title: Operationally Calibrated Digital Twin for Generative-Statistical Simulation and Counterfactual Analysis of SIR

description: This repository contains an operationally calibrated digital twin generated through a structured generative-statistical pipeline integrating information geometry, statistical physics principles, and computational modeling. The digital twin is designed to replicate the structural, temporal, and probabilistic dynamics of complex interaction networks under identifiable and auditable conditions.

The system separates three formally distinct layers:





Observation Model (Sensor Layer) – Defines the measurable statistical observables and sufficient statistics extracted from empirical data.




Generative Digital Twin Layer – Implements a probabilistic generative mechanism constrained by calibrated priors and boundary conditions.




Autonomic Control Layer – Enables scenario testing, perturbation injection, and controlled counterfactual evaluation without violating identifiability constraints.



This separation prevents methodological circularity and guarantees traceability between theoretical assumptions, computational artifacts, and empirical validation metrics.



Scientific Utility

The digital twin enables:





Structural fidelity testing between real and synthetic interaction graphs.




Counterfactual experimentation under controlled boundary forcing.




Transition dynamics analysis using calibrated stochastic kernels.
