathematically optimal position before the full relaxation begins.\n\n5. **Tabu-Regularized Runt Selection**\n Implement a simple \"Tabu\" mechanism or history tracking in the iterative loop to prevent cyclic stagnation. If the smallest circle has been moved or swapped in the previous iteration without significant global score improvement, temporarily exclude it from being selected as the target. Instead, operate on the 2nd or 3rd smallest circles. This forces the algorithm to perturb other regions of the packing, potentially opening up new space for the original runt indirectly." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHybrid Circle Packing: Topology Search + Variable Radius Relaxation + Topological Surgery (RRI)\nCombines multi-stage potential energy minimization for topology generation with a robust\nvariable-radius optimization loop that includes 'Remove-Relax-Insert' heuristics and exact\nLinear Programming refinement.\n\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap).

These recommendations focus on enhancing the robust \"LP-validated\" and \"Topological Move\" patterns that have proven most effective.\n\n1. **Multi-Candidate \"Beam Search\" Strategy**\n Expand the Phase 3 iterative improvement to evaluate multiple candidate operations before committing. Instead of only attempting to move the \"runt\" (smallest circle) to the single largest void, propose moving it to the top $K$ (e.g., 3) distinct voids, and also propose swapping it with $K$ different larger circles. Execute the \"Fast Relax\" and **LP validation** for *all* candidates and select the move that yields the highest packing density. This prevents the algorithm from being trapped by a greedy choice that leads to a sub-optimal local minimum.\n\n2. **Inter-Stage LP Rectification**\n Insert calls to `optimize_radii_lp` between the transition steps of the Phase 2 stiffness schedule (e.g., after the `1e2` weight loop and before `1e4`). By solving the LP to mathematically maximize radii within the current topology *before* increasing the penalty weights, you ensure the non-linear solver always begins the \"Hard\" constraint phase from a valid, overlap-free configuration. This prevents the solver from wasting iterations on resolving soft overlaps and allows it to focus entirely on geometric expansion.\n\n3. **Spatial Neighbor Swapping**\n Refine the swap heuristic to prioritize geometric locality. Instead of defaulting to a swap with the globally largest circle (which may be spatially distant), identify the \"runt\" circle's neighbors (e.g., via distance threshold or Voronoi adjacency) and attempt to swap with the largest *neighbor*. This targets the specific local jam limiting the runt's growth, effectively \"unclogging\" the immediate region rather than shuffling mass globally.\n\n4. **Continuous Void Centering**\n Augment the `find_largest_void_voronoi` function to refine the insertion coordinates. After selecting the best candidate point from discrete Voronoi vertices and boundary samples, run a lightweight local optimization (using `scipy.optimize.minimize`) to strictly maximize the distance to the nearest wall or circle. This adjusts the insertion point to the true \"Chebyshev center\" of the void, ensuring the moved circle starts in the mathematically optimal position before the full relaxation begins.\n\n5. **Tabu-Regularized Runt Selection**\n Implement a simple \"Tabu\" mechanism or history tracking in the iterative loop to prevent cyclic stagnation. If the smallest circle has been moved or swapped in the previous iteration without significant global score improvement, temporarily exclude it from being selected as the target. Instead, operate on the 2nd or 3rd smallest circles.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

This occurs after the \"Relax\" and \"Re-tighten\" stages. This ensures that the optimizer always starts the subsequent stiffer stages from a mathematically valid, overlap-free configuration (maximizing radii for that topology), preventing it from wasting iterations on resolving soft penalties and allowing it to focus on geometric expansion.\n2. **Multi-Candidate Beam Search (Phase 3)**: Replaced the greedy relocation heuristic with a broader search. Instead of only moving the single worst circle to a void, the algorithm now considers the bottom 3 \"runt\" circles. For each candidate, it evaluates:\n * Moving to one of the top 4 Voronoi voids.\n * Swapping position with the largest circle.\n * Each potential move is first screened using a fast LP solve (`optimize_radii_lp`) to assess its potential score *before* committing to a full non-linear relaxation.\n * The single most promising move across all candidates is selected for full relaxation and committed if it improves the global score.

This occurs after the \"Relax\" and \"Re-tighten\" stages. This ensures that the optimizer always starts the subsequent stiffer stages from a mathematically valid, overlap-free configuration (maximizing radii for that topology), preventing it from wasting iterations on resolving soft penalties and allowing it to focus on geometric expansion.\n2. **Multi-Candidate Beam Search (Phase 3)**: Replaced the greedy relocation heuristic with a broader search. Instead of only moving the single worst circle to a void, the algorithm now considers the bottom 3 \"runt\" circles. For each candidate, it evaluates:\n * Moving to one of the top 4 Voronoi voids.\n * Swapping position with the largest circle.\n * Each potential move is first screened using a fast LP solve (`optimize_radii_lp`) to assess its potential score *before* committing to a full non-linear relaxation.\n * The single most promising move across all candidates is selected for full relaxation and committed if it improves the global score. This reduces the likelihood of getting stuck in a local optimum where the single worst circle is \"trapped\" but moving a slightly better circle would unlock the packing.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\n for w, p, it in schedule:\n res = minimize(\n loss_variable_radii, x_curr, args=(w, p),\n method='L-BFGS-B', jac=loss_variable_radii_jac,\n bounds=bounds_opt, options={'maxiter': it}\n )\n x_curr = res.x\n\n # --- Phase 3: LP-Guided Relocation Heuristic ---\n # 1.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of the Current Best Program (**Generation 54**) and the global insights, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future mutations. These recommendations focus on enhancing the robust \"LP-validated\" and \"Topological Move\" patterns that have proven most effective.\n\n1. **Multi-Candidate \"Beam Search\" Strategy**\n Expand the Phase 3 iterative improvement to evaluate multiple candidate operations before committing. Instead of only attempting to move the \"runt\" (smallest circle) to the single largest void, propose moving it to the top $K$ (e.g., 3) distinct voids, and also propose swapping it with $K$ different larger circles. Execute the \"Fast Relax\" and **LP validation** for *all* candidates and select the move that yields the highest packing density. This prevents the algorithm from being trapped by a greedy choice that leads to a sub-optimal local minimum.\n\n2. **Inter-Stage LP Rectification**\n Insert calls to `optimize_radii_lp` between the transition steps of the Phase 2 stiffness schedule (e.g., after the `1e2` weight loop and before `1e4`). By solving the LP to mathematically maximize radii within the current topology *before* increasing the penalty weights, you ensure the non-linear solver always begins the \"Hard\" constraint phase from a valid, overlap-free configuration. This prevents the solver from wasting iterations on resolving soft overlaps and allows it to focus entirely on geometric expansion.\n\n3. **Spatial Neighbor Swapping**\n Refine the swap heuristic to prioritize geometric locality. Instead of defaulting to a swap with the globally largest circle (which may be spatially distant), identify the \"runt\" circle's neighbors (e.g., via distance threshold or Voronoi adjacency) and attempt to swap with the largest *neighbor*. This targets the specific local jam limiting the runt's growth, effectively \"unclogging\" the immediate region rather than shuffling mass globally.\n\n4. **Continuous Void Centering**\n Augment the `find_largest_void_voronoi` function to refine the insertion coordinates. After selecting the best candidate point from discrete Voronoi vertices and boundary samples, run a lightweight local optimization (using `scipy.optimize.minimize`) to strictly maximize the distance to the nearest wall or circle. This adjusts the insertion point to the true \"Chebyshev center\" of the void, ensuring the moved circle starts in the mathematically optimal position before the full relaxation begins.\n\n5. **Tabu-Regularized Runt Selection**\n Implement a simple \"Tabu\" mechanism or history tracking in the iterative loop to prevent cyclic stagnation. If the smallest circle has been moved or swapped in the previous iteration without significant global score improvement, temporarily exclude it from being selected as the target. Instead, operate on the 2nd or 3rd smallest circles. This forces the algorithm to perturb other regions of the packing, potentially opening up new space for the original runt indirectly." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHybrid Circle Packing: Topology Search + Variable Radius Relaxation + Topological Surgery (RRI)\nCombines multi-stage potential energy minimization for topology generation with a robust\nvariable-radius optimization loop that includes 'Remove-Relax-Insert' heuristics and exact\nLinear Programming refinement.\n\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_avg_wall_distance**: The average distance from circles' edges to the container walls.\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

It maintains a population of the best candidate packings and iteratively improves them through 'Rectified Mutations'. In each generation, the 'runt' (smallest) circle of each candidate is targeted for improvement: it is either swapped with a larger neighbor or relocated to the largest void.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_avg_wall_distance**: The average distance from circles' edges to the container walls.\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of the Current Best Program (**Generation 54**) and the global insights, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future mutations. These recommendations focus on enhancing the robust \"LP-validated\" and \"Topological Move\" patterns that have proven most effective.\n\n1. **Multi-Candidate \"Beam Search\" Strategy**\n Expand the Phase 3 iterative improvement to evaluate multiple candidate operations before committing. Instead of only attempting to move the \"runt\" (smallest circle) to the single largest void, propose moving it to the top $K$ (e.g., 3) distinct voids, and also propose swapping it with $K$ different larger circles. Execute the \"Fast Relax\" and **LP validation** for *all* candidates and select the move that yields the highest packing density. This prevents the algorithm from being trapped by a greedy choice that leads to a sub-optimal local minimum.\n\n2. **Inter-Stage LP Rectification**\n Insert calls to `optimize_radii_lp` between the transition steps of the Phase 2 stiffness schedule (e.g., after the `1e2` weight loop and before `1e4`). By solving the LP to mathematically maximize radii within the current topology *before* increasing the penalty weights, you ensure the non-linear solver always begins the \"Hard\" constraint phase from a valid, overlap-free configuration. This prevents the solver from wasting iterations on resolving soft overlaps and allows it to focus entirely on geometric expansion.\n\n3. **Spatial Neighbor Swapping**\n Refine the swap heuristic to prioritize geometric locality. Instead of defaulting to a swap with the globally largest circle (which may be spatially distant), identify the \"runt\" circle's neighbors (e.g., via distance threshold or Voronoi adjacency) and attempt to swap with the largest *neighbor*. This targets the specific local jam limiting the runt's growth, effectively \"unclogging\" the immediate region rather than shuffling mass globally.\n\n4. **Continuous Void Centering**\n Augment the `find_largest_void_voronoi` function to refine the insertion coordinates. After selecting the best candidate point from discrete Voronoi vertices and boundary samples, run a lightweight local optimization (using `scipy.optimize.minimize`) to strictly maximize the distance to the nearest wall or circle. This adjusts the insertion point to the true \"Chebyshev center\" of the void, ensuring the moved circle starts in the mathematically optimal position before the full relaxation begins.\n\n5. **Tabu-Regularized Runt Selection**\n Implement a simple \"Tabu\" mechanism or history tracking in the iterative loop to prevent cyclic stagnation. If the smallest circle has been moved or swapped in the previous iteration without significant global score improvement, temporarily exclude it from being selected as the target. Instead, operate on the 2nd or 3rd smallest circles. This forces the algorithm to perturb other regions of the packing, potentially opening up new space for the original runt indirectly." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHybrid Circle Packing: Topology Search + Variable Radius Relaxation + Topological Surgery (RRI)\nCombines multi-stage potential energy minimization for topology generation with a robust\nvariable-radius optimization loop that includes 'Remove-Relax-Insert' heuristics and exact\nLinear Programming refinement.\n\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

Instead of only attempting to move the \"runt\" (smallest circle) to the single largest void, propose moving it to the top $K$ (e.g., 3) distinct voids, and also propose swapping it with $K$ different larger circles. Execute the \"Fast Relax\" and **LP validation** for *all* candidates and select the move that yields the highest packing density. This prevents the algorithm from being trapped by a greedy choice that leads to a sub-optimal local minimum.\n\n2. **Inter-Stage LP Rectification**\n Insert calls to `optimize_radii_lp` between the transition steps of the Phase 2 stiffness schedule (e.g., after the `1e2` weight loop and before `1e4`). By solving the LP to mathematically maximize radii within the current topology *before* increasing the penalty weights, you ensure the non-linear solver always begins the \"Hard\" constraint phase from a valid, overlap-free configuration. This prevents the solver from wasting iterations on resolving soft overlaps and allows it to focus entirely on geometric expansion.\n\n3. **Spatial Neighbor Swapping**\n Refine the swap heuristic to prioritize geometric locality. Instead of defaulting to a swap with the globally largest circle (which may be spatially distant), identify the \"runt\" circle's neighbors (e.g., via distance threshold or Voronoi adjacency) and attempt to swap with the largest *neighbor*. This targets the specific local jam limiting the runt's growth, effectively \"unclogging\" the immediate region rather than shuffling mass globally.\n\n4. **Continuous Void Centering**\n Augment the `find_largest_void_voronoi` function to refine the insertion coordinates. After selecting the best candidate point from discrete Voronoi vertices and boundary samples, run a lightweight local optimization (using `scipy.optimize.minimize`) to strictly maximize the distance to the nearest wall or circle. This adjusts the insertion point to the true \"Chebyshev center\" of the void, ensuring the moved circle starts in the mathematically optimal position before the full relaxation begins.\n\n5. **Tabu-Regularized Runt Selection**\n Implement a simple \"Tabu\" mechanism or history tracking in the iterative loop to prevent cyclic stagnation. If the smallest circle has been moved or swapped in the previous iteration without significant global score improvement, temporarily exclude it from being selected as the target. Instead, operate on the 2nd or 3rd smallest circles. This forces the algorithm to perturb other regions of the packing, potentially opening up new space for the original runt indirectly." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHybrid Circle Packing: Topology Search + Variable Radius Relaxation + Topological Surgery (RRI)\nCombines multi-stage potential energy minimization for topology generation with a robust\nvariable-radius optimization loop that includes 'Remove-Relax-Insert' heuristics and exact\nLinear Programming refinement.\n\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_avg_wall_distance**: The average distance from circles' edges to the container walls.\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

