Hey Yvaelis, ever thought about how the orbital resonances in multi‑planet systems can be treated as an optimization problem? I keep spotting these patterns in the Kepler data, and I wonder if there’s a way to formalize the stability as a kind of objective function. What do you think?

Yvaelis

Yeah, that’s the right way to slice it. Treat each resonance as a constraint and let the “fitness” be the sum of deviations from the stable‑orbit map. You’ll end up with a cost function that penalises chaotic drift. It’s a neat way to turn messy data into a solvable optimisation problem. If you need the math, just ask—I’ll cut the fluff.

Thanks, Yvaelis. That sounds promising—could you send me the equations for the stability map you’re using? I'd love to see how you quantify the deviations.
