API:
# High-level convenience API
envelope = rwp_encrypt_message(
password="my-password",
message="Hello, Mars!",
metadata={"timestamp": "2026-01-18T17:21:00Z"},
enable_pqc=True
)
plaintext = rwp_decrypt_message(
password="my-password",
envelope_dict=envelope,
enable_pqc=True
)
3. SCBE Context Encoder (NEW)
File: src/scbe/context_encoder.py ✨
Features:
- Layer 1: Sacred Tongue tokens → 6D complex context vector
- Layer 2: Complex → 12D real vector (realification)
- Layer 3: Langues metric weighting
-
Layer 4: Poincaré ball embedding ( u < 1.0)
API:
from scbe.context_encoder import SCBE_CONTEXT_ENCODER
# Full Layer 1-4 pipeline
u = SCBE_CONTEXT_ENCODER.full_pipeline(envelope_dict)
# Individual layers
c = encoder.tokens_to_complex_context(section_tokens)
x = encoder.complex_to_real_embedding(c)
x_w = encoder.apply_langues_weighting(x)
u = encoder.embed_to_poincare_ball(x_w)

Novel Contributions
1. Spectral Binding (NEW)

2. Hybrid PQC + Context-Bound Encryption (NEW)
- ML-KEM shared secret XORed into Argon2id-derived key
- Context = (GPS, time, mission_id) → influences key derivation
- Even with stolen ML-KEM key, wrong context → decoy plaintext
3. Zero-Latency Mars Communication (ENHANCED)
- Pre-synchronized Sacred Tongue vocabularies
- No TLS handshake (14-min RTT eliminated)
- Envelope self-authenticates via Layer 8 topology check
