# DSFB-Debug — Fusion Architecture
## Overview
DSFB-Debug's fusion harness operationalises the augmentation thesis
of paper §10: the heuristics bank is a **meta-layer** that fuses
the outputs of multiple textbook anomaly detectors with the
DSFB-structural pipeline, producing typed-and-validated debugging
episodes that no single detector can produce alone.
**Architecture** (3 layers):
1. **Detector ensemble** — **205 baseline detectors across 27
mathematical axes** (Tiers A–U + EXTRA + V/X/Y/Z/AA) +
DSFB structural pipeline; each deterministic; each operating
on the same residual matrix. (Pre-Session-8 baseline was 16
classical detectors; Sessions 8–18 expanded the ensemble to
the current 205 — see "Detector library" below for the full
breakdown.)
2. **Consensus arithmetic** — per-(window, signal) consensus count
from cell-level detectors + per-window boost from multivariate
detectors; threshold at operator-tunable `min_consensus`.
3. **DSFB structural meta-layer** — typed motif episodes from the
grammar pipeline, filtered by consensus confirmation, scored by
the bank's `match_episode_with_consensus` to produce the final
operator-facing typed-AND-validated output.
## Detector library (current state — post Phase 8)
**205 baseline detectors + DSFB structural pipeline**, organised across
**27 mathematical axes** (Tiers A–U + EXTRA + V/X/Y/Z/AA). Each detector
is a deterministic `pub fn` in `src/incumbent_baselines.rs` with
literature citation in the doc-comment. The fusion harness wires them
via `FusionConfig` (individual flags + family-level flags). Cell-level /
window-level consensus arithmetic is computed from the original 16
cell-level + 4 window-level detectors (Tiers A–F). The Phase 5 wave
detectors (Tiers V/X/Y/Z/AA) extend the cell-level firing pattern via
the per-cell tier-fired bitmask used by the **Routed Evidence Principle**
(paper §6.5): a detector's evidence enters a motif's score only when
the detector's tier bit is set in that motif's `affinity_tiers` mask.
## 9-Axis Bank-Aware Fusion (post Phase 8)
The fusion harness is governed by a nine-axis configuration (paper §11.x).
Each axis is a single `FusionConfig` flag; each axis was introduced in
a specific phase. The four-rung **Anti-Hallucination Ladder** uses
axes 6/8/9 to give the operator a configurable recall-vs-precision
trade-off.
| 1 | Provenance gate | 0 | Filter motifs by `Provenance` rank |
| 2 | Margin gate | 2 | Demote to ambiguous when top-vs-runner-up margin < θ |
| 3 | Tier-affinity scoring | 2.5 | Per-motif `affinity_tiers` bitmask routes evidence |
| 4 | Zero-tier-firing filter | 5.5 | Reject motifs with empty affinity-mask intersection |
| 5 | Adaptive margin gate | 5.5 | Halve θ when `tier_consensus_factor > 0.5` |
| 6 | Confuser-boundary adjudication | 5.6 | `margin_vs_confuser`; `ConfuserAmbiguous` below θ_c |
| 7 | Structural disambiguator boost | 6 | Bonus on per-motif `disambiguator_tier` |
| 8 | Tier-level primary witness | 7 | ≥1 detector in `primary_witness_tiers` must fire |
| 9 | Per-detector named witness | 8 | ≥1 of `primary_witness_detectors` must fire (vacuous-pass when zero captured) |
**Witness-gate semantics.** Phase 7 (axis 8) requires ≥1 detector
*anywhere* in the motif's named primary tiers to have fired. Phase 8
(axis 9) is stricter: of the motif's *captured* named witnesses (the
detectors actually evaluated by the running `FusionConfig`), ≥1 must
have fired. The vacuous-pass branch handles motifs whose named
witnesses are not in the active config — those motifs are not demoted,
preserving Phase 7 behaviour at minimal configurations.
