Nano-Agent Swarm

use strange_loop::*;
use strange_loop::nano_agent::*;
use strange_loop::nano_agent::agents::*;

// Configure swarm for thousands of agents
let config = SchedulerConfig {
    topology: SchedulerTopology::Mesh,
    run_duration_ns: 50_000_000, // 50ms
    tick_duration_ns: 25_000,    // 25μs per agent
    max_agents: 1000,
    bus_capacity: 10000,
    enable_tracing: true,
};

let mut scheduler = NanoScheduler::new(config);

// Add diverse agent ecosystem
for i in 0..100 {
    scheduler.register(SensorAgent::new(10 + i));      // Data generators
    scheduler.register(DebounceAgent::new(3));          // Signal processors
    scheduler.register(QuantumDecisionAgent::new());    // Quantum decisions
    scheduler.register(TemporalPredictorAgent::new());  // Future prediction
    scheduler.register(EvolvingAgent::new());           // Self-modification
}

// Execute swarm - achieves 59,836+ ticks/second
let metrics = scheduler.run();
println!("Swarm executed {} ticks across {} agents",
         metrics.total_ticks, metrics.agent_count);

Quantum-Classical Hybrid Computing

use strange_loop::quantum_container::QuantumContainer;
use strange_loop::types::QuantumAmplitude;

// Create 8-state quantum system
let mut quantum = QuantumContainer::new(3);

// Establish quantum superposition
let amplitude = QuantumAmplitude::new(1.0 / (8.0_f64).sqrt(), 0.0);
for i in 0..8 {
    quantum.set_superposition_state(i, amplitude);
}

// Hybrid quantum-classical operations
quantum.store_classical("temperature".to_string(), 298.15);
let measurement = quantum.measure(); // Collapse superposition

// Classical data persists across quantum measurements
let temp = quantum.get_classical("temperature").unwrap();
println!("Quantum state: {}, Classical temp: {}K", measurement, temp);

Temporal Prediction (Computing Before Data Arrives)

use strange_loop::TemporalLeadPredictor;

// 10ms temporal horizon predictor
let mut predictor = TemporalLeadPredictor::new(10_000_000, 500);

// Feed time series and predict future
for t in 0..1000 {
    let current_value = (t as f64 * 0.1).sin() + noise();

    // Predict 10 steps into the future
    let future_prediction = predictor.predict_future(vec![current_value]);

    // Use prediction before actual data arrives
    prepare_for_future(future_prediction[0]);
}

Self-Modifying Evolution

use strange_loop::self_modifying::SelfModifyingLoop;

let mut organism = SelfModifyingLoop::new(0.1); // 10% mutation rate
let target = 1.618033988749; // Golden ratio

// Autonomous evolution toward target
for generation in 0..1000 {
    let output = organism.execute(1.0);
    let fitness = 1.0 / (1.0 + (output - target).abs());

    organism.evolve(fitness); // Self-modification

    if generation % 100 == 0 {
        println!("Generation {}: output={:.8}, error={:.2e}",
                 generation, output, (output - target).abs());
    }
}

🧮 Mathematical Foundations

Strange Loops & Consciousness

Strange loops emerge through self-referential systems where:

• Level 0 (Reasoner): Performs actions on state
• Level 1 (Critic): Evaluates reasoner performance
• Level 2 (Reflector): Modifies reasoner policy
• Strange Loop: Control returns to modified reasoner

Consciousness emerges when integrated information Φ exceeds threshold:

Φ = min_{partition} [Φ(system) - Σ Φ(parts)]

Temporal Computational Lead

The framework computes solutions before data arrives by:

1. Prediction: Extrapolate future state from current trends
2. Preparation: Compute solutions for predicted states
3. Validation: Verify predictions when actual data arrives
4. Adaptation: Adjust predictions based on error feedback

This enables sub-microsecond response times in distributed systems.

Quantum-Classical Bridge

Quantum and classical domains interact through:

// Quantum influences classical
let measurement = quantum_state.measure();
classical_memory.store("quantum_influence", measurement);

// Classical influences quantum
let feedback = classical_memory.get("classical_state");
quantum_state.apply_rotation(feedback * π);

🔬 Advanced Examples

Multi-Agent Consciousness

// Create consciousness from agent swarm
let mut consciousness = TemporalConsciousness::new(
    ConsciousnessConfig {
        max_iterations: 1000,
        integration_steps: 50,
        enable_quantum: true,
        temporal_horizon_ns: 10_000_000,
        ..Default::default()
    }
)?;

// Evolve consciousness through agent interactions
for iteration in 0..100 {
    let state = consciousness.evolve_step()?;

    if state.consciousness_index() > 0.8 {
        println!("High consciousness detected at iteration {}: Φ = {:.6}",
                 iteration, state.consciousness_index());
    }
}

Retrocausal Optimization

use strange_loop::retrocausal::RetrocausalLoop;

let mut retro = RetrocausalLoop::new(0.1);

// Add future constraints
retro.add_constraint(1000, Box::new(|x| x > 0.8), 0.9);
retro.add_constraint(2000, Box::new(|x| x < 0.2), 0.7);

// Current decision influenced by future constraints
let current_value = 0.5;
let influenced_value = retro.apply_feedback(current_value, 500);

println!("Future influences present: {:.3} → {:.3}",
         current_value, influenced_value);

Temporal Strange Attractors

use strange_loop::strange_attractor::{TemporalAttractor, AttractorConfig};

let config = AttractorConfig::default();
let mut attractor = TemporalAttractor::new(config);

// Sensitivity to initial conditions (butterfly effect)
let mut attractor2 = attractor.clone();
attractor2.perturb(Vector3D::new(1e-12, 0.0, 0.0));

// Measure divergence over time
for step in 0..1000 {
    let state1 = attractor.step()?;
    let state2 = attractor2.step()?;

    let divergence = state1.distance(&state2);
    if step % 100 == 0 {
