## Implementation Details

### 1. Poincaré Ball Operations (`poincare.rs`)
**Mathematical Foundation**: Implements all core operations in the Poincaré ball model of hyperbolic space.

**Key Functions**:
- `poincare_distance(u, v, c)` - Hyperbolic distance between points
- `mobius_add(u, v, c)` - Möbius addition in Poincaré ball
- `mobius_scalar_mult(r, v, c)` - Möbius scalar multiplication
- `exp_map(v, p, c)` - Exponential map: tangent space → hyperbolic space
- `log_map(y, p, c)` - Logarithmic map: hyperbolic space → tangent space
- `project_to_ball(x, c, eps)` - Projection ensuring points stay in ball
- `frechet_mean(points, weights, c, max_iter, tol)` - Weighted centroid in hyperbolic space

**Numerical Stability**:
- EPS = 1e-7 for stability near boundary
- Proper handling of curvature (always uses absolute value)
- Clamping for arctanh/atanh operations
- Gradient descent for Fréchet mean computation

### 2. Hyperbolic Attention (`hyperbolic_attention.rs`)
**Core Mechanism**: Attention in pure hyperbolic space using Poincaré distance.

**Configuration**:
```rust
pub struct HyperbolicAttentionConfig {
    pub dim: usize,                    // Embedding dimension
    pub curvature: f32,                // Negative curvature (-1.0 typical)
    pub adaptive_curvature: bool,      // Learn curvature
    pub temperature: f32,              // Softmax temperature
    pub frechet_max_iter: usize,       // Max iterations for aggregation
    pub frechet_tol: f32,              // Convergence tolerance
}
```

**Key Methods**:
- `compute_weights(query, keys)` - Uses negative Poincaré distance as similarity
- `aggregate(weights, values)` - Fréchet mean for value aggregation
- `compute(query, keys, values)` - Full attention computation
- `compute_with_mask(query, keys, values, mask)` - Masked attention

**Trait Implementation**: Implements `traits::Attention` with required methods:
- `compute()` - Standard attention
- `compute_with_mask()` - With optional boolean mask
- `dim()` - Returns embedding dimension
- `num_heads()` - Returns 1 (single-head)

### 3. Mixed-Curvature Attention (`mixed_curvature.rs`)
**Innovation**: Combines Euclidean and Hyperbolic geometries in a single attention mechanism.

**Configuration**:
```rust
pub struct MixedCurvatureConfig {
    pub euclidean_dim: usize,          // Euclidean component dimension
    pub hyperbolic_dim: usize,         // Hyperbolic component dimension
    pub curvature: f32,                // Hyperbolic curvature
    pub mixing_weight: f32,            // 0=Euclidean, 1=Hyperbolic
    pub temperature: f32,
    pub frechet_max_iter: usize,
    pub frechet_tol: f32,
}
```

**Architecture**:
1. **Split** embedding into Euclidean and Hyperbolic parts
2. **Compute** attention weights separately in each space:
   - Euclidean: dot product similarity
   - Hyperbolic: negative Poincaré distance
3. **Mix** weights using `mixing_weight` parameter
4. **Aggregate** values separately in each space:
   - Euclidean: weighted sum
   - Hyperbolic: Fréchet mean
5. **Combine** results back into single vector

**Use Cases**:
- Hierarchical data with symmetric features
- Knowledge graphs with ontologies
- Multi-modal embeddings

## Integration with Existing Codebase

### Library Exports (`lib.rs`)
Added hyperbolic module to public API:
```rust
pub mod hyperbolic;

pub use hyperbolic::{
    poincare_distance, mobius_add, exp_map, log_map, project_to_ball,
    HyperbolicAttention, HyperbolicAttentionConfig,
    MixedCurvatureAttention, MixedCurvatureConfig,
};
```

### Trait Compliance
Both attention mechanisms implement `crate::traits::Attention`:
- ✅ `compute(&self, query, keys, values) -> AttentionResult<Vec<f32>>`
- ✅ `compute_with_mask(&self, query, keys, values, mask) -> AttentionResult<Vec<f32>>`
- ✅ `dim(&self) -> usize`
- ✅ `num_heads(&self) -> usize`

### Error Handling
Uses existing `AttentionError` enum:
- `AttentionError::EmptyInput` for empty inputs
- `AttentionError::DimensionMismatch` for dimension conflicts
- Proper `AttentionResult<T>` return types

## Usage Examples

### Basic Hyperbolic Attention
```rust
use ruvector_attention::hyperbolic::{HyperbolicAttention, HyperbolicAttentionConfig};
use ruvector_attention::traits::Attention;

let config = HyperbolicAttentionConfig {
    dim: 64,
    curvature: -1.0,
    ..Default::default()
};

let attention = HyperbolicAttention::new(config);

let query = vec![0.1; 64];
let keys = vec![vec![0.2; 64], vec![0.3; 64]];
let values = vec![vec![1.0; 64], vec![0.5; 64]];

let keys_refs: Vec<&[f32]> = keys.iter().map(|k| k.as_slice()).collect();
let values_refs: Vec<&[f32]> = values.iter().map(|v| v.as_slice()).collect();

let output = attention.compute(&query, &keys_refs, &values_refs)?;
```

### Mixed-Curvature Attention
```rust
use ruvector_attention::hyperbolic::{MixedCurvatureAttention, MixedCurvatureConfig};

let config = MixedCurvatureConfig {
    euclidean_dim: 32,
    hyperbolic_dim: 32,
    curvature: -1.0,
    mixing_weight: 0.5,  // Equal mixing
    ..Default::default()
};

let attention = MixedCurvatureAttention::new(config);

let query = vec![0.1; 64];  // 32 Euclidean + 32 Hyperbolic
let keys = vec![vec![0.2; 64]];
let values = vec![vec![1.0; 64]];

let keys_refs: Vec<&[f32]> = keys.iter().map(|k| k.as_slice()).collect();
let values_refs: Vec<&[f32]> = values.iter().map(|v| v.as_slice()).collect();

let output = attention.compute(&query, &keys_refs, &values_refs)?;
```

## Mathematical Correctness

### Distance Formula
```
d_c(u,v) = (1/√c) * acosh(1 + 2c * ||u-v||² / ((1-c||u||²)(1-c||v||²)))
```

### Möbius Addition
```
u ⊕_c v = ((1+2c⟨u,v⟩+c||v||²)u + (1-c||u||²)v) / (1+2c⟨u,v⟩+c²||u||²||v||²)
```

### Exponential Map
```
exp_p(v) = p ⊕_c (tanh(√c * ||v||_p / 2) * v / (√c * ||v||_p))
```

### Logarithmic Map
```
log_p(y) = (2/√c * λ_p^c) * arctanh(√c * ||y ⊖_c p||) * (y ⊖_c p) / ||y ⊖_c p||
```
