अष्टाध्यायी - 2


This article is my key take away points from PythonKrit workshop, at Samskrit Bharti Bangalore during March 2025

Dr. Amba Kulkarni explains how ASHTADHYAYI by sage PAANINI is similar to computer programming and compiler design 

https://sanskrit.uohyd.ac.in/faculty/amba/ and https://www.sanskritstudiespodcast.com/1759898/episodes/12324157-16-amba-kulkarni-sanskrit-and-computers

ASHTADHYAYI is also Algorithm and Data structure. Class/Object has data and function. Paanini's DHTAATU list has name of DHAATU and "इत् प्रत्यय". Here "इत् प्रत्यय" indicates, which operation to be performed. We know the challenges with multiple inheritance in Object Oriented Programming. Prof. Ashvini Bhave shows how TADDHITTA indicates single inheritance. 

Sage PAANINI introduced a new data structure SHIVA-SUTRA. He rearranged all character and did slicing then perform Boolean operation that input character belongs to given list or not, given input set of character is subset or not. 

Meta language itself is part of ASHTADHYAYI .

Three types of rules

1. regular rules

2. context free rules

3. context sensitive rules

We use regular expression * for beginning AADI , UPAADHAA for set of characters in middle with [] and $ for end of line (ANTHA). 

We know yacc and bison tools are for context free grammar. If we write all PAANINI rules as per syntax of yacc and bison then we can analyze the complexity of PAANINI's ASHTADHYAYI  grammar. There are few non-formal aspects in ASHTADHYAYI, as it was written to understand by human brain, not by computer. 

Sage PAANINI was about 1500 years ahead of time compare to today's computing power.

Rules are like event in programming. To understand grammar one of the rule shall be evaluated, it is like firing an event. 

ANUVRUTI is similar to factorization in Maths. 

Dr. Saroja Bhate explained (1) what is role of aakanksha in deciding anuvruti and 
fundamentals of anuvruti

Compression in Sanskrit grammar. Sage PAANINI compressed LAGHU SIDDHANTA KAUMIDI with help of VRUTI to 1/3 size and wrote ASHTADHYAYI

yathodasa is like Interpreter and karyakala is like compiler

abhidha, laxana and vyanjana are 3 powers of words. Not sure, when today's LLM will understand them. 

MAHAA-BHAASHYA learning is better than learning ASHTADHYAYI.

Dr Srinivas Varkhedi has strong opinion that, Sanskrit scholar already knows computer science concepts and programming with knowledge of Sanskrit grammar. In future, we will not have trust our car. As it might be hacked by AI tools. So we will travel by bullock cart, because bullocks listen to us, car may not. AI tools cannot hack bullocks. 

Today's LLMs are fed against SANAATANAA DHARMA. It is difficult to erase. They are biased against SANAATANAA DHARMA. We know that, it is difficult to re-train our kids who studied in school/college. Then retraining LLMs is even more difficult. The current generation will use AI and they may be against SANAATANAA DHARMA in future. So we need 1000 Sanskrit students who can say what is right and what is wrong about SANAATANAA DHARMA with authenticity.

Mutable?         Yes No Yes

Different Data Types? Yes Yes Yes

Can be indexed?         Yes Yes Yes by keys

Syntax                 [] () {}

Duplicate elements? Yes Yes Yes, but key must be unique


  • Both List and tuple supports: Slicing and skipping index
  • Tuple is immutable, so faster



AI for Observability


The speaker explains his solution about adding AI for observability. Where observability includes logs, traces and matrices. 

Features

It does not embed log message. most sophisticated GenAI also takes maximum 2 millions token. Logs generates it in 2 seconds. So solution need to feed right data to AI. It understands form log, which field shall be feed as initial value and then instruct to feed more data. 

It creates visualization dashboard based on question

It has level 0 (manual observability) to level 4 (full observability)

It uses AWS Bedrock to solve privacy issue and compliance. 

In future solution : GenAI 

- will understand deployment

- will understand changes between deployments and its impact : cost, error increase or decrease. 

- can go to Github repo to know changes that happen

- can fix the code

- then write test (UT) so it cannot happen again

So it makes much stable environment. It can make autonomous cluster configuration

At present, the solution has

- ability to analyze exception. Root cause analysis of exception. not 100% accurate all the time. It gives list of actions, that are taken to understand & troubleshoot problem. The solution can auto run RCA for each alert. 

