Quantum Entanglement in Memetic Computing

Understanding quantum-inspired correlation networks and non-local connections between memes.

Overview

Q-Memetic AI leverages quantum-inspired principles to create correlation networks between memes that exhibit properties analogous to quantum entanglement. This allows for rapid propagation of changes and emergent behaviors across the memetic landscape.

Theoretical Foundation

Quantum Entanglement Analogy

In quantum mechanics, entangled particles remain instantaneously correlated regardless of distance. Similarly, entangled memes in our system maintain semantic and contextual correlations that enable:

• Instant correlation updates: Changes to one meme immediately affect its entangled partners
• Non-local semantic relationships: Memes can influence each other across different domains
• Emergent network behaviors: The entanglement network exhibits properties greater than its parts

Mathematical Framework

The entanglement strength between two memes is calculated using:

\[ E(m_1, m_2) = \alpha \cdot S(m_1, m_2) + \beta \cdot C(m_1, m_2) + \gamma \cdot T(m_1, m_2) \]

Where:

• S(m₁, m₂) = Semantic similarity score
• C(m₁, m₂) = Contextual overlap coefficient
• T(m₁, m₂) = Temporal correlation factor
• α, β, γ = Weighting parameters

Entanglement Operations

Creating Entanglement Networks

from qmemetic_ai.core.entanglement import QuantumEntangler

# Initialize entangler
entangler = QuantumEntangler(
    correlation_threshold=0.7,
    max_entanglement_degree=5,
    decay_rate=0.95
)

# Create memes
meme1 = engine.create_meme("Quantum computing applications")
meme2 = engine.create_meme("Parallel processing algorithms")
meme3 = engine.create_meme("Distributed computation frameworks")

# Establish entanglement network
network = entangler.entangle_memes([meme1, meme2, meme3])
print(f"Created network with {len(network.edges)} entanglement bonds")

Measuring Entanglement Strength

# Calculate entanglement between specific memes
strength = entangler.measure_entanglement(meme1, meme2)
print(f"Entanglement strength: {strength:.3f}")

# Get all entangled partners for a meme
partners = entangler.get_entangled_memes(meme1)
for partner, strength in partners:
    print(f"Partner: {partner.content[:50]}... (strength: {strength:.3f})")

Entanglement Evolution

# Evolve the entanglement network
evolved_network = entangler.evolve_network(
    generations=10,
    mutation_rate=0.1,
    selection_pressure=0.8
)

# Analyze network properties
properties = evolved_network.analyze_properties()
print(f"Network density: {properties['density']:.3f}")
print(f"Average clustering: {properties['clustering']:.3f}")
print(f"Small-world coefficient: {properties['small_world']:.3f}")

Network Topology

Scale-Free Networks

The entanglement system naturally develops scale-free characteristics where:

• Most memes have few entanglements
• A small number of "hub" memes have many connections
• Network exhibits high fault tolerance

# Identify hub memes
hubs = entangler.identify_hubs(min_degree=10)
for hub in hubs:
    degree = entangler.get_degree(hub)
    print(f"Hub meme: {hub.content[:30]}... (degree: {degree})")

Small-World Properties

Entanglement networks exhibit small-world characteristics:

• High local clustering
• Short average path lengths
• Efficient information propagation

# Calculate small-world metrics
metrics = entangler.calculate_small_world_metrics()
print(f"Characteristic path length: {metrics['path_length']:.2f}")
print(f"Clustering coefficient: {metrics['clustering']:.3f}")
print(f"Small-world-ness: {metrics['sigma']:.3f}")

Entanglement Dynamics

Correlation Propagation

When an entangled meme changes, effects propagate through the network:

# Modify a meme and observe propagation
original_content = meme1.content
meme1.content = "Advanced quantum computing applications in cryptography"

# Propagate changes through entanglement network
propagation_results = entangler.propagate_changes(meme1)
print(f"Changes propagated to {len(propagation_results)} entangled memes")

for affected_meme, correlation_change in propagation_results:
    print(f"Meme affected: {affected_meme.meme_id}")
    print(f"Correlation change: {correlation_change:.3f}")

Decoherence and Stability

Entanglement networks naturally experience decoherence over time:

# Simulate decoherence
decoherence_results = entangler.simulate_decoherence(
    time_steps=100,
    noise_level=0.05
)

# Analyze stability
stability_metrics = entangler.analyze_stability(decoherence_results)
print(f"Network half-life: {stability_metrics['half_life']:.1f} time steps")
print(f"Critical threshold: {stability_metrics['critical_threshold']:.3f}")

Applications

Semantic Search Enhancement

Entanglement networks improve semantic search by finding related concepts:

# Enhanced semantic search using entanglement
query = "machine learning optimization"
search_results = entangler.entanglement_search(
    query=query,
    max_results=10,
    include_entangled=True
)

for result in search_results:
    print(f"Result: {result.content[:50]}...")
    print(f"Relevance: {result.relevance_score:.3f}")
    print(f"Entanglement path: {result.entanglement_path}")

Knowledge Discovery

Identify unexpected connections and emergent patterns:

# Discover emergent connections
emergent_connections = entangler.discover_emergent_patterns(
    min_strength=0.5,
    surprise_threshold=0.8
)

for connection in emergent_connections:
    print(f"Unexpected connection discovered:")
    print(f"  Meme A: {connection.meme_a.content[:40]}...")
    print(f"  Meme B: {connection.meme_b.content[:40]}...")
    print(f"  Surprise factor: {connection.surprise_factor:.3f}")

Collective Intelligence

Harness network effects for enhanced problem-solving:

# Use entanglement for collective reasoning
problem = "Optimize energy efficiency in data centers"
collective_solution = entangler.collective_reasoning(
    problem=problem,
    max_iterations=20,
    convergence_threshold=0.95
)

print(f"Collective solution quality: {collective_solution.quality:.3f}")
print(f"Contributing memes: {len(collective_solution.contributors)}")
print(f"Solution: {collective_solution.content}")

Advanced Features

Quantum-Inspired Algorithms

Entanglement Swapping

Transfer entanglement between memes indirectly:

# Entanglement swapping protocol
success = entangler.entanglement_swapping(
    meme_a=meme1,
    mediator=meme2,
    meme_c=meme3
)

if success:
    print("Entanglement successfully swapped")
    new_strength = entangler.measure_entanglement(meme1, meme3)
    print(f"New entanglement strength: {new_strength:.3f}")

Quantum Teleportation Analogy

Transfer meme properties through entanglement:

# Transfer semantic properties
source_meme = engine.create_meme("Source concept with rich semantics")
target_meme = engine.create_meme("Target concept")

# Perform "teleportation" of semantic properties
teleportation_result = entangler.semantic_teleportation(
    source=source_meme,
    target=target_meme,
    properties=["emotional_valence", "complexity", "novelty"]
)

print(f"Teleportation fidelity: {teleportation_result.fidelity:.3f}")
print(f"Modified target: {target_meme.content}")

Entanglement Purification

Improve entanglement quality through purification protocols:

# Purify weak entanglements
weak_pairs = entangler.find_weak_entanglements(threshold=0.3)
purified_pairs = entangler.purification_protocol(weak_pairs)

print(f"Purified {len(purified_pairs)} entanglement pairs")
for pair in purified_pairs:
    original_strength = pair.original_strength
    purified_strength = pair.purified_strength
    improvement = purified_strength - original_strength
    print(f"Improvement: {improvement:.3f}")

Performance Considerations

    batch_size=1000,
    parallel_processing=True,
    memory_optimization=True,
    approximate_calculations=True
)

hierarchical_network = entangler.create_hierarchical_network(
    levels=3,
    cluster_size=50
)

Memory Management

# Optimize memory usage
entangler.optimize_memory(
    prune_weak_connections=True,
    threshold=0.1,

)

# Monitor memory usage
memory_stats = entangler.get_memory_stats()
print(f"Network memory usage: {memory_stats['total_mb']:.1f} MB")
print(f"Active entanglements: {memory_stats['active_count']}")

print(f"Overall network quality: {quality_report.overall_score:.3f}")
print(f"Semantic coherence: {quality_report.semantic_coherence:.3f}")
print(f"Structural integrity: {quality_report.structural_integrity:.3f}")
print(f"Dynamic stability: {quality_report.dynamic_stability:.3f}")

)

for size, results in benchmark_results.items():
    print(f"Network size: {size}")
