# Place-Value Native Architecture Refactor Plan
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 🎯 Objective
|
||||||
|
Replace the current array-based column indexing system with native place-value architecture to eliminate the "column index nightmare" where we need to thread `effectiveColumns` through highlighting logic.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## 🚨 Current Problem
|
||||||
|
```typescript
|
||||||
|
// BROKEN: Array indices fighting place values
|
||||||
|
columnStates[0] = leftmost column (ten-thousands)
|
||||||
|
columnStates[4] = rightmost column (ones)
|
||||||
|
// Every operation requires: columnIndex = totalColumns - 1 - placeValue
|
||||||
|
// Must thread totalColumns to highlighting: isBeadHighlighted(..., totalColumns)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## ✅ Target Solution
|
||||||
|
```typescript
|
||||||
|
// CLEAN: Place values as primary keys
|
||||||
|
placeStates.set(0, { placeValue: 0, heavenActive: false, earthActive: 2 }) // ones
|
||||||
|
placeStates.set(1, { placeValue: 1, heavenActive: true, earthActive: 0 }) // tens
|
||||||
|
// NO conversion needed! Direct place-value access
|
||||||
|
// NO totalColumns threading needed!
|
||||||
|
```

## ⚠️ Risks and Considerations
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Breaking Changes
|
||||||
|
- This is a major architectural change
|
||||||
|
- Legacy `columnIndex` API will be deprecated
|
||||||
|
- Some consumers may need updates
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Migration Strategy
|
||||||
|
- Keep legacy `useAbacusState()` hook for backward compatibility
|
||||||
|
- Provide clear deprecation warnings
|
||||||
|
- Document migration path for consumers
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Testing Strategy
|
||||||
|
- Maintain existing test behavior
|
||||||
|
- Add new tests for place value logic
|
||||||
|
- Verify tutorial highlighting still works correctly
|
||||||
|

|
||||||

|
||||||
|
## 🎯 Success Criteria
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **No more totalColumns threading** - highlighting functions don't need column count
|
||||||
|
2. **Native place value API** - direct place value access without conversions
|
||||||
|
3. **Backward compatibility** - existing tutorials continue to work
|
||||||
|
4. **Performance improvement** - Map operations instead of array index math
|
||||||
|
5. **Maintainability** - adding columns doesn't break tutorials
