morie 森 — The Fates' Forest

morie is a dual-language (R + Python) scientific computing package for causal inference, sampling, psychometrics, point-process modeling, and criminological accountability analysis. The name is a compound: the Greek Moirai (/ˈmɔɪraɪ/, "MOY-rye", the three Fates) paired with the Japanese 森 (/moɾi/, "MOH-ree", "forest" — three trees stacked into one ideogram). It expands to Multi-domain Open Research and Inferential Estimation.

What's in v0.9.5

• 559 exported morie_* R functions — every public callable is now prefixed to avoid name collisions with other CRAN packages (morie_chi_square_test, morie_kmeans_clustering, morie_decision_tree_split, etc.). The companion morie.fn Python library mirrors these for cross-language parity.
• SIU subsystem — a full pipeline for the Ontario Special Investigations Unit director's-report corpus (English + French, 2005-present). See SIU pipeline below.
• Free-first AI helpers — local Ollama by default (gemma3:4b, translategemma:latest), with optional Gemini, Claude, or Vertex AI fallback. No paid API key is required for the default workflow.
• Polite-by-default HTTP fetcher — token-bucket throttling at 4 req/s, exponential backoff on 429/5xx, on-disk page cache.
• Built-in datasets — 41 datasets accessible through the shared SQLite store (morie_datasets.db), plus the SIU manifest (4,743 drids, 2,218 unique cases, language-classified).
• CPADS contract helpers and IPW / eBAC workflow functions.
• Outputs-manifest tooling — read, validate, audit, and build outputs_manifest.csv tables for reproducible research projects.
• Synthetic data generators for development and CI.
• C/C++ computational backend — Hawkes self-exciting point process likelihood (Markovian + non-Markovian), HTML-to-text state machine, SIU parser. See src/.

Scientific guardrail

• Synthetic data is for development, testing, demos, and CI only.
• Final inferential or policy-facing results must be produced from approved real data with full provenance.
• Synthetic runs must be explicitly labeled as synthetic in outputs and reporting text.

Install

From local source:

install.packages("r-package/morie", repos = NULL, type = "source")

From r-universe (development snapshot):

install.packages(
  "rmorie",
  repos = c(rootcoder007 = "https://rootcoder007.r-universe.dev",
            CRAN         = "https://cloud.r-project.org")
)

The assistant bridge supports a local fallback through the Python package when no live OpenAI / Anthropic credentials are configured.

Outputs-manifest example

library(rmorie)

manifest <- morie_read_outputs_manifest(project_root = "/path/to/project")
audit    <- morie_audit_public_outputs(project_root = "/path/to/project",
                                       manifest     = manifest)
morie_summarize_output_audit(audit)

Synthetic data example

library(rmorie)

synthetic_path <- morie_write_synthetic_data(
  path      = "data/private/synthetic_study_data.csv",
  n         = 8000,
  seed      = 2026,
  overwrite = TRUE
)

Cross-project adaptation

library(rmorie)

name_map <- morie_default_synthetic_name_map("generic")
name_map["cannabis_use"] <- "exposure_any"
name_map["bac"]          <- "outcome_continuous"

dat <- morie_generate_synthetic_data(
  n        = 5000,
  seed     = 1,
  name_map = name_map
)

SIU pipeline

A first-class subsystem for the Ontario Special Investigations Unit director's-report corpus. The fetcher handles both English and French templates from 2005 onward; the parser is hand-rolled C++ for correctness under SIU's heterogeneous markup.

Fetch and parse the full corpus

library(rmorie)

# Use the shipped language-aware DRID manifest; English-only,
# cache pages so re-runs are fast.
df <- morie_fetch_siu(
  lang       = "en",         # skip French drids automatically
  cache_html = TRUE,         # persist every fetched page locally
  rate_limit = 4             # requests per second (polite default)
)

# 2,218 unique cases x 64 columns; 100% format-clean on the
# shipping corpus per morie_siu_sanity_check().
nrow(df)

Audit a single case

# Inspect parser row + raw HTML + cleaned text side-by-side.
morie_siu_audit_case("16-OFI-019")

# Per-field "does the HTML actually support this value?" check.
morie_siu_anomaly_check("16-OFI-019")

# Diff parser output against an external table.
morie_siu_compare(
  case_number = "16-OFI-019",
  external    = my_other_table,
  field_map   = c(officer_count = "n_officers")
)

AI extraction (free local model by default)

# Default: local Ollama with gemma3:4b. No API key required.
morie_siu_llm_extract("16-OFI-019")

# Failover chain: try local first, fall back to Gemini only on error.
morie_siu_llm_extract("16-OFI-019", model = c("ollama", "gemini"))

# French to English translation via translategemma.
morie_siu_translate(text = "L'enquete a ete close...", target_lang = "en")

Supported providers: ollama (default), gemini, claude, vertex. Environment knobs: OLLAMA_HOST (defaults to http://localhost:11434), OLLAMA_MODEL (defaults to gemma3:4b), OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE (30m).

Format-validity sweep

sane <- morie_siu_sanity_check(df)
sum(!sane$ok)  # rows with format issues (regex / ISO date / Yes-No / chrome leak)

Aggregate accuracy

# How accurate is each column across a sample of cases?
morie_siu_audit_columns(case_numbers = sample(df$case_number, 50))

Canonical override system

The parser learns. Ship-time corrections live in inst/extdata/siu_canonical_overrides.csv.gz (47 hand-verified corrections covering 10 spot-checked cases). Users can add their own:

morie_siu_record_correction(
  case_number = "20-OFD-082",
  field       = "officer_count",
  value       = 3L
)

Overrides are applied automatically at the end of morie_fetch_siu(), per cell, by case number.

Inspect the manifest

manifest <- morie_siu_index()
table(manifest$`_language`)  # en=2531, fr=2212, unknown=0

Continuous integration

The R CMD check matrix covers six cells, all green on the release/v0.9.5-audit head:
