📁 `tests/` — README (purpose of the test suite)

resonance‑substrate‑model / tests#

This directory contains the test suite for the Resonance Substrate Model. It ensures that the substrate’s behavior is correct, stable, and consistent across updates.

What lives here#

Unit tests
Validate individual operators, resonance kernels, update rules, and numerical routines.
Integration tests
Confirm that multi‑step substrate evolution behaves as expected under different configurations.
Regression tests
Lock in known‑good behaviors to prevent accidental drift as the model grows.
Example scenarios
Small, self‑contained simulations that demonstrate correct end‑to‑end behavior.

Purpose#

This folder provides confidence and continuity. It ensures that:

changes don’t break core behavior
numerical stability remains intact
resonance‑time dynamics stay consistent
the model remains reproducible for future contributors

If the model is the engine, this folder is the instrumentation panel that keeps it honest.
