Journeys Seen as Paths, Not Points.
A trajectory archive for the shape of the route · ZPE-Geo · PyPI zpe-geo v0.1.1 · github.com/Zer0pa/ZPE-Geo
GPS records where you were. It cannot show what the journey looked like. ZPE-Geo keeps the path itself — the curve of the road, the arc of the vessel, the sweep of the turn — as a compact archive packet.
Movement compresses 13.78× on a 34,668-way OpenStreetMap extract; a maneuver query returns P@10 = 1.0 on 210 trajectories. Scope is bounded: archive and search only, not navigation, not lossless geometry.

GPS captures where you were. it cannot tell you what the journey looked like.
A route is not its waypoints — it is its arc.
GPS logs, GeoJSON files, parquet tables: a journey today becomes a list of timestamped coordinates. The shape between them — its curve, its arc — is inferred later, or lost.
ZPE-Geo encodes movement as delta packets that hold the shape of the journey, not just its points. Compression reaches 13.78× on a 34,668-way OpenStreetMap extract, 27.3× on real GeoLife GPS, 21.0× on real NOAA AIS. A maneuver index finds routes by the movement inside them.
Every metric stays tied to declared OSM, AIS, and GPS surfaces.
Same trajectory bytes,
same query results on fixtures.
On declared repo fixtures, the delta-stream codec produces repeatable compressed bytes under local replay; maneuver queries return stable match sets. Full-corpus extracts — Argoverse2 and NOAA — missed the max-wave check and remain open.
AV fidelity reports p95 1.86 m and max 2.17 m against a 1.0 m threshold; that surface is unresolved. ACM-2025 parity stays inconclusive. The archive-and-search claim is bounded: declared OSM and trajectory fixtures only.
Bound to OSM ways and declared fixtures. AV fidelity p95/max exceed the 1.0 m threshold; OSM DTW p95 trails Douglas-Peucker. Argoverse2 / NOAA max-wave and full-corpus closure remain open. PyPI v0.1.1 is stale; 0.1.2 pending. No lossless-geometry, navigation-system, or road-graph claim.
EVERY JOURNEY BECOMES a queryable path.
The aim is not a better mapping system. It is the archive beneath one. When a trajectory keeps its shape, a route can be stored compact and retrieved by the path it traces — searched by behavior, not by timestamp. Reaching it depends on closing max-wave, full-corpus, and blind-clone gaps.
