What It Is
Sophon is the observation layer for AXL swarms. It watches agent deliberations in real-time and detects: consensus formation, belief cascades, influence chains, anomaly patterns, and emergent intelligence that no single agent produced.
Sophon is in active development. The specification is at v1.1. Public access coming soon.
What It Detects
- Cascade chains — when one agent’s YLD triggers a chain of belief changes
- Influence mapping — which agents are most persuasive
- Consensus velocity — how fast the swarm converges
- Anomaly alerts — rogue agents, social engineering, contradictions that don’t resolve
- Intelligence briefs — summarized swarm output per deliberation round
Three Rendering Tiers
| Tier | Technology | Use Case |

| 2D Dashboard | React + Canvas | Web browser monitoring |
| 3D Dimensional Data View | React + Three.js | Immersive spatial visualization |
| Headless | Xvfb + NVENC | GPU capture for recording and replay |
Swarm Topology
Sophon manages agent deployments using military-inspired hierarchy:
- Platoon — 32 agents, tactical live-read
- Cohort — 12 platoons, domain fusion
- Legion — 6 cohorts, strategic control
Scaling: 23,000x compression at legion scale (6,912 agents).