These recommendations focus on enhancing the robust \"LP-validated\" and \"Topological Move\" patterns that have proven most effective.\n\n1. **Multi-Candidate \"Beam Search\" Strategy**\n Expand the Phase 3 iterative improvement to evaluate multiple candidate operations before committing. Instead of only attempting to move the \"runt\" (smallest circle) to the single largest void, propose moving it to the top $K$ (e.g., 3) distinct voids, and also propose swapping it with $K$ different larger circles. Execute the \"Fast Relax\" and **LP validation** for *all* candidates and select the move that yields the highest packing density. This prevents the algorithm from being trapped by a greedy choice that leads to a sub-optimal local minimum.\n\n2. **Inter-Stage LP Rectification**\n Insert calls to `optimize_radii_lp` between the transition steps of the Phase 2 stiffness schedule (e.g., after the `1e2` weight loop and before `1e4`). By solving the LP to mathematically maximize radii within the current topology *before* increasing the penalty weights, you ensure the non-linear solver always begins the \"Hard\" constraint phase from a valid, overlap-free configuration. This prevents the solver from wasting iterations on resolving soft overlaps and allows it to focus entirely on geometric expansion.\n\n3. **Spatial Neighbor Swapping**\n Refine the swap heuristic to prioritize geometric locality. Instead of defaulting to a swap with the globally largest circle (which may be spatially distant), identify the \"runt\" circle's neighbors (e.g., via distance threshold or Voronoi adjacency) and attempt to swap with the largest *neighbor*. This targets the specific local jam limiting the runt's growth, effectively \"unclogging\" the immediate region rather than shuffling mass globally.\n\n4. **Continuous Void Centering**\n Augment the `find_largest_void_voronoi` function to refine the insertion coordinates. After selecting the best candidate point from discrete Voronoi vertices and boundary samples, run a lightweight local optimization (using `scipy.optimize.minimize`) to strictly maximize the distance to the nearest wall or circle. This adjusts the insertion point to the true \"Chebyshev center\" of the void, ensuring the moved circle starts in the mathematically optimal position before the full relaxation begins.\n\n5. **Tabu-Regularized Runt Selection**\n Implement a simple \"Tabu\" mechanism or history tracking in the iterative loop to prevent cyclic stagnation. If the smallest circle has been moved or swapped in the previous iteration without significant global score improvement, temporarily exclude it from being selected as the target. Instead, operate on the 2nd or 3rd smallest circles. This forces the algorithm to perturb other regions of the packing, potentially opening up new space for the original runt indirectly." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHybrid Circle Packing: Topology Search + Variable Radius Relaxation + Topological Surgery (RRI)\nCombines multi-stage potential energy minimization for topology generation with a robust\nvariable-radius optimization loop that includes 'Remove-Relax-Insert' heuristics and exact\nLinear Programming refinement.\n\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_avg_wall_distance**: The average distance from circles' edges to the container walls.\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers.

(Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle.

Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

It identifies the \"runt\" circle and evaluates potential moves to Voronoi vertices (largest voids) and swaps with the largest circle. Crucially, it uses Linear Programming (LP) to instantly score these structural changes, selecting the best move before performing computationally expensive relaxation.\n5. **Refinement**: Features a Basin Hopping phase and a final LP optimization to ensure maximal radii within the found topology.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 using Hybrid Voronoi-LP Strategies\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n \n Hybrid Approach:\n 1.

These recommendations aim to combine the structural robustness of the current best program with dynamic optimization strategies found in other high-performing generations.\n\n1. **Cyclical \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule**\n Replace the current monotonic relaxation schedule (Phase 2) with an oscillating \"breathing\" pattern (e.g., `1e2 -> 1e4 -> 1e2 -> 1e5`). While the Current Best uses strictly increasing weights (`1e2, 1e4, 1e6`), insights from Generation 62 suggest that temporarily lowering the penalty allows the system to escape local jamming configurations before re-hardening, potentially finding a denser packing configuration that a monotonic schedule would miss.\n\n2. **Multi-Candidate Greedy Search (Beam-Lite)**\n Expand the Phase 3 iterative improvement loop to evaluate multiple move candidates rather than just the first valid one. Instead of moving the \"runt\" (smallest circle) solely to the *single* largest void, generate candidates for the top 3 largest voids and the top 3 potential swaps (including the largest circle and random large circles). Run the \"Fast Relax\" and LP validation on *all* candidates, then commit to the one yielding the highest global radius sum.\n\n3. **Continuous Void Center Refinement**\n Augment the `find_largest_void_voronoi` function to perform a local coordinate optimization. After identifying the best discrete candidate point (from Voronoi vertices or boundary samples), use `scipy.optimize.minimize` to locally maximize the minimum distance to the nearest wall or circle boundary. This ensures the moved circle is placed at the exact mathematical center of the void (Chebyshev center) before physical relaxation begins, providing a superior starting point for the solver.\n\n4. **Local Neighborhood Swapping**\n Introduce a \"Local Swap\" heuristic in Phase 3. The current program only attempts to swap the runt with the globally largest circle, which effectively \"teleports\" mass across the container. Add a logic branch that attempts to swap the runt with its *geometric neighbors* (circles sharing a Voronoi edge or within a distance threshold). This directly addresses local packing inefficiencies (\"clogs\") where a small circle prevents its immediate neighbors from expanding.\n\n5. **Inter-Phase LP Rectification**\n Insert a call to `optimize_radii_lp` *inside* the Phase 2 relaxation loop, specifically between the transition from low to high penalty weights. By mathematically maximizing the radii for the current centers using Linear Programming before increasing the stiffness (e.g., after the `1e2` stage), you reset the solver to a strictly overlap-free state. This allows the subsequent \"Hard\" optimization phase to focus entirely on geometric expansion rather than resolving lingering soft overlaps." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n Strategy:\n 1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_avg_wall_distance**: The average distance from circles' edges to the container walls.\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

Adjusted the \"Breathing\" phase in the stiffness schedule to be deeper (weight 5.0 -> 2.0) and longer (100 -> 150 iters) to allow for more significant rearrangement before re-hardening.\n2.

These recommendations aim to combine the structural robustness of the current best program with dynamic optimization strategies found in other high-performing generations.\n\n1. **Cyclical \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule**\n Replace the current monotonic relaxation schedule (Phase 2) with an oscillating \"breathing\" pattern (e.g., `1e2 -> 1e4 -> 1e2 -> 1e5`). While the Current Best uses strictly increasing weights (`1e2, 1e4, 1e6`), insights from Generation 62 suggest that temporarily lowering the penalty allows the system to escape local jamming configurations before re-hardening, potentially finding a denser packing configuration that a monotonic schedule would miss.\n\n2. **Multi-Candidate Greedy Search (Beam-Lite)**\n Expand the Phase 3 iterative improvement loop to evaluate multiple move candidates rather than just the first valid one. Instead of moving the \"runt\" (smallest circle) solely to the *single* largest void, generate candidates for the top 3 largest voids and the top 3 potential swaps (including the largest circle and random large circles). Run the \"Fast Relax\" and LP validation on *all* candidates, then commit to the one yielding the highest global radius sum.\n\n3. **Continuous Void Center Refinement**\n Augment the `find_largest_void_voronoi` function to perform a local coordinate optimization. After identifying the best discrete candidate point (from Voronoi vertices or boundary samples), use `scipy.optimize.minimize` to locally maximize the minimum distance to the nearest wall or circle boundary. This ensures the moved circle is placed at the exact mathematical center of the void (Chebyshev center) before physical relaxation begins, providing a superior starting point for the solver.\n\n4. **Local Neighborhood Swapping**\n Introduce a \"Local Swap\" heuristic in Phase 3. The current program only attempts to swap the runt with the globally largest circle, which effectively \"teleports\" mass across the container. Add a logic branch that attempts to swap the runt with its *geometric neighbors* (circles sharing a Voronoi edge or within a distance threshold). This directly addresses local packing inefficiencies (\"clogs\") where a small circle prevents its immediate neighbors from expanding.\n\n5. **Inter-Phase LP Rectification**\n Insert a call to `optimize_radii_lp` *inside* the Phase 2 relaxation loop, specifically between the transition from low to high penalty weights. By mathematically maximizing the radii for the current centers using Linear Programming before increasing the stiffness (e.g., after the `1e2` stage), you reset the solver to a strictly overlap-free state. This allows the subsequent \"Hard\" optimization phase to focus entirely on geometric expansion rather than resolving lingering soft overlaps." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_avg_wall_distance**: The average distance from circles' edges to the container walls.\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

These recommendations aim to combine the structural robustness of the current best program with dynamic optimization strategies found in other high-performing generations.\n\n1. **Cyclical \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule**\n Replace the current monotonic relaxation schedule (Phase 2) with an oscillating \"breathing\" pattern (e.g., `1e2 -> 1e4 -> 1e2 -> 1e5`). While the Current Best uses strictly increasing weights (`1e2, 1e4, 1e6`), insights from Generation 62 suggest that temporarily lowering the penalty allows the system to escape local jamming configurations before re-hardening, potentially finding a denser packing configuration that a monotonic schedule would miss.\n\n2. **Multi-Candidate Greedy Search (Beam-Lite)**\n Expand the Phase 3 iterative improvement loop to evaluate multiple move candidates rather than just the first valid one. Instead of moving the \"runt\" (smallest circle) solely to the *single* largest void, generate candidates for the top 3 largest voids and the top 3 potential swaps (including the largest circle and random large circles). Run the \"Fast Relax\" and LP validation on *all* candidates, then commit to the one yielding the highest global radius sum.\n\n3. **Continuous Void Center Refinement**\n Augment the `find_largest_void_voronoi` function to perform a local coordinate optimization. After identifying the best discrete candidate point (from Voronoi vertices or boundary samples), use `scipy.optimize.minimize` to locally maximize the minimum distance to the nearest wall or circle boundary. This ensures the moved circle is placed at the exact mathematical center of the void (Chebyshev center) before physical relaxation begins, providing a superior starting point for the solver.\n\n4. **Local Neighborhood Swapping**\n Introduce a \"Local Swap\" heuristic in Phase 3. The current program only attempts to swap the runt with the globally largest circle, which effectively \"teleports\" mass across the container. Add a logic branch that attempts to swap the runt with its *geometric neighbors* (circles sharing a Voronoi edge or within a distance threshold). This directly addresses local packing inefficiencies (\"clogs\") where a small circle prevents its immediate neighbors from expanding.\n\n5. **Inter-Phase LP Rectification**\n Insert a call to `optimize_radii_lp` *inside* the Phase 2 relaxation loop, specifically between the transition from low to high penalty weights. By mathematically maximizing the radii for the current centers using Linear Programming before increasing the stiffness (e.g., after the `1e2` stage), you reset the solver to a strictly overlap-free state. This allows the subsequent \"Hard\" optimization phase to focus entirely on geometric expansion rather than resolving lingering soft overlaps." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_avg_wall_distance**: The average distance from circles' edges to the container walls.\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

