Abstract
Physical modeling and inverse design require computation that can continue from reusable state. We introduce SHRAV, an architecture-independent computational framework organized around State, Hypothesis, Reason, Action, and Verify. Its central mechanism is a state-continuation core with declared reuse boundaries and explicit roles for learned evolution and numerical quantities. Forward configurations evolve predictive state and read out physical responses; inverse-design configurations additionally generate target-directed modifications and consume evaluator feedback. Electromagnetic world-model studies are mapped to forward configurations, with selected readout and reuse diagnostics reported here. Computational lithography demonstrates an inverse-design configuration: four fixed-weight design updates improve thresholded aerial-image intersection-over-union from 0.5313 to 0.8153 under independent scalar-pupil replay, with a maximum absolute IoU difference of approximately 0.000824 between predictor estimates and independent replay.
