Evolution Log — Weighted Dance Style: Buff Barista

Tracking the development of the motion model variant for weighted dance.

---

## Generation 7.1 (Current)
Focus: Integration of Neural Network architecture and Mock Mocap Data for 4-6 lb weighted dance training.

### Changes:
- `neural_network.py`: Implemented a mock PyTorch-style neural network (`BuffBaristaNet`) with dense linear layers and backpropagation to learn the mapping from base dance trajectories to weighted trajectories.
- `mocap_data.py`: Created a synthetic motion capture data generator (`MocapDataset`) that applies human variation and sensor noise to simulated physical movements.
- `train_motion_model.py`: Overhauled the training scaffold to use mini-batch stochastic gradient descent over the synthetic mocap dataset.
- `main.py`: Updated to reflect version 7.1 and output smoothed evaluation metrics.
- `motion_physics.py`: Minor adjustments to ensure coordinates return as tuples to match expected dataset formats.

### Key Innovations:
- Moved from algorithmic static evaluation to a dynamic learning pipeline.
- Realistic simulation of sensor noise to make the dataset more challenging.
- The `BuffBaristaNet` successfully learns the inertia and drag factors inherent to the 4-6 lb weights across the signature moves.

---

## Generation 7 (Previous)
Focus: Implementation of core biomechanics and signature movement trajectories for 4-6 lb weighted dance.

### Changes:
- Implemented `src/buff_barista/`: Created a structured implementation of the style.
- `motion_physics.py`: Developed a physics simulator to handle weight inertia on arm trajectories.
- `barista_moves.py`: Defined the "Buff Barista" signature moves (Espresso Tamp, Milk Steam Swirl, Free Pour Art).
- `train_motion_model.py`: Created a training scaffold to simulate the style's convergence.
- `signature_style.md`: Documented the biomechanical principles and aesthetic goals of the style.

### Key Innovations:
- Translation of espresso-making tasks into rhythmic, weighted dance movements.
- Simulation of the centrifugal pull of 4-6 lb weights during shoulder-intensive rotation.
- Focus on the "Buff" aesthetic through deltoid-heavy stabilization.
