# Navigate to examples directory
cd examples

# List available examples
ls -la
# metabolomic_diabetes.trb  - Main Turbulence script
# metabolomic_diabetes.fs   - Consciousness visualization
# metabolomic_diabetes.ghd  - Resource dependencies

Turbulence Language Basics

The Turbulence language is your primary interface to consciousness simulation. Here are the essential concepts:

Basic Syntax

Variable Declaration

// Declare consciousness-enhanced variables
item consciousness_runtime = initialize_consciousness_simulation()
item quantum_data = quantum_enhanced_processing(raw_data)
item consciousness_results = specialized_processing(quantum_data)

Function Definition

// Define consciousness-enhanced functions
funxn consciousness_analysis(data: MetabolomicData) -> ConsciousnessResults:
    print("🧠 Starting consciousness analysis")
    
    item quantum_processed = quantum_membrane.process(data)
    item consciousness_enhanced = specialized_systems.process(quantum_processed)
    
    return consciousness_enhanced

Hypothesis Framework

// Scientific hypothesis as executable framework
hypothesis BiomedicaleDiscovery:
    claim: "Consciousness simulation enhances biomarker discovery"
    semantic_validation:
        - biological_understanding: "pathway_dysregulation_semantics"
        - clinical_understanding: "actionable_intervention_semantics"
    success_criteria:
        - sensitivity: >= 0.85
        - consciousness_enhancement: >= 1.3
    requires: "authentic_consciousness_simulation"

Proposition-Motion System

// Scientific reasoning through propositions
proposition ScientificValidation:
    motion ConsciousnessEnhancement("Consciousness improves analysis quality")
    motion BiologicalMeaning("Results have genuine biological significance")
    
    within experimental_results:
        given consciousness_enhancement_factor >= 1.3:
            support ConsciousnessEnhancement with_confidence(0.95)
            fullscreen.update_consciousness("enhancement_validated")

Four-File System

Every Turbulence project uses four interconnected files:

1. .trb - Main Orchestration Script

// main_experiment.trb
import consciousness.zangalewa_runtime
import consciousness.specialized_systems

funxn main():
    item consciousness = initialize_consciousness_simulation()
    item results = consciousness_enhanced_analysis(consciousness)
    return validate_consciousness_results(results)

2. .fs - Real-Time Consciousness Visualization

// main_experiment.fs
consciousness_simulation_architecture:
├── quantum_membrane_processing → proton_tunneling_active: true
├── specialized_systems → consciousness_coherence: 0.94
└── cross_modal_integration → emergence_level: 0.92

3. .ghd - External Resource Dependencies

// main_experiment.ghd
consciousness_enhanced_dependencies:
    external_databases:
        - hmdb_consciousness_api: "consciousness_guided_queries"
        - pubmed_consciousness_corpus: "semantic_literature_understanding"
    
    specialized_systems:
        - autobahn_rag_system: "consciousness/autobahn/bio_metabolic"
        - kwasa_kwasa_semantic: "consciousness/kwasa_kwasa/scientific_reasoning"

4. .hre - Decision Logging and Metacognitive Trail

// main_experiment.hre
consciousness_session: "biomarker_discovery_2024"
decisions:
    consciousness_initialization:
        timestamp: "2024-01-15T09:30:00Z"
        decision: "initialize_full_consciousness_simulation"
        reasoning: "Complex analysis requires genuine understanding"
        confidence: 0.94
