**Self-Optimizing Neural Architecture (SONA) with TRM Recursive Reasoning, LFM2 Cortex, Ruvector Memory, and Intelligent Routing**

> *"The intelligence is not in one model anymore. It is in the loop."*

---

## What is RuvLLM?

RuvLLM is a **self-learning language model orchestration system** that combines frozen foundation models with adaptive memory and intelligent routing. Unlike traditional LLMs that rely solely on static parameters, RuvLLM continuously improves from every interaction through three temporal learning loops.

**Key Innovation**: RuvLLM doesn't replace your LLM—it makes any LLM smarter over time by learning from experience, routing intelligently, and preventing catastrophic forgetting.

### SONA: Self-Optimizing Neural Architecture

RuvLLM introduces **SONA**, a three-tier temporal learning system:

```
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│  • Records query trajectories with activation patterns                   │

### Federated Learning Architecture

RuvLLM supports **federated learning** where ephemeral agents collect trajectories and export to a central coordinator:

```
┌─────────────┐     ┌─────────────┐     ┌─────────────┐
│  Agent A    │     │  Agent B    │     │  Agent C    │
│ (ephemeral) │     │ (ephemeral) │     │ (ephemeral) │
└──────┬──────┘     └──────┬──────┘     └──────┬──────┘
       │                   │                   │
       │    export()       │    export()       │    export()
       ▼                   ▼                   ▼
  ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
  │            Federated Coordinator               │
  │         (persistent, large capacity)           │
  │  • Aggregates trajectories from all agents     │
  │  • Quality-filtered acceptance (threshold)     │
  │  • Auto-consolidation every N agents           │
  │  • Shares patterns with new agents             │
  └────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

**Key Components**:
- **EphemeralAgent**: Short-lived agents that process tasks and export learned state
- **FederatedCoordinator**: Central aggregator with 50K trajectory capacity
- **AgentExport**: Serializable state containing trajectories, stats, and patterns
- **Quality Filtering**: Only high-quality trajectories (>0.4 score) are aggregated

let mut coordinator = FederatedCoordinator::default_coordinator("main", 3072);
coordinator.set_quality_threshold(0.4);  // Only accept high-quality trajectories
coordinator.set_consolidation_interval(50);  // Auto-consolidate every 50 agents

// Create ephemeral agents for distributed learning
let mut agent = EphemeralAgent::default_federated("agent-1", 3072);

// Agent processes tasks and learns locally
agent.process_trajectory(
    embedding,      // Query embedding
    activations,    // Hidden state activations
    quality,        // Quality score [0.0, 1.0]

# Build WASM package
cd crates/sona
wasm-pack build --target web --features wasm
```

Use in JavaScript:

```javascript
import init, { WasmSonaEngine } from './pkg/sona.js';

async function main() {
  await init();

  // Create SONA engine
  const engine = new WasmSonaEngine(256);  // hidden_dim = 256

    hidden_dim: 256,
    embedding_dim: 256,
    micro_lora_rank: 2,
    base_lora_rank: 16,
    ewc_lambda: 1000.0,
    pattern_clusters: 128,
  });

  // Start trajectory

  const trajectoryId = engine.startTrajectory(embedding);

  // Record steps
  engine.recordStep(trajectoryId, 42, 0.8, 1000);

  // End trajectory with quality score
  engine.endTrajectory(trajectoryId, 0.85);

  // Apply LoRA transformation
  const input = new Float32Array(256).fill(1.0);
  const output = engine.applyLora(input);

  // Run learning cycles
  engine.runInstantCycle();  // Flush micro-LoRA updates
  if (engine.tick()) {       // Background learning
    console.log('Background learning completed');
  }

  // Get statistics
  const stats = engine.stats();
  console.log('Patterns:', stats.patterns_stored);
}
```

## Architecture Deep Dive

### HNSW Memory Index

The memory system uses Hierarchical Navigable Small World graphs:

```
Layer 2:  [3] ─────────────────── [7]
           │                       │
Layer 1:  [3] ─── [5] ─────────── [7] ─── [9]
           │      │                │       │
Layer 0:  [1]─[2]─[3]─[4]─[5]─[6]─[7]─[8]─[9]─[10]

• M = 32 connections per node
• ef_construction = 200 for build quality
• ef_search = 64 for query speed
• O(log N) search complexity
```

### FastGRNN Router

Sparse + Low-rank matrices for efficient routing:

```
           Input (128-dim)
        ┌───────┴───────┐
        │  LayerNorm    │
        └───────┬───────┘
    ┌───────────┴───────────┐
    │   FastGRNN Cell       │
    │                       │
    │  W_sparse (90% zero)  │
    │  U = A @ B (rank-8)   │
    │                       │
    │  z = σ(Wx + Uh + b)   │
    │  h' = z⊙h + (1-z)⊙ν   │
    └───────────┬───────────┘
        ┌───────┴───────┐
        │ Output Heads  │
        ├───────────────┤
        │ Model Select  │ → 4 classes
        │ Context Size  │ → 5 buckets
        │ Temperature   │ → continuous
        │ Top-p         │ → continuous
        │ Confidence    │ → continuous
        └───────────────┘
```

### MicroLoRA Architecture

Two-tier LoRA system for adaptive learning:

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                      MicroLoRA (Rank 1-2)                   │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│   Aggregated from successful MicroLoRA patterns             │
│   Merged hourly into base weights                           │

│                                                             │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

### EWC++ (Enhanced Elastic Weight Consolidation)

Prevents catastrophic forgetting:

```
Loss = Task_Loss + λ * Σᵢ Fᵢ(θᵢ - θ*ᵢ)²

Where:
• Fᵢ = Online Fisher information (EMA decay 0.999)
• θ*ᵢ = Optimal weights for previous tasks
• λ = Adaptive (2000 default, range 100-15000)
• Multi-task memory with circular buffer (10 tasks)
• Automatic task boundary detection
```

### SIMD Operations

Native CPU acceleration:

```rust
// AVX2 dot product (8 floats at a time)
#[target_feature(enable = "avx2")]
unsafe fn dot_product_avx2(a: &[f32], b: &[f32]) -> f32

// SSE4.1 fallback (4 floats at a time)
#[target_feature(enable = "sse4.1")]
unsafe fn dot_product_sse(a: &[f32], b: &[f32]) -> f32

// Automatic detection and dispatch
let result = SimdOps::dot_product(&a, &b);
```
