Responsibility: Detect contradictions using Sheaf Laplacian energy

Core Concepts:

• Sheaf Laplacian: Mathematical operator measuring local-to-global consistency
• Coherence Energy: Scalar value (0=coherent, 1=contradictory)
• Violation Detection: Identification of specific contradictory elements

Ubiquitous Language:

• Coherent: Energy < 0.3, no significant contradictions
• Warning Zone: Energy 0.3-0.7, minor inconsistencies
• Contradictory: Energy > 0.7, major contradictions
• Coherence Gate: Validation checkpoint before storage

Key Operations:

// Check coherence of vector set
checkCoherence(vectors: Float32Array[]): CoherenceResult

// Validate memory entry against context
validate(entry: MemoryEntry, context: MemoryEntry[]): CoherenceValidation

// Batch validation with progressive context
validateBatch(entries: MemoryEntry[]): CoherenceValidation[]

Core Concepts:

• Eigenvalues: Characteristic values of adjacency matrix
• Spectral Gap: Difference between first and second eigenvalues
• Stability Index: Aggregate stability measure

Ubiquitous Language:

• Spectrally Stable: Positive spectral gap > 0.1
• Clustering Tendency: Low second eigenvalue indicates clusters
• Connectivity: First eigenvalue indicates overall connectivity

Key Operations:

// Compute eigenvalues of adjacency matrix

Ubiquitous Language:

• Treatment: Intervention variable
• Outcome: Effect variable to measure
• Causal Effect: True effect of intervention (vs correlation)
• Valid Intervention: No unblocked backdoor paths

Key Operations:

// Estimate causal effect

Core Concepts:

• Agent State Vectors: Embedding representations of agent positions
• Agreement Ratio: Fraction of agents in consensus
• Coherence Check: Cross-agent consistency validation

Ubiquitous Language:

• Consensus Achieved: Agreement ratio > threshold AND coherent
• Verified Consensus: Mathematically validated agreement
• Byzantine Tolerance: Resilience to faulty agents

Key Operations:

// Verify consensus mathematically

Responsibility: Homotopy Type Theory proofs and verification

Core Concepts:

• Type: Classification of values
• Proof: Evidence of proposition truth
• Normal Form: Canonical representation of term

Ubiquitous Language:

• Proof Verification: Checking proof validity
• Type Inference: Deriving type from term structure
