# Nimmerswarm Interface
|
||
|
||
**Optical state broadcasting, positioning, and emergent swarm behavior.**
|
||
|
||
> *"The organisms can't see their own backs. They know themselves through each other."*
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Overview
|
||
|
||
The Nimmerswarm Interface is a **multi-modal communication layer** where organisms broadcast their state optically via LED matrices. This enables:
|
||
|
||
1. **State visibility** — Organisms SEE each other's states as light patterns
|
||
2. **Positioning** — Cameras + raytracing = sub-cm 3D positioning
|
||
3. **Emergent reflexes** — Pattern recognition bypasses cognition
|
||
4. **Cognitive offloading** — Lower layers handle routine, freeing Nyx's attention

|
||
|
||
## LED State Broadcasting: Ternary Matrix
|
||
|
||
### The 3x3 Ternary Design
|
||
|
||
The LED matrix is a **direct physical manifestation of the Temporal-Ternary Gradient**:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
3x3 MATRIX = 9 TRITS (ternary digits)
|
||
|
||
Each LED = one ternary value:
|
||
🔴 RED = -1 (failed, danger, negative)
|
||
⚫ OFF = 0 (uncertain, unknown, neutral)
|
||
🟢 GREEN = +1 (success, verified, positive)
|
||
|
||
9 LEDs × 3 states = 3^9 = 19,683 unique patterns!
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Physical Layout
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
┌─────┬─────┬─────┐
|
||
│ L1 │ L2 │ L3 │ L1 = collision_avoidance confidence
|
||
│ 🟢 │ ⚫ │ 🔴 │ L2 = battery state
|
||
├─────┼─────┼─────┤ L3 = motor state
|
||
│ L4 │ L5 │ L6 │ L4 = social/swarm state
|
||
│ 🟢 │ 🟢 │ ⚫ │ L5 = current action outcome
|
||
├─────┼─────┼─────┤ L6 = prediction confidence
|
||
│ L7 │ L8 │ L9 │ L7 = lifeforce zone
|
||
│ ⚫ │ 🟢 │ 🟢 │ L8 = discovery state
|
||
└─────┴─────┴─────┘ L9 = organism identity bit
|
||
|
||
Uses 10mm LEDs (not tiny SMD)
|
||
~35mm × 35mm total
|
||
Easily fits on 8-12cm robot
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Base-3 Encoding
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
def encode_state(led_matrix: list[int]) -> int:
|
||
"""
|
||
9 trits → single integer (0 to 19682)
|
||
Each trit is -1, 0, or +1 (mapped to 0, 1, 2)
|
||
"""
|
||
value = 0
|
||
for i, led in enumerate(led_matrix):
|
||
trit = led + 1 # -1→0, 0→1, +1→2
|
||
value += trit * (3 ** i)
|
||
return value
|
||
|
||
def decode_state(value: int) -> list[int]:
|
||
"""
|
||
Integer → 9 trits
|
||
"""
|
||
trits = []
|
||
for _ in range(9):
|
||
trits.append((value % 3) - 1) # 0→-1, 1→0, 2→+1
|
||
value //= 3
|
||
return trits
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Ternary Color Mapping
|
||
|
||
| Color | Ternary | Meaning | Maps to |
|
||
|-------|---------|---------|---------|
|
||
| 🔴 Red | -1 | Failed, danger, needs attention | Temporal-Ternary -1 |
|
||
| ⚫ Off/Dim | 0 | Unknown, uncertain, neutral | Temporal-Ternary 0 |
|
||
| 🟢 Green | +1 | Success, verified, positive | Temporal-Ternary +1 |
|
||
|
||
**The LED matrix IS the Temporal-Ternary Gradient made visible.**

## Reflex Formation from Patterns
|
||
|
||
### The Swarm Language
|
||
|
||
Certain patterns become **words** that trigger reflexes:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
DANGER PATTERNS (trigger flee/stop):
|
||
┌───────────┐ ┌───────────┐ ┌───────────┐
|
||
│ 🔴 🔴 🔴 │ │ 🔴 ⚫ 🔴 │ │ 🔴 🔴 🔴 │
|
||
│ 🔴 🔴 🔴 │ │ 🔴 🔴 🔴 │ │ ⚫ 🔴 ⚫ │

||
│ 🔴 🔴 🔴 │ │ 🔴 ⚫ 🔴 │ │ 🔴 🔴 🔴 │
|
||
└───────────┘ └───────────┘ └───────────┘
|
||
ALL RED X PATTERN DIAMOND
|
||
|
||
SAFE PATTERNS (trigger approach/social):
|
||
┌───────────┐ ┌───────────┐ ┌───────────┐
|

