Symn

Symn is a software framework intended for symbolic network modeling and symbolic computation. It supplies a domain-specific language for describing nodes, edges, and mathematical constraints, together with tools for manipulating symbolic expressions and solving systems that incorporate symmetry and invariants. The framework emphasizes the exploitation of structural symmetries to reduce computational complexity in large networks.

Symn was designed to support research in fields where algebraic relations govern network behavior, such as

The architecture comprises a core symbolic engine, a graph representation Layer, a constraint solver, and a

Key features include symbolic graph manipulation, algebraic constraint handling, symmetry-aware reductions, automatic simplification, and visualization support.

Symn has seen modest adoption in academic projects and niche industries; it remains a specialized tool rather