Stable numeric checks to avoid invalid overlap/out-of-bound states.\n\nBe creative but prioritize correctness and stable improvements.\n\nAnalyze the current program to identify its key parameters and algorithmic components, then design a new algorithm with different parameter settings and configurations.\nYou MUST respond using a short summary name, description and the full code:\n\n\nA shortened name summarizing the code you are proposing. Lowercase, no \nspaces, underscores allowed.\n\n\n\nIdentify the key parameters in the current approach and explain how your new parameter choices or algorithmic configuration will lead to better performance.\n\n\n\n```{language}\n# The new parametric algorithm implementation here.\n```\n\n\n* Keep the markers \"EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\" and \"EVOLVE-BLOCK-END\" in the code.\n* Identify parameters like: learning rates, iteration counts, thresholds, weights, selection criteria, etc.\n* Design a new algorithm with different parameter values or configurations.\n* Consider adaptive parameters, different optimization strategies, or alternative heuristics.\n* Maintain the same inputs and outputs as the original program.\n* Use the , , and delimiters to structure your response. It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of the Current Best Program (**Generation 54**) and the global insights from Generations 60-69, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future program mutations. These recommendations aim to combine the structural robustness of the current best program with dynamic optimization strategies found in other high-performing generations.\n\n1. **Cyclical \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule**\n Replace the current monotonic relaxation schedule (Phase 2) with an oscillating \"breathing\" pattern (e.g., `1e2 -> 1e4 -> 1e2 -> 1e5`). While the Current Best uses strictly increasing weights (`1e2, 1e4, 1e6`), insights from Generation 62 suggest that temporarily lowering the penalty allows the system to escape local jamming configurations before re-hardening, potentially finding a denser packing configuration that a monotonic schedule would miss.\n\n2. **Multi-Candidate Greedy Search (Beam-Lite)**\n Expand the Phase 3 iterative improvement loop to evaluate multiple move candidates rather than just the first valid one. Instead of moving the \"runt\" (smallest circle) solely to the *single* largest void, generate candidates for the top 3 largest voids and the top 3 potential swaps (including the largest circle and random large circles). Run the \"Fast Relax\" and LP validation on *all* candidates, then commit to the one yielding the highest global radius sum.\n\n3. **Continuous Void Center Refinement**\n Augment the `find_largest_void_voronoi` function to perform a local coordinate optimization. After identifying the best discrete candidate point (from Voronoi vertices or boundary samples), use `scipy.optimize.minimize` to locally maximize the minimum distance to the nearest wall or circle boundary. This ensures the moved circle is placed at the exact mathematical center of the void (Chebyshev center) before physical relaxation begins, providing a superior starting point for the solver.\n\n4. **Local Neighborhood Swapping**\n Introduce a \"Local Swap\" heuristic in Phase 3. The current program only attempts to swap the runt with the globally largest circle, which effectively \"teleports\" mass across the container. Add a logic branch that attempts to swap the runt with its *geometric neighbors* (circles sharing a Voronoi edge or within a distance threshold). This directly addresses local packing inefficiencies (\"clogs\") where a small circle prevents its immediate neighbors from expanding.\n\n5. **Inter-Phase LP Rectification**\n Insert a call to `optimize_radii_lp` *inside* the Phase 2 relaxation loop, specifically between the transition from low to high penalty weights. By mathematically maximizing the radii for the current centers using Linear Programming before increasing the stiffness (e.g., after the `1e2` stage), you reset the solver to a strictly overlap-free state. This allows the subsequent \"Hard\" optimization phase to focus entirely on geometric expansion rather than resolving lingering soft overlaps." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n Strategy:\n 1.

Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

These recommendations aim to combine the structural robustness of the current best program with dynamic optimization strategies found in other high-performing generations.\n\n1. **Cyclical \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule**\n Replace the current monotonic relaxation schedule (Phase 2) with an oscillating \"breathing\" pattern (e.g., `1e2 -> 1e4 -> 1e2 -> 1e5`). While the Current Best uses strictly increasing weights (`1e2, 1e4, 1e6`), insights from Generation 62 suggest that temporarily lowering the penalty allows the system to escape local jamming configurations before re-hardening, potentially finding a denser packing configuration that a monotonic schedule would miss.\n\n2. **Multi-Candidate Greedy Search (Beam-Lite)**\n Expand the Phase 3 iterative improvement loop to evaluate multiple move candidates rather than just the first valid one. Instead of moving the \"runt\" (smallest circle) solely to the *single* largest void, generate candidates for the top 3 largest voids and the top 3 potential swaps (including the largest circle and random large circles). Run the \"Fast Relax\" and LP validation on *all* candidates, then commit to the one yielding the highest global radius sum.\n\n3. **Continuous Void Center Refinement**\n Augment the `find_largest_void_voronoi` function to perform a local coordinate optimization. After identifying the best discrete candidate point (from Voronoi vertices or boundary samples), use `scipy.optimize.minimize` to locally maximize the minimum distance to the nearest wall or circle boundary. This ensures the moved circle is placed at the exact mathematical center of the void (Chebyshev center) before physical relaxation begins, providing a superior starting point for the solver.\n\n4. **Local Neighborhood Swapping**\n Introduce a \"Local Swap\" heuristic in Phase 3. The current program only attempts to swap the runt with the globally largest circle, which effectively \"teleports\" mass across the container. Add a logic branch that attempts to swap the runt with its *geometric neighbors* (circles sharing a Voronoi edge or within a distance threshold). This directly addresses local packing inefficiencies (\"clogs\") where a small circle prevents its immediate neighbors from expanding.\n\n5. **Inter-Phase LP Rectification**\n Insert a call to `optimize_radii_lp` *inside* the Phase 2 relaxation loop, specifically between the transition from low to high penalty weights. By mathematically maximizing the radii for the current centers using Linear Programming before increasing the stiffness (e.g., after the `1e2` stage), you reset the solver to a strictly overlap-free state. This allows the subsequent \"Hard\" optimization phase to focus entirely on geometric expansion rather than resolving lingering soft overlaps." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_avg_wall_distance**: The average distance from circles' edges to the container walls.\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

Hybrid arrangements with variable radii.\n2. Better edge/corner utilization.\n3. Careful placement + robust radius assignment.\n4. Iterative local improvements and perturbation heuristics.\n5.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of the Current Best Program (**Generation 54**) and the global insights from Generations 60-69, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future program mutations. These recommendations aim to combine the structural robustness of the current best program with dynamic optimization strategies found in other high-performing generations.\n\n1. **Cyclical \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule**\n Replace the current monotonic relaxation schedule (Phase 2) with an oscillating \"breathing\" pattern (e.g., `1e2 -> 1e4 -> 1e2 -> 1e5`). While the Current Best uses strictly increasing weights (`1e2, 1e4, 1e6`), insights from Generation 62 suggest that temporarily lowering the penalty allows the system to escape local jamming configurations before re-hardening, potentially finding a denser packing configuration that a monotonic schedule would miss.\n\n2. **Multi-Candidate Greedy Search (Beam-Lite)**\n Expand the Phase 3 iterative improvement loop to evaluate multiple move candidates rather than just the first valid one. Instead of moving the \"runt\" (smallest circle) solely to the *single* largest void, generate candidates for the top 3 largest voids and the top 3 potential swaps (including the largest circle and random large circles). Run the \"Fast Relax\" and LP validation on *all* candidates, then commit to the one yielding the highest global radius sum.\n\n3. **Continuous Void Center Refinement**\n Augment the `find_largest_void_voronoi` function to perform a local coordinate optimization. After identifying the best discrete candidate point (from Voronoi vertices or boundary samples), use `scipy.optimize.minimize` to locally maximize the minimum distance to the nearest wall or circle boundary. This ensures the moved circle is placed at the exact mathematical center of the void (Chebyshev center) before physical relaxation begins, providing a superior starting point for the solver.\n\n4. **Local Neighborhood Swapping**\n Introduce a \"Local Swap\" heuristic in Phase 3. The current program only attempts to swap the runt with the globally largest circle, which effectively \"teleports\" mass across the container. Add a logic branch that attempts to swap the runt with its *geometric neighbors* (circles sharing a Voronoi edge or within a distance threshold). This directly addresses local packing inefficiencies (\"clogs\") where a small circle prevents its immediate neighbors from expanding.\n\n5. **Inter-Phase LP Rectification**\n Insert a call to `optimize_radii_lp` *inside* the Phase 2 relaxation loop, specifically between the transition from low to high penalty weights. By mathematically maximizing the radii for the current centers using Linear Programming before increasing the stiffness (e.g., after the `1e2` stage), you reset the solver to a strictly overlap-free state. This allows the subsequent \"Hard\" optimization phase to focus entirely on geometric expansion rather than resolving lingering soft overlaps." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the analysis of the Current Best Program (**Generation 54**) and the global insights from Generations 60-69, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future program mutations. These recommendations aim to combine the structural robustness of the current best program with dynamic optimization strategies found in other high-performing generations.\n\n1. **Cyclical \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule**\n Replace the current monotonic relaxation schedule (Phase 2) with an oscillating \"breathing\" pattern (e.g., `1e2 -> 1e4 -> 1e2 -> 1e5`). While the Current Best uses strictly increasing weights (`1e2, 1e4, 1e6`), insights from Generation 62 suggest that temporarily lowering the penalty allows the system to escape local jamming configurations before re-hardening, potentially finding a denser packing configuration that a monotonic schedule would miss.\n\n2. **Multi-Candidate Greedy Search (Beam-Lite)**\n Expand the Phase 3 iterative improvement loop to evaluate multiple move candidates rather than just the first valid one. Instead of moving the \"runt\" (smallest circle) solely to the *single* largest void, generate candidates for the top 3 largest voids and the top 3 potential swaps (including the largest circle and random large circles). Run the \"Fast Relax\" and LP validation on *all* candidates, then commit to the one yielding the highest global radius sum.\n\n3. **Continuous Void Center Refinement**\n Augment the `find_largest_void_voronoi` function to perform a local coordinate optimization. After identifying the best discrete candidate point (from Voronoi vertices or boundary samples), use `scipy.optimize.minimize` to locally maximize the minimum distance to the nearest wall or circle boundary. This ensures the moved circle is placed at the exact mathematical center of the void (Chebyshev center) before physical relaxation begins, providing a superior starting point for the solver.\n\n4. **Local Neighborhood Swapping**\n Introduce a \"Local Swap\" heuristic in Phase 3. The current program only attempts to swap the runt with the globally largest circle, which effectively \"teleports\" mass across the container. Add a logic branch that attempts to swap the runt with its *geometric neighbors* (circles sharing a Voronoi edge or within a distance threshold). This directly addresses local packing inefficiencies (\"clogs\") where a small circle prevents its immediate neighbors from expanding.\n\n5. **Inter-Phase LP Rectification**\n Insert a call to `optimize_radii_lp` *inside* the Phase 2 relaxation loop, specifically between the transition from low to high penalty weights. By mathematically maximizing the radii for the current centers using Linear Programming before increasing the stiffness (e.g., after the `1e2` stage), you reset the solver to a strictly overlap-free state. This allows the subsequent \"Hard\" optimization phase to focus entirely on geometric expansion rather than resolving lingering soft overlaps." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n Strategy:\n 1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

Key innovations include:\n1. **Cyclical \"Breathing\" Schedule**: The stiffness weights follow a Low-High-Low-High pattern (1e2 -> 1e4 -> 1e1 -> 1e5). The \"Low\" phases allow soft overlaps, permitting the circles to reconfigure and escape local jamming, while \"High\" phases enforce strict geometry.\n2. **Beam-Lite Search**: In the refinement phase, instead of greedily accepting the first valid move for the smallest circle (\"runt\"), the algorithm generates multiple candidates (top 3 void placements + swaps with largest circles), relaxes each candidate briefly, and scores them using LP. This lookahead prevents choosing suboptimal local moves.\n3. **Inter-Phase LP Rectification**: Linear Programming is called inside the relaxation loop (between stiffness changes) to reset the radii to their mathematically optimal values for the current centers.

