# Substrate Video Atomization Runtime v0.1.1

Upload a short video and run a source-bound atomization route. v0.1.1 adds browser-safe preview rehydration, social-card metadata, and Data Hologram Structure v0.2.

This Space demonstrates Video Atomization, Trace-Stack Rehydration, and source-bound Data Hologram formation as a Substrate Mesh runtime surface. The uploaded video is not treated as a monolithic compressed payload. Instead, the runtime hashes the source, samples frame atoms, detects scene intervals, records motion deltas, applies trace capsules, stacks the traces, carries provenance as part of the data, and returns a rehydrated review surface with an HIR × OAM receipt.

The demo shows how video can become a pressure-readable temporal mesh:

```text
source video
→ source capsule
→ frame atoms
→ motion atoms
→ scene atoms
→ trace capsules
→ source-bound data hologram v0.2
→ rehydrated review surface
→ HIR × OAM receipt
→ human validation capsule
```

Operating law:

```text
media pressure → atom gate → frame/scene/motion capsule → transfer route → rehydration surface → receipt → human validation / memory readiness
```

## Boundary

This is not video compression, not a replacement for codecs, and not a physical hologram generator. This v0.1.1 Space demonstrates atomized transfer, source-return rehydration, provenance-aware receipts, and a source-bound data-hologram review layer. Physical hologram translation would require a later optical modulation layer.

Core boundary:

```text
SOURCE_VIDEO_REMAINS_AUTHORITY
PROVENANCE_IS_PART_OF_THE_DATA
REHYDRATION_SURFACE_ONLY
HUMAN_VALIDATION_REQUIRED
```

## What the demo proves

- The source video is hashed and held as the canonical anchor.
- The video is atomized into source-bound frame and scene atoms.
- Each sampled atom receives a trace capsule.
- Trace capsules are stacked into a Data Hologram v0.2 manifest.
- Provenance is carried as part of the data, not as a detachable afterthought.
- The rehydrated output remains a review surface, not a source replacement.
- Human validation remains required before settlement.

## Core claim

Video does not have to be handled only as a compressed monolithic file. It can be atomized into source-bound trace units, stacked into a data hologram, pressure-read, and rehydrated into a reviewable route surface.
## Runtime compatibility patch

This Space pins the Python runtime to 3.11 because Python 3.13 removed the stdlib `audioop` module used indirectly by Gradio's audio/video processing path through `pydub`. The requirements also include `audioop-lts` as a fallback compatibility shim.

## Runtime compatibility patch 2

This packet pins `huggingface_hub==0.25.2` because Gradio 4.44.x can import `HfFolder` during startup. Newer `huggingface_hub` releases can remove that export path, causing `ImportError: cannot import name 'HfFolder' from 'huggingface_hub'`.

## Runtime compatibility patch 3

This packet removes `type="filepath"` from the `gr.Video(...)` upload component because Gradio 4.44.x rejects that keyword on `Video.__init__`. The callback still receives the uploaded video path, so the source-bound atomization route is unchanged.


## Social card / X preview

This packet includes `assets/social_card.png` and declares it in the Space README front matter as:

```yaml
thumbnail: assets/social_card.png
```

The image is a 1200 × 630 social-card render for link preview surfaces. It is display metadata only; it does not alter runtime atomization, trace stack, receipt, preview, or packet logic.


## Data Hologram Structure v0.2

This packet adds `manifests/source_bound_data_hologram_v0_2.json` to every run packet.

The structure includes:

- Runtime Trail loop law
- Resonant Ingress trace law
- source-return boundary
- provenance survival state
- anti-laundering rules
- memory-readiness boundary
- human-validation questions

Review question set:

```text
What arrived?
What held?
What degraded?
What provenance survived?
What needs repair?
What still requires human validation?
```
