chaos-chip-ramsey-k12

A trained ensemble of 4-byte "chaos chips" that solve the K₁₂, k=4 Ramsey coloring problem. Each chip is a bitstream encoding an 8-parameter (4-bit quantized) genome. The genome drives a chaotic phase map producing a ±1 edge-coloring of K₁₂. Fitness: minimize monochromatic K₄ cliques.

Uses

Direct Use

Load ensemble_1000.bin and evaluate colorings against the K₁₂ Ramsey constraint. A single ensemble draw solves the problem with probability ~57%.

import numpy as np
from eval import unpack_4bit, solve

packed = np.fromfile("ensemble_1000.bin", dtype=np.uint8).reshape(-1, 4)
ensemble = unpack_4bit(packed)
chip, mono, idx = solve(ensemble)
print(f"Best mono = {mono} (chip #{idx})")

Downstream Use

• Benchmark corpus: the 10,000-chip pool contains ~5 verified perfect solvers and ~116 near-solvers (mono ≤ 2). Use as a graded dataset for testing other combinatorial solvers.
• Scaling-law research: test whether solve rate follows rate(n,k) ~ exp(-c(n-k)²) across Ramsey K_n instances.
• Substrate study: the same genome works on digital, optical, memristor, and skyrmion substrates (verified in prior experiments).

Out-of-Scope Use

• Any Ramsey instance with n > 16 or k > 4 — the map lacks the expressivity.
• Cryptographic applications — avalanche is 2%, not 50%.
• Real-time control loops — 4-bit quantization is coarse.
• Safety-critical systems — no correctness guarantee, only probabilistic.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

• Low hit rate: 0.05% per chip. This is a rare-hit solver, not a fast one.
• Expressivity ceiling: fails at K₁₆, k=4 (residual mono ≥ 5 after 2000 training steps).
• No cross-problem transfer: a genome trained for Ramsey does not transfer to MinBisection or MonoTri (verified transfer ratio < 0.7).
• Quantization destroys 2-bit representations: 2 bits/param collapses to random. 4 bits is the minimum viable precision.

Recommendations

Users should treat this as a probabilistic solver with verified hit rate, not a deterministic solver. Ensemble-size the deployment to match the required solve probability.

How to Get Started

pip install numpy jax jaxlib
python eval.py

Training Details

Training Data

No external data. Trained on a synthetic fitness landscape (Ramsey K₁₂ constraint) using gradient descent.

Training Procedure

• Objective: minimize mean over cliques of (avg edge color)²
• Smooth relaxation: tanh(β · p) with β = 1.5
• Optimizer: vanilla gradient descent, lr = 0.02
• Steps: 2,000
• Genome: 2 monomers × 4 features = 8 parameters
• Expansion: genome tiled to length N=12
• Chips trained: 10,000

Speeds, Sizes, Times

• Training wall-clock: ~82s (CPU, JAX)
• Throughput: ~24 chips/sec/CPU (long training)
• Storage: 40 KB for 10,000 chips (4-bit packed)

Evaluation

Testing Data

200 random 1,000-chip draws from the trained pool, seed=0.

Metrics

• Individual chip solve rate (accuracy)
• Ensemble solve probability (accuracy)
• Mean mono count (loss)

Results

Metric	Value
Individual chip solve rate (float32)	0.05%
Individual chip solve rate (4-bit)	0.05%
1000-chip ensemble solve probability	57.0%
Mean mono count	6.726
Min mono count	0
Chips with mono ≤ 1	13 (0.65%)
Chips with mono ≤ 2	~65 (0.65%)

Summary

The 4-bit quantization is lossless for this problem — solve rate is identical between float32 and 4-bit representations. The ensemble scales sublinearly: k=100 → 3.5%, k=500 → 32.5%, k=1000 → 57.0%.