These recommendations aim to combine the structural robustness of the current best program with dynamic optimization strategies found in other high-performing generations.\n\n1. **Cyclical \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule**\n Replace the current monotonic relaxation schedule (Phase 2) with an oscillating \"breathing\" pattern (e.g., `1e2 -> 1e4 -> 1e2 -> 1e5`). While the Current Best uses strictly increasing weights (`1e2, 1e4, 1e6`), insights from Generation 62 suggest that temporarily lowering the penalty allows the system to escape local jamming configurations before re-hardening, potentially finding a denser packing configuration that a monotonic schedule would miss.\n\n2. **Multi-Candidate Greedy Search (Beam-Lite)**\n Expand the Phase 3 iterative improvement loop to evaluate multiple move candidates rather than just the first valid one. Instead of moving the \"runt\" (smallest circle) solely to the *single* largest void, generate candidates for the top 3 largest voids and the top 3 potential swaps (including the largest circle and random large circles). Run the \"Fast Relax\" and LP validation on *all* candidates, then commit to the one yielding the highest global radius sum.\n\n3. **Continuous Void Center Refinement**\n Augment the `find_largest_void_voronoi` function to perform a local coordinate optimization. After identifying the best discrete candidate point (from Voronoi vertices or boundary samples), use `scipy.optimize.minimize` to locally maximize the minimum distance to the nearest wall or circle boundary. This ensures the moved circle is placed at the exact mathematical center of the void (Chebyshev center) before physical relaxation begins, providing a superior starting point for the solver.\n\n4. **Local Neighborhood Swapping**\n Introduce a \"Local Swap\" heuristic in Phase 3. The current program only attempts to swap the runt with the globally largest circle, which effectively \"teleports\" mass across the container. Add a logic branch that attempts to swap the runt with its *geometric neighbors* (circles sharing a Voronoi edge or within a distance threshold). This directly addresses local packing inefficiencies (\"clogs\") where a small circle prevents its immediate neighbors from expanding.\n\n5. **Inter-Phase LP Rectification**\n Insert a call to `optimize_radii_lp` *inside* the Phase 2 relaxation loop, specifically between the transition from low to high penalty weights. By mathematically maximizing the radii for the current centers using Linear Programming before increasing the stiffness (e.g., after the `1e2` stage), you reset the solver to a strictly overlap-free state. This allows the subsequent \"Hard\" optimization phase to focus entirely on geometric expansion rather than resolving lingering soft overlaps." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

The relaxation step allows the packing to expand and rearrange (\"breathe\") to escape local jamming before re-hardening.\n2. **Beam-Lite Topological Surgery**: Replaces the single-move Remove-Relax-Insert heuristic with a beam-search-like strategy. For the smallest circles (\"runts\"), it evaluates multiple move types (relocation to top-k voids, swapping with the largest circle, swapping with geometric neighbors) using Linear Programming. It greedily pursues the best move found.\n3. **Find Best Voids**: Replaces the single-void finder with `find_best_voids`, which identifies and locally optimizes the top-k distinct voids using Voronoi, boundary, and random sampling combined with Nelder-Mead refinement. This provides diverse relocation targets for the beam search.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

The relaxation step allows the packing to expand and rearrange (\"breathe\") to escape local jamming before re-hardening.\n2. **Beam-Lite Topological Surgery**: Replaces the single-move Remove-Relax-Insert heuristic with a beam-search-like strategy. For the smallest circles (\"runts\"), it evaluates multiple move types (relocation to top-k voids, swapping with the largest circle, swapping with geometric neighbors) using Linear Programming. It greedily pursues the best move found.\n3. **Find Best Voids**: Replaces the single-void finder with `find_best_voids`, which identifies and locally optimizes the top-k distinct voids using Voronoi, boundary, and random sampling combined with Nelder-Mead refinement. This provides diverse relocation targets for the beam search.\n\n\n\n<<<<<<< SEARCH\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

These recommendations aim to combine the structural robustness of the current best program with dynamic optimization strategies found in other high-performing generations.\n\n1. **Cyclical \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule**\n Replace the current monotonic relaxation schedule (Phase 2) with an oscillating \"breathing\" pattern (e.g., `1e2 -> 1e4 -> 1e2 -> 1e5`). While the Current Best uses strictly increasing weights (`1e2, 1e4, 1e6`), insights from Generation 62 suggest that temporarily lowering the penalty allows the system to escape local jamming configurations before re-hardening, potentially finding a denser packing configuration that a monotonic schedule would miss.\n\n2. **Multi-Candidate Greedy Search (Beam-Lite)**\n Expand the Phase 3 iterative improvement loop to evaluate multiple move candidates rather than just the first valid one. Instead of moving the \"runt\" (smallest circle) solely to the *single* largest void, generate candidates for the top 3 largest voids and the top 3 potential swaps (including the largest circle and random large circles). Run the \"Fast Relax\" and LP validation on *all* candidates, then commit to the one yielding the highest global radius sum.\n\n3. **Continuous Void Center Refinement**\n Augment the `find_largest_void_voronoi` function to perform a local coordinate optimization. After identifying the best discrete candidate point (from Voronoi vertices or boundary samples), use `scipy.optimize.minimize` to locally maximize the minimum distance to the nearest wall or circle boundary. This ensures the moved circle is placed at the exact mathematical center of the void (Chebyshev center) before physical relaxation begins, providing a superior starting point for the solver.\n\n4. **Local Neighborhood Swapping**\n Introduce a \"Local Swap\" heuristic in Phase 3. The current program only attempts to swap the runt with the globally largest circle, which effectively \"teleports\" mass across the container. Add a logic branch that attempts to swap the runt with its *geometric neighbors* (circles sharing a Voronoi edge or within a distance threshold). This directly addresses local packing inefficiencies (\"clogs\") where a small circle prevents its immediate neighbors from expanding.\n\n5. **Inter-Phase LP Rectification**\n Insert a call to `optimize_radii_lp` *inside* the Phase 2 relaxation loop, specifically between the transition from low to high penalty weights. By mathematically maximizing the radii for the current centers using Linear Programming before increasing the stiffness (e.g., after the `1e2` stage), you reset the solver to a strictly overlap-free state. This allows the subsequent \"Hard\" optimization phase to focus entirely on geometric expansion rather than resolving lingering soft overlaps." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles using hybrid optimization\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n\n Strategy:\n 1.

Analysis of **Generation 71** and **73** confirms that temporarily dropping the penalty weight back to `1e2` allows the system to escape local jamming configurations (local minima) that monotonic hardening locks into place, potentially unlocking the last ~0.005 gain in radius sum.\n\n2. **Multi-Candidate \"Beam\" Search in Phase 3**\n Expand the iterative improvement loop to evaluate the **Top-3** largest voids and **Top-3** swap candidates instead of greedily accepting the first valid move. The current program commits to the first move that improves the score, which is often suboptimal; by running the \"Fast Relax\" (`maxiter=100`) and LP validation on a small batch of 6 candidates per iteration, the algorithm can select the move with the highest long-term potential.\n\n3. **Continuous Void Center Optimization**\n Upgrade `find_largest_void_voronoi` to refine the discrete candidate points using a local optimizer. After selecting the best vertex or boundary sample, run `scipy.optimize.minimize` to maximize the distance to the nearest wall or circle boundary. This places the inserted circle at the exact mathematical Chebyshev center of the void, reducing initial energy spikes and allowing for a larger starting radius than the current grid/vertex approximation.\n\n4. **Local \"Cluster-Busting\" Neighbor Swaps**\n Introduce a specific swapping heuristic that targets the geometric neighbors of the \"runt\" circle. The current \"Swap with Largest\" strategy works globally but misses local optimizations; swapping a small \"runt\" with a medium-sized neighbor that is constrained by a different set of obstacles can resolve local packing \"clogs\" without disrupting the global structure.\n\n5. **Inter-Phase LP Rectification**\n Insert a call to `optimize_radii_lp` directly inside the Phase 2 relaxation loop, specifically between the low-stiffness (`1e2`) and high-stiffness (`1e4`) stages. This resets the radii to a mathematically valid (overlap-free) configuration before the solver attempts to enforce hard constraints, ensuring the optimizer spends its budget on expansion rather than resolving soft overlaps accumulated during the low-stiffness phase." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"Constructor-based circle packing for n=26 circles\"\"\"\n\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\n\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Construct a packing of 26 circles in a unit square.\n Strategy:\n 1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the performance of the **Current Best Program (Generation 54, Score: 2.6235)** and the comparative analysis of Generations 70-79, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future mutations. These recommendations aim to integrate the dynamic \"breathing\" strategies of recent high performers into the structurally superior boundary-aware logic of the current best program.\n\n1. **Cyclical \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule**\n Replace the monotonic Phase 2 schedule (`1e2 -> 1e4 -> 1e6`) with an oscillating pattern (e.g., `1e2 -> 1e4 -> 1e2 -> 1e5`). Analysis of **Generation 71** and **73** confirms that temporarily dropping the penalty weight back to `1e2` allows the system to escape local jamming configurations (local minima) that monotonic hardening locks into place, potentially unlocking the last ~0.005 gain in radius sum.\n\n2. **Multi-Candidate \"Beam\" Search in Phase 3**\n Expand the iterative improvement loop to evaluate the **Top-3** largest voids and **Top-3** swap candidates instead of greedily accepting the first valid move. The current program commits to the first move that improves the score, which is often suboptimal; by running the \"Fast Relax\" (`maxiter=100`) and LP validation on a small batch of 6 candidates per iteration, the algorithm can select the move with the highest long-term potential.\n\n3. **Continuous Void Center Optimization**\n Upgrade `find_largest_void_voronoi` to refine the discrete candidate points using a local optimizer. After selecting the best vertex or boundary sample, run `scipy.optimize.minimize` to maximize the distance to the nearest wall or circle boundary. This places the inserted circle at the exact mathematical Chebyshev center of the void, reducing initial energy spikes and allowing for a larger starting radius than the current grid/vertex approximation.\n\n4. **Local \"Cluster-Busting\" Neighbor Swaps**\n Introduce a specific swapping heuristic that targets the geometric neighbors of the \"runt\" circle. The current \"Swap with Largest\" strategy works globally but misses local optimizations; swapping a small \"runt\" with a medium-sized neighbor that is constrained by a different set of obstacles can resolve local packing \"clogs\" without disrupting the global structure.\n\n5. **Inter-Phase LP Rectification**\n Insert a call to `optimize_radii_lp` directly inside the Phase 2 relaxation loop, specifically between the low-stiffness (`1e2`) and high-stiffness (`1e4`) stages. This resets the radii to a mathematically valid (overlap-free) configuration before the solver attempts to enforce hard constraints, ensuring the optimizer spends its budget on expansion rather than resolving soft overlaps accumulated during the low-stiffness phase." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nBreathing Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_avg_wall_distance**: The average distance from circles' edges to the container walls.\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries.

These recommendations aim to integrate the dynamic \"breathing\" strategies of recent high performers into the structurally superior boundary-aware logic of the current best program.\n\n1. **Cyclical \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule**\n Replace the monotonic Phase 2 schedule (`1e2 -> 1e4 -> 1e6`) with an oscillating pattern (e.g., `1e2 -> 1e4 -> 1e2 -> 1e5`). Analysis of **Generation 71** and **73** confirms that temporarily dropping the penalty weight back to `1e2` allows the system to escape local jamming configurations (local minima) that monotonic hardening locks into place, potentially unlocking the last ~0.005 gain in radius sum.\n\n2. **Multi-Candidate \"Beam\" Search in Phase 3**\n Expand the iterative improvement loop to evaluate the **Top-3** largest voids and **Top-3** swap candidates instead of greedily accepting the first valid move. The current program commits to the first move that improves the score, which is often suboptimal; by running the \"Fast Relax\" (`maxiter=100`) and LP validation on a small batch of 6 candidates per iteration, the algorithm can select the move with the highest long-term potential.\n\n3. **Continuous Void Center Optimization**\n Upgrade `find_largest_void_voronoi` to refine the discrete candidate points using a local optimizer. After selecting the best vertex or boundary sample, run `scipy.optimize.minimize` to maximize the distance to the nearest wall or circle boundary. This places the inserted circle at the exact mathematical Chebyshev center of the void, reducing initial energy spikes and allowing for a larger starting radius than the current grid/vertex approximation.\n\n4. **Local \"Cluster-Busting\" Neighbor Swaps**\n Introduce a specific swapping heuristic that targets the geometric neighbors of the \"runt\" circle. The current \"Swap with Largest\" strategy works globally but misses local optimizations; swapping a small \"runt\" with a medium-sized neighbor that is constrained by a different set of obstacles can resolve local packing \"clogs\" without disrupting the global structure.\n\n5. **Inter-Phase LP Rectification**\n Insert a call to `optimize_radii_lp` directly inside the Phase 2 relaxation loop, specifically between the low-stiffness (`1e2`) and high-stiffness (`1e4`) stages. This resets the radii to a mathematically valid (overlap-free) configuration before the solver attempts to enforce hard constraints, ensuring the optimizer spends its budget on expansion rather than resolving soft overlaps accumulated during the low-stiffness phase." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHybrid Pulsing Beam Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Micro-Relaxation Lookahead heuristics.\n\"\"\"\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(4242)\n\n # --- Phase 1: Topology Generation (Equal Circles) ---\n candidates = []\n\n seeds = []\n # 1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

