Overview

rUv Neural is a modular Rust crate ecosystem for real-time brain network topology analysis. It transforms neural magnetic field measurements from quantum sensors (NV diamond magnetometers, optically pumped magnetometers) into dynamic connectivity graphs, then uses minimum cut algorithms to detect cognitive state transitions.

This is not mind reading — it measures how cognition organizes itself by tracking the topology of brain networks in real time.

Assembly Instructions

1. Sensor Array

   • Mount NV diamond chips (or OPM vapor cells, or EEG electrodes) in the 3D-printed helmet/mount
   • For NV: align 532nm laser to each chip, position photodiodes for fluorescence collection
   • For OPM: install Rb cells inside mu-metal shield, align 795nm VCSELs
   • For EEG: apply conductive gel, place electrodes per 10-20 system

2. Signal Chain

   • Connect sensor outputs to ADS1256 (NV/OPM) or ADS1299 (EEG) ADC boards
   • Wire ADC SPI bus to ESP32-S3 GPIO (MOSI=11, MISO=13, SCK=12, CS=10)
   • Flash ESP32 with ruv-neural-esp32 firmware: cargo flash --chip esp32s3

3. TDM Synchronization

   • Connect GPIO 4 across all ESP32 nodes as a shared sync line
   • The TdmScheduler assigns non-overlapping time slots automatically
   • Set sync_tolerance_us: 1000 in the aggregator config

4. Host Software

   • Install Rust 1.75+ and build: cargo build --workspace --release
   • Run the pipeline: cargo run -p ruv-neural-cli --release -- pipeline --channels 16 --duration 60
   • Or use individual crates as a library (see Use as Library)

5. Verification

   • Generate a witness bundle: cargo run -p ruv-neural-cli -- witness --output witness.json
   • Verify Ed25519 signature: cargo run -p ruv-neural-cli -- witness --verify witness.json
   • Expected output: VERDICT: PASS (41 capability attestations, 338 tests)

Mix and Match

Each crate is independently usable. Common combinations:

• Sensor + Signal -- Data acquisition and preprocessing only
• Graph + Mincut -- Graph analysis without sensor dependency
• Embed + Memory -- Embedding storage without real-time pipeline
• Core + WASM -- Browser-based graph visualization
• ESP32 alone -- Edge preprocessing on embedded hardware
• Signal + Embed -- Feature extraction pipeline without graph construction
• Mincut + Viz -- Topology analysis with ASCII dashboard output

Platform Support

Platform	Status	Crates Available
Linux x86_64	Full	All 12
macOS ARM64	Full	All 12
Windows x86_64	Full	All 12
WASM (browser)	Partial	core, wasm, viz
ESP32 (no_std)	Partial	core, esp32

Note: The ruv-neural-wasm crate is excluded from the default workspace members. Build it separately with:

Key Algorithms

Signal Processing (ruv-neural-signal)

• Butterworth IIR filters in second-order sections (SOS) form
• Welch PSD estimation with configurable window and overlap
• Hilbert transform for instantaneous phase extraction
• Artifact detection -- eye blink, muscle, cardiac artifact rejection
• Connectivity metrics -- PLV, coherence, imaginary coherence, AEC

Minimum Cut Analysis (ruv-neural-mincut)

• Stoer-Wagner -- Global minimum cut in O(V^3)
• Normalized cut (Shi-Malik) -- Spectral bisection via the Fiedler vector
• Multiway cut -- Recursive normalized cut for k-module detection
• Spectral cut -- Cheeger constant and spectral bisection bounds
• Dynamic tracking -- Temporal topology transition detection
• Coherence events -- Network formation, dissolution, merger, split

Embeddings (ruv-neural-embed)

• Spectral -- Laplacian eigenvector positional encoding
• Topology -- Hand-crafted topological feature vectors
• Node2Vec -- Random-walk co-occurrence embeddings
• Combined -- Weighted concatenation of multiple methods
• Temporal -- Sliding-window context-enriched embeddings
• RVF export -- Serialization to RuVector .rvf format

RVF Format

RuVector File (RVF) is a binary format for neural data interchange:

+--------+--------+---------+----------+----------+
| Magic  | Version| Type    | Payload  | Checksum |
| RVF\x01| u8     | u8      | [u8; N]  | u32      |
+--------+--------+---------+----------+----------+

• Magic bytes: RVF\x01
• Supported types: brain graphs, embeddings, topology metrics, time series
• Binary format for efficient storage and streaming
• Compatible with the broader RuVector ecosystem

Cryptographic Witness Verification

rUv Neural includes an Ed25519-signed capability attestation system. Every build can generate a witness bundle that cryptographically proves which capabilities are present and that all tests passed.

# Generate a signed witness bundle
cargo run -p ruv-neural-cli -- witness --output witness-bundle.json

# Verify (any third party can do this)
cargo run -p ruv-neural-cli -- witness --verify witness-bundle.json

The bundle contains:

• 41 capability attestations covering all 12 crates
• SHA-256 digest of the capability matrix
• Ed25519 signature (unique per generation)
• Public key for independent verification
• Test count and pass/fail status

Tampered bundles are detected — modifying any attestation invalidates the digest and signature verification returns FAIL.

Testing

# Run all workspace tests
cargo test --workspace

# Run a specific crate's tests
cargo test -p ruv-neural-mincut

# Run with logging enabled
RUST_LOG=debug cargo test --workspace -- --nocapture

# Run benchmarks (requires nightly or criterion)
cargo bench -p ruv-neural-mincut
