Holographic Reservoir Computing Framework (Simulation + Optional ASIC Hardware)

A pure-Python reservoir computing framework built on a bipartite expander graph (the "Veselov layer") with a pluggable hardware backend. The default backend is a deterministic SHA-256 based simulation — no network, no ASIC, no external services. Optional AxeOS ASIC hardware is supported but strictly opt-in.

Install

pip install holographic-reservoir

Optional hardware extras:

pip install "holographic-reservoir[hardware]"

Quickstart (three commands, no hardware)

holographic-reservoir info
holographic-reservoir demo
holographic-reservoir benchmark --size 200 --n 1500

Programmatic use:

from holographic_reservoir import HolographicReservoirModel, mackey_glass

series = mackey_glass(n=1501, rng_seed=0)
u, y = series[:-1].reshape(-1, 1), series[1:]

model = HolographicReservoirModel(size=200, random_seed=0)
model.fit(u[:1000], y[:1000], washout=100)
mse = ((model.predict(u[1000:]) - y[1000:]) ** 2).mean()
print(f"MSE = {mse:.3e}")

Honest scope

• Hardware backend is optional. The default is a pure-Python simulation using deterministic SHA-256 entropy; it runs anywhere Python 3.10+ runs and needs only NumPy. The AxeOS backend is activated only when you pass --hardware axeos --endpoint IP:PORT and connects to a real miner only in that case.
• The paper in docs/papers/ is a research preprint, NOT a peer-reviewed IEEE publication. Treat it as an author preprint / technical report. No peer-review status should be inferred from its formatting.
• Research artefacts (legacy experiment scripts, HTML drafts, hardware telemetry reports) are preserved in archive/ and experiments/ for transparency and are not part of the v1.0 API.
