CIv6-SBD Solution Proposal: Geometric-Topological Structural Break Detection

🚧 Updated Implementation Plan (Aligned with ADIA Challenge + Topological Reasoning Engine)

🧠 Overview

This solution expands the original proposal by integrating concrete code from a working topological reasoning notebook. It aligns directly with the ADIA Lab Structural Break Detection challenge and operationalizes the CIv6 hypothesis through latent geometry and attention topology.


1. Preprocessing and ECA Encoding

Input

  • X_train: Pandas DataFrame, indexed by id, with value and period columns.
  • y_train: Boolean labels indicating structural breaks.
  • X_test: List of test DataFrames.

Transformation Pipeline

  1. Symbolic Encoding

    • Convert each time series segment (pre/post boundary) into symbolic binary strings.
    • Use delta-sign encoding or permutation-based symbolic embedding.
  2. ECA Evolution

    • Apply Elementary Cellular Automata (e.g. Rule 110) to each binary sequence.
    • Run for 32–64 time steps.
    • Flatten 2D evolution into token-like input strings.
# Example: run_eca function
RULE_MAPS = {
    110: {f"{i:03b}": b for i, b in enumerate(f"{110:08b}"[::-1])}
}

def run_eca(initial_bits, rule=110, steps=32):
    rule_map = RULE_MAPS[rule]
    current = ''.join(initial_bits)
    history = [current]
    for _ in range(steps):
        padded = '0' + current + '0'
        next_state = ''.join(rule_map[padded[i:i+3]] for i in range(len(current)))
        history.append(next_state)
        current = next_state
    return history

2. Model: Topological Attention Analyzer

Model Architecture

  • Use a Transformer model capable of outputting attentions and hidden embeddings.

    • Pretrained options: GPT-2, Qwen2.5, or TransformerECA (if symbolically trained).

Core Modules

  1. Semantic Loop Monitor
def extract_cycles_and_log_wilson(head_idx, attn_matrix, tokens, threshold=0.05):
    import networkx as nx
    import numpy as np
    A = attn_matrix[head_idx].cpu().numpy()
    idx = {t: i for i, t in enumerate(tokens)}
    G = nx.DiGraph()
    for i in range(len(tokens)):
        for j in range(len(tokens)):
            if A[i, j] > threshold:
                G.add_edge(tokens[i], tokens[j], weight=A[i, j])
    cycles = [c for c in nx.simple_cycles(G) if 3 <= len(c) <= 6]

    def log_wilson_loop(cycle):
        return sum(np.log(A[idx[s], idx[t]] + 1e-12) for s, t in zip(cycle, cycle[1:] + cycle[:1]))

    return [(cycle, log_wilson_loop(cycle)) for cycle in cycles]
  1. Holonomy Analyzer
def compute_holonomy_spectrum(cycle, Q, K, token_idx):
    import torch, numpy as np
    H = torch.eye(Q.shape[-1])
    for s, t in zip(cycle, cycle[1:] + cycle[:1]):
        i, j = token_idx[s], token_idx[t]
        qi = Q[i].unsqueeze(1)
        kj = K[j].unsqueeze(0)
        transport = qi @ kj
        H = transport @ H
    eigvals = torch.linalg.eigvals(H).cpu().numpy()
    return eigvals
  1. Topological Divergence Detector

    • Compare:

      • Loop energy stats (mean, max, count)
      • Eigenvalue spectrum: dispersion, real-imag range
      • Use statistical distance (e.g., cosine/Mahalanobis) to assess change
  2. Entropy Divergence Tracker

    • Use attention matrices to compute entropy per token:
def compute_attention_entropy(attn_matrix):
    import scipy.stats
    entropy_per_head = []
    for head_attn in attn_matrix:
        probs = head_attn / head_attn.sum(axis=-1, keepdims=True)
        entropy = scipy.stats.entropy(probs, axis=-1)
        entropy_per_head.append(entropy.mean())
    return entropy_per_head

3. Detection Logic

Break Score Computation

  • Define break score as:

    • Drop in mean loop energy
    • Spectral divergence (eigenvalue distance)
    • Entropy jump or FIM curvature collapse
  • Can be a trained classifier or a rule-based scoring function.

Output

  • ROC-AUC compatible structural break scores ∈ [0, 1]

4. Evaluation Protocol (ADIA-Aligned)

  1. Apply the full pipeline to each training ID.
  2. Extract topological metrics pre/post.
  3. Train a shallow classifier or compute thresholded break score.
  4. Use y_train for supervised evaluation.
  5. Apply trained detector to X_test (submission-ready).
