🎯 Core Concept

Phase-shift the Poincaré ball using geometric transformations to create passive variability and automated defense.

Like adding a “rhythmic offset” or arrhythmic perturbation to the hyperbolic manifold, inspired by:

• Wave phase mechanics
• Magnetic field lines
• A/B testing with geometric variations
• Superimposed spheres (Venn diagram topology)

Key Insight: Instead of distance-based security, use field-based (fold-based) phase shifts at peripheral regions to create oscillating defense boundaries.

📐 Mathematical Foundation

1. Phase-Modulated Hyperbolic Metric

Standard Poincaré Ball Metric:

d_ℍ(p₁, p₂) = arcosh(1 + 2||p₁-p₂||² / ((1-||p₁||²)(1-||p₂||²)))

Phase-Extended Metric:

d_φ(p₁, p₂) = d_ℍ(p₁, p₂) + φ · sin(θ · r)

where:
- φ = phase amplitude (modulation strength)
- θ = angular frequency (oscillation rate)
- r = radial distance from origin

Key Property: Near boundary (r ≈ 1), the sin term oscillates, creating “magnetic-like folds” that perturb trajectories passively.

---

2. Fold-Based Phase Function

Hyperbolic Fold Count:

fold(r) = log(1 / (1 - r))

As r → 1 (boundary), fold(r) → ∞

Phase Shift Function:

φ(r) = κ · sin(ω · fold(r))

where:
- κ = phase amplitude constant
- ω = angular frequency (typically π/4)
- fold(r) = hyperbolic fold count

Geometric Interpretation: The manifold “breathes” arrhythmically at the boundary, creating oscillating repulsion zones.

---

3. Möbius Transformation for Phase Rotation

Complex Plane Representation (2D proxy):

z → e^(iφ) · z

Extends to nD via gyrovector addition:
p ⊕_φ q = ((1+2⟨p,q⟩+||q||²)p + (1-||p||²)q) / (1+2⟨p,q⟩+||p||²||q||²)

Phase-Rotated Ball:

Ball_φ = {R_φ(p) : p ∈ Ball₀}

where R_φ is Möbius rotation by phase φ

---

🔄 Superimposed Balls (Venn Diagram Topology)

Multi-Manifold Pattern

Concept: Superimpose multiple Poincaré balls with different phase offsets, creating overlapping regions like a Venn diagram.

Mathematical Structure:

System = Ball_A ∪ Ball_B ∪ Ball_C ∪ ...

where:
- Ball_A: Standard (φ = 0)
- Ball_B: Phase-shifted (φ = π/4)
- Ball_C: Phase-shifted (φ = -π/4)
- ...

Overlap Regions:

• Intersection (Ball_A ∩ Ball_B): Strict coherence (both metrics agree)
• Union (Ball_A ∪ Ball_B): Fuzzy boundaries (experimental zone)
• Symmetric Difference (Ball_A △ Ball_B): Maximum variability

Defensive Property: Adversaries face varying curvatures in overlap zones, creating confusion and increased work factor.

---

Pattern Replication (A/B Testing Analogy)

Exponential Propagation:

Small phase variation δφ in one ball replicates exponentially across pattern

Due to hyperbolic expansion:
Vol(B_r) ~ e^((n-1)r)

A δφ shift at r=0.5 becomes Δφ ~ e^(5·0.5) ≈ 12× at r=1

Use Case: Test security variant B with φ=π/4 shift, observe stability, scale to whole system if successful.

🛡️ Defensive Automation

1. Arrhythmic Phase Shifts at Peripheral Distances

Thin Membrane Flux with Phase Modulation:

def thin_membrane_flux_phase(c, epsilon=0.01, phase_amp=0.1):
    """
    Flux through thin membrane with phase-induced oscillations.

    Args:
        c: Context vector in Poincaré ball
        epsilon: Membrane thickness
        phase_amp: Phase modulation amplitude

    Returns:
        Flux value (positive = inward, negative = outward)
    """
    r = np.linalg.norm(c)

    # Only compute flux near boundary
    if abs(r - 1) > epsilon:
        return 0

    # Normal vector (radial direction)
    normal = c / r

    # Velocity vector (random perturbation)
    v = np.random.uniform(-1, 1, len(c))

    # Base flux (dot product)
    base_flux = np.dot(v, normal)

    # Phase shift (fold-based oscillation)
    phase_shift = phase_amp * np.sin(np.pi/4 * np.log(1 / (1 - r)))

    # Combined flux
    flux = base_flux + phase_shift

    # Amplify outward flux (repulsion)
    if flux < 0:
        flux *= -PHI * (1 - r)  # Golden ratio amplification

    return flux

Key Property: Phase oscillations create “magnetic repulsion” at boundary, passively repelling anomalies without active compute.

---

2. Field-Based (Not Distance-Based) Defense

Traditional Approach (distance-based):

Security = f(distance_to_origin)

Problem: Predictable, can be gamed

Phase-Shift Approach (field-based):

Security = f(fold_count, phase_offset, curvature)

Advantage: Arrhythmic, unpredictable oscillations

Magnetic Field Analogy:

• Field lines = Hyperbolic folds (geodesics)
• Phase shift = Magnetic flux modulation
• Repulsion = Lorentz force analog (perpendicular to field)

---

3. Passive Variable Expression

More Variables Without Active Compute:

Phase offsets allow “A/B-like” replication of subsystems:

• Shift one Space Tor path by φ
• Shift another by -φ
• Observe which survives adversarial attack

Combat Automation:

• Jammed nodes trigger phase-realigned paths
• Like magnetic self-correction (field lines reconnect)
• No central controller needed (passive geometry)

🔗 Integration with SCBE Layers

Layer 5: Invariant Metric (Extended)

Original:

d_ℍ(u,v) = arcosh(1 + 2||u-v||² / ((1-||u||²)(1-||v||²)))

Phase-Extended:

d_φ(u,v) = d_ℍ(u,v) + φ(||u||) · sin(θ · fold(||u||))

Property: Metric still satisfies triangle inequality (phase term is bounded).

---

Layer 6: Breath Transform (Enhanced)

Original:

B(p,t) = tanh(||p|| + A·sin(ωt)) · p/||p||

Phase-Enhanced:

B_φ(p,t) = tanh(||p|| + A·sin(ωt) + φ·sin(θ·fold(||p||))) · p/||p||

Property: Breathing now has arrhythmic component (fold-based phase).

---

Layer 9: Spectral Coherence (Phase-Aware)

Phase-Modulated Spectral Score:

S_spec_φ = (E_low + φ·E_phase) / (E_total + ε)

where E_phase = energy in phase-shifted frequency bands

Use Case: Detect adversaries by phase incoherence (they can’t match oscillating frequencies).

---

Layer 13: Decision Gate (Phase-Triggered)

Phase-Aware Decision:

if S_total > τ_allow and phase_coherent(c):
    return ALLOW
elif S_total < τ_deny or phase_incoherent(c):
    return DENY
else:
    return QUARANTINE

New Function:

def phase_coherent(c, threshold=0.9):
    """Check if context vector has coherent phase across dimensions."""
    phases = np.angle(fft(c))  # FFT phase spectrum
    coherence = np.abs(np.mean(np.exp(1j * phases)))
    return coherence > threshold
