🔧 Technical Achievements

1. Controller API Migration (ReflexionMemory)

Problem: Controllers used SQLite APIs (db.prepare()) incompatible with GraphDatabase

Solution: Implemented GraphDatabaseAdapter detection and specialized methods

Changes:

  • Added GraphDatabaseAdapter import
  • Implemented storeEpisode() detection: 'storeEpisode' in this.graphBackend
  • Implemented searchSimilarEpisodes() for vector similarity
  • Maintained backward compatibility with SQLite

Code:

// GraphDatabaseAdapter detection
if (this.graphBackend && 'storeEpisode' in this.graphBackend) {
  const graphAdapter = this.graphBackend as any as GraphDatabaseAdapter;
  const nodeId = await graphAdapter.storeEpisode({
    sessionId,
    task,
    reward,
    success,
    // ...
  }, taskEmbedding);
}

Result: reflexion-learning scenario now 100% operational

2. Exotic Domain Modeling

Voting System Complexity:

  • 5-dimensional ideology space (economic, social, environmental, foreign, governance)
  • Euclidean distance for preference calculation
  • Iterative elimination in ranked-choice algorithm
  • Coalition detection via clustering
  • Cross-round learning and consensus tracking

Stock Market Complexity:

  • 5 distinct trading strategies with different logic
  • Order imbalance-based price discovery
  • Volatility calculation (rolling 10-tick std dev)
  • Flash crash detection (>10% drop threshold)
  • Circuit breaker state management
  • Herding detection (>60% same direction)
  • Per-trader P&L and sentiment tracking
  • Adaptive learning from top performers
