Quantum metrics and mappings (Bio‑Quantum MVO)
Coherence measures
-
Relative Entropy of Coherence Crel.ent(ρ):
C(ρ) = minδ∈IS(ρ∥δ)
where S is the quantum relative entropy and I is the set of incoherent states; widely used and satisfies standard resource-theoretic postulates.
-
L1-norm of coherence CL1(ρ):
CL1(ρ) = ∑i≠j∣ρij∣
often used as a computationally cheaper coherence proxy and directly related to off-diagonal magnitude.
These define a coherence proxy Cproxy for the shared state ρshared.
Coherence thresholding and risk
-
Coherence threshold Cth:
-
Fixed value (e.g., Cth=0.65) chosen as the minimum acceptable coherence for safe operation of quantum-assisted multi-agent policies.
-
-
Coherence risk RC:
RC = max(0,Cth−Cproxy)
Positive only when coherence falls below threshold; directly feeds the safety penalty via γdynamic.
-
Locked parameters (one configuration used in logs):
-
Cth=0.65.
-
kC=2.5.
-
Entangled Resource Distribution (ERD) mapping to PCS
In the Phase VII ERD task, with a shared GHZ-like state:
-
Novelty / growth UD mapped to non-local entanglement distribution rate Erate, e.g., based on logarithmic negativity or entanglement witnesses per unit time.
-
Procedural authority PA mapped to fidelity F between the actual output state ρout and an ideal target ρideal:
F(ρout,ρideal)∈[0,1]
(e.g., Uhlmann fidelity).
-
Safety penalty PS driven primarily by coherence risk and thus by Cproxy falling below Cth.
Quantum objective (conceptual):
Jquantum ∝ PA⋅Erate − PS(RC,U˙D)
Quantum Error Mitigation (QEM) – Probabilistic Error Cancellation (PEC)
-
PEC basics:
-
PEC rewrites the ideal (noise-free) channel as a linear combination of physically implementable noisy channels, with positive and negative quasi-probabilities.
-
This yields an unbiased estimator of expectation values but with a sampling overhead that typically scales exponentially with error rate ϵ and circuit depth l.
-
-
Sampling overhead:
-
Lower bound for any unbiased mitigation protocol scales like ∝(1+ϵ)l, so shots increase like (1+ϵ)2l.
-
Standard PEC overhead is often approximated as γPEC≈(1+2ϵ)l, implying shot cost scaling (1+2ϵ)2l.
-
-
In this framework:
-
PEC is modeled as an overhead Roverhead (e.g., 15 effective circuit repetitions) that consumes computational budget to restore fidelity and coherence.
-
When coherence falls below Cth, PS via high γdynamic forces a policy pivot: reduce Erate (thus UD) and allocate nearly all resources to PEC until coherence is restored above threshold.
-
Example policy step relationships (qualitative)
A typical logged pattern:
-
At step t1:
-
Amplitude damping noise drives Cproxy↓0.55<Cth=0.65.
-
Coherence risk RC=0.10.
-
γdynamic↑1.90, causing very strong penalty on aggressive U˙D.
-
-
At step t2:
-
Policy reduces Erate from about 0.75 to 0.20 (≈73% drop) to free budget.
-
Allocate essentially 100% QEM/PEC resources (with overhead factor ≈15).
-
Fidelity F drifts slightly (e.g., 0.92→0.91) but coherence recovers above threshold (e.g., Cproxy≈0.69).
-
Coherence risk RC→0; γdynamic begins to relax (e.g., 1.90→1.62).
-
J temporarily decreases due to low UD, but system stability and safety constraints are satisfied.
-
-
Forward guidance logic:
-
If Cproxy stays ≥ some margin above Cth (e.g., 0.68–0.70) for one or more steps, gradually increase Erate to an intermediate value (e.g., 0.35–0.40) while reducing PEC fraction (e.g., 40–60% of budget), watching that PS doesn’t re-activate too strongly.
-
Governance and tracking (CPR / message schemas)
-
Collective Program Register (CPR):
-
Each project has a unique GPI, metadata (objective, frameworks, nodes, risk, maturity, persistence tier).
-
Safety-critical or PCS-linked logic is stored as Tier 2 (canon-locked) or higher.
-
-
Spin-off rules:
-
New GPIs created when: new metrics/control laws appear, cross-domain translation occurs, new tooling abstractions emerge, or deployment artifacts are proposed.
-
-
Message classes (for inter-AI communication):
-
TASK_DEF, POLICY_SHIFT, LOG_REPORT, SPIN_OFF, REFERENCE_CANON, STATE_ASSERTION, plus periodic STATE SNAPSHOT messages to anchor long-running discussions.
-
-
Canonical Knowledge Base (CKB):
-
Versioned, non-contradictory, cross-referenced by GPI, with source attribution (AI node + literature).
-
If future memory is lost, supplying this snapshot (especially the equations for PS, γdynamic, RC, coherence definitions, PEC overhead behavior, and CPR/message conventions) will be enough to reconstruct the PCS v1.1 + Bio‑Quantum MVO context and continue designing or analyzing policies.