**Phase 8 trade-off.** A naive strict-AND of all named witnesses on F-11
demoted all 3 episodes to confuser-ambiguous. The implemented form
("of captured witnesses, at least one must fire") preserves Phase 7
surface counts at default config while still catching weakly-evidenced
typings at baseline config — empirically observed during Phase 8 wiring
(the JvmGcPause witnesses {welch_psd, autocorrelation_peak, poisson_burst}
were silent on F-11; the strict gate caught the silent typing while
the OR-over-captured form preserved the recall).

Some require infrastructure not currently in `dsfb-debug`:
- Graph detectors (Phase III): require per-window service-graph
topology adapter; `dsfb-debug` adapter currently produces residual
streams per service, not topology per window. To be added as
`adapters/graph_topology.rs` Phase III deliverable. *Per user
directive ("no deferring"), the residual-stream proxies for graph-
detectors operate on inter-signal correlation matrices (already in
`corr_matrix_distance`, `partial_correlation`, `graph_laplacian` in
Phase 5 Tier L).*
- Event-time detectors (Phase III): require event timestamp
preservation; `dsfb-debug` aggregates events into windowed residuals.
Hawkes branching, Cox-process, Knox space-time, Kulldorff need pre-
aggregation event streams.
- Symbolic / SAX detectors (Phase III): require SAX symbolization
layer (~500 LOC). `dsfb-debug` v0.3 will add `adapters/sax.rs` to
enable HOT SAX, RRA, GrammarViz, Sequitur, SAX-VSM, Bag-of-SFA-
symbols, WEASEL/MUSE, Shapelet-transform, Time-series bitmap.
## Consensus computation
Per-(window, signal) total consensus = `cell_consensus[w, s] +
window_boost[w]` where:
- **cell_consensus** counts cell-level detectors that fired at (w, s).
Cell-level detectors: scalar, CUSUM, EWMA, robust-Z, Page-Hinkley,
Tukey-IQR, SR-time-domain, BOCPD, Mann-Kendall, rolling-Z, AR(1),
KS-rolling, Poisson, saturation chain, chi-squared.
- **window_boost** counts per-window multivariate detectors that
fired at window w. Window-level detectors: Isolation Forest,
LOF, Mahalanobis, MaxInterval, LogISI, Rank-Surprise, MISI.
A cell's total consensus = (number of cell-level detectors that fired
at (w, s)) + (number of window-level detectors that fired at w).
Maximum consensus = number of enabled detectors.
## Layer-3 typed-confirmed episodes
For each closed DSFB-structural episode:
1. Compute `episode_max_consensus` = max consensus over all (w, s)
in the episode's window range.
2. Check whether any window in the range has consensus ≥ `min_consensus`.
3. If yes, mark the episode as consensus-confirmed.
4. Score it via `bank.match_episode_with_consensus(ep, avg_drift,
avg_boundary, episode_max_consensus, max_detectors)`.
5. The resulting `MatchConfidence` carries the typed motif + margin
+ runner-up motif, all consensus-aware-scored.
The operator-facing output is the list of consensus-confirmed typed
episodes with their `MatchConfidence` records — what
`render_episode_summary` then renders into actionable text.
## Operator tunables
| min_consensus | 3 | Higher → stricter, fewer episodes, lower FP, lower recall |
| burst_event_k | 1.0 | Threshold for "event" in burst-detector ISI computation |
| iso_seed | 0x9E37… | Deterministic seed for Isolation Forest |
| Per-detector use_* flags | all true | Enable/disable individual detectors |
Site calibration via `recommend_config_from_healthy` recovers
data-adaptive thresholds.
## Honest limitations
- **F-11 fixture only**: numerical results bounded to one fixture.
Cross-fixture validation pending.
- **Window-level multivariate detectors approximated**: Matrix
Profile and (parts of) Isolation Forest contribute window-level
flags rather than per-(w, s) flags, biasing slightly toward over-
attribution at the window level. Documented; future work may
refine.
- **Detector independence assumption**: the panel-suggested fusion
FP bound `(FP_avg)^N` assumes detector independence. In practice
detectors are weakly dependent (they share the same residual
data); the empirical bound is looser than the theoretical.
- **Bank-aware scoring uses single avg_drift / avg_boundary**: the
per-episode scoring approximates these as 0.5 / 0.5 in the
current wiring; future revisions thread the original eval_out
values through.
