MOMA is a Rust framework for exploring number theory, cryptography, and bioinformatics through the lens of Moving Origin Modular Arithmetic.

The crate is designed for researchers and developers who are interested in a novel, relational framework for analyzing complex sequences.

The inspiration for this crate comes from the concept of a barycenter in astrophysics. Just as the Earth and Moon orbit a common center of mass that is not the exact center of the Earth, MOMA treats modular arithmetic as a system where the "zero point" or "origin" is not fixed.

This origin shifts dynamically based on a contextual value—typically a prime number p—and the chosen OriginStrategy. This provides a novel relational framework for analyzing complex systems.

The original inspiration came from this NASA article: What Is a Barycenter?

The MOMA framework is built on a few simple but powerful concepts:

• MomaRing: The primary object for all calculations. A ring is defined by a modulus and a chosen OriginStrategy.
• OriginStrategy: A trait that defines how the origin moves, making the framework highly extensible.
• Analysis Tools: A suite of modular tools for deeper analysis:
  • Number Theory: MassField, OriginDrift, CompositeInfluence, CompositeDampener, GoldbachProjector, Entropy, and ResonanceFinder.
  • Bioinformatics: BioSigAnalyzer, CodonTable, and Mutation for mapping numeric signatures to biological events.

• Flexible Core: A powerful and extensible system based on the MomaRing and OriginStrategy trait.
• Advanced Analysis Tools: A suite of high-level structs for statistical, number-theoretic, and bioinformatics analysis.
• Cryptographic Primitives: Demonstrates how MOMA can be used to build components like a Key Derivation Function.
• Prime Number Utilities: A helper primes module for primality testing and prime generation.
• Pure Rust: Built with safe, idiomatic Rust.

Add MOMA to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies] moma = "0.3.6" # Replace with the latest version

or rather just run cargo add moma from the terminal

MOMA is a toolkit for exploration across different domains.

Use the ResonanceFinder to find primes where the MOMA signature is a multiple of another property of the prime, such as its number of prime factors (prime_factor_mass).

use moma::resonance::ResonanceFinder; use moma::strategy; use moma::primes; // Find primes where the signature (using CompositeMass strategy) // is divisible by the prime's factor mass. let finder = ResonanceFinder::new( 100, strategy::CompositeMass, primes::prime_factor_mass, ); // Search for resonance events in the range 1 to 500. let resonances = finder.find_in_range(1, 500); println!("Found {} resonance events.", resonances.len()); for (prime, signature) in resonances { println!(" - Resonance at p={} with signature {}", prime, signature); }

Use the BioSigAnalyzer to map MOMA signatures to simulated genetic mutations.

use moma::biosig::BioSigAnalyzer; use moma::strategy; let analyzer = BioSigAnalyzer::new(60, strategy::CompositeMass); let dna_sequence = "AGCTGCGATCGTACGATCGATCGTAGCTAGCTAGCTAGCTAGCTAGCTAGCTAGCTAGCTAGCT"; // Analyze the mutational effect of the signature derived from prime 13. if let Some((signature, mutation)) = analyzer.analyze(13, dna_sequence) { println!("Signature for p=13 is {}", signature); println!("Resulting mutation type: {:?}", mutation.mutation_type); }