These recommendations aim to integrate the dynamic \"breathing\" strategies of recent high performers into the structurally superior boundary-aware logic of the current best program.\n\n1. **Cyclical \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule**\n Replace the monotonic Phase 2 schedule (`1e2 -> 1e4 -> 1e6`) with an oscillating pattern (e.g., `1e2 -> 1e4 -> 1e2 -> 1e5`). Analysis of **Generation 71** and **73** confirms that temporarily dropping the penalty weight back to `1e2` allows the system to escape local jamming configurations (local minima) that monotonic hardening locks into place, potentially unlocking the last ~0.005 gain in radius sum.\n\n2. **Multi-Candidate \"Beam\" Search in Phase 3**\n Expand the iterative improvement loop to evaluate the **Top-3** largest voids and **Top-3** swap candidates instead of greedily accepting the first valid move. The current program commits to the first move that improves the score, which is often suboptimal; by running the \"Fast Relax\" (`maxiter=100`) and LP validation on a small batch of 6 candidates per iteration, the algorithm can select the move with the highest long-term potential.\n\n3. **Continuous Void Center Optimization**\n Upgrade `find_largest_void_voronoi` to refine the discrete candidate points using a local optimizer. After selecting the best vertex or boundary sample, run `scipy.optimize.minimize` to maximize the distance to the nearest wall or circle boundary. This places the inserted circle at the exact mathematical Chebyshev center of the void, reducing initial energy spikes and allowing for a larger starting radius than the current grid/vertex approximation.\n\n4. **Local \"Cluster-Busting\" Neighbor Swaps**\n Introduce a specific swapping heuristic that targets the geometric neighbors of the \"runt\" circle. The current \"Swap with Largest\" strategy works globally but misses local optimizations; swapping a small \"runt\" with a medium-sized neighbor that is constrained by a different set of obstacles can resolve local packing \"clogs\" without disrupting the global structure.\n\n5. **Inter-Phase LP Rectification**\n Insert a call to `optimize_radii_lp` directly inside the Phase 2 relaxation loop, specifically between the low-stiffness (`1e2`) and high-stiffness (`1e4`) stages. This resets the radii to a mathematically valid (overlap-free) configuration before the solver attempts to enforce hard constraints, ensuring the optimizer spends its budget on expansion rather than resolving soft overlaps accumulated during the low-stiffness phase." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHybrid Pulsing Beam Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Micro-Relaxation Lookahead heuristics.\n\"\"\"\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(4242)\n\n # --- Phase 1: Topology Generation (Equal Circles) ---\n candidates = []\n\n seeds = []\n # 1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_avg_wall_distance**: The average distance from circles' edges to the container walls.\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

The best known result for the sum of radii\nwhen packing 26 circles in a unit square is around 2.635.\n\nYour objective:\n- Maximize sum of radii for 26 non-overlapping circles in [0,1] x [0,1].\n\nHard constraints:\n- All circles must be disjoint.\n- All circles must lie fully inside the unit square.\n- Return valid output in the evaluator contract.\n\nUseful directions:\n1. Hybrid arrangements with variable radii.\n2. Better edge/corner utilization.\n3. Careful placement + robust radius assignment.\n4. Iterative local improvements and perturbation heuristics.\n5. Stable numeric checks to avoid invalid overlap/out-of-bound states.\n\nBe creative but prioritize correctness and stable improvements.\n\nCreate a novel algorithm that draws inspiration from the provided context programs but implements a fundamentally different approach.\nStudy the patterns and techniques from the examples, then design something new.\nYou MUST respond using a short summary name, description and the full code:\n\n\nA shortened name summarizing the code you are proposing.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the performance of the **Current Best Program (Generation 54, Score: 2.6235)** and the comparative analysis of Generations 70-79, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future mutations. These recommendations aim to integrate the dynamic \"breathing\" strategies of recent high performers into the structurally superior boundary-aware logic of the current best program.\n\n1. **Cyclical \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule**\n Replace the monotonic Phase 2 schedule (`1e2 -> 1e4 -> 1e6`) with an oscillating pattern (e.g., `1e2 -> 1e4 -> 1e2 -> 1e5`). Analysis of **Generation 71** and **73** confirms that temporarily dropping the penalty weight back to `1e2` allows the system to escape local jamming configurations (local minima) that monotonic hardening locks into place, potentially unlocking the last ~0.005 gain in radius sum.\n\n2. **Multi-Candidate \"Beam\" Search in Phase 3**\n Expand the iterative improvement loop to evaluate the **Top-3** largest voids and **Top-3** swap candidates instead of greedily accepting the first valid move. The current program commits to the first move that improves the score, which is often suboptimal; by running the \"Fast Relax\" (`maxiter=100`) and LP validation on a small batch of 6 candidates per iteration, the algorithm can select the move with the highest long-term potential.\n\n3. **Continuous Void Center Optimization**\n Upgrade `find_largest_void_voronoi` to refine the discrete candidate points using a local optimizer. After selecting the best vertex or boundary sample, run `scipy.optimize.minimize` to maximize the distance to the nearest wall or circle boundary. This places the inserted circle at the exact mathematical Chebyshev center of the void, reducing initial energy spikes and allowing for a larger starting radius than the current grid/vertex approximation.\n\n4. **Local \"Cluster-Busting\" Neighbor Swaps**\n Introduce a specific swapping heuristic that targets the geometric neighbors of the \"runt\" circle. The current \"Swap with Largest\" strategy works globally but misses local optimizations; swapping a small \"runt\" with a medium-sized neighbor that is constrained by a different set of obstacles can resolve local packing \"clogs\" without disrupting the global structure.\n\n5. **Inter-Phase LP Rectification**\n Insert a call to `optimize_radii_lp` directly inside the Phase 2 relaxation loop, specifically between the low-stiffness (`1e2`) and high-stiffness (`1e4`) stages. This resets the radii to a mathematically valid (overlap-free) configuration before the solver attempts to enforce hard constraints, ensuring the optimizer spends its budget on expansion rather than resolving soft overlaps accumulated during the low-stiffness phase." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHybrid Pulsing Beam Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Micro-Relaxation Lookahead heuristics.\n\"\"\"\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(4242)\n\n # --- Phase 1: Topology Generation (Equal Circles) ---\n candidates = []\n\n seeds = []\n # 1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

The \"Breathe\" phase (low weight) allows circles to slide past each other, while the subsequent \"Rectify\" (LP) step resets them to a valid configuration before re-tightening.\n2. **Beam-Search Topological Surgery**: Rather than greedily accepting the first improving move, the algorithm generates a comprehensive set of candidate moves (void relocations, global swaps, and local neighbor swaps) for the worst-performing circles. It quickly evaluates these using LP and selects the single best global move, effectively performing a beam search of width 1 on the packing tree.\n3. **Inter-Phase LP Rectification**: Critically, the Linear Programming solver is called *between* the breathing and tightening phases. This prevents the optimizer from getting stuck trying to resolve large \"soft\" overlaps and instead allows it to focus on expanding circles from a valid geometric state.\n4. **Robust Void Refinement**: Uses Nelder-Mead optimization to refine Voronoi vertices into true Chebyshev centers, maximizing the initial radius of relocated circles.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nOscillating Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1. \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule (Hard -> Soft -> Hard) to escape local minima.\n2.

The \"Breathe\" phase (low weight) allows circles to slide past each other, while the subsequent \"Rectify\" (LP) step resets them to a valid configuration before re-tightening.\n2. **Beam-Search Topological Surgery**: Rather than greedily accepting the first improving move, the algorithm generates a comprehensive set of candidate moves (void relocations, global swaps, and local neighbor swaps) for the worst-performing circles. It quickly evaluates these using LP and selects the single best global move, effectively performing a beam search of width 1 on the packing tree.\n3. **Inter-Phase LP Rectification**: Critically, the Linear Programming solver is called *between* the breathing and tightening phases. This prevents the optimizer from getting stuck trying to resolve large \"soft\" overlaps and instead allows it to focus on expanding circles from a valid geometric state.\n4. **Robust Void Refinement**: Uses Nelder-Mead optimization to refine Voronoi vertices into true Chebyshev centers, maximizing the initial radius of relocated circles.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nOscillating Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1. \"Breathing\" Stiffness Schedule (Hard -> Soft -> Hard) to escape local minima.\n2.

(Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries.

These recommendations aim to apply the \"Uniformity\" and \"Breathing\" insights more granularly to the iterative improvement phases.\n\n1. **Regularized \"Mini-Breathing\" in Move Evaluation**\n Modify the candidate evaluation loop in Phase 3 (where potential moves like swaps or relocations are tested) to use a two-stage relaxation. Instead of a single `minimize` call with `power=1.0`, split the budget (e.g., 50 iterations) into **25 iterations at `power=0.5`** followed by **25 iterations at `power=1.0`**. This allows the local topology to reorganize and distribute space uniformly around the new move before aggressively maximizing the radii sum, preventing premature rejection of promising topological changes.\n\n2. **Uniformity-Driven Perturbation Recovery**\n Update the \"Perturbation Trigger\" block (the Gaussian shake) to utilize the inverse-power regularization. When the system shakes the centers (`x_pert`), run the initial recovery minimization with `power=0.5` (or `power=0.8`) instead of `1.0`. This helps \"heal\" the randomized configuration by forcing `runt` circles to regrow and re-establish valid spacing before the solver switches back to the sum-maximization objective.\n\n3. **Geometric Radius Initialization for Voids**\n In `Strategy A: Move to Void`, replace the heuristic radius initialization (`r_prop[worst_idx] = np.mean(...)`) with the exact **geometric clearance**. Use the distance to the nearest wall or circle (calculated during void finding) as the starting radius. This reduces the initial penalty spike in the non-linear solver, allowing the optimizer to start from a valid or near-valid state rather than wasting iterations resolving massive artificial overlaps created by the mean-radius guess.\n\n4. **Constraint-Aware Neighbor Swapping**\n Refine `Strategy C` to prioritize swapping with **active constraint neighbors** rather than just spatial neighbors. Select swap targets based on the \"gap\" `(distance - (r1 + r2))`\u2014neighbors with near-zero gaps are mechanically locking the runt in place. Swapping with these specific circles directly modifies the constraints limiting the runt, whereas swapping with a nearby non-touching circle may not resolve the local jam.\n\n5. **Stepped Power Transition Schedule**\n Smooth the transition in Phase 2 between the \"Uniformity\" (`power=0.5`) and \"Maximization\" (`power=1.0`) phases. Insert an intermediate stage, such as **`power=0.75` with `weight=1e3`**, between the hard `0.5` and soft `1.0` steps. This gradual shift in the gradient landscape (from favoring small-circle growth to favoring total area) prevents the solver from snapping back to the original local minimum when the objective function changes abruptly." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nGraduated Breathing Circle Packing for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

These recommendations aim to apply the \"Uniformity\" and \"Breathing\" insights more granularly to the iterative improvement phases.\n\n1. **Regularized \"Mini-Breathing\" in Move Evaluation**\n Modify the candidate evaluation loop in Phase 3 (where potential moves like swaps or relocations are tested) to use a two-stage relaxation. Instead of a single `minimize` call with `power=1.0`, split the budget (e.g., 50 iterations) into **25 iterations at `power=0.5`** followed by **25 iterations at `power=1.0`**. This allows the local topology to reorganize and distribute space uniformly around the new move before aggressively maximizing the radii sum, preventing premature rejection of promising topological changes.\n\n2. **Uniformity-Driven Perturbation Recovery**\n Update the \"Perturbation Trigger\" block (the Gaussian shake) to utilize the inverse-power regularization. When the system shakes the centers (`x_pert`), run the initial recovery minimization with `power=0.5` (or `power=0.8`) instead of `1.0`. This helps \"heal\" the randomized configuration by forcing `runt` circles to regrow and re-establish valid spacing before the solver switches back to the sum-maximization objective.\n\n3. **Geometric Radius Initialization for Voids**\n In `Strategy A: Move to Void`, replace the heuristic radius initialization (`r_prop[worst_idx] = np.mean(...)`) with the exact **geometric clearance**. Use the distance to the nearest wall or circle (calculated during void finding) as the starting radius. This reduces the initial penalty spike in the non-linear solver, allowing the optimizer to start from a valid or near-valid state rather than wasting iterations resolving massive artificial overlaps created by the mean-radius guess.\n\n4. **Constraint-Aware Neighbor Swapping**\n Refine `Strategy C` to prioritize swapping with **active constraint neighbors** rather than just spatial neighbors. Select swap targets based on the \"gap\" `(distance - (r1 + r2))`\u2014neighbors with near-zero gaps are mechanically locking the runt in place. Swapping with these specific circles directly modifies the constraints limiting the runt, whereas swapping with a nearby non-touching circle may not resolve the local jam.\n\n5. **Stepped Power Transition Schedule**\n Smooth the transition in Phase 2 between the \"Uniformity\" (`power=0.5`) and \"Maximization\" (`power=1.0`) phases. Insert an intermediate stage, such as **`power=0.75` with `weight=1e3`**, between the hard `0.5` and soft `1.0` steps. This gradual shift in the gradient landscape (from favoring small-circle growth to favoring total area) prevents the solver from snapping back to the original local minimum when the objective function changes abruptly." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nGraduated Breathing Circle Packing for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

