> *"Find bugs before they find your users. Fuzzing as validation."*

## Overview

**Move Smith Fuzzer** implements property-based testing and fuzzing for Move smart contracts. Uses MoveSmith's differential testing against multiple Move VMs to find consensus-breaking bugs.

## GF(3) Role

| Aspect | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Trit | -1 (MINUS) |
| Role | VALIDATOR |
| Function | Validates Move contracts via fuzz testing |

## Prover-Fuzzer Synergy

```python
class ProverFuzzerHybrid:
    """
    Combine Move Prover with fuzzing.

## Property-Based Testing

```move
#[test]
fun test_gf3_conservation() {
    let seed = 0x42D;
    let mut prng = movemate_random::new(seed);

    for i in 0..1000 {
        // Generate random triads
        let trit1 = random_trit(&mut prng);
        let trit2 = random_trit(&mut prng);
        let trit3 = (3 - trit1 - trit2) % 3;  // Force conservation

        // Property: sum must be 0 mod 3
        let sum = (trit1 + trit2 + trit3) % 3;
        assert!(sum == 0, 0);
    }
}

fun random_trit(prng: &mut PRNG): u8 {
    movemate_random::next_u8(prng) % 3
}
```

## Differential Testing VMs

| VM | Purpose | Speed |
|----|---------|-------|
| Aptos Move VM | Production reference | Medium |
| Move VM (reference) | Original implementation | Slow |
| Revela decompiler | Bytecode analysis | Fast |
| MoveSmith interpreter | Fuzzing-optimized | Fast |

## GF(3) Triads

**Skill Name**: move-smith-fuzzer
**Type**: Fuzzing / Property-Based Testing
**Trit**: -1 (MINUS - VALIDATOR)
**GF(3)**: Validates Move contracts through differential testing


## Scientific Skill Interleaving

This skill connects to the K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-skills ecosystem:

### Graph Theory
- **networkx** [○] via bicomodule
  - Universal graph hub

### Bibliography References

- `general`: 734 citations in bib.duckdb

## Cat# Integration

This skill maps to Cat# = Comod(P) as a bicomodule in the Prof home:

```
Trit: 0 (ERGODIC)
Home: Prof (profunctors/bimodules)
Poly Op: ⊗ (parallel composition)
Kan Role: Adj (adjunction bridge)
```

### GF(3) Naturality

The skill participates in triads where:
```
(-1) + (0) + (+1) ≡ 0 (mod 3)
```

This ensures compositional coherence in the Cat# equipment structure.
