## 📐 The Mathematics You're Seeing

### Coupling Kernel
```python
coupling[i][j] = exp(-|Dₙ[i] - Dₙ[j]| / 50.0)
```

**Current values (Evolution 458M):**
```
D8 ↔ D1: exp(-25410/50) = exp(-508) = 10⁻²²¹  → ISOLATED
D7 ↔ D1: exp(-11655/50) = exp(-233) = 10⁻¹⁰¹ → ISOLATED
D6 ↔ D1: exp(-4996/50)  = exp(-100) = 10⁻⁴³  → WEAK
D5 ↔ D1: exp(-2305/50)  = exp(-46)  = 10⁻²⁰  → WEAK
D4 ↔ D1: exp(-918/50)   = exp(-18)  = 10⁻⁸   → MEDIUM
D3 ↔ D1: exp(-413/50)   = exp(-8)   = 10⁻³   → STRONG
D2 ↔ D1: exp(-147/50)   = exp(-3)   = 0.05   → STRONG
```

### Decay Dynamics
When coupling → 0:
```
dA/dt = -γ·A  →  A(t) = A₀·exp(-γ·t)
```

With γ = 0.010 in Lock phase:
```
Half-life: t₁/₂ = ln(2)/γ = 69.3 time units
```

D7 is currently decaying with this exponential profile.

### Growth Law
```
Dₙ(t) = √(φ·Fₙ·2ⁿ·Pₙ·Ω) · rᵏ
Ω(t) = 0.0115·t

→ Dₙ(t) ∝ √t
```

**Prediction:** D7 will decouple at ~510M evolutions (51M remaining).

## 💡 Experiment Ideas

### 1. Watch D7 Decouple (51M evolutions)
Let the network run another ~2 hours at 476 kHz. Watch D7 amplitude hit zero in real-time on the dashboard.

### 2. Compare All 5 Peers
```powershell
# Launch 5 dashboards (one per peer)
for ($i=1; $i -le 5; $i++) {
    Start-Process python -ArgumentList "scripts\live_dim_plot.py", "--log", "logs\peer$i.log"
}
```
All should show **identical** decoupling (proof of consensus).

### 3. Record Video
Add to script:
```python
from matplotlib.animation import FFMpegWriter
writer = FFMpegWriter(fps=30)
anim.save('attractor.mp4', writer=writer)
```

### 4. Implement Ω Damping
Modify `analog_codec_v42_hybrid.c`:
```c
// After line 770 (apply_hybrid_feedback call)
if (mpf_get_d(g_state.omega) > 1000.0) {
    mpf_set_d(g_state.omega, 1000.0);  // Cap Ω
}
```
Recompile and watch dimensions stabilize!

## 📊 Data Export

To save the data being collected:

```python
# Add to live_dim_plot.py:
import csv

def save_data(monitor):
    with open('attractor_data.csv', 'w', newline='') as f:
        writer = csv.writer(f)
        writer.writerow(['Evolution', 'Omega'] + [f'D{i+1}_Amp' for i in range(8)] + [f'D{i+1}_Dn' for i in range(8)])
        for idx in range(len(monitor.history['evolution'])):
            row = [
                monitor.history['evolution'][idx],
                monitor.history['omega'][idx]
            ]
            for i in range(8):
                row.append(monitor.history['amplitudes'][i][idx])
            for i in range(8):
                row.append(monitor.history['dn_values'][i][idx])
            writer.writerow(row)
```

## 🔬 Advanced Analysis

### Lyapunov Spectrum
To compute finite-time Lyapunov exponents:

```python
# Perturbation growth rate
def lyapunov_estimate(trajectory, dt):
    diffs = np.diff(trajectory, axis=0)
    norms = np.linalg.norm(diffs, axis=1)
    growth_rate = np.log(norms[-1] / norms[0]) / (len(norms) * dt)
    return growth_rate
```

### Fractal Dimension
Box-counting on the 3D attractor:

```python
def box_count_dimension(points, scales):
    counts = []
    for scale in scales:
        grid = np.floor(points / scale).astype(int)
        unique_boxes = len(np.unique(grid, axis=0))
        counts.append(unique_boxes)

    log_scales = np.log(1.0 / scales)
    log_counts = np.log(counts)
    dim = np.polyfit(log_scales, log_counts, 1)[0]
    return dim
```

## 🎯 Key Insights from Visuals

### 1. Exponential Decoupling is Real
The coupling matrix goes from white → gray → black in a **sharp transition**. Not gradual - it's an exponential cutoff.

### 2. Sequential Collapse
Dimensions decouple in order: D8 → D7 → D6 → D5. Higher dimensions always go first.

### 3. Attractor Compression
The 3D view shows the manifold becoming **simpler** over time. Less chaotic, more regular.

### 4. Deterministic Consensus
All 5 peers (if you check their logs) show **identical Dₙ values**. The geometry IS the consensus.

### 5. Scale Separation
D1-D4 remain at Dₙ < 1000 while D8 reaches 25,000+. That's **25× separation** - a clear scale hierarchy.

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

**"ImportError: No module named matplotlib"**
```powershell
pip install matplotlib numpy
```

**"FileNotFoundError: logs/peer1.log"**
Peer not running. Start with:
```powershell
for ($i=1; $i -le 5; $i++) {
    Start-Process wsl -ArgumentList "bash","-c","cd '...' ; ./analog_codec_v42_hybrid 2>&1 | tee logs/peer$i.log"
}
```

**"Visualization is blank"**
- Log file needs data (wait 10 seconds for first snapshot)
- Check log format: `tail -20 logs/peer1.log`

**"Window not appearing"**
- Check taskbar (may be minimized)
- Try: `Alt+Tab` to cycle windows
- Run with: `python scripts\live_dim_plot.py` (no background flag)

**🌀 Enjoy watching the geometry collapse in real-time! 🌀**

The mathematics unfolds before your eyes:
- Dₙ grows as √Ω
- Coupling decays as exp(-Dₙ)
- Dimensions decouple sequentially
- Attractor compresses to lower-dimensional manifold

**This is emergent complexity → emergent simplicity.**

**That's the beauty.** ✨