As we know GenAI has 3 models

1. generic questions

2. RAG

3. Agent

Yes, the solution will make openAI calls. every openAI call costs money. Now cost is reducing. 

Future we may have trend of : BoY RAG

Final thoughts

The choice between DeepSeek R1, Llama 3.2, and OpenAI o1 depends on specific project requirements:


  • Choose DeepSeek R1 for budget-friendly deployments with strong reasoning capabilities.
  • Opt for Llama 3.2 if multimodal functionality or edge optimisation is critical.
  • Select OpenAI o1 for unparalleled reasoning performance in STEM fields despite its higher cost.

SPIFFE


SA is at cluster level. 

So Nepheo could not use SA

Every CSP has workload identity

spiffe is standard: 

- spiffe id. It is URL. 

- spiffe verifiable documents (SVIDs): cert or toekn

- The spiffe workload API. 

spire: spiffe Runtime Environment. 

- A toolchain of API for establising trust based on spifee

- provides out of the box attestation plugins

Expiry is short. can be 4 hours. So no need of revocation

* spire agent can be colocated. it is dameonset in K8s. 

=========

Nephio

ss7, sigtra, ngin, CN model (e.g. ORAN)

DISH is on AWS

CP based requirement for identity

Nephio SIG security wiki page has all details

Porch : Package Orchestration KPT

KPT does in place substitution 

5G requirements / usecases

IMS, SMO , IMS

LF article about Nephio spifee implementation at LF wiki

Catalog packages at GitOps

Each cluster shall have its own repo

Identity federation is based on cert chain. 

R3 Oct 23 of Nephio. 

It is proposed solution. It will be upstream. 

Workload identity solution shall not be native to specific cloud provider. 

Identity federation across CSPs. 

Google, E//, RedHat are in Nephio

SPIRE's alternative may be due to speicfic attestion plugin

What protocol between SPIRE Agent and SPIRE server? Bootstrap trust. it is pre-provision aspect. REST API and TLS. x.509 cert will be pulled. protocol is spire specific

Today's attestation is based on SA, pod labels, namespace. 

CA, Cert Manager can be used. 

Network Automation


Telecom Networks are complex due to multi layer, multi vendor

N/w Management -> SDN -> Intent Based Networking (programable and declarative) -> Cloud Native Networking

Earlier Monolithic NMS with FCAPS

Now : CICD, Microservice, K8s. 

NSP (N/s Service Platform) is for IP and optical domain

It has API (OpenAPI Spec). 

Model-driven mediation

Framework has orchestration 

Contributed by Nokia: Kubenet, gNMIc, SDCIO

1. Unified Artifactory Manager Component

It uses Kubespray

UAM creates CRs. CRs are consumed by deployer. Deployer is short lived job. 

2. Telemetry: 

A: internal NSP components

B: External system

Four Core Principle

1. Model driven

2. Vendor & Mediation Agnostic

3. Horizontal scale

4. Resilent

Six Layers

6. Analytics and optimization layer

5. o/p / storage layer : Kafka

3.and 4 make it model driven

4. Normalization Layer

3. Mapping layer

2. Collector layer (SNMP, gNMI) 

1. N/w layer

Architecture

UAM, Restconf GW

source : from network using SNMP, gNMI

Sink: influxDB, Prm, VErtica, Kafka, PostgreSQL, File

Source and Sink are connected using NATS. NATS also connected with multiple transform worker using transformer CR from UAM

gNMIc

1. single mode

2. CLI mode (auto complete option)

3. cluster mode (more replica. one is leader). 

Kubenet and SDCIO

declarative model and event driven reconciliation. It is more n/w automation using K8s. Gitops principle. 

Arch:

SDCIO Schema Driven Configuration. 

IPAM etc are CRD to build abstract network configuration. 

Config CR and ConfigSet CR, RunningConfig, UnmanagedConfig. It has different backend own etcd. 

YANG by schema server. 

==========================

BNG, CUPS specific implementation 

Kubenet Nephio are solving same problem? May be overlap. 

APIs for sink? customer provides sink. 

Kubenet is automation. more than NMS
