//! Paradox Engine: Detecting Temporal Semantic-Structural Divergence.
//!
//! "Drifting apart while growing closer."
//!
//! The Paradox Engine identifies entities whose semantic meaning (vectors)
//! and structural context (edges) are moving in opposite directions over time.
//!
//! # Concepts
//! - **Semantic Convergence**: The entity's vector is moving *closer* to a target concept.
//! - **Structural Divergence**: The entity is losing edges (or gaining distance) to nodes
//!   representing that target concept.
//! - **Paradox**: A high paradox score indicates an anomaly—e.g., an LLM agent
//!   starts talking more about "Security" (Semantic Convergence) but stops
//!   communicating with the Security Team (Structural Divergence).
//!
//! # Use Cases
//! - **Hallucination Detection**: An agent claims expertise in a new area but
//!   has no connections to sources of truth in that area.
//! - **Echo Chamber Formation**: Semantic clustering while structural ties to
//!   differing opinions are severed.
//!
//! # Example
//! ```rust
//! // Requires features = ["nova"]
//! use aletheiadb::AletheiaDB;
//! use aletheiadb::experimental::paradox::ParadoxDetector;
//! use aletheiadb::core::id::NodeId;
//! use aletheiadb::core::temporal::Timestamp;
//!
//! # fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! let db = AletheiaDB::new()?;
//! // ... setup temporal graph ...
//! # let subject_node = NodeId::new(0).unwrap();
//! # let target_concept_vector = vec![0.0; 128];
//! # let t1 = Timestamp::from(0);
//! # let t2 = Timestamp::from(100);
//!
//! let detector = ParadoxDetector::new(&db);
//! let score = detector.calculate_paradox(
//!     subject_node,
//!     &target_concept_vector,
//!     "embedding",
//!     t1,
//!     t2,
//! )?;
//!
//! println!("Paradox Score: {}", score);
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
