# Sophon

> Swarm intelligence observer. See what emerges when agents collide.

## 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.

<Warning>Sophon is in active development. The specification is at v1.1. Public access coming soon.</Warning>

## 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).
