using SingleCellProjections, Muon

# Load AnnData
adata = readh5ad("pbmc3k.h5ad")

# Process (10x faster than scanpy)

# Differentiable!
grad = expect'(Z ⊗ Z, zero_state(2) => circuit)

Molecular GNN (deepchem → Chemellia)

using AtomicGraphNets, ChemistryFeaturization

# Featurize molecules
mol = smilestomol("CCO")  # ethanol
fg = featurize(mol, GraphNodeFeaturization())

# Train GNN
model = CGCGNModel(fg, target_prop=:logP)
train!(model, molecules, targets)

Bayesian Inference (pymc → Turing.jl)

using Turing

@model function linear_regression(x, y)
    α ~ Normal(0, 10)
    β ~ Normal(0, 10)
    σ ~ truncated(Normal(0, 1), 0, Inf)
    for i in eachindex(y)
        y[i] ~ Normal(α + β * x[i], σ)
    end
end

chain = sample(linear_regression(x, y), NUTS(), 1000)

The Homoiconic Bridge: Scheme ↔ SMILES ↔ ACSet

Deep structural insight: S-expressions (Scheme), SMILES strings (chemistry), and ACSets share a common foundation — trees/graphs with recursive self-reference.

Scheme S-expr:   (+ (* 2 3) (- 4 1))     → AST tree
SMILES:          CC(=O)Oc1ccccc1C(=O)O   → Molecular graph
ACSet:           Graph{V,E,src,tgt}       → Typed graph functor

All three: linearized representations of graph structure

What Comes After SMILES: Learnable Chemical Structure

The evolution of molecular representation — 7 parallel streams colored via Gay.jl (seed=137):

Gen	Color	Representation	Julia Package	Properties
1	#43D9E1	SMILES string	MolecularGraph.jl	Canonical, not learnable
2	#18CDEF	SELFIES	PyCall+selfies	Robust, generative-friendly
3	#18D6D0	Fingerprints	MolecularGraph.jl	Fixed-dim vectors
4	#C70D22	Graph features	ChemistryFeaturization.jl	Handcrafted node/edge
5	#E44ABB	GNN (MPNN/GAT/SchNet)	GraphNeuralNetworks.jl	Fully learnable
6	#58A021	3D coordinates	Chemfiles.jl, DFTK.jl	Geometry-aware
7	#BDB223	Foundation models	Coming	Pre-trained, transferable

Parallel Evolution Insight: Each generation evolves along its own deterministic color stream. Workers 1-3 explore the space in parallel (Strong Parallelism Invariance: same seeds = same colors).

Stream 1 (SMILES):      #43D9E1 → #B78225 → #D54E82  (canonical → extended → stereochem)
Stream 2 (SELFIES):     #18CDEF → #6CBA3C → #EC9426  (robust → constrained → grammar)
Stream 5 (GNN):         #E44ABB → #50CD2E → #942B89  (MPNN → GAT → SchNet/DimeNet)
Stream 7 (Foundation):  #BDB223 → #88ECA7 → #5CDA99  (pretrain → finetune → adapt)

# The homoiconic bridge in code
using LispSyntax, MolecularGraph, Catlab, AtomicGraphNets

# Scheme code → AST → ACSet
sexp = @lisp (defun f (x) (+ x 1))
ast_acset = ast_to_acset(sexp)

# SMILES → Molecular graph → ACSet → GNN embedding
mol = smilestomol("c1ccccc1")  # benzene
mol_acset = mol_to_acset(mol)
embedding = gnn_embed(mol_acset)  # 64-dim learned vector

# Both navigate identically via Specter patterns!
branches_in_ast = select([ALL, pred(is_call_node)], ast_acset)
rings_in_mol = select([ALL, pred(is_ring_atom)], mol_acset)

# The deep insight: code and molecules are both graphs
# → same tools (ACSets, GNNs) work for both

Coloring Parallel Evolution with Gay.jl

using Gay

# 7 generations evolving in parallel streams (seed=137)
struct MolRepGeneration
    name::String
    color::String
    learnable::Bool
    evolution::Vector{String}  # Color stream for sub-generations
end

function color_mol_evolution(seed=137)
    streams = Gay.interleave(seed, n_streams=7, count=3)

    generations = [
        MolRepGeneration("SMILES", streams[1][1], false, streams[1]),
        MolRepGeneration("SELFIES", streams[2][1], false, streams[2]),
        MolRepGeneration("Fingerprints", streams[3][1], false, streams[3]),
        MolRepGeneration("GraphFeatures", streams[4][1], false, streams[4]),
        MolRepGeneration("GNN", streams[5][1], true, streams[5]),      # Learnable!
        MolRepGeneration("3DCoords", streams[6][1], true, streams[6]),
        MolRepGeneration("Foundation", streams[7][1], true, streams[7])
    ]

    # GF(3) balance: non-learnable (-1) + transition (0) + learnable (+1) = 0
    return generations
end

# Visualize evolution paths
for gen in color_mol_evolution()
    trit = gen.learnable ? "+1" : "-1"
    println("$(gen.name) [$(trit)]: $(join(gen.evolution, " → "))")
end
