Mzekezeke - The Bayesian Learning Engine

Named after: The Congolese musical rhythm that provides the foundational beat - the underlying structure that gives meaning to everything else.

Core Philosophy

Mzekezeke provides the tangible objective function that transforms text orchestration into text intelligence. Instead of merely moving text through pipelines, the system now optimizes toward concrete mathematical objectives through temporal Bayesian belief networks.

This solves the fundamental problem of “orchestration without learning” by giving the text processing system something concrete to optimize toward: the Evidence Lower Bound (ELBO) of a temporal Bayesian belief network.

Technical Architecture

Temporal Evidence Decay Models

Mzekezeke implements multiple decay functions to model how text meaning degrades over time:

pub enum DecayFunction {
    Exponential { lambda: f64 },           // e^(-λt)
    Power { alpha: f64 },                  // t^(-α)
    Logarithmic { base: f64 },             // 1/log(base * t)
    Weibull { shape: f64, scale: f64 },    // Complex aging patterns
    Custom(Box<dyn Fn(f64) -> f64>),       // Domain-specific decay
}

impl TemporalEvidence {
    pub fn decay_strength(&self, time_elapsed: Duration) -> f64 {
        match &self.decay_function {
            DecayFunction::Exponential { lambda } => {
                (-lambda * time_elapsed.as_secs_f64()).exp()
            }
            DecayFunction::Power { alpha } => {
                (time_elapsed.as_secs_f64() + 1.0).powf(-alpha)
            }
            DecayFunction::Logarithmic { base } => {
                1.0 / (base * time_elapsed.as_secs_f64() + 1.0).ln()
            }
            DecayFunction::Weibull { shape, scale } => {
                let t = time_elapsed.as_secs_f64();
                (-((t / scale).powf(*shape))).exp()
            }
            DecayFunction::Custom(func) => {
                func(time_elapsed.as_secs_f64())
            }
        }
    }
}

Multi-Dimensional Text Assessment

Every piece of text is evaluated across six critical dimensions:

#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
pub struct TextAssessment {
    pub semantic_coherence: f64,      // Internal logical consistency
    pub contextual_relevance: f64,    // Fit within broader context
    pub temporal_validity: f64,       // Time-dependent accuracy
    pub source_credibility: f64,      // Reliability of origin
    pub logical_consistency: f64,     // Reasoning chain validity
    pub evidence_support: f64,        // Backing empirical support
}

impl TextAssessment {
    pub fn composite_score(&self) -> f64 {
        // Weighted geometric mean for robustness against outliers
        let weights = [0.2, 0.15, 0.15, 0.2, 0.15, 0.15];
        let scores = [
            self.semantic_coherence,
            self.contextual_relevance,
            self.temporal_validity,
            self.source_credibility,
            self.logical_consistency,
            self.evidence_support,
        ];
        
        scores.iter()
            .zip(weights.iter())
            .map(|(score, weight)| score.ln() * weight)
            .sum::<f64>()
            .exp()
    }
    
    pub fn identify_weak_dimensions(&self) -> Vec<WeakDimension> {
        let mut weak_dimensions = Vec::new();
        let threshold = 0.6;
        
        if self.semantic_coherence < threshold {
            weak_dimensions.push(WeakDimension::SemanticCoherence(self.semantic_coherence));
        }
        if self.contextual_relevance < threshold {
            weak_dimensions.push(WeakDimension::ContextualRelevance(self.contextual_relevance));
        }
        // ... check other dimensions
        
        weak_dimensions
    }
}

Variational Inference as Objective Function

The core breakthrough is using variational inference optimization as the concrete mathematical objective:

pub struct MzekezkeBayesianEngine {
    belief_network: BayesianNetwork,
    variational_params: VariationalParameters,
    evidence_decay: HashMap<EvidenceId, TemporalEvidence>,
    optimization_target: f64,  // Evidence Lower Bound (ELBO)
    atp_metabolism: ATPMetabolism,
}

impl MzekezkeBayesianEngine {
    pub fn optimize_beliefs(&mut self) -> OptimizationResult {
        // This is the tangible objective function the orchestrator optimizes toward
        let current_elbo = self.compute_evidence_lower_bound();
        
