CubeDynamics: An Inspectable Grammar for Environmental Data Analysis
The current package-wide manuscript explains the motivation, design, evidence, and limits of CubeDynamics as an inspectable grammar for environmental data analysis. It describes source-qualified nouns, named transformations, authored order, semantic state and trace, ordinary scientific Python objects, validation, extension boundaries, and the distinction between computational repeatability and scientific inspectability.

Scope and version boundary
The manuscript discusses the public 0.1.0rc3 candidate and explicitly
separated repository evidence available on 25 September 2026. The public
artifact, the later repository state, and any future final release are distinct
software states. The manuscript does not make the mutable development checkout
part of the published release retroactively.
The PDFs are dated scholarly products, not live API specifications. The
installed runtime, tests, generated callable references, public API contract,
and exact Git identity remain the sources of truth for current software behavior.
Use cubedynamics.version_info() to
identify the code actually imported by an analysis.
Reading paths
- Scientific inspectability presents the central argument as website documentation.
- Learn turns the grammar into a guided sequence.
- Public API and stability records current callable and maturity boundaries.
- Methods and citation gives concise reporting and citation guidance.
- Vignettes provide supported executable examples on reviewed observational data.