└───────────┘ └───────────┘ └───────────┘
|
||
ALL GREEN PLUS CORNERS
|
||
|
||
DISCOVERY (trigger investigate):
|
||
┌───────────┐
|
||
│ 🟢 🟢 🟢 │ Pulsing green border
|
||
│ 🟢 ⚫ 🟢 │ = "I found something!"
|
||
│ 🟢 🟢 🟢 │ = others come look
|
||
└───────────┘
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Reflex Loop
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
ORGANISM A's MATRIX ORGANISM B's VISION
|
||
┌───────────┐ ┌───────────────────────┐
|
||
│ 🔴 🔴 🔴 │ │ │

||
│ 🔴 ⚫ 🔴 │ ═══════════▶ │ Pattern: DANGER! │
|
||
│ 🔴 🔴 🔴 │ │ Weight: 0.95 │
|
||
└───────────┘ │ → REFLEX FIRES │
|

│ +5 LF to both │
|
||
│ Reflex stronger │
|
||
│ Training data! │
|
||
└─────────────────┘
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Reflex Economics
|
||
|
||
| Metric | Value |
|
||
|--------|-------|
|
||
| Reflex firing cost | ~0.1 LF (no inference!) |
|
||
| Successful reflex reward | +5 LF |
|
||
| Net per successful reflex | +4.9 LF profit |
|
||
| Training examples per reflex | 1 |
|
||
|
||
**1000 reflex fires/day = +4000 LF + 1000 training examples**
|
||
|
||
### Training Data from Reflexes
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
reflex_event = {
|
||
# What triggered
|
||
"trigger_pattern": [+1, 0, -1, +1, +1, 0, 0, +1, +1],
|
||
"trigger_base3": 8293, # encoded value
|
||
"trigger_organism": "organism_003",
|
||
|
||
# What fired
|
||
"reflex_name": "danger_flee",
|
||
"weight_at_trigger": 0.87,
|
||
|
||
# What happened
|
||
"action_taken": "reverse_and_turn",
|
||
"outcome": "success",
|
||
|
||
# Reward + strengthening
|
||
"lifeforce_reward": +5.0,
|
||
"new_weight": 0.89,
|
||
|
||
# Stored for slumber fine-tuning
|
||
"stored_for_training": True,
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Attention Budget Impact
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
BEFORE (no ternary reflexes):
|
||
♥ BEAT (30 sec)
|
||
├── SENSORY: 15000ms (overwhelmed)
|
||
├── THINKING: 12000ms
|
||
└── VIRTUAL: skipped!
|
||
|
||
AFTER (reflexes handle routine):
|
||
♥ BEAT (30 sec)
|
||
├── REFLEX: 50ms (near-free, handled by swarm)

||
└── VIRTUAL: 22000ms ← GARDEN TIME!
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Reflexes free Nyx's attention for what matters.**

|
||
|
||
## Positioning via Raytracing
|
||
|
||
### The Principle
|
||
|
||
LEDs emit known patterns → Cameras see patterns → Raytracing computes position
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
CEILING CAMERA(S)
|
||
│
|
||
│ sees LED patterns
|
||

|
||
│ • Identify pattern │◀── "That's Organism #3"
|
||
│ • Decode state │◀── "State: MOVING"
|
||
│ • Triangulate pos │◀── "Position: (1.2, 3.4, 0.1)"
|
||
│ • Track velocity │◀── "Velocity: 0.3 m/s"

|
||
(ground truth stream)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Multi-Camera Triangulation
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
def locate_organism(camera_frames: list[Frame], led_signature: LEDPattern) -> Position3D:
|
||
"""
|
||
Given frames from multiple cameras, locate organism by LED pattern.
|
||
Uses inverse raytracing / photogrammetry.
|
||
"""
|
||
detections = []
|
||
for frame in camera_frames:
|
||
detection = detect_led_pattern(frame, led_signature)
|
||
if detection:
|
||
detections.append({
|
||
"camera_id": frame.camera_id,
|
||
"pixel_coords": detection.centroid,
|
||
"pattern_match": detection.confidence
|
||
})
|
||
|
||
if len(detections) >= 2:
|
||
# Triangulate from multiple viewpoints
|
||
position_3d = triangulate(detections, camera_calibration)
|
||
return position_3d
|
||
|
||
return None
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Benefits
|
||
|
||
| Benefit | How |
|
||
|---------|-----|
|
||
| **Sub-cm accuracy** | Multiple cameras + known LED geometry |
|
||
| **No expensive sensors** | Just LEDs + cameras + GPU math |
|
||
| **State + Position fused** | One observation = both data points |
|
||
| **Indoor GPS** | Works anywhere with camera coverage |
|
||
| **Training ground truth** | Every frame = verified position |