These recommendations aim to apply the \"Uniformity\" and \"Breathing\" insights more granularly to the iterative improvement phases.\n\n1. **Regularized \"Mini-Breathing\" in Move Evaluation**\n Modify the candidate evaluation loop in Phase 3 (where potential moves like swaps or relocations are tested) to use a two-stage relaxation. Instead of a single `minimize` call with `power=1.0`, split the budget (e.g., 50 iterations) into **25 iterations at `power=0.5`** followed by **25 iterations at `power=1.0`**. This allows the local topology to reorganize and distribute space uniformly around the new move before aggressively maximizing the radii sum, preventing premature rejection of promising topological changes.\n\n2. **Uniformity-Driven Perturbation Recovery**\n Update the \"Perturbation Trigger\" block (the Gaussian shake) to utilize the inverse-power regularization. When the system shakes the centers (`x_pert`), run the initial recovery minimization with `power=0.5` (or `power=0.8`) instead of `1.0`. This helps \"heal\" the randomized configuration by forcing `runt` circles to regrow and re-establish valid spacing before the solver switches back to the sum-maximization objective.\n\n3. **Geometric Radius Initialization for Voids**\n In `Strategy A: Move to Void`, replace the heuristic radius initialization (`r_prop[worst_idx] = np.mean(...)`) with the exact **geometric clearance**. Use the distance to the nearest wall or circle (calculated during void finding) as the starting radius. This reduces the initial penalty spike in the non-linear solver, allowing the optimizer to start from a valid or near-valid state rather than wasting iterations resolving massive artificial overlaps created by the mean-radius guess.\n\n4. **Constraint-Aware Neighbor Swapping**\n Refine `Strategy C` to prioritize swapping with **active constraint neighbors** rather than just spatial neighbors. Select swap targets based on the \"gap\" `(distance - (r1 + r2))`\u2014neighbors with near-zero gaps are mechanically locking the runt in place. Swapping with these specific circles directly modifies the constraints limiting the runt, whereas swapping with a nearby non-touching circle may not resolve the local jam.\n\n5. **Stepped Power Transition Schedule**\n Smooth the transition in Phase 2 between the \"Uniformity\" (`power=0.5`) and \"Maximization\" (`power=1.0`) phases. Insert an intermediate stage, such as **`power=0.75` with `weight=1e3`**, between the hard `0.5` and soft `1.0` steps. This gradual shift in the gradient landscape (from favoring small-circle growth to favoring total area) prevents the solver from snapping back to the original local minimum when the objective function changes abruptly." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHybrid Pulsing Beam Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Micro-Relaxation Lookahead heuristics.\n\"\"\"\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(4242)\n\n # --- Phase 1: Topology Generation (Equal Circles) ---\n candidates = []\n\n seeds = []\n # 1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

It will be parsed afterwards.\n\n# Potential Recommendations\nThe following are potential recommendations for the next program generations:\n\n\nBased on the success of **Generation 81 (Score: 2.6277)**, which introduced the `power=0.5` uniformity regularization and LP-synchronized optimization, here are 5 actionable recommendations for future mutations. These recommendations aim to apply the \"Uniformity\" and \"Breathing\" insights more granularly to the iterative improvement phases.\n\n1. **Regularized \"Mini-Breathing\" in Move Evaluation**\n Modify the candidate evaluation loop in Phase 3 (where potential moves like swaps or relocations are tested) to use a two-stage relaxation. Instead of a single `minimize` call with `power=1.0`, split the budget (e.g., 50 iterations) into **25 iterations at `power=0.5`** followed by **25 iterations at `power=1.0`**. This allows the local topology to reorganize and distribute space uniformly around the new move before aggressively maximizing the radii sum, preventing premature rejection of promising topological changes.\n\n2. **Uniformity-Driven Perturbation Recovery**\n Update the \"Perturbation Trigger\" block (the Gaussian shake) to utilize the inverse-power regularization. When the system shakes the centers (`x_pert`), run the initial recovery minimization with `power=0.5` (or `power=0.8`) instead of `1.0`. This helps \"heal\" the randomized configuration by forcing `runt` circles to regrow and re-establish valid spacing before the solver switches back to the sum-maximization objective.\n\n3. **Geometric Radius Initialization for Voids**\n In `Strategy A: Move to Void`, replace the heuristic radius initialization (`r_prop[worst_idx] = np.mean(...)`) with the exact **geometric clearance**. Use the distance to the nearest wall or circle (calculated during void finding) as the starting radius. This reduces the initial penalty spike in the non-linear solver, allowing the optimizer to start from a valid or near-valid state rather than wasting iterations resolving massive artificial overlaps created by the mean-radius guess.\n\n4. **Constraint-Aware Neighbor Swapping**\n Refine `Strategy C` to prioritize swapping with **active constraint neighbors** rather than just spatial neighbors. Select swap targets based on the \"gap\" `(distance - (r1 + r2))`\u2014neighbors with near-zero gaps are mechanically locking the runt in place. Swapping with these specific circles directly modifies the constraints limiting the runt, whereas swapping with a nearby non-touching circle may not resolve the local jam.\n\n5. **Stepped Power Transition Schedule**\n Smooth the transition in Phase 2 between the \"Uniformity\" (`power=0.5`) and \"Maximization\" (`power=1.0`) phases. Insert an intermediate stage, such as **`power=0.75` with `weight=1e3`**, between the hard `0.5` and soft `1.0` steps. This gradual shift in the gradient landscape (from favoring small-circle growth to favoring total area) prevents the solver from snapping back to the original local minimum when the objective function changes abruptly." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHybrid Pulsing Beam Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam architecture with Micro-Relaxation Lookahead heuristics.\n\"\"\"\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n \"\"\"\n n = 26\n np.random.seed(4242)\n\n # --- Phase 1: Topology Generation (Equal Circles) ---\n candidates = []\n\n seeds = []\n # 1.

(Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries.

This creates a massive gradient force on \"runt\" (small) circles, pushing them to expand and forcing the surrounding packed structure to reorganize (elastic flow) to accommodate them.\n2. **Plastic Deformation Logic**: The algorithm iteratively identifies the \"runt\" circle (stress concentrator) and attempts \"plastic\" moves:\n * **Void Jump**: The runt is excised, the remaining N-1 circles are relaxed to find the true largest void, and the runt is re-injected there.\n * **Constraint Swapping**: The runt is swapped with neighbors that are mechanically locking it in place.\n3. **Two-Stage Move Evaluation**: Potential topological moves are evaluated first under the regularized `power=0.5` regime (allowing the geometry to settle uniformly) before being scored by Linear Programming. This prevents the rejection of topologically superior moves that initially have minor geometric overlaps.\n4. **Diverse Seeding**: Uses random, hexagonal, grid, and boundary-biased seeds to explore multiple starting topologies.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nViscoelastic Plasticity Packer for N=26.\n\nApproach:\n1.

This creates a massive gradient force on \"runt\" (small) circles, pushing them to expand and forcing the surrounding packed structure to reorganize (elastic flow) to accommodate them.\n2. **Plastic Deformation Logic**: The algorithm iteratively identifies the \"runt\" circle (stress concentrator) and attempts \"plastic\" moves:\n * **Void Jump**: The runt is excised, the remaining N-1 circles are relaxed to find the true largest void, and the runt is re-injected there.\n * **Constraint Swapping**: The runt is swapped with neighbors that are mechanically locking it in place.\n3. **Two-Stage Move Evaluation**: Potential topological moves are evaluated first under the regularized `power=0.5` regime (allowing the geometry to settle uniformly) before being scored by Linear Programming. This prevents the rejection of topologically superior moves that initially have minor geometric overlaps.\n4. **Diverse Seeding**: Uses random, hexagonal, grid, and boundary-biased seeds to explore multiple starting topologies.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nViscoelastic Plasticity Packer for N=26.\n\nApproach:\n1.

These recommendations aim to apply the \"Uniformity\" and \"Breathing\" insights more granularly to the iterative improvement phases.\n\n1. **Regularized \"Mini-Breathing\" in Move Evaluation**\n Modify the candidate evaluation loop in Phase 3 (where potential moves like swaps or relocations are tested) to use a two-stage relaxation. Instead of a single `minimize` call with `power=1.0`, split the budget (e.g., 50 iterations) into **25 iterations at `power=0.5`** followed by **25 iterations at `power=1.0`**. This allows the local topology to reorganize and distribute space uniformly around the new move before aggressively maximizing the radii sum, preventing premature rejection of promising topological changes.\n\n2. **Uniformity-Driven Perturbation Recovery**\n Update the \"Perturbation Trigger\" block (the Gaussian shake) to utilize the inverse-power regularization. When the system shakes the centers (`x_pert`), run the initial recovery minimization with `power=0.5` (or `power=0.8`) instead of `1.0`. This helps \"heal\" the randomized configuration by forcing `runt` circles to regrow and re-establish valid spacing before the solver switches back to the sum-maximization objective.\n\n3. **Geometric Radius Initialization for Voids**\n In `Strategy A: Move to Void`, replace the heuristic radius initialization (`r_prop[worst_idx] = np.mean(...)`) with the exact **geometric clearance**. Use the distance to the nearest wall or circle (calculated during void finding) as the starting radius. This reduces the initial penalty spike in the non-linear solver, allowing the optimizer to start from a valid or near-valid state rather than wasting iterations resolving massive artificial overlaps created by the mean-radius guess.\n\n4. **Constraint-Aware Neighbor Swapping**\n Refine `Strategy C` to prioritize swapping with **active constraint neighbors** rather than just spatial neighbors. Select swap targets based on the \"gap\" `(distance - (r1 + r2))`\u2014neighbors with near-zero gaps are mechanically locking the runt in place. Swapping with these specific circles directly modifies the constraints limiting the runt, whereas swapping with a nearby non-touching circle may not resolve the local jam.\n\n5. **Stepped Power Transition Schedule**\n Smooth the transition in Phase 2 between the \"Uniformity\" (`power=0.5`) and \"Maximization\" (`power=1.0`) phases. Insert an intermediate stage, such as **`power=0.75` with `weight=1e3`**, between the hard `0.5` and soft `1.0` steps. This gradual shift in the gradient landscape (from favoring small-circle growth to favoring total area) prevents the solver from snapping back to the original local minimum when the objective function changes abruptly." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nBreathing Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

It features a sophisticated stiffness schedule that transitions from soft regularized potentials (power=0.5) to hard packing potentials (power=1.0) through an intermediate step (power=0.8), effectively balancing uniformity and maximization. Key improvements include:\n1. **Geometric Void Initialization**: Topological moves to voids now initialize the radius with the exact geometric clearance, providing a valid starting point for the optimizer.\n2. **Constraint-Aware Swapping**: Swaps are targeted at neighbors causing active constraints (small gaps) rather than just spatial proximity.\n3. **Dual-Stage Evaluation**: Candidate moves and perturbation recovery steps use a two-phase relaxation (Soft -> Hard) to allow topological settling before final score evaluation.\n4. **Regularized Recovery**: Perturbation recovery uses power=0.5 to encourage uniform regrowth of circles after shaking.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHyper-Breathing Packer (N=26).\nIntegrates:\n1.

Key improvements include:\n1. **Geometric Void Initialization**: Topological moves to voids now initialize the radius with the exact geometric clearance, providing a valid starting point for the optimizer.\n2. **Constraint-Aware Swapping**: Swaps are targeted at neighbors causing active constraints (small gaps) rather than just spatial proximity.\n3. **Dual-Stage Evaluation**: Candidate moves and perturbation recovery steps use a two-phase relaxation (Soft -> Hard) to allow topological settling before final score evaluation.\n4. **Regularized Recovery**: Perturbation recovery uses power=0.5 to encourage uniform regrowth of circles after shaking.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHyper-Breathing Packer (N=26).\nIntegrates:\n1.

