Node.js Integration

const StrangeLoop = require('strange-loops');

async function main() {
    // Initialize WASM
    await StrangeLoop.init();

    // Create nano-agent swarm
    const swarm = await StrangeLoop.createSwarm({
        agentCount: 5000,
        topology: 'hierarchical',
        tickDurationNs: 10000
    });

    // Add diverse agent types
    for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
        swarm.addSensorAgent(10 + i);
        swarm.addQuantumAgent();
        swarm.addEvolvingAgent();
        swarm.addTemporalAgent();
    }

    // Run simulation
    const metrics = await swarm.run(10000); // 10 second run
    console.log(`Executed ${metrics.totalTicks} ticks`);
    console.log(`Throughput: ${metrics.ticksPerSecond.toFixed(0)} ticks/sec`);

    // Quantum-classical hybrid
    const quantum = await StrangeLoop.createQuantumContainer(4);
    await quantum.createSuperposition();
    quantum.storeClassical('temperature', 298.15);

    const measurement = await quantum.measure();
    console.log(`Quantum state: ${measurement}`);
    console.log(`Classical temp: ${quantum.getClassical('temperature')}K`);

    // Temporal prediction
    const predictor = await StrangeLoop.createTemporalPredictor({
        horizonNs: 10_000_000,
        historySize: 500
    });

    for (let t = 0; t < 100; t++) {
        const current = Math.sin(t * 0.1) + Math.random() * 0.1;
        const future = await predictor.predict([current]);

🧮 Mathematical Foundations

Strange Loops & Temporal Feedback

Strange loops emerge through self-referential systems where:

• Level 0 (Reasoner): Performs actions on state
• Level 1 (Critic): Evaluates reasoner performance
• Level 2 (Reflector): Modifies reasoner policy
• Strange Loop: Control returns to modified reasoner

Temporal Computational Lead

The framework computes solutions before data arrives:

1. Prediction: Extrapolate future state from current trends
2. Preparation: Compute solutions for predicted states
3. Validation: Verify predictions when actual data arrives
4. Adaptation: Adjust predictions based on error feedback

Quantum-Classical Bridge

Quantum and classical domains interact through:

// Quantum influences classical
const measurement = await quantum.measure();
classical.store('quantum_influence', measurement);

// Classical influences quantum
const feedback = classical.get('classical_state');
await quantum.applyRotation(feedback * Math.PI);
