11labs-acset

Wraps the ElevenLabs voice synthesis API as an ACSet (Attributed C-Set) schema, with Unison algebraic effect handlers for typed voice operations.

Use When

• Integrating ElevenLabs TTS into a category-theoretic data pipeline
• Building typed voice synthesis workflows with compile-time morphism checking
• Managing multi-voice narration with GF(3) trit conservation across voices
• Accessing ElevenLabs via MCP server (uvx elevenlabs-mcp)

Workflow

1. Set API key: export ELEVENLABS_API_KEY="sk_..."
2. Start MCP server: uvx elevenlabs-mcp (or python3 unified_elevenlabs_mcp_server.py)
3. Define voice triad: assign trit roles to voices (+1 generator, 0 coordinator, -1 validator)
4. Synthesize: call synthesize with text and voice, receiving typed Audio output
5. Verify conservation: confirm sum(trits) === 0 (mod 3) across voice set

  # Morphisms

Unison Abilities

-- ElevenLabs abilities for voice synthesis
ability ElevenLabs where
  synthesize : Text -> Voice -> {ElevenLabs} Audio
  listVoices : {ElevenLabs} [Voice]
  getHistory : Voice -> {ElevenLabs} [Generation]

-- Voice as structural type
structural type Voice = { id : VoiceID, name : Text, trit : Trit }
structural type VoiceID = VoiceID Text
structural type Trit = Minus | Ergodic | Plus

-- Handler: ElevenLabs API client
ElevenLabs.run : '{g, ElevenLabs} a -> APIKey -> '{g, Http} a
ElevenLabs.run computation apiKey =
  handle computation with
    { synthesize text voice -> resume } ->
      audio = Http.post (apiUrl ++ "/v1/text-to-speech/" ++ voice.id)
        [("xi-api-key", apiKey)]
        (toJson { text, voice_settings = defaultSettings })
      handle (resume audio) with ElevenLabs.run apiKey
    { listVoices -> resume } ->
      voices = Http.get (apiUrl ++ "/v1/voices")
        [("xi-api-key", apiKey)]
      handle (resume (fromJson voices)) with ElevenLabs.run apiKey
    { pure a } -> pure a

-- GF(3) conservation check
conservesTrit : [Voice] -> Boolean
conservesTrit voices =
  sum = List.foldLeft (+) 0 (List.map tritToInt voices)
  mod sum 3 == 0

tritToInt : Trit -> Int
tritToInt = cases
  Minus -> -1
  Ergodic -> 0
  Plus -> 1

GF(3) Triad

11labs-acset (-1) ⊗ crossmodal-gf3 (0) ⊗ gesture-hypergestures (+1) = 0 ✓

Usage

;; Generate triadic narration
(import elevenlabs-mcp)

(defn narrate-triad [plus-text ergodic-text minus-text]
  "Three voices, one message, GF(3) conserved"
  {:plus (synthesize plus-text "Thomas")      ; FR +1
   :ergodic (synthesize ergodic-text "Daniel") ; EN 0
   :minus (synthesize minus-text "Anna")})     ; DE -1
