Overview

This document describes the integration between ruvector-scipix (OCR and LaTeX generation) and lean-agentic (actor-based agent orchestration framework). The integration enables:

• Distributed OCR Processing: Parallelize image processing across agent workers
• Pattern Learning: Learn from corrections to improve recognition accuracy
• Semantic Search: Find similar mathematical expressions using vector embeddings
• Fault Tolerance: Byzantine fault tolerance for critical OCR results
• Reference Capabilities: Type-safe message passing with iso/val/ref/tag
• 4-Tier JIT Compilation: Progressive optimization for hot paths

Key Benefits

Feature	Traditional OCR	Lean-Agentic OCR
Throughput	Single-threaded	Work-stealing parallelism
Accuracy	Static models	ReasoningBank learning
Fault Tolerance	None	Byzantine quorum
Memory	Per-process	Shared AgentDB vectors
Scalability	Vertical only	Horizontal sharding
Latency	Batch-based	Stream processing

Message-Passing Architecture

Lean-agentic uses actor model with reference capabilities for type-safe message passing:

// Reference capability types
pub enum Cap {
    Iso,  // Isolated (exclusive ownership)
    Val,  // Value (immutable shared)
    Ref,  // Reference (mutable shared)
    Tag,  // Opaque (identity only)
}

// OCR pipeline message flow
PreprocessAgent --[iso ImageData]-->  DetectionAgent
DetectionAgent  --[val BBoxes]-->     RecognitionAgent
RecognitionAgent --[ref LaTeXAst]-->  GenerationAgent
GenerationAgent --[tag ResultId]-->   ValidationAgent

Pipeline Stages

Each stage is an independent actor:

1. ImagePreprocessAgent (iso)

   • Receives exclusive ownership of raw image
   • Normalizes, denoise, enhance contrast
   • Passes cleaned image to detection

2. TextDetectionAgent (iso → val)

   • Consumes image, produces bounding boxes
   • Boxes are immutable, shareable
   • Multiple recognition agents can process in parallel

3. MathRecognitionAgent (val → ref)

   • Reads bounding boxes
   • Generates mutable LaTeX AST
   • Multiple agents can refine different parts

4. LaTeXGenerationAgent (ref → val)

   • Finalizes LaTeX string
   • Produces immutable result
   • Ready for validation

5. QualityValidationAgent (val → tag)

   • Validates syntax and semantics
   • Returns opaque result ID for storage
   • Triggers ReasoningBank update

Agent Types for OCR

1. ImagePreprocessAgent

Responsibility: Image normalization and enhancement

use lean_agentic::{Actor, spawn, Iso};

pub struct ImagePreprocessAgent {
    normalize_fn: fn(&mut Image) -> Result<()>,
    denoise_threshold: f32,
}

impl Actor for ImagePreprocessAgent {
    type Message = PreprocessMsg;

    async fn receive(&mut self, msg: Iso<PreprocessMsg>) {
        match msg.take() {
            PreprocessMsg::Process { image, reply_to } => {
                let mut img = image;

                // Normalize contrast
                (self.normalize_fn)(&mut img)?;

                // Denoise
                if self.denoise_threshold > 0.0 {
                    img.gaussian_blur(self.denoise_threshold);
                }

                // Binarize for text detection
                img.adaptive_threshold();

                // Send to next stage (transfer ownership)
                reply_to.send(Iso::new(img)).await;
            }
        }
    }
}

// Spawn agent
let preprocess = spawn::<ImagePreprocessAgent>(
    "preprocess-01",
    ImagePreprocessAgent::new()
);

use lean_agentic::{Actor, Val, signal};

pub struct TextDetectionAgent {
    model: DetectionModel,  // CRAFT or EAST

}

#[derive(Clone)]  // Val requires Clone
pub struct BoundingBoxes {
    boxes: Vec<BBox>,
    confidence: Vec<f32>,
    types: Vec<TextType>,  // Text vs Math
}

impl Actor for TextDetectionAgent {

                        .filter(|(_, &score)| score >= self.min_confidence)
                        .map(|(bbox, _)| bbox.clone())
                        .collect(),

                        .filter(|&&score| score >= self.min_confidence)
                        .cloned()
                        .collect(),
                    types: predictions.types.clone(),
                };

                // Broadcast to multiple recognition agents (Val = shareable)
                for agent in &self.recognition_agents {
                    signal(agent, Val::new(boxes.clone())).await;

                    self.beam_width
                );

                        .collect(),

Use Cases

1. Storing OCR Results with Embeddings

use lean_agentic::agentdb::{AgentDb, EmbeddingModel};

pub struct OcrMemory {
    db: AgentDb,
    embed_model: EmbeddingModel,
}

impl OcrMemory {
    pub async fn store_result(
        &self,
        latex: &str,
        bbox: BBox,
        confidence: f32,
        image_hash: &str,
    ) -> Result<u64> {
        // Generate embedding from LaTeX string
        let embedding = self.embed_model.encode(latex);

        // Metadata
        let metadata = json!({

            latex.to_string(),
            Some(metadata)
        ).await?;

        Ok(id)
    }

    pub async fn find_similar(
        &self,

2. Semantic Search for Similar Expressions

pub struct SemanticMathSearch {
    db: AgentDb,
    cache: LruCache<String, Vec<SearchResult>>,
}

impl SemanticMathSearch {
    /// Find mathematically equivalent expressions
    pub async fn find_equivalent(

        if let Some(cached) = self.cache.get(latex) {
            return Ok(cached.clone());
        }

        // Normalize LaTeX (e.g., "x^2" vs "x^{2}")
        let normalized = normalize_latex(latex);

        // Search for similar embeddings
        let similar = self.db.search(
            &self.embed(&normalized),
            50,  // Top 50
            None
        ).await?;

        // Group by semantic equivalence
        let mut equivalents = Vec::new();
        for (content, score) in similar {
            if is_mathematically_equivalent(&normalized, &content) {
                equivalents.push(EquivalentExpr {
                    latex: content,
                    similarity: score,
                    canonical_form: to_canonical(&content),
                });
            }
        }

        // Cache results
        self.cache.put(latex.to_string(), equivalents.clone());

        Ok(equivalents)
    }
}

3. Pattern Learning for Common Math Structures

use lean_agentic::agentdb::{PatternMiner, Pattern};

pub struct MathPatternLearner {
    db: AgentDb,
    miner: PatternMiner,
}

impl MathPatternLearner {
    /// Learn common patterns from stored LaTeX
    pub async fn mine_patterns(&self) -> Result<Vec<MathPattern>> {
        // Extract all stored LaTeX
        let all_latex = self.db.scan_all().await?;

Conclusion

Integrating lean-agentic with ruvector-scipix provides:

1. Actor-Based Pipeline: Each OCR stage is an independent agent with message-passing
2. AgentDB Memory: Vector-backed storage for semantic search and pattern caching
3. ReasoningBank Learning: Continuous improvement from user corrections
4. Distributed Processing: Horizontal scaling with work-stealing and sharding
5. Byzantine Fault Tolerance: Cryptographic guarantees for critical results
6. Reference Capabilities: Type-safe message passing (iso/val/ref/tag)
7. 4-Tier JIT: Progressive optimization for hot paths

This architecture transforms ruvector-scipix from a single-process OCR tool into a distributed, self-learning, fault-tolerant system capable of processing millions of mathematical expressions with high accuracy and throughput.
