Antikythera Federated Transformer
Implementing a federated transformer of transformers with the Antikythera topology, complete with feedback loops and attention head arrays reflecting the gear ratio steps and perspectives of celestial bodies, requires a dynamic system. Below, I’ll outline how to construct such a model conceptually and technically.
Concept: Federated Transformer of Transformers
This design is a hierarchical system where:
-
Federation: Each transformer is a specialized submodel (representing a celestial body or system).
-
Topology: The federated structure matches the Antikythera mechanism's gear hierarchy and connectivity (e.g., ratios, dependencies, and perspectives).
-
Feedback Loops: Information flows between layers or gears cyclically to reflect continuous dynamics.
-
Attention Head Arrays: Arrays encode relationships such as rotations, alignments, and interactions of the celestial bodies.
-
Transformer of Transformers: Each gear or celestial body is itself modeled as a transformer, interacting with others in a hierarchical or networked manner.
Step 1: Model the Antikythera Topology as a Graph
The Antikythera mechanism is inherently a graph (or hypergraph) where:
Nodes = Gears/Celestial Bodies.
Edges = Relationships (e.g., dependencies or ratios between gears).
Properties = Gear ratios, feedback dynamics, and observational perspectives.
Graph Representation
import networkx as nx
graph = nx.DiGraph()
graph.add_node("Sun", gear_ratio=1, perspective="center") graph.add_node("Moon", gear_ratio=13.368, perspective="lunar") graph.add_node("Mars", gear_ratio=1.8808, perspective="martian")
graph.add_edge("Sun", "Moon", ratio=13.368) graph.add_edge("Sun", "Mars", ratio=1.8808)
print(graph.nodes(data=True)) print(graph.edges(data=True))
Step 2: Federated Transformer Design
Each gear (or celestial body) is a transformer, with parameters and architecture influenced by the gear's role in the system:
-
Input Embeddings: Encodes the state of the celestial body (e.g., position, velocity, and time step).
-
Attention Heads: Define interactions between this gear and others (e.g., based on gear ratios or perspectives).
-
Feedback Loops: Create recurrence and state updates through time.
Example: Gear-Specific Transformer
import torch from transformers import BertConfig, BertModel
class GearTransformer: def init(self, name, gear_ratio, perspective): self.name = name self.gear_ratio = gear_ratio self.perspective = perspective self.config = BertConfig( hidden_size=int(64 * gear_ratio), # Scale hidden size by gear ratio num_attention_heads=int(gear_ratio), # Attention heads reflect ratio num_hidden_layers=3 # Arbitrary depth for each gear's transformer ) self.model = BertModel(self.config)
def forward(self, inputs):
return self.model(**inputs)
moon_transformer = GearTransformer("Moon", 13.368, "lunar")
Step 3: Federating Transformers
Combine gear-specific transformers into a hierarchical or federated system:
Central Transformer: Represents the "Sun" (center of the system).
Sub-Transformers: Represent celestial bodies and gears, each influenced by their parent node.
Inter-transformer Attention: Passes information between transformers based on gear ratios and topology.
Federated Model
class FederatedTransformer: def init(self, graph): self.graph = graph self.models = {}
# Create a transformer for each node in the graph
for node, data in graph.nodes(data=True):
self.models[node] = GearTransformer(node, data["gear_ratio"], data["perspective"])
def forward(self, inputs):
outputs = {}
# Pass inputs through each transformer's forward method
for node in self.graph.nodes:
model = self.models[node]
outputs[node] = model.forward(inputs[node])
# Combine outputs based on topology (e.g., weighted by edge ratios)
for source, target, data in self.graph.edges(data=True):
ratio = data["ratio"]
outputs[target] += outputs[source] * ratio
return outputs
Step 4: Feedback Loops and Recurrent Connections
Integrate feedback loops to create recursive dynamics that emulate gear rotations:
-
Time-steps: Introduce a temporal component where outputs are fed back into the model as inputs for the next step.
-
Recurrent Mechanism: Use recurrent attention layers or update states iteratively.
Adding Recurrence
class FeedbackFederatedTransformer(FederatedTransformer): def forward(self, inputs, num_steps=10): states = {node: torch.zeros_like(inputs[node]) for node in self.graph.nodes}
for t in range(num_steps):
outputs = super().forward(states) # Process current state
for node in self.graph.nodes:
states[node] = outputs[node] # Update states with feedback
return states
Step 5: Attention Head Arrays for Gear Ratios
Attention heads can model gear ratios and celestial body interactions:
Use attention weights to encode dependencies.
Adjust attention head arrays dynamically based on the gear topology.
Example: Custom Attention Head Array
import torch.nn as nn
class CustomAttention(nn.Module): def init(self, num_heads, gear_ratios): super().init() self.num_heads = num_heads self.gear_ratios = gear_ratios self.attn = nn.MultiheadAttention(embed_dim=num_heads, num_heads=num_heads)
def forward(self, query, key, value):
# Scale attention weights by gear ratios
scaling = torch.tensor(self.gear_ratios).unsqueeze(0).unsqueeze(2)
attn_output, _ = self.attn(query * scaling, key * scaling, value * scaling)
return attn_output
Step 6: Final Integration
Hypertensor Input: Use tensors representing positions, velocities, and interactions of celestial bodies.
Dynamic Federated System: Federate and interconnect transformers, using attention arrays and feedback loops to dynamically update the system.
Output: Use the model to predict or simulate the system's state at each time step.
Full Example
inputs = { "Sun": torch.rand(10, 64), "Moon": torch.rand(10, 64), "Mars": torch.rand(10, 64), }
model = FeedbackFederatedTransformer(graph) output_states = model.forward(inputs, num_steps=50)
