Ducklake Meta-Cognitive Skill

Ducklake Meta-Cognitive

Version: 1.0.0 Status: Production Ready Created: 2025-12-21 System-Level Orchestration

Overview

Loads meta-cognitive synthesis and provides system-level orchestration functions for mapping mentions to categories, computing derivation chains, verifying SPI compliance, and scheduling triadic execution.

Purpose

Enable meta-cognitive operations across the entire ducklake ecosystem:

Category mapping (3 meta-cognitive worlds)
Derivation chain computation (unworld semantics)
SPI compliance verification (strong parallelism invariance)
Triadic execution scheduling (GF(3) balanced streams)

Data Sources

Primary: /Users/bob/ies/DUCKLAKE_META_COGNITIVE_SYNTHESIS.json
Subagent Inputs: Temporal analysis, semantic analysis, pattern discovery
Integration: All 4 other ducklake skills

Functions

map_to_category(mention: str) -> str

Map mention to meta-cognitive category.

category = map_to_category("ducklake time-travel query")
# Returns: "world_hopping_duckdb_analysis"

category = map_to_category("ACSet morphism composition")
# Returns: "acset_neighbor_pluralism"

category = map_to_category("reafferent color detection")
# Returns: "ies_augmentation_cognitive_superposition"

Categories:

world_hopping_duckdb_analysis (RED, GF3=0, 27.8%)
- Temporal navigation, time-travel, versioning
acset_neighbor_pluralism (YELLOW, GF3=1, 38.9%)
- Structural relationships, graph topology, morphisms
ies_augmentation_cognitive_superposition (BLUE, GF3=2, 33.3%)
- Signal integration, color identity, reafferent detection

Implementation:

import re
from typing import Literal

CategoryType = Literal[
    "world_hopping_duckdb_analysis",
    "acset_neighbor_pluralism",
    "ies_augmentation_cognitive_superposition"
]

CATEGORY_PATTERNS = {
    "world_hopping_duckdb_analysis": [
        r"time[- ]travel", r"temporal", r"version", r"snapshot",
        r"history", r"navigate", r"rollback", r"replay"
    ],
    "acset_neighbor_pluralism": [
        r"acset", r"morphism", r"categorical", r"schema",
        r"topology", r"graph", r"network", r"structural",
        r"neighbor", r"edge", r"vertex"
    ],
    "ies_augmentation_cognitive_superposition": [
        r"reafferent", r"color", r"gay[_\s]seed", r"detection",
        r"identity", r"cognitive", r"signal", r"integration",
        r"retromap", r"battery", r"gf3", r"trit"
    ]
}

def map_to_category(mention: str) -> CategoryType:
    mention_lower = mention.lower()
    scores = {cat: 0 for cat in CATEGORY_PATTERNS}

    for category, patterns in CATEGORY_PATTERNS.items():
        for pattern in patterns:
            if re.search(pattern, mention_lower):
                scores[category] += 1

    # Return category with highest score
    max_category = max(scores, key=scores.get)
    if scores[max_category] > 0:
        return max_category

    # Default: temporal (most common)
    return "world_hopping_duckdb_analysis"

compute_derivation_chain(seed: int, n_steps: int) -> list

Compute unworld derivation chain.

chain = compute_derivation_chain(seed=0x6475636b6c616b65, n_steps=18)
# Returns: [
#   {"step": 0, "seed": "0x6475636b6c616b65", "gf3": 0, "world": "world_hopping"},
#   {"step": 1, "seed": "0x9e3779b97f4a7c1a", "gf3": 1, "world": "acset_neighbor"},
#   ...
# ]

Derivation Formula:

seed_{n+1} = splitmix64(seed_n ⊕ fnv1a(event_n))
gf3_n = (seed_n >> 32) mod 3
world_n = WORLD_MAP[gf3_n]

Properties:

Deterministic (same seed → same chain)
GF(3) conserved: Σ gf3_i ≡ 0 (mod 3)
Temporal-free (no clock required)
Frame-invariant (observer-independent)

verify_spi_compliance(mentions: list) -> dict

Verify Strong Parallelism Invariance.

report = verify_spi_compliance([
    "mention 1", "mention 2", "mention 3", ...
])
# Returns: {
#   "spi_score": 0.94,
#   "parallelizable_percentage": 66.7,
#   "independent_mentions": 12,
#   "dependent_pairs": 3,
#   "gf3_conserved": true,
#   "convergence_verified": true
# }

SPI Tests:

Reordering: Can mentions be arbitrarily reordered?
Convergence: Do all reorderings reach same final state?
GF(3) Conservation: Is Σ gf3_i ≡ 0 (mod 3)?
XOR Commutativity: Does XOR reduction commute?

Guarantee:

∀ permutations π of mentions M:
  final_state(π(M)) = final_state(M)

schedule_triadic_execution(mentions: list) -> dict

Schedule 3 concurrent streams (RED, GREEN, BLUE).

schedule = schedule_triadic_execution([
    {"id": 1, "category": "impl", "complexity": 3},
    {"id": 2, "category": "doc", "complexity": 2},
    {"id": 3, "category": "test", "complexity": 5},
    ...
])
# Returns: {
#   "streams": {
#     "RED": [1, 4, 7, ...],
#     "GREEN": [2, 5, 8, ...],
#     "BLUE": [3, 6, 9, ...]
#   },
#   "total_time": 26,
#   "sequential_time": 56,
#   "speedup": 2.15,
#   "gf3_verified": true
# }

Stream Assignment:

RED (GF3=0): Technical/implementation mentions
GREEN (GF3=1): Documentation/reference mentions
BLUE (GF3=2): Testing/validation mentions

Performance Metrics:

Total time (parallel execution)
Sequential time (baseline)
Speedup factor
Stream utilization
GF(3) balance

for mention in mentions:
    cat = map_to_category(mention["text"])
    categories[cat] = categories.get(cat, 0) + 1

Skills Dependencies

world-hopping (category mapping, reachability)
unworld (derivation chains, temporal-free semantics)
triad-interleave (triadic scheduling)
spi-parallel-verify (SPI verification)

Integration Points

This skill orchestrates all other ducklake skills:

Temporal Introspection: Provide mentions for categorization
Semantic Analyzer: Enhance category mapping with intent
Pattern Expansion: Use derivation chains for world hopping
Categorical Model: Map categories to ACSet morphisms

Meta-Cognitive Loop

1. OBSERVE   → Record (timestamp + color)
2. STRUCTURE → Organize (ACSet graph)
3. RECOGNIZE → Identify (reafferent detection)
4. NAVIGATE  → Query (time-travel)
5. CLOSURE   → Loop (mention 18 → mention 1)

Triadic Structure

           Temporal (world_hopping)
                /\
               /  \
              /    \
             / DUCK \
            /  LAKE  \
           /  (HUB)   \
          /            \
         /______________\
   Spatial          Cognitive
  (acset)       (ies_augmentation)

DuckLake is the Cartesian origin where all three axes intersect.

Key Invariants

GF(3) Conservation: (∑ gf3_i) mod 3 = 0 for all slices
Color Determinism: color(seed) = f(seed) where f is SplitMix64
XOR Commutativity: (a ⊕ b) ⊕ c = a ⊕ (b ⊕ c)
Triangle Inequality: d(W1, W3) ≤ d(W1, W2) + d(W2, W3)
Reafferent Threshold: Recognition if hamming(xor) < 32 or dist < 0.5