        // Check ATP availability for optimization
        let optimization_cost = self.estimate_optimization_cost();
        if !self.atp_metabolism.can_afford_operation(optimization_cost) {
            return OptimizationResult::InsufficientATP { required: optimization_cost };
        }
        
        // Gradient ascent on ELBO
        let gradient = self.compute_elbo_gradient();
        self.variational_params.update_with_gradient(gradient);
        
        let new_elbo = self.compute_evidence_lower_bound();
        let atp_consumed = self.atp_metabolism.consume_atp(optimization_cost);
        
        OptimizationResult {
            improvement: new_elbo - current_elbo,
            converged: (new_elbo - current_elbo).abs() < 1e-6,
            atp_cost: atp_consumed,
            new_elbo: new_elbo,
        }
    }
    
    fn compute_evidence_lower_bound(&self) -> f64 {
        // ELBO = E_q[log p(x,z)] - E_q[log q(z)]
        let expected_log_joint = self.expected_log_joint_probability();
        let entropy_term = self.variational_entropy();
        expected_log_joint + entropy_term
    }
    
    fn expected_log_joint_probability(&self) -> f64 {
        // Compute E_q[log p(x,z)] where q is variational distribution
        let mut expectation = 0.0;
        
        for evidence in &self.belief_network.evidence {
            let decayed_strength = self.evidence_decay
                .get(&evidence.id)
                .map(|decay| decay.decay_strength(evidence.age()))
                .unwrap_or(1.0);
            
            expectation += evidence.log_likelihood * decayed_strength;
        }
        
        expectation
    }
    
    fn variational_entropy(&self) -> f64 {
        // Compute entropy of variational distribution
        self.variational_params.compute_entropy()
    }
}

ATP Integration and Metabolic Costs

Following biological metabolism principles, belief updates consume ATP:

pub struct ATPMetabolism {
    current_atp: f64,
    max_atp: f64,
    regeneration_rate: f64,  // ATP per second
    last_regeneration: Instant,
}

impl ATPMetabolism {
    pub fn compute_belief_update_cost(&self, update: &BeliefUpdate) -> f64 {
        let base_cost = 10.0;  // Base ATP for any update
        let complexity_cost = update.affected_nodes.len() as f64 * 2.0;
        let uncertainty_cost = update.uncertainty_change.abs() * 5.0;
        let temporal_cost = if update.requires_decay_recalculation { 15.0 } else { 0.0 };
        
        base_cost + complexity_cost + uncertainty_cost + temporal_cost
    }
    
    pub fn can_afford_operation(&self, cost: f64) -> bool {
        self.current_atp >= cost
    }
    
    pub fn consume_atp(&mut self, amount: f64) -> f64 {
        let consumed = amount.min(self.current_atp);
        self.current_atp -= consumed;
        consumed
    }
    
    pub fn regenerate_atp(&mut self) {
        let now = Instant::now();
        let elapsed = now.duration_since(self.last_regeneration).as_secs_f64();
        let regenerated = elapsed * self.regeneration_rate;
        
        self.current_atp = (self.current_atp + regenerated).min(self.max_atp);
        self.last_regeneration = now;
    }
}

Network Optimization Strategies

Mzekezeke implements multiple optimization strategies:

pub enum OptimizationStrategy {
    VariationalInference {
        learning_rate: f64,
        convergence_threshold: f64,
    },
    ExpectationMaximization {
        max_iterations: usize,
        tolerance: f64,
    },
    GradientDescent {
        learning_rate: f64,
        momentum: f64,
    },
    NaturalGradient {
        learning_rate: f64,
        fisher_information_regularization: f64,
    },
}

impl OptimizationStrategy {
    pub fn optimize(&self, params: &mut VariationalParameters, gradient: &Gradient) -> OptimizationStep {
        match self {
            OptimizationStrategy::VariationalInference { learning_rate, .. } => {
                params.update_variational_params(gradient, *learning_rate)
            }
            OptimizationStrategy::NaturalGradient { learning_rate, fisher_info_reg } => {
                let natural_gradient = gradient.compute_natural_gradient(*fisher_info_reg);
                params.update_with_natural_gradient(&natural_gradient, *learning_rate)
            }
            // ... other optimization methods
        }
    }
}

