+# exo-backend-classical
+
+Classical compute backend for the EXO-AI cognitive substrate with SIMD
+acceleration. Implements the `SubstrateBackend` trait from `exo-core` on
+standard CPU hardware, optimised for throughput and energy efficiency.
+
+## Features
+
+- **SIMD-accelerated vector operations** -- uses platform SIMD intrinsics
+  (SSE4.2, AVX2, NEON) for fast dot products, cosine similarity, and
+  element-wise transforms.
+- **Dither quantization integration** -- applies stochastic dithered
+  quantization to compress activations while preserving gradient signal.
+- **Thermodynamic layer (thermorust)** -- wraps every compute step with
+  Landauer energy accounting so the substrate can track real
+  thermodynamic cost.
+- **Domain bridge with Thompson sampling** -- routes cross-domain
+  queries to the most promising transfer path using Thompson sampling
+  over historical success rates.
+- **Transfer orchestrator** -- coordinates end-to-end knowledge
+  transfers across domains.
+- **5-phase cross-domain transfer pipeline** -- executes transfers
+  through assess, align, project, adapt, and validate phases for
+  reliable domain migration.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Add the dependency to your `Cargo.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+exo-backend-classical = "0.1"
+```
+
+Basic usage:
+
+```rust
+use exo_backend_classical::ClassicalBackend;
+use exo_core::SubstrateBackend;
+
+let backend = ClassicalBackend::new()
+    .with_simd(true)
+    .with_dither_quantization(8); // 8-bit dithered
+
+// Run a forward pass
+let output = backend.forward(&input_tensor)?;
+
+// Check thermodynamic cost
+println!("Energy: {:.4} kT", backend.energy_cost());
+
+// Cross-domain transfer (5-phase pipeline)
+let result = backend.transfer("vision", "language", &payload)?;
+println!("Transfer score: {:.4}", result.quality);
+```
+

+//! Domain bridge: wraps EXO-AI classical operations as learnable domains
+//! for ruvector-domain-expansion's transfer-learning engine.
+//!
+//! ## Why
+//!
+//! EXO-AI performs vector similarity search and graph traversal constantly
+//! but never *learns* which strategies work best for which problem types.
+//! This bridge turns those operations into `Domain` implementations so
+//! Thompson Sampling can discover optimal policies and transfer insights
+//! across categories (e.g. "approximate HNSW wins on high-dim sparse queries"
+//! transfers to graph traversal: "approximate BFS beats exact DFS").
+//!
+//! ## Two Domains
+//!
+//! - **ExoRetrievalDomain**: Vector similarity search as a bandit problem.
+//!   Arms: `exact`, `approximate`, `beam_rerank`.
+//!
+//! - **ExoGraphDomain**: Hypergraph traversal as a bandit problem.
+//!   Arms: `bfs`, `approx`, `hierarchical`.
+//!
+//! Embeddings align structurally (same 64-dim layout, same dimension semantics)
+//! so cross-domain transfer priors carry meaningful signal.

+//!
+//! Wraps a `thermorust` Ising motif and treats the energy drop ΔE as a

+//! is "settling" (becoming coherent); a near-zero ΔE means it is already
+//! at a local minimum or chaotically fluctuating at high temperature.

+//! The λ-signal can be used to gate min-cut operations or to weight
+//! confidence scores in the ruvector-attn-mincut pipeline.
