• K-hop neighbor traversal
• Semantic search over hyperedges

Performance:

• Insert: O(|E|) where E is hyperedge size

Causal Hypergraph Memory

Key Features:

• Cause-effect relationship tracking
• Multi-entity causal inference
• Utility function: U = 0.7·similarity + 0.2·causal_uplift - 0.1·latency

Use Cases:

• Agent reasoning and decision making
• Skill consolidation from successful patterns
• Reflexion memory with causal links

Learned Index Structures

Implementations:

• RecursiveModelIndex (RMI) - Multi-stage neural predictions

• Linear models for CDF approximation
• Bounded error correction with binary search

Performance Targets:

• 1.5-3x lookup speedup on sorted data
• 10-100x space reduction vs B-trees
• Best for read-heavy workloads

Neural Hash Functions

Implementations:

• DeepHashEmbedding - Learnable multi-layer projections
• SimpleLSH - Random projection baseline
• HashIndex - Fast ANN search with Hamming distance

Compression Ratios:

• 128D → 32 bits: 128x compression
• 384D → 64 bits: 192x compression
• 90-95% recall with proper training

Topological Data Analysis

Metrics Computed:

• Connected components
• Clustering coefficient
• Mode collapse detection (0=collapsed, 1=good)
• Degeneracy detection (0=full rank, 1=degenerate)
• Overall quality score (0-1)

Applications:

• Embedding quality assessment

🚀 Usage Examples

Quick Start - Hypergraph

use ruvector_core::advanced::{HypergraphIndex, Hyperedge};
use ruvector_core::types::DistanceMetric;

let mut index = HypergraphIndex::new(DistanceMetric::Cosine);

// Add entities
index.add_entity(1, vec![1.0, 0.0, 0.0]);
index.add_entity(2, vec![0.0, 1.0, 0.0]);
index.add_entity(3, vec![0.0, 0.0, 1.0]);

// Add hyperedge
let edge = Hyperedge::new(
    vec![1, 2, 3],
    "Triple relationship".to_string(),
    vec![0.5, 0.5, 0.5],
    0.9
);
index.add_hyperedge(edge)?;

// Search
let results = index.search_hyperedges(&[0.6, 0.3, 0.1], 5);

Quick Start - Causal Memory

use ruvector_core::advanced::CausalMemory;

let mut memory = CausalMemory::new(DistanceMetric::Cosine)
    .with_weights(0.7, 0.2, 0.1);

memory.add_causal_edge(
    1,     // cause
    2,     // effect
    vec![3], // context
    "Action leads to success".to_string(),
    vec![0.5, 0.5, 0.0],
    100.0  // latency ms
)?;

let results = memory.query_with_utility(&[0.6, 0.4, 0.0], 1, 5);

🔧 Integration

Error Handling

Added InvalidInput variant to RuvectorError:

#[error("Invalid input: {0}")]
InvalidInput(String),

📈 Performance Characteristics

Feature	Complexity	Notes
Hypergraph Insert	O(|E|)	E = hyperedge size
Hypergraph Search	O(k log n)	k results from n edges
RMI Lookup	O(1) + O(log error)	Prediction + correction
Neural Hash Encode	O(d)	d = dimensions
Hash Search	O(|B|·k)	B = bucket size
TDA Analysis	O(n²)	For distance matrix

⚠️ Known Limitations

1. Learned Indexes: Currently experimental, best for read-heavy static data
2. Neural Hash Training: Simplified contrastive loss, production would use proper backprop
3. TDA Computation: O(n²) limits to ~100K vectors for runtime analysis
4. Hypergraph K-hop: Exponential branching requires sampling for large k

🔮 Future Enhancements
