| Function | Signature | Description |
|---|---|---|
| getPosition | () -> x, y, z | GPS or dead reckoning position |
| manhattanDistance | (x1,y1,z1, x2,y2,z2) -> number | Manhattan distance metric |
| isTraversable | (x, y, z) -> boolean | Block traversability check |
| isObstacle | (x, y, z, obstacles) -> boolean | Known obstacle set check |
| faceDirection | (current, target) -> new facing | Turtle orientation control |
| move | (facing, direction) -> boolean | Single step execution |
| findPath | (start, goal, obstacles, facing) -> commands | Main pathfinding: OVER strategy |
| executePath | (commands) -> boolean | Sequential command execution |
- OVER strategy (y=6): Detects obstacles between start and goal, ascends above highest obstacle block, crosses at safe height, descends to goal.
- Uses Manhattan distance as contraction metric. Each step reduces distance to goal.
- Safety limit: 500 steps max path length.
- Configurable detour height (default: 6).
- Gate 3 — Graph Laplacian: The Fiedler vector identifies bottlenecks. The OVER strategy crosses above the obstacle wall. Verified by 10-AI consensus alongside 5 other valid strategies (UNDER, AROUND, LATERAL, Z-AXIS DEFERRAL, PRECISE Y-DETOUR).
- Contraction Invariant: each move reduces Manhattan distance to goal.
- 4 compass directions (north, south, east, west) with left/right rotation mapping
- 180-degree turn support
- Command generation for turtle.turnLeft(), turtle.turnRight()
- Phase 5: verify.lua — Merkle-anchored state verification via Yeshua bridge
