ML Cross-Validation Methodology Report

Overview

This report documents the cross-domain machine learning validation between quantum chaos metrics and biological sequence features using the Z Framework.

Datasets

Quantum Chaos Features

  • Source: DiscreteZetaShift 5D embeddings and Riemann zeta zero analysis
  • Features: D, E, F, I, O (from DiscreteZetaShift), amplitude, curvature, theta transformations
  • Target: Quantum chaos classification based on O value threshold
  • Samples: ~100 integer sequences (n = 2 to 101)

Biological Features

  • Source: Real CRISPR target sequences and synthetic DNA sequences
  • Features: Length, GC content, dimer/trimer complexity, base frequencies, quantum bridge
  • Target: CRISPR efficiency classification based on GC content and complexity
  • Samples: ~100 DNA sequences (50-150 bp)

Machine Learning Models

Within-Domain Validation

  • Algorithm: Random Forest Classifier (100 estimators)
  • Preprocessing: StandardScaler normalization
  • Validation: 5-fold cross-validation with 70/30 train-test split
  • Metrics: Accuracy, cross-validation mean ± std

Cross-Domain Validation

  • Approach: Train on one domain, test on another
  • Feature Alignment: Use minimum common feature count
  • Directions: Quantum→Biological and Biological→Quantum
  • Hypothesis: Z Framework enables cross-domain pattern recognition

Key Results

  1. Within-Domain Performance: Demonstrates ML models can classify quantum chaos and biological efficiency
  2. Cross-Domain Transfer: Tests whether quantum mathematical patterns predict biological behavior
  3. Feature Importance: Identifies which Z Framework components are most predictive
  4. Statistical Significance: Cross-validation provides confidence intervals

Z Framework Integration

  • Universal Invariance: c normalization ensures frame-independent analysis
  • Curvature Transformations: κ(n) = d(n)·ln(n+1)/e² bridges domains
  • Golden Ratio Modular: θ'(n,k) = φ·((n mod φ)/φ)^k reveals hidden patterns
  • 5D Embeddings: (x,y,z,w,u) coordinates provide geometric feature space

Validation Criteria

  • Success Threshold: >60% accuracy for within-domain classification
  • Cross-Domain Significance: >50% accuracy (better than random)
  • Reproducibility: Results stable across multiple runs
  • Statistical Rigor: Cross-validation confidence intervals reported

Limitations

  • Sample Size: Limited to ~100 samples per domain for computational efficiency
  • Feature Engineering: Simplified spectral analysis for biological sequences
  • Domain Gap: Quantum and biological systems have different scales and physics
  • Validation Scope: Proof-of-concept rather than comprehensive validation

Future Work

  • Larger Datasets: Scale to 1000+ samples per domain
  • Advanced Features: Include full wave-CRISPR spectral analysis
  • Deep Learning: Neural networks for complex pattern detection
  • Physical Validation: Test predictions against experimental CRISPR data
