Core Modules

Memory System

The memory system provides a multi-tiered architecture for storing different types of information:

from mrce.core.memory import Memory

# Initialize memory system
memory = Memory(vector_dim=1024)

# Store experience in episodic memory
memory.episodic.add(observation, embedding)

# Store concept in semantic memory
memory.semantic.add_node("concept", {"attributes": {...}})

# Store procedure
memory.procedural.store("action_sequence", [action1, action2])

Cognitive Loops

The three cognitive loops provide different levels of processing:

from mrce.core.inner_loop import InnerLoop
from mrce.core.middle_loop import MiddleLoop
from mrce.core.outer_loop import OuterLoop

# Initialize loops
inner = InnerLoop(memory)
middle = MiddleLoop(memory, inner)
outer = OuterLoop(memory, middle)

# Process input through the hierarchy
result = inner.process(observation)
reflection = middle.reflect(result)
redesign = outer.evaluate(reflection)

Production Features

IGVAM Module

The IGVAM module ensures alignment with specified goals and values:

from mrce.core.igvam import IGVAM

# Initialize IGVAM
igvam = IGVAM(goals, values)

# Filter actions
valid_actions = igvam.filter_actions(proposed_actions)

# Check compliance
compliance_score = igvam.measure_compliance(action)

Distributed Consistency

from mrce.production.consensus import RaftProtocol, TransactionManager

# Initialize consensus protocol
raft = RaftProtocol(node_id, nodes)

# Create transaction
with TransactionManager(memory) as tx:
    # Perform operations atomically
    tx.episodic.add(observation, embedding)
    tx.semantic.add_relation("A", "B", "causes")

Security Governance

from mrce.production.security_governance import CausalIntegrityWatchdog, AuditTrail

# Initialize security components

audit = AuditTrail()

# Validate changes
is_valid, details = watchdog.validate(proposed_change, current_state)

# Record audit event
audit.record_event("system_modification", {
    "component": "memory",
    "change": "schema_update"

from mrce.production.performance_optimization import OptimizedDataFlow, ResourceMonitor

# Initialize performance components
data_flow = OptimizedDataFlow()
monitor = ResourceMonitor()

# Register resources
data_flow.register_resource("memory", max_allocation=8000)

# Submit operation with priority
operation_id, completion = data_flow.submit_operation(
    operation_fn=process_task,
    resources={"memory": 1000, "cpu": 2},
    priority=10
)

Production Monitoring

from mrce.production.logging_metrics import LoggingFramework, MetricsCollector
from mrce.production.production_monitoring import DistributedTracer

# Initialize monitoring components
logger = LoggingFramework("mrce", "memory_service")
metrics = MetricsCollector("mrce")
tracer = DistributedTracer("memory_service", logger)

# Log events with context
logger.info("Processing request", {"request_id": req_id})

# Record metrics
metrics.gauge("memory_usage", memory_mb, {"service": "memory"})
metrics.counter("requests_processed")

# Distributed tracing
with tracer.start_trace("process_request") as span:
    # Add events
    tracer.add_event("starting_processing", {"request_id": req_id})