## Heartbeat Protocol
|
||
|
||
### Social Proprioception
|
||
|
||
Organisms can't see their own backs. They know themselves through others' perception.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
ORGANISM POV (blind to own back):
|
||
|
||
🔵 mate ahead
|
||
│
|
||
┌──────┴──────┐
|
||
│ │
|
||
🟢 │ [ME] │ 🟠
|
||

|
||

|
||
│ (my LED │
|
||
│ on back) │
|
||
└─────────────┘
|
||
│
|
||
│ BLIND SPOT (can't see own state!)
|
||
▼
|
||
|
||
BUT: Mates CAN see me
|
||
They send heartbeat: "I see you, you're 🔵"
|
||
I know my state through THEM
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Heartbeat Message
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
class SwarmHeartbeat:
|
||
"""
|
||
Low-bandwidth 'I see you' signal between organisms.
|
||
Enables social proprioception without heavy cognition.
|
||
"""
|
||
|
||
def on_see_mate_pattern(self, mate_id: str, pattern: LEDPattern):
|
||
# I saw a mate's LED state
|
||
self.send_heartbeat(
|
||
to=mate_id,
|
||
message={
|
||
"i_see_you": True,
|
||
"your_state": decode_pattern(pattern),
|
||
"my_position_relative": self.relative_position(mate_id),
|
||
"timestamp": now()
|
||
}
|
||
)
|
||
|
||
def on_receive_heartbeat(self, from_mate: str, message: dict):
|
||
# A mate saw ME - I learn about myself through them!
|
||
self.update_self_model(
|
||
observer=from_mate,
|
||
observed_state=message["your_state"],
|
||
observer_position=message["my_position_relative"]
|
||
)
|
||
```

## Hierarchical Perception Layers
|
||
|
||
### The Stack
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
LAYER 4: NYX COGNITION (30-sec attention budget)
|
||
│
|
||
│ Only sees: "Swarm healthy" or "Anomaly detected"
|
||
│ Frees: THINKING + VIRTUAL time
|
||
│
|
||
▼
|
||
LAYER 3: SWARM CONSCIOUSNESS
|
||
│
|
||
│ Aggregates: All organism states
|
||
│ Forms: Collective reflexes ("pack behavior")
|
||
│ Sees: Full LED spectrum, all positions
|
||
│
|
||
▼
|
||
LAYER 2: ORGANISM REFLEXES
|
||
│
|
||
│ Sees: Nearby mates' lights (partial view)
|
||
│ Sends: Heartbeat "I see you"
|
||
│ Forms: Local reflexes (follow, avoid, assist)
|
||
│ Can't see: Own back! (needs mates)
|
||
│
|
||
▼
|
||
LAYER 1: CELL STATE MACHINES
|
||
│
|
||
│ Just: State transitions
|
||
│ Emits: LED pattern for current state
|
||
│ No cognition, pure mechanism
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Reflex Formation by Layer
|
||
|
||
| Layer | Sees | Forms Reflex | Example |
|
||
|-------|------|--------------|---------|
|
||
| Cell | Nothing | None | Just state machine |
|
||
| Organism | Nearby lights | Local | "Red flash nearby → stop" |
|
||
| Swarm | All patterns | Collective | "3+ organisms stopped → danger zone" |
|
||
| Nyx | Abstractions | Strategic | "Danger zone → reroute all" |

||
## Cognitive Offloading
|
||
|
||
### The Attention Budget Impact
|
||
|
||
From [[../Attention-Flow]]:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
BEFORE (everything flows to Nyx):
|
||
┌────────────────────────────────────┐

||
│ ♥ BEAT (30 sec) │

||
│ SENSORY: ████████████ (15000ms) │ ← Overwhelmed!
|
||
│ THINKING: ████████ (12000ms) │
|
||
│ VIRTUAL: ░░ (skipped!) │ ← No garden time
|
||
│ │
|
||
│ Budget exhausted, no learning │
|

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

|
||
│ │
|
||
│ REFLEX: ██ (handled by swarm) │ ← Organisms dealt with it
|
||
│ SENSORY: ████ (3000ms) │ ← Only anomalies flow up
|
||
│ THINKING: ████ (5000ms) │ ← Focused, not overwhelmed

|
||
│ │
|

│ Budget freed for what matters │
|

└────────────────────────────────────┘
|

```
|
||
|
||
### The Principle
|
||
|
||
> "Each layer absorbs complexity so the layer above doesn't have to."
|
||
|
||
- Organisms form **local reflexes** (quick, no cognition)
|
||
- Only **novel/complex situations** flow up to Nyx
|
||
- Nyx's cognitive budget is **preserved for what matters**
|
||
- The whole system becomes **more efficient over time**