These recommendations aim to apply the \"Uniformity\" and \"Breathing\" insights more granularly to the iterative improvement phases.\n\n1. **Regularized \"Mini-Breathing\" in Move Evaluation**\n Modify the candidate evaluation loop in Phase 3 (where potential moves like swaps or relocations are tested) to use a two-stage relaxation. Instead of a single `minimize` call with `power=1.0`, split the budget (e.g., 50 iterations) into **25 iterations at `power=0.5`** followed by **25 iterations at `power=1.0`**. This allows the local topology to reorganize and distribute space uniformly around the new move before aggressively maximizing the radii sum, preventing premature rejection of promising topological changes.\n\n2. **Uniformity-Driven Perturbation Recovery**\n Update the \"Perturbation Trigger\" block (the Gaussian shake) to utilize the inverse-power regularization. When the system shakes the centers (`x_pert`), run the initial recovery minimization with `power=0.5` (or `power=0.8`) instead of `1.0`. This helps \"heal\" the randomized configuration by forcing `runt` circles to regrow and re-establish valid spacing before the solver switches back to the sum-maximization objective.\n\n3. **Geometric Radius Initialization for Voids**\n In `Strategy A: Move to Void`, replace the heuristic radius initialization (`r_prop[worst_idx] = np.mean(...)`) with the exact **geometric clearance**. Use the distance to the nearest wall or circle (calculated during void finding) as the starting radius. This reduces the initial penalty spike in the non-linear solver, allowing the optimizer to start from a valid or near-valid state rather than wasting iterations resolving massive artificial overlaps created by the mean-radius guess.\n\n4. **Constraint-Aware Neighbor Swapping**\n Refine `Strategy C` to prioritize swapping with **active constraint neighbors** rather than just spatial neighbors. Select swap targets based on the \"gap\" `(distance - (r1 + r2))`\u2014neighbors with near-zero gaps are mechanically locking the runt in place. Swapping with these specific circles directly modifies the constraints limiting the runt, whereas swapping with a nearby non-touching circle may not resolve the local jam.\n\n5. **Stepped Power Transition Schedule**\n Smooth the transition in Phase 2 between the \"Uniformity\" (`power=0.5`) and \"Maximization\" (`power=1.0`) phases. Insert an intermediate stage, such as **`power=0.75` with `weight=1e3`**, between the hard `0.5` and soft `1.0` steps. This gradual shift in the gradient landscape (from favoring small-circle growth to favoring total area) prevents the solver from snapping back to the original local minimum when the objective function changes abruptly." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nBreathing Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_boundary_distance_min**: Measures the minimum distance of any circle's edge to the unit square boundary (value < 0.0 indicates out-of-bounds). Higher is better.\n- **aux_final_overlap_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual overlap using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_final_wall_violation_sum**: Quantifies residual wall violations using the squared penalty formulation. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_distance_ratio**: Measures how close circles are to overlapping (value < 1.0 indicates overlap). Higher is better.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_normalized_avg_overlap_penalty**: Measures the average overlap amount per circle. Lower is better, ideally 0.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

These recommendations aim to apply the \"Uniformity\" and \"Breathing\" insights more granularly to the iterative improvement phases.\n\n1. **Regularized \"Mini-Breathing\" in Move Evaluation**\n Modify the candidate evaluation loop in Phase 3 (where potential moves like swaps or relocations are tested) to use a two-stage relaxation. Instead of a single `minimize` call with `power=1.0`, split the budget (e.g., 50 iterations) into **25 iterations at `power=0.5`** followed by **25 iterations at `power=1.0`**. This allows the local topology to reorganize and distribute space uniformly around the new move before aggressively maximizing the radii sum, preventing premature rejection of promising topological changes.\n\n2. **Uniformity-Driven Perturbation Recovery**\n Update the \"Perturbation Trigger\" block (the Gaussian shake) to utilize the inverse-power regularization. When the system shakes the centers (`x_pert`), run the initial recovery minimization with `power=0.5` (or `power=0.8`) instead of `1.0`. This helps \"heal\" the randomized configuration by forcing `runt` circles to regrow and re-establish valid spacing before the solver switches back to the sum-maximization objective.\n\n3. **Geometric Radius Initialization for Voids**\n In `Strategy A: Move to Void`, replace the heuristic radius initialization (`r_prop[worst_idx] = np.mean(...)`) with the exact **geometric clearance**. Use the distance to the nearest wall or circle (calculated during void finding) as the starting radius. This reduces the initial penalty spike in the non-linear solver, allowing the optimizer to start from a valid or near-valid state rather than wasting iterations resolving massive artificial overlaps created by the mean-radius guess.\n\n4. **Constraint-Aware Neighbor Swapping**\n Refine `Strategy C` to prioritize swapping with **active constraint neighbors** rather than just spatial neighbors. Select swap targets based on the \"gap\" `(distance - (r1 + r2))`\u2014neighbors with near-zero gaps are mechanically locking the runt in place. Swapping with these specific circles directly modifies the constraints limiting the runt, whereas swapping with a nearby non-touching circle may not resolve the local jam.\n\n5. **Stepped Power Transition Schedule**\n Smooth the transition in Phase 2 between the \"Uniformity\" (`power=0.5`) and \"Maximization\" (`power=1.0`) phases. Insert an intermediate stage, such as **`power=0.75` with `weight=1e3`**, between the hard `0.5` and soft `1.0` steps. This gradual shift in the gradient landscape (from favoring small-circle growth to favoring total area) prevents the solver from snapping back to the original local minimum when the objective function changes abruptly." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nGraduated Breathing Circle Packing for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

These recommendations aim to apply the \"Uniformity\" and \"Breathing\" insights more granularly to the iterative improvement phases.\n\n1. **Regularized \"Mini-Breathing\" in Move Evaluation**\n Modify the candidate evaluation loop in Phase 3 (where potential moves like swaps or relocations are tested) to use a two-stage relaxation. Instead of a single `minimize` call with `power=1.0`, split the budget (e.g., 50 iterations) into **25 iterations at `power=0.5`** followed by **25 iterations at `power=1.0`**. This allows the local topology to reorganize and distribute space uniformly around the new move before aggressively maximizing the radii sum, preventing premature rejection of promising topological changes.\n\n2. **Uniformity-Driven Perturbation Recovery**\n Update the \"Perturbation Trigger\" block (the Gaussian shake) to utilize the inverse-power regularization. When the system shakes the centers (`x_pert`), run the initial recovery minimization with `power=0.5` (or `power=0.8`) instead of `1.0`. This helps \"heal\" the randomized configuration by forcing `runt` circles to regrow and re-establish valid spacing before the solver switches back to the sum-maximization objective.\n\n3. **Geometric Radius Initialization for Voids**\n In `Strategy A: Move to Void`, replace the heuristic radius initialization (`r_prop[worst_idx] = np.mean(...)`) with the exact **geometric clearance**. Use the distance to the nearest wall or circle (calculated during void finding) as the starting radius. This reduces the initial penalty spike in the non-linear solver, allowing the optimizer to start from a valid or near-valid state rather than wasting iterations resolving massive artificial overlaps created by the mean-radius guess.\n\n4. **Constraint-Aware Neighbor Swapping**\n Refine `Strategy C` to prioritize swapping with **active constraint neighbors** rather than just spatial neighbors. Select swap targets based on the \"gap\" `(distance - (r1 + r2))`\u2014neighbors with near-zero gaps are mechanically locking the runt in place. Swapping with these specific circles directly modifies the constraints limiting the runt, whereas swapping with a nearby non-touching circle may not resolve the local jam.\n\n5. **Stepped Power Transition Schedule**\n Smooth the transition in Phase 2 between the \"Uniformity\" (`power=0.5`) and \"Maximization\" (`power=1.0`) phases. Insert an intermediate stage, such as **`power=0.75` with `weight=1e3`**, between the hard `0.5` and soft `1.0` steps. This gradual shift in the gradient landscape (from favoring small-circle growth to favoring total area) prevents the solver from snapping back to the original local minimum when the objective function changes abruptly." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "The previous attempt to get an edit was not successful because the LLM response was empty.

Unlike previous generations that optimized x, y, and r simultaneously in a non-linear solver, this algorithm iterates between three distinct phases:\n1. **Linear Programming (LP) Sizing**: For a fixed set of centers, the problem of maximizing the sum of radii subject to non-overlap constraints is solved exactly using `scipy.optimize.linprog`. This provides the mathematically optimal radii for the current topology.\n2. **Pressure-Driven Relaxation**: We define \"target radii\" slightly larger than the LP solution (simulating internal pressure) and use a gradient-based solver (`L-BFGS-B`) to adjust center positions to minimize overlap energy. This \"breathing\" creates space for growth.\n3. **Void-Hopping Topology Mutation**: To escape local optima and resolve \"runt\" circles (radii near zero), the algorithm identifies the circle with the poorest contribution and teleports it to the largest geometric void in the container, resetting the topology.\nThis method leverages the speed of LP for sizing and the robustness of \"Void Hunting\" to ensure efficient space utilization without getting stuck in jammed configurations.\n\n\n\n```{language}\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, squareform\nimport time\n\ndef solve():\n \"\"\"\n Maximizes the sum of radii for 26 circles in a unit square.\n Approach: Hybrid LP-Sizing + Spring Relaxation + Void Hopping.\n \"\"\"\n n_circles = 26\n \n # EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n # Hyperparameters\n time_limit = 28.0 # Seconds to run\n start_time = time.time()\n \n # Simulation params\n inflation_base = 1.05\n inflation_decay = 0.995\n min_inflation = 1.01\n \n # Initialize centers randomly in [0,1]\n # Use a stratified initialization or just random\n # Random is fine with void hopping\n X = np.random.rand(n_circles, 2)\n X = np.clip(X, 0.05, 0.95)\n \n # State tracking\n best_circles = None\n best_score = -1.0\n \n # Precompute indices for LP constraints to save time\n # Pairs (i, j) for i < j\n idx_pairs = []\n for i in range(n_circles):\n for j in range(i + 1, n_circles):\n idx_pairs.append((i, j))\n num_pairs = len(idx_pairs)\n \n # Constraint matrix structure for LP (A_ub) is fixed:\n # r_i + r_j <= d_ij\n # We construct A once, fill b (dists) dynamic\n A_ub = np.zeros((num_pairs, n_circles))\n for idx, (i, j) in enumerate(idx_pairs):\n A_ub[idx, i] = 1.0\n A_ub[idx, j] = 1.0\n \n def solve_radii_lp(centers):\n \"\"\"\n Solves the LP: Maximize sum(r) s.t. non-overlap and boundary constraints.\n Returns: optimal_radii, total_sum\n \"\"\"\n # Calculate pairwise distances\n dists = pdist(centers) # returns flattened distance array matching idx_pairs order\n \n # Bounds for radii: 0 <= r_i <= dist_to_wall\n # dist_to_wall = min(x, 1-x, y, 1-y)\n x = centers[:, 0]\n y = centers[:, 1]\n d_walls = np.minimum(np.minimum(x, 1-x), np.minimum(y, 1-y))\n \n # Since standard linprog bounds are (min, max), we pass them explicitly\n # Note: d_walls can be slightly negative if relaxation pushed outside (handled by clip later or max(0))\n bounds = [(0, max(1e-9, dw)) for dw in d_walls]\n \n # Objective: Minimize -sum(r)\n c = -np.ones(n_circles)\n \n # Solve\n # Method 'highs' is generally fastest/robust in scipy\n res = linprog(c, A_ub=A_ub, b_ub=dists, bounds=bounds, method='highs')\n \n if res.success:\n return res.x, -res.fun\n else:\n # Fallback (should not happen with valid bounds)\n return np.zeros(n_circles), 0.0\n\n def overlap_loss(flat_coords, target_r):\n \"\"\"\n Energy function to minimize: Sum of squared overlaps + Wall penalties.\n \"\"\"\n coords = flat_coords.reshape((n_circles, 2))\n \n # Wall Penalty\n # We want x in [r, 1-r], y in [r, 1-r]\n # If x < r: pen = (r-x)^2\n # If x > 1-r: pen = (x-(1-r))^2\n x = coords[:, 0]\n y = coords[:, 1]\n \n pen_l = np.maximum(0, target_r -

These recommendations aim to apply the \"Uniformity\" and \"Breathing\" insights more granularly to the iterative improvement phases.\n\n1. **Regularized \"Mini-Breathing\" in Move Evaluation**\n Modify the candidate evaluation loop in Phase 3 (where potential moves like swaps or relocations are tested) to use a two-stage relaxation. Instead of a single `minimize` call with `power=1.0`, split the budget (e.g., 50 iterations) into **25 iterations at `power=0.5`** followed by **25 iterations at `power=1.0`**. This allows the local topology to reorganize and distribute space uniformly around the new move before aggressively maximizing the radii sum, preventing premature rejection of promising topological changes.\n\n2. **Uniformity-Driven Perturbation Recovery**\n Update the \"Perturbation Trigger\" block (the Gaussian shake) to utilize the inverse-power regularization. When the system shakes the centers (`x_pert`), run the initial recovery minimization with `power=0.5` (or `power=0.8`) instead of `1.0`. This helps \"heal\" the randomized configuration by forcing `runt` circles to regrow and re-establish valid spacing before the solver switches back to the sum-maximization objective.\n\n3. **Geometric Radius Initialization for Voids**\n In `Strategy A: Move to Void`, replace the heuristic radius initialization (`r_prop[worst_idx] = np.mean(...)`) with the exact **geometric clearance**. Use the distance to the nearest wall or circle (calculated during void finding) as the starting radius. This reduces the initial penalty spike in the non-linear solver, allowing the optimizer to start from a valid or near-valid state rather than wasting iterations resolving massive artificial overlaps created by the mean-radius guess.\n\n4. **Constraint-Aware Neighbor Swapping**\n Refine `Strategy C` to prioritize swapping with **active constraint neighbors** rather than just spatial neighbors. Select swap targets based on the \"gap\" `(distance - (r1 + r2))`\u2014neighbors with near-zero gaps are mechanically locking the runt in place. Swapping with these specific circles directly modifies the constraints limiting the runt, whereas swapping with a nearby non-touching circle may not resolve the local jam.\n\n5. **Stepped Power Transition Schedule**\n Smooth the transition in Phase 2 between the \"Uniformity\" (`power=0.5`) and \"Maximization\" (`power=1.0`) phases. Insert an intermediate stage, such as **`power=0.75` with `weight=1e3`**, between the hard `0.5` and soft `1.0` steps. This gradual shift in the gradient landscape (from favoring small-circle growth to favoring total area) prevents the solver from snapping back to the original local minimum when the objective function changes abruptly." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "The previous attempt to get an edit was not successful because the LLM response was empty.

