> Bio-Inspired Movie Recommendation & Taste Discovery Engine

Rovie is an algorithmic cinema recommendation platform built on a mathematical biological conductance model (Physarum polycephalum). It maps 10,708 indexed films and helps cinephiles discover films based on organic taste affinities rather than commercial hype, popularity bias, or generic collaborative filtering.

## Core Capabilities
- **BioEngine Taste Model**: Dynamic conductance network mapping 5,238 alpha curator taste tribes across cinema history.
- **Three Discovery Modes**: Classic (consensus essentials), Balanced (taste resonance), and Cult Mode (rare festival, underground, and arthouse deep cuts).
- **Frictionless Discovery**: Instant anonymous guest recommendations that adapt live in real time as users rate movies with 0.5-star precision.
- **Letterboxd & IMDb CSV Import**: Fast library synchronization with sub-second taste vector calibration.
- **Rarity Calibration**: Multi-tiered catalog classification (Mainstream, Uncommon, Niche, Deep Cut).
- **Headless B2B API**: Programmatic taste vectors and similarity endpoints for streaming services and catalog curators.