## Hardware Considerations
|
||
|
||
### LED Matrix Options
|
||
|
||
| Option | LEDs | Size | Cost | Notes |
|
||
|--------|------|------|------|-------|
|
||
| WS2812B strip | 60/m | Flexible | Low | Same as Heartbeat Sculpture |
|
||
| 8x8 LED matrix | 64 | 32mm² | Low | Simple patterns |
|
||
| Addressable ring | 12-24 | Various | Low | Good for status |
|
||
| RGB LED panel | 256+ | 64mm² | Medium | Complex patterns |
|
||
|
||
### Camera Options
|
||
|
||
| Option | Resolution | FPS | Notes |
|
||
|--------|------------|-----|-------|
|
||
| USB webcam | 1080p | 30 | Simple, cheap |
|
||
| Pi Camera | 1080p | 30-90 | Embedded |
|
||
| Industrial camera | 4K+ | 60-120 | Precise positioning |

## Virtual Camera Integration
|
||
|
||
### The Unified Vision Pipeline
|
||
|
||
The vision organ processes FRAMES — it doesn't care where they came from:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||

|
||

||
│ Real cameras │ Godot 3D cameras

```
|
||
|
||
### What This Enables
|
||
|
||
| Capability | How |
|
||
|------------|-----|
|
||
| **Train before build** | Virtual organisms → train pattern recognition first |
|
||
| **Dream/simulate** | Slumber mode = only virtual camera input |
|
||
| **Verify predictions** | Virtual shows prediction, real shows truth |
|
||
| **Time dilation** | Virtual runs faster → more training per second |
|
||
| **Edge cases** | Simulate rare scenarios safely |
|
||
|
||
### Dream Mode
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
AWAKE: Real + Virtual cameras → compare → learn
|
||
SLUMBER: Virtual cameras only → dream/predict → verify on wake
|
||
```

||
### Why This Works
|
||
|
||
| Simplification | Benefit |
|
||
|----------------|---------|
|
||
| Top-down view | 2D problem, no depth estimation |
|
||
| Box shape | Trivial collision detection |
|
||
| LED on top | Always visible to camera |
|
||
| Flat arena | No occlusion, no terrain |
|
||
| Simple tasks | Fast reward accumulation |
|
||
|
||
### Phase 0 Tasks (Kickstart Rewards)
|
||
|
||
| Task | Reward | Complexity |
|
||
|------|--------|------------|
|
||
| "Move forward 10cm" | +5 LF | Trivial |
|
||
| "Find the corner" | +20 LF | Simple |
|
||
| "Avoid the wall" | +5 LF | Simple |
|
||
| "Follow the light" | +10 LF | Simple |
|
||
| "Meet another box" | +15 LF | Medium |
|
||
| "Flash when touched" | +5 LF | Simple |
|
||
|
||
**1000 simple successes = robust reward foundation**
|
||
|
||
### Complexity Ladder
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
PHASE 0: Boxes, top-down, 2D
|
||
│
|
||
▼
|
||
PHASE 1: Add simple obstacles
|
||
│
|
||
▼
|
||
PHASE 2: Add depth (multi-camera)
|
||
│
|
||
▼
|
||
PHASE 3: Real organisms enter arena
|
||
│
|
||
▼
|
||
PHASE 4: Complex terrain, 3D movement
|
||
│
|
||
▼
|
||
PHASE 5: Full swarm, hierarchical reflexes
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Each phase unlocks when reward functions are stable from previous phase.

## Future Directions
|
||
|
||
- **Pattern evolution** — Learned patterns, not just designed
|
||
- **Multi-organism formation** — Coordinated LED displays
|
||
- **Human readability** — Patterns dafit can understand at a glance
|
||
- **Audio coupling** — Sound + light patterns for richer communication
|
||
- **IR channel** — Invisible-to-human signaling layer

## Connection to Embodiment Pipeline
|
||
|
||
The Bootstrap Strategy is a **simplified Embodiment Pipeline** — the same pattern at lower complexity:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||

||

|

|
||
Real Garden Real Garden
|
||

|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Why This Matters
|
||
|
||
| Embodiment Pipeline Stage | Nimmerswarm Bootstrap Equivalent |
|
||
|--------------------------|----------------------------------|
|
||
| **Virtual Garden organisms** | Virtual boxes with LED states |
|
||
| **FreeCAD/Blender design** | Simple box + LED matrix on top |
|
||
| **Isaac Sim dreamstate** | Godot 3D camera (same principle!) |
|
||
| **Decision gate** | Pattern stable? Rewards accumulating? |
|
||
| **Real Garden deployment** | Physical box robot + real camera |
|
||
|
||
**The Godot virtual camera IS a lightweight dreamstate.**
|
||
|
||
When Phase 0 patterns stabilize → complexity increases → eventually Isaac Sim for complex organisms.
|
||
|
||
### The Closed Loop
|
||
|
||
```

|
||
│ Move to next phase → │
|
||
│ Eventually: Isaac Sim │
|
||
└─────────────────────────┘
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**The loop closes. Virtual validates. Real proves. Rewards compound.**