Unlike previous generations that optimized x, y, and r simultaneously in a non-linear solver, this algorithm iterates between three distinct phases:\n1. **Linear Programming (LP) Sizing**: For a fixed set of centers, the problem of maximizing the sum of radii subject to non-overlap constraints is solved exactly using `scipy.optimize.linprog`. This provides the mathematically optimal radii for the current topology.\n2. **Pressure-Driven Relaxation**: We define \"target radii\" slightly larger than the LP solution (simulating internal pressure) and use a gradient-based solver (`L-BFGS-B`) to adjust center positions to minimize overlap energy. This \"breathing\" creates space for growth.\n3. **Void-Hopping Topology Mutation**: To escape local optima and resolve \"runt\" circles (radii near zero), the algorithm identifies the circle with the poorest contribution and teleports it to the largest geometric void in the container, resetting the topology.\nThis method leverages the speed of LP for sizing and the robustness of \"Void Hunting\" to ensure efficient space utilization without getting stuck in jammed configurations.\n\n\n\n```{language}\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, squareform\nimport time\n\ndef solve():\n \"\"\"\n Maximizes the sum of radii for 26 circles in a unit square.\n Approach: Hybrid LP-Sizing + Spring Relaxation + Void Hopping.\n \"\"\"\n n_circles = 26\n \n # EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n # Hyperparameters\n time_limit = 28.0 # Seconds to run\n start_time = time.time()\n \n # Simulation params\n inflation_base = 1.05\n inflation_decay = 0.995\n min_inflation = 1.01\n \n # Initialize centers randomly in [0,1]\n # Use a stratified initialization or just random\n # Random is fine with void hopping\n X = np.random.rand(n_circles, 2)\n X = np.clip(X, 0.05, 0.95)\n \n # State tracking\n best_circles = None\n best_score = -1.0\n \n # Precompute indices for LP constraints to save time\n # Pairs (i, j) for i < j\n idx_pairs = []\n for i in range(n_circles):\n for j in range(i + 1, n_circles):\n idx_pairs.append((i, j))\n num_pairs = len(idx_pairs)\n \n # Constraint matrix structure for LP (A_ub) is fixed:\n # r_i + r_j <= d_ij\n # We construct A once, fill b (dists) dynamic\n A_ub = np.zeros((num_pairs, n_circles))\n for idx, (i, j) in enumerate(idx_pairs):\n A_ub[idx, i] = 1.0\n A_ub[idx, j] = 1.0\n \n def solve_radii_lp(centers):\n \"\"\"\n Solves the LP: Maximize sum(r) s.t. non-overlap and boundary constraints.\n Returns: optimal_radii, total_sum\n \"\"\"\n # Calculate pairwise distances\n dists = pdist(centers) # returns flattened distance array matching idx_pairs order\n \n # Bounds for radii: 0 <= r_i <= dist_to_wall\n # dist_to_wall = min(x, 1-x, y, 1-y)\n x = centers[:, 0]\n y = centers[:, 1]\n d_walls = np.minimum(np.minimum(x, 1-x), np.minimum(y, 1-y))\n \n # Since standard linprog bounds are (min, max), we pass them explicitly\n # Note: d_walls can be slightly negative if relaxation pushed outside (handled by clip later or max(0))\n bounds = [(0, max(1e-9, dw)) for dw in d_walls]\n \n # Objective: Minimize -sum(r)\n c = -np.ones(n_circles)\n \n # Solve\n # Method 'highs' is generally fastest/robust in scipy\n res = linprog(c, A_ub=A_ub, b_ub=dists, bounds=bounds, method='highs')\n \n if res.success:\n return res.x, -res.fun\n else:\n # Fallback (should not happen with valid bounds)\n return np.zeros(n_circles), 0.0\n\n def overlap_loss(flat_coords, target_r):\n \"\"\"\n Energy function to minimize: Sum of squared overlaps + Wall penalties.\n \"\"\"\n coords = flat_coords.reshape((n_circles, 2))\n \n # Wall Penalty\n # We want x in [r, 1-r], y in [r, 1-r]\n # If x < r: pen = (r-x)^2\n # If x > 1-r: pen = (x-(1-r))^2\n x = coords[:, 0]\n y = coords[:, 1]\n \n pen_l = np.maximum(0, target_r -

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_avg_wall_distance**: The average distance from circles' edges to the container walls.\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_x**: The standard deviation of the x-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the x-axis.\n- **aux_centroid_std_dev_y**: The standard deviation of the y-coordinates of all circle centers. Measures dispersion along the y-axis.\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_inter_circle_distance**: The minimum distance between the edges of any two circles. Negative values indicate overlap, positive indicate separation.\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_min_wall_distance**: The minimum distance from any circle's edge to any of the four container walls. Negative values indicate violation, positive indicate slack.\n- **aux_overlap_magnitude**: The sum of penetration depths (overlap) between all overlapping circle pairs.\n- **aux_packing_density**: Measures the total area of circles divided by the container area. Provides insight into overall packing efficiency.\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev**: Measures the standard deviation of radii, indicating uniformity. Lower is better for efficient packing.\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries.

It starts with `power=0.5` for the radius term (maximize sum of sqrt(r)). This creates a strong gradient for small circles to grow, preventing \"runts\" from stabilizing at near-zero size early in the process. It transitions to `power=1.0` (sum of radii) with increasing stiffness.\n3. **Plastic Flux Loop**: This is the core crossover logic.\n - It iteratively identifies the smallest circle (\"runt\").\n - It proposes \"Plastic\" moves: jumping the runt to a void found in the remaining N-1 structure, swapping with the largest circle, or swapping with constraining neighbors.\n - **Evaluation**: Moves are evaluated using a short \"micro-relaxation\" with `power=0.5`. This is crucial: it simulates a \"plastic\" deformation where the re-inserted circle actively pushes neighbors away to fit, rather than just testing if it fits in static geometry.\n - The best move is stabilized with `power=1.0` and high stiffness.\n4. **Final Polish**: Standard basin hopping with Linear Programming (LP) rectification to ensure geometric exactness.\n\nThis hybrid approach prevents local jamming by using the \"plastic\" failure mode (remove & re-insert) coupled with \"viscoelastic\" relaxation (growth-forcing potential) to navigate the energy landscape.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nPlastic Flux Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam search with Viscoelastic Plasticity heuristics.\n\"\"\"\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n Strategy:\n 1.

It starts with `power=0.5` for the radius term (maximize sum of sqrt(r)). This creates a strong gradient for small circles to grow, preventing \"runts\" from stabilizing at near-zero size early in the process. It transitions to `power=1.0` (sum of radii) with increasing stiffness.\n3. **Plastic Flux Loop**: This is the core crossover logic.\n - It iteratively identifies the smallest circle (\"runt\").\n - It proposes \"Plastic\" moves: jumping the runt to a void found in the remaining N-1 structure, swapping with the largest circle, or swapping with constraining neighbors.\n - **Evaluation**: Moves are evaluated using a short \"micro-relaxation\" with `power=0.5`. This is crucial: it simulates a \"plastic\" deformation where the re-inserted circle actively pushes neighbors away to fit, rather than just testing if it fits in static geometry.\n - The best move is stabilized with `power=1.0` and high stiffness.\n4. **Final Polish**: Standard basin hopping with Linear Programming (LP) rectification to ensure geometric exactness.\n\nThis hybrid approach prevents local jamming by using the \"plastic\" failure mode (remove & re-insert) coupled with \"viscoelastic\" relaxation (growth-forcing potential) to navigate the energy landscape.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nPlastic Flux Packer for N=26.\nCombines Breathing Beam search with Viscoelastic Plasticity heuristics.\n\"\"\"\nimport numpy as np\nfrom scipy.optimize import minimize, linprog\nfrom scipy.spatial import Voronoi\nfrom scipy.spatial.distance import pdist, cdist\n\ndef construct_packing():\n \"\"\"\n Constructs a packing of 26 circles in a unit square maximizing sum of radii.\n Strategy:\n 1.

These recommendations aim to apply the \"Uniformity\" and \"Breathing\" insights more granularly to the iterative improvement phases.\n\n1. **Regularized \"Mini-Breathing\" in Move Evaluation**\n Modify the candidate evaluation loop in Phase 3 (where potential moves like swaps or relocations are tested) to use a two-stage relaxation. Instead of a single `minimize` call with `power=1.0`, split the budget (e.g., 50 iterations) into **25 iterations at `power=0.5`** followed by **25 iterations at `power=1.0`**. This allows the local topology to reorganize and distribute space uniformly around the new move before aggressively maximizing the radii sum, preventing premature rejection of promising topological changes.\n\n2. **Uniformity-Driven Perturbation Recovery**\n Update the \"Perturbation Trigger\" block (the Gaussian shake) to utilize the inverse-power regularization. When the system shakes the centers (`x_pert`), run the initial recovery minimization with `power=0.5` (or `power=0.8`) instead of `1.0`. This helps \"heal\" the randomized configuration by forcing `runt` circles to regrow and re-establish valid spacing before the solver switches back to the sum-maximization objective.\n\n3. **Geometric Radius Initialization for Voids**\n In `Strategy A: Move to Void`, replace the heuristic radius initialization (`r_prop[worst_idx] = np.mean(...)`) with the exact **geometric clearance**. Use the distance to the nearest wall or circle (calculated during void finding) as the starting radius. This reduces the initial penalty spike in the non-linear solver, allowing the optimizer to start from a valid or near-valid state rather than wasting iterations resolving massive artificial overlaps created by the mean-radius guess.\n\n4. **Constraint-Aware Neighbor Swapping**\n Refine `Strategy C` to prioritize swapping with **active constraint neighbors** rather than just spatial neighbors. Select swap targets based on the \"gap\" `(distance - (r1 + r2))`\u2014neighbors with near-zero gaps are mechanically locking the runt in place. Swapping with these specific circles directly modifies the constraints limiting the runt, whereas swapping with a nearby non-touching circle may not resolve the local jam.\n\n5. **Stepped Power Transition Schedule**\n Smooth the transition in Phase 2 between the \"Uniformity\" (`power=0.5`) and \"Maximization\" (`power=1.0`) phases. Insert an intermediate stage, such as **`power=0.75` with `weight=1e3`**, between the hard `0.5` and soft `1.0` steps. This gradual shift in the gradient landscape (from favoring small-circle growth to favoring total area) prevents the solver from snapping back to the original local minimum when the objective function changes abruptly." + }, + { + "role": "user", + "content": "Here are the performance metrics of a set of prioviously implemented programs:\n\n# Prior programs\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nBreathing Beam Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.

(Structural Sensitivity / Topological Density)\n- **aux_boundary_contact_count**: The number of circles touching one or more boundaries of the unit square. (Constraint Tension / Leverage)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius**: The radius of the largest empty circle that can be placed in the packing. (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_largest_void_radius_normalized**: The radius of the largest empty circle, normalized by half the box side (maximum possible radius). (Structural Sensitivity)\n- **aux_local_free_space_std_dev**: The standard deviation of the minimum clearance each circle has to other circles or to boundaries. (Structural Sensitivity / Component Contribution)\n- **aux_mean_overlap_proximity**: The average value of `(r1 + r2 - distance)` for all circle pairs. Positive values indicate overlap, zero indicates touching, and negative values indicate separation. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_min_radius**: The radius of the smallest circle in the packing. (Component Contribution / Bottleneck)\n- **aux_radii_skewness**: Measures the asymmetry (skewness) of the circle radii distribution. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_radii_std_dev_normalized**: The standard deviation of radii, normalized by the mean radius. Indicates the diversity of circle sizes. (Component Contribution)\n- **aux_total_boundary_violation**: The sum of distances by which circles extend beyond the unit square boundaries. (Constraint Tension)\n- **aux_total_overlap_depth**: The sum of penetration depths between all overlapping circle pairs.

This freezes the topology into a dense, locally optimal packing.\n3. **Plastic Surgery (Void Injection & Jailbreak):** The algorithm explicitly identifies \"runts\" (smallest circles) and performs two types of topological moves:\n * **Void Injection:** Teleports the runt to the largest geometric void in the packing, initializing its radius with the exact calculated clearance to 'warm-start' the optimizer.\n * **Jailbreak:** Swaps the runt specifically with the neighbor that constrains it the most (the \"jailor\"), attempting to shatter local jamming configurations.\nEach topological move is evaluated using a mini Hydro-Thermal cycle (Heat -> Cool) to allow the lattice to relax around the change before scoring.\n\n\n\n```python\n# EVOLVE-BLOCK-START\n\"\"\"\nHydro-Thermal Packer for N=26.\nFeatures:\n1.