Integration with Text Processing

Mzekezeke transforms every text operation into a belief update:

pub fn process_text_with_learning(
    &mut self,
    text: &str,
    operation: TextOperation,
) -> ProcessingResult {
    // Extract evidence from text
    let evidence = self.extract_evidence_from_text(text);
    
    // Assess text quality across multiple dimensions
    let assessment = self.assess_text_quality(text);
    
    // Update beliefs based on evidence and assessment
    let belief_update = self.mzekezeke.incorporate_evidence_with_assessment(evidence, assessment);
    
    // Apply text operation
    let transformed_text = operation.apply(text);
    
    // Validate transformation maintains belief coherence
    let coherence_check = self.validate_transformation_coherence(
        text, 
        &transformed_text, 
        &belief_update
    );
    
    // Update beliefs based on transformation results
    let transformation_feedback = self.mzekezeke.learn_from_transformation(
        &belief_update,
        &coherence_check
    );
    
    ProcessingResult {
        text: transformed_text,
        belief_change: belief_update,
        transformation_feedback,
        coherence_maintained: coherence_check.is_valid(),
        atp_consumed: belief_update.atp_cost,
        new_elbo: self.mzekezeke.current_elbo(),
    }
}

Uncertainty Propagation

Mzekezeke tracks how uncertainty propagates through the system:

pub struct UncertaintyPropagation {
    source_uncertainties: HashMap<EvidenceId, f64>,
    propagation_matrix: Matrix<f64>,
    accumulated_uncertainty: f64,
}

impl UncertaintyPropagation {
    pub fn propagate_uncertainty(&mut self, new_evidence: &Evidence) -> UncertaintyUpdate {
        // Calculate how new evidence affects overall uncertainty
        let direct_uncertainty = new_evidence.uncertainty;
        let interaction_uncertainty = self.compute_interaction_uncertainty(new_evidence);
        let temporal_uncertainty = self.compute_temporal_uncertainty(new_evidence);
        
        let total_uncertainty_change = direct_uncertainty + interaction_uncertainty + temporal_uncertainty;
        
        self.accumulated_uncertainty += total_uncertainty_change;
        
        UncertaintyUpdate {
            direct_contribution: direct_uncertainty,
            interaction_effects: interaction_uncertainty,
            temporal_effects: temporal_uncertainty,
            total_change: total_uncertainty_change,
            new_accumulated: self.accumulated_uncertainty,
        }
    }
    
    pub fn compute_confidence_intervals(&self) -> ConfidenceIntervals {
        // Compute confidence intervals for all beliefs
        let mut intervals = HashMap::new();
        
        for (belief_id, belief) in &self.beliefs {
            let uncertainty = self.get_belief_uncertainty(belief_id);
            let interval = ConfidenceInterval::from_uncertainty(belief.value, uncertainty);
            intervals.insert(*belief_id, interval);
        }
        
        ConfidenceIntervals { intervals }
    }
}

Usage Examples

Basic Belief Network Optimization

let mut mzekezeke = MzekezkeBayesianEngine::new();

// Add evidence from text
let evidence = Evidence::from_text("Machine learning improves diagnostic accuracy");
mzekezeke.add_evidence(evidence);

// Optimize beliefs
let result = mzekezeke.optimize_beliefs();
println!("ELBO improvement: {}", result.improvement);
println!("ATP cost: {}", result.atp_cost);

Text Processing with Learning

let mut processor = TextProcessor::with_mzekezeke();

let text = "The study shows significant improvement in patient outcomes.";
let operation = TextOperation::ExtractClaims;

let result = processor.process_text_with_learning(text, operation);
println!("Belief changes: {:?}", result.belief_change);
println!("Coherence maintained: {}", result.coherence_maintained);

This architecture provides the foundation for true text intelligence by giving the system concrete mathematical objectives to optimize toward, transforming it from a text manipulator into a text learner.
