SINGULARITY-MBP-APEX-COGNITION v1.0

The graph that thinks, learns, verifies, and evolves — autonomously.

TIER-7/APEX sits above all other MBP tiers. It orchestrates Tiers 0–6 as cognitive subsystems, applies evolutionary pressure to agent strategies, validates every output through critic sub-agents, and persists learned intelligence across sessions so THEMANBEARPIG never forgets a lesson.

Layer 1: EvoAgent Architecture — Population-Based Strategy Evolution

1.1 Core AORP Loop Controller

/**
 * EvoAgentController — Act-Observe-Reflect-Plan loop with evolutionary strategy selection.
 *
 * Each agent maintains a "strategy genome" — a configuration of search patterns,
 * query expansions, lane priorities, and scoring weights. A population of 8 strategy
 * variants competes via tournament selection. Winners reproduce with mutation;
 * losers are replaced. Over sessions the population converges on strategies that
 * produce the highest-value evidence discoveries.
 *
 * Architecture:
 *   Population(8 genomes) → Tournament(k=3) → Crossover → Mutation → Evaluate → Select

Layer 3: Hybrid Neural + Symbolic Reasoning

3.1 HybridReasoningEngine — Symbolic Rules Constrain Neural Search

/**
 * HybridReasoningEngine — fuses rule-based legal logic with semantic similarity.
 *
 * Architecture:
 *   1. Symbolic layer defines legal conditions as executable predicates
 *   2. Neural layer embeds evidence via sentence-transformers (384-dim)
 *   3. Fusion layer: symbolic rules constrain which neural matches are admissible
 *   4. Legal syllogism engine: major premise (rule) + minor premise (fact) → conclusion
 *
 * The symbolic layer prevents neural hallucination: even if a neural match is
 * semantically similar, it must satisfy the symbolic predicate to pass through.

Anti-Patterns — 25 INVIOLABLE Rules

Every anti-pattern learned from real failures across 41+ sessions.

| # | Anti-Pattern | Why It's Fatal | Correct Pattern | |---|-------------|----------------|-----------------| | 1 | Agent writes to evidence tables | Corrupts sworn evidence — data integrity violation | Read-only DB access; writes via separate verified pipeline | | 2 | Neural output accepted without symbolic check | Hallucinated citations enter the graph | Every neural result → symbolic predicate gate → CriticAgent verify | | 3 | Evolution past checkpoint without fitness validation | Bad strategies propagate, fitness regression | Fitness must improve or hold ≥ 2 consecutive gens before checkpoint | | 4 | More than 2 concurrent background agents | 429 rate limits stall entire fleet | maxParallelAgents = 2, batch remaining tasks | | 5 | Confidence score used raw without calibration | Overconfident claims damage credibility in court | Every confidence → ConfidenceCalibrator.adjust() before display | | 6 | Hardcoded separation day count | Stale counts in filings = automatic FAIL | (today - date(2025,7,29)).days computed at render time | | 7 | Citation fabricated to fill an argument gap | Rule 9 violation — unverifiable citation destroys filing | CriticAgent.validateCitations() before any citation enters output | | 8 | Single-stage contradiction detection (cosine only) | Contradictory statements are often semantically similar | Two-stage: bi-encoder retrieval → cross-encoder rerank | | 9 | Strategy genome never mutated | Premature convergence — population loses diversity | Mutation rate ≥ 0.10 on every non-elite genome | | 10 | Population diversity drops below 0.05 | Monoculture — all agents use same strategy | Monitor _populationDiversity(); inject random genomes if CV < 0.05 | | 11 | Calibration curve built from < 20 data points | Noisy curve leads to wrong adjustments | Minimum 20 resolved predictions per bucket before using curve | | 12 | Agent retries same failed strategy | Definition of insanity — same input same error | Mutate strategy genome before each retry | | 13 | Learning persisted only to localStorage | Browser cache wipe deletes all intelligence | Three-tier: localStorage + IndexedDB + DB write-back | | 14 | Child's full name in any agent output | MCR 8.119(H) violation | Hallucination guard regex catches Lincoln David | | 15 | Agent generates aggregate statistics for filings | Rule 20 — AI-generated counts destroy credibility | Only hand-countable or specific-query-backed stats in filings | | 16 | Fleet orchestrator decomposes into 5+ parallel tasks | Exceeds agent concurrency limit, triggers cascading failures | Max 2 parallel, batch remainder sequentially | | 17 | Cross-session learning replays stale genome on new data | Old strategies may be suboptimal for changed evidence landscape | Re-evaluate imported genomes for 3 gens before trusting fitness | | 18 | Syllogism built without checking required elements | Incomplete IRAC — court rejects for insufficient argument | requiredElements check in buildSyllogism(), gaps reported | | 19 | EvoAgent exploits only — zero exploration | Misses novel evidence in unexplored lanes | ε-greedy with ε ≥ 0.15 ensures exploration | | 20 | CriticAgent bypassed for "trusted" sources | Even court orders can be misquoted or mis-cited | Every intelligence item goes through full 5-axis verification | | 21 | Fitness function rewards volume over quality | Agent floods graph with low-value noise | highValue * 3.0 + novel * 2.0 + total * 0.1 — quality weighted 30:1 | | 22 | Symbolic rules hardcoded without template ID | Can't trace which rule produced which conclusion | Every rule has a unique template ID (e.g., MCL_722_23_j) | | 23 | DB query in AORP loop without parameterized bind | SQL injection or FTS5 syntax crash | All queries use ? placeholders with params array | | 24 | Genetic crossover without normalization | Scoring weights sum to > 1.0 or < 1.0 after blend | Renormalize weights after every crossover and mutation | | 25 | Agent fleet starts without EvoAgent initialization | No strategy genome loaded — random behavior | FleetOrchestrator constructor requires EvoAgentController instance |
