A bounded two-lane view of Faraday’s Law so the same induced EMF |eps| can be tagged calm, borderline, or stressed.
Domain. Electromagnetics / Generators / Lab Coil
Classical law.
In its simplest form for a coil with N turns and changing magnetic flux Phi:
eps = -N * dPhi_dt
For this POC we focus on the magnitude of induced EMF (ignore the sign):
|eps| = N * |dPhi_dt|
with a finite-difference estimate:
dPhi_dt ≈ (Phi2 - Phi1) / dt
What this shows
In this law POC, we take Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction and show how:
- The Classical calculation gives the scalar EMF
|eps|induced in a coil, and - The Shunyaya Symbolic Mathematics (SSM) version keeps that EMF magnitude intact but adds a bounded alignment lane
a in (-1,+1), indicating whether this particulareps = -N * dPhi_dtsituation is calm, borderline, or stressed.
When:
- The coil speed is steady,
- Flux measurements are clean, and
- Timing is sharp,
Shunyaya Symbolic Mathematics (SSM) collapses to the Classical result and you effectively get the same answer.
But in real labs and machines, dPhi_dt is notoriously noisy:
- Jerky coil motion or shaft non-uniformity,
- Flux probe jitter,
- Coarse timing marks.
The alignment lane a and its band reveal posture that the classical scalar EMF alone cannot show.
POC display policy (simple).
For this POC, we use:
a_semantics = "drift-positive"
so larger printed a means more drift / more risk. This is a display choice only; you can flip semantics without changing the math or phi((m,a)) = m.
1) Setup (inputs)
Imagine a lab induction coil near a changing magnetic field:
- A coil with known turns sits near a rotating magnet.
- You sample the magnetic flux through the coil twice, a short time apart.
- You estimate the induced EMF using a finite difference.
We model:
- Number of turns (reasonably well known):
N_m = 200,N_a = +0.02— coil turns counted and archived; small uncertainty.
- Flux samples (two instants):
Phi1_m = 0.012Wb,Phi1_a = +0.60— first reading, coil still speeding up / probe noisyPhi2_m = 0.004Wb,Phi2_a = +0.25— second reading, a bit steadier
- Sampling time interval:
dt_m = 0.040s,dt_a = +0.10— timing from scope or controller, modest jitter
In SSM:
- Each physical quantity is two-lane:
(m, a)witha in (-1,+1). - Collapse parity is
phi((m,a)) = m— drop the alignment lane, keep the magnitude.
Our target:
- Compute classical EMF from the two flux samples, then
- Wrap it as
(m_eps, a_eps)with a meaningful bounded alignment lane.
2) Classical calculation
Ignoring alignment, use a simple two-point estimate of dPhi_dt:
# classical illustration (no external packages required)
N = 200 # turns
Phi1 = 0.012 # Wb
Phi2 = 0.004 # Wb
dt = 0.040 # s
dPhi_dt = (Phi2 - Phi1) / dt
eps_mag = N * abs(dPhi_dt)
print(dPhi_dt) # -0.200 Wb/s
print(eps_mag) # 40.0 V
Classical result.
dPhi_dt ≈ -0.200Wb/s|eps| ≈ 40.0V
A typical lab note might simply say:
“Induced EMF ≈ 40 V at this speed.”
There is no explicit distinction between:
- 40 V from a clean, smooth spin, and
- 40 V from a jerky, poorly timed, noisy flux measurement.
3) SSM calculation (same EMF magnitude + bounded alignment lane)
In Shunyaya Symbolic Mathematics (SSM), we:
- Treat each flux sample as
(m,a)and build a flux-change alignment forDeltaPhi = Phi2 - Phi1. Conceptually:DeltaPhi = Phi2 - Phi1
a_DeltaPhi := tanh(atanh(a_Phi1_c) + atanh(a_Phi2_c)) - Treat the time interval as
(dt_m, dt_a)and build an alignment fordPhi_dt = DeltaPhi / dtusing a division rule:a_dPhi_dt := tanh(atanh(a_DeltaPhi_c) - atanh(a_dt_c)) - Combine the turns lane and derivative lane to get the EMF lane:
a_eps := tanh(atanh(a_N_c) + atanh(a_dPhi_dt_c)) - Keep the EMF magnitude as the classical value
eps_mag_m:eps_mag_m = N_m * abs((Phi2_m - Phi1_m) / dt_m) phi((eps_mag_m, a_eps)) = eps_mag_m
So:
- The induced EMF magnitude remains ≈
40V. - The bounded alignment lane
a_epstells you whether that 40 V comes from steady, well-resolved induction or noisy, jerky induction.

print("SSM (induced EMF lane):")
print(" |eps| =", f"m={eps_mag_m:.2f}, a={a_eps:+.4f}")
Later, your shared runner can assign bands, e.g.:
|a| < 0.20→ A+ (calm induction snapshot)0.20 <= |a| < 0.50→ A0 (borderline)|a| >= 0.50→ A- (stressed / noisy induction)
5) What to expect
Numerically:
- Classical:
dPhi_dt ≈ -0.200Wb/s|eps| ≈ 40.0V
- SSM (induced EMF lane):
m = 40.0V (same as classical)a_epswill be fairly large positive (due to a very noisy first flux sample and a shakydt).
Under the sample band policy, you will typically see:
a_epsin A− (stressed) — indicating that although the EMF value is numerically reasonable, it comes from a noisydPhi_dtestimate.
If you improved the setup:
- Smoother mechanical motion,
- More stable flux probe (smaller
Phi1_a,Phi2_a), - Better timing (smaller
dt_a),
then:
a_dPhianda_dPhi_dtwould shrink toward 0,a_epswould move toward 0,
and the same ~40 V would now appear as a calmer, more trustworthy EMF measurement.
6) Why this helps in the real world
- Generator designers can distinguish between EMF outputs that come from smooth, well-controlled operation and those that come from jerky, noisy operating points, even when the RMS voltages look similar.
- Lab experiments on induction can show students that
dPhi/dtmeasurements are often the weakest link, and SSM makes that visible viaa. - Condition monitoring could use
a_epsas a simple lane for operational posture, highlighting when induced voltages look fine but are rooted in unstable flux dynamics.
