Local Compositionality Gadget

ERGODIC local update step gadget via Blume-Capel dynamics with GF(3) conservation.

Trit: 0 (ERGODIC)

This gadget serves as the neutral coordinator in triadic systems.

Core Concept

Combines:

1. Blume-Capel dynamics for spin-1 {-1, 0, +1} state transitions
2. Three-Gadget rewriting (RED/BLUE/GREEN) from

   crdt_egraph

3. ERGODIC update as the neutral coordinator role

GF(3) Conservation by Construction

Key Insight: Trits are generated in triplets that algebraically sum to zero.

Given two random trits t₁, t₂, the third is computed as:

t₃ = -(t₁ + t₂) mod 3

This guarantees:

t₁ + t₂ + t₃ ≡ 0 (mod 3)

Gadget Patterns

a ⊕ (b ⊕ c) → (a ⊕ b) ⊕ c

a ≡ a

(a ⊕ b) ⊕ c → a ⊕ (b ⊕ c)

4-Phase Saturation

1. Backfill (step mod 4 = 0) - BLUE gadgets decompose structure
2. Verify (step mod 4 = 1) - GREEN identity rules for verification
3. Live (step mod 4 = 2) - RED associative rules to compose
4. Reconcile (step mod 4 = 3) - Final GF(3) conservation check

Usage

# Run 9 local update steps with seed 0x42D (1069 decimal)
bb scripts/local_compositionality_gadget.bb --seed 1069 --steps 9

# Run with hex seed
bb scripts/local_compositionality_gadget.bb --seed 0x42D --steps 9

# Run 27 steps (9 complete triplets)
bb scripts/local_compositionality_gadget.bb --seed 12345 --steps 27

GF(3) Conservation Guarantee

ALWAYS conserved:

∑ gadget_trits ≡ 0 (mod 3)

Enforced by triplet structure: For every 3 steps, sum = 0.

When steps isn't a multiple of 3, the partial triplet still sums to 0 (mod 3) because each complete triplet contributes 0 to the running sum.
