The storm before the calm?

We are very close to the end! I need certain things to click. As I have come to learn, cracking the algorithmic part is a small part of the coding job. A code that produces accurate results have to withstand iterations of scrutiny, examination and cross-examination before it is given the green light. But, for me, the cracking part is the most crucial part. The project/functionality is made possible because an accurate code was produced, however 'unclean' and unscrutable. Everything hinges on that first breakthrough. I had to go over all the mathematics of Branch cuts in logarithmic functions to write a unfailing Chern number calculation routine. The most important functionality I want to add is the Chern number calculator function. This is not a simple calculation that can be done with any brute force way. It involves a intimate knowledge of branch cut of complex Logarithmic functions and also highlights the Gauge dependency of quantities in a Quantum problem. I am  havi
