build_tools.syllable_walk.profiles

Walk profile definitions for syllable walker.

This module defines WalkProfile dataclass and predefined profiles that encode different walking behaviors (conservative, balanced, chaotic, etc.).

Profiles provide convenient presets for common use cases: - Clerical: Conservative, favors common syllables - Dialect: Balanced exploration, neutral frequency - Goblin: Chaotic, favors rare syllables - Ritual: Maximum exploration, strongly favors rare

Example

>>> from build_tools.syllable_walk.profiles import WALK_PROFILES
>>> profile = WALK_PROFILES["goblin"]
>>> profile.temperature
1.5

Attributes

WALK_PROFILES

Classes

WalkProfile

Configuration profile for a syllable walk.

Functions

`get_profile`(name)	Get a walk profile by name.
`list_profiles`()	Get all available walk profiles.

Module Contents

class build_tools.syllable_walk.profiles.WalkProfile[source]

Configuration profile for a syllable walk.

A profile encapsulates all parameters needed for a walk, providing named presets for different behaviors.

name: Human-readable profile name (e.g., “Dialect Walk”)

description: Brief description of profile behavior

max_flips: Maximum feature flips allowed per step (1-3)

temperature: Exploration temperature (0.1-5.0)

frequency_weight: Frequency bias (-2.0 to 2.0)

Example

>>> profile = WalkProfile(
...     name="Custom Walk",
...     description="High temperature, neutral frequency",
...     max_flips=2,
...     temperature=2.0,
...     frequency_weight=0.0
... )
>>> print(profile)
Custom Walk: High temperature, neutral frequency

name: str

description: str

max_flips: int

temperature: float

frequency_weight: float

build_tools.syllable_walk.profiles.WALK_PROFILES: Dict[str, WalkProfile]

build_tools.syllable_walk.profiles.get_profile(name)[source]

Get a walk profile by name.

Parameters:: name (str) – Profile name (case-insensitive)
Returns:: WalkProfile object
Raises:: ValueError – If profile name not found
Return type:: WalkProfile

Example

>>> profile = get_profile("goblin")
>>> profile.temperature
1.5
>>> profile = get_profile("GOBLIN")  # Case-insensitive
>>> profile.temperature
1.5

build_tools.syllable_walk.profiles.list_profiles()[source]

Get all available walk profiles.

Returns:: Dictionary mapping profile names to WalkProfile objects (copy)
Return type:: Dict[str, WalkProfile]

Example

>>> profiles = list_profiles()
>>> for name, profile in profiles.items():
...     print(f"{name}: {profile.description}")
clerical: Conservative, favors common syllables, minimal phonetic change
dialect: Moderate exploration, neutral frequency bias
goblin: Chaotic, favors rare syllables, high phonetic variation
ritual: Maximum exploration, strongly favors rare syllables
