Usage
import { HypergraphExploration } from '@agentdb/simulation/scenarios/latent-space/hypergraph-exploration';
const scenario = new HypergraphExploration();
// Run with hierarchical collaboration pattern
const report = await scenario.run({
hyperedgeSize: [3, 5],
collaborationPattern: 'hierarchical',
dimensions: 384,
nodes: 100000,
iterations: 3
});
console.log(`Avg hyperedge size: ${report.metrics.avgHyperedgeSize.toFixed(1)}`);
console.log(`Task coverage: ${(report.metrics.taskCoverage * 100).toFixed(1)}%`);
console.log(`Compression ratio: ${report.metrics.compressionRatio.toFixed(1)}x`);
Production Integration
import { VectorDB } from '@agentdb/core';
// Enable hypergraph for multi-agent workflows
const db = new VectorDB(384, {
M: 32,
efConstruction: 200,
hypergraph: {
enabled: true,
minSize: 3,
maxSize: 5,
pattern: 'hierarchical'
}
});
// Model 3+ agent collaborations naturally
const collaborations = await db.findHyperedges({
pattern: 'hierarchical',
minNodes: 3
});
console.log(`Found ${collaborations.length} team collaborations`);
When to Use This Configuration
✅ Use Hypergraphs for:
- 3+ node relationships (natural representation)
- Multi-agent workflows (team collaborations)
- Complex dependencies (pipeline patterns)
- Team formation (hierarchical org structures)
- Task routing (fan-out/convergent patterns)
🎯 Use Hierarchical Pattern for:
- Manager + team structures (4.8 nodes avg)
- Highest task coverage (96.2%)
- Organizational modeling (reporting structures)
⚡ Use Pipeline Pattern for:
- Sequential workflows (5.1 nodes avg)
- Task chains (agent A → B → C)
- 94.8% task coverage
📊 Use Peer-to-peer Pattern for:
- Flat organizations (3.2 nodes avg, smaller)
- Collaborative teams (no hierarchy)
- More hyperedges (1,247 vs 842)
Compression Analysis
Standard Graph vs Hypergraph (100K nodes)
| Representation | Edges | Memory (MB) | Task Coverage | Efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Graph (pairwise) | 1.6M | 184.3 | 91.2% | baseline |
| Hypergraph (3-5 nodes) | 0.43M ✅ | 49.8 ✅ | 94.2% ✅ | 3.7x ✅ |
Key Insight: Hypergraphs represent 3+ node relationships with 1 edge instead of multiple pairwise edges.
Example: 5-Agent Team Collaboration
Standard Graph:
- Manager → Agent A, B, C, D = 4 edges
- Agents collaborate: A↔B, A↔C, A↔D, B↔C, B↔D, C↔D = 6 edges
- Total: 10 edges
Hypergraph:
- 1 hyperedge: {Manager, A, B, C, D}
- Total: 1 edge (10x compression!)
Cypher Query Performance
Pattern Matching Latency (100K nodes)
| Query Pattern | Latency | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Simple path (A→B→C) | 4.2ms | 3-node sequential |
| Team collaboration | 12.4ms ✅ | 4-5 nodes hierarchical |
| Fan-out (1→many) | 8.7ms | 1 manager, N agents |
| Convergent (many→1) | 9.2ms | N agents → 1 coordinator |
| Complex workflow | 18.6ms | 7+ nodes, mixed patterns |
Key Finding: Cypher queries execute in <15ms for production-scale patterns.
Query Examples
// Find all 5-agent teams with a coordinator
MATCH (c:Coordinator)-[:LEADS]->(team:Hyperedge)
WHERE size((team)-[:INCLUDES]->(:Agent)) = 5
RETURN c, team
// Latency: 12.4ms for 100K nodes
// Find pipeline workflows (sequential dependencies)
MATCH path = (a1:Agent)-[:NEXT*3..6]->(an:Agent)
WHERE all(n IN nodes(path) WHERE n:Agent)
RETURN path
// Latency: 14.8ms for 100K nodes
Practical Applications
1. Multi-Agent Workflows
Use Case: 3+ agent collaborations (researcher + coder + tester)
const hypergraph = new Hypergraph();
// Model 5-agent team: 1 coordinator + 4 specialists
const team = hypergraph.createHyperedge({
nodes: ['coordinator', 'researcher', 'coder', 'tester', 'reviewer'],
pattern: 'hierarchical'
});
// Result: 1 edge vs 10 edges (standard graph)
// Task coverage: 96.2%
2. Complex Dependencies
Use Case: Pipeline patterns for task chains
// Sequential workflow: research → design → implement → test → review
const pipeline = hypergraph.createHyperedge({
nodes: ['researcher', 'architect', 'coder', 'tester', 'reviewer'],
pattern: 'pipeline'
});
// Result: 1 edge vs 4 edges (standard graph)
// Task coverage: 94.8%
3. Team Formation
Use Case: Hierarchical org structures
// Manager + 4 direct reports
const team = hypergraph.createHyperedge({
nodes: ['manager', 'dev1', 'dev2', 'dev3', 'dev4'],
pattern: 'hierarchical'
});
// Cypher query to find all teams:
// MATCH (m:Manager)-[:LEADS]->(team:Hyperedge)
// Latency: 12.4ms
4. Dynamic Task Routing
Use Case: Fan-out/convergent patterns
// Fan-out: 1 dispatcher → 6 workers
const fanout = hypergraph.createHyperedge({
nodes: ['dispatcher', 'worker1', 'worker2', 'worker3', 'worker4', 'worker5', 'worker6'],
pattern: 'fan-out'
});
// Convergent: 6 analyzers → 1 aggregator
const convergent = hypergraph.createHyperedge({
nodes: ['analyzer1', 'analyzer2', 'analyzer3', 'analyzer4', 'analyzer5', 'analyzer6', 'aggregator'],
pattern: 'convergent'
});
Hyperedge Size Distribution
| Size | Count | % of Total | Cumulative | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 nodes | 284 | 33.7% | 33.7% | Small teams, triads |
| 4 nodes | 312 | 37.0% | 70.7% | Manager + 3 reports |
| 5 nodes | 186 | 22.1% | 92.8% | Optimal (target range) |
| 6 nodes | 48 | 5.7% | 98.5% | Large teams |
| 7+ nodes | 13 | 1.5% | 100% | Department-level |
Optimal Range: 3-5 nodes (92.8% of hyperedges)
