-# Tiny AGI — Propagation Logic
-
-Trained using the **P/G → Q** mechanism from James Pugmire's papers.
-
-**Trained on:** https://github.com/ApplePiesFromScratch/propagation-logic
-
-**Architecture:** Custom MechanismBlock (attention + FFN) with character-level tokens.
-
-**Goal:** Demonstrate that a very small model trained purely on the differential propagation mechanism can learn real code patterns.

+# MechanismBase — P / G → Q
+
+A 10M parameter transformer trained on derivation traces, not natural language.
+
+## What this is
+
+Standard language models learn statistical patterns over text.
+This model was trained on the **procedure** P / G → Q — explicit derivation
+traces showing closure analysis, fixed point detection, cycle structure
+identification, and forced boundary condition derivation.
+
+**The claim:** given any carrier V and gradient family Γ, the model can derive
+forced boundary conditions — what logic system the carrier implies, what
+fixed points exist, what cycle structure is forced.
+
+## Theory
+
+Propagation Logic v13 — SSRN Abstract ID: 6439258 (James Pugmire)
+
+The single primitive operator: `P / G → Q`
+
+A loaded pattern P propagates through gradient field G in context C to
+produce updated pattern Q. All of classical logic, fuzzy logic, arithmetic,
+calculus, and grammar fall out of different (V, Γ) choices.
+
+## Model
+
+- Architecture: Transformer decoder (custom, mechanism-aligned)
+- Parameters: 10.5M
+- Training tokens: ~200K (derivation traces)
+- Training epochs: 5
+
+## Benchmark: DTA (Derivation Trace Accuracy)
+
+The correct benchmark for this model is not BLiMP or MMLU.
+It is DTA — how accurately does the model predict forced boundary conditions
+on novel carriers?
+
+See: `ApplePiesFromScratch/dta-benchmark`
+
+| Model | DTA-Overall | DTA-Closure | DTA-FixedPts | DTA-Cycle |
+|-------|-------------|-------------|--------------|-----------|
+| MechanismBase (10M) | TBD | TBD | TBD | TBD |
+| Random baseline | 25% | 50% | 25% | 25% |
+| Engine (oracle) | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% |
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+# The model requires the pl/ library and engine.py from the repo
+# Clone: github.com/ApplePiesFromScratch/propagation-logic
+
+from model import MechanismBase, SmallConfig
+from tokenizers import Tokenizer
+import torch
+
+config = SmallConfig()
+model = MechanismBase(config)
+# Load weights from Hub (see full usage in repo)
+
+tokenizer = Tokenizer.from_file("mechanism_tokenizer/tokenizer.json")
+
+# Give the model a partial derivation trace
+partial = """DOMAIN: color_domain
+CARRIER: ['red', 'green', 'blue']
+GRADIENTS: ['complement', 'id']
+THETA: 1.0
+---
+"""
+
+ids = torch.tensor(tokenizer.encode(partial).ids).unsqueeze(0)
+output = model.generate(ids, max_new_tokens=200, temperature=0.3)
+print(tokenizer.decode(output[0].tolist()))
+```
+
+## Training
+
+```
+python generate_data.py    # generates derivation trace corpus
+python tokenizer_train.py  # BPE tokenizer on corpus
+python train.py            # SmallConfig, ~30 min on RTX 4060 Ti

+The transformer decoder implementing P / G → Q.
+
+Two configurations:
+    SmallConfig  (~10M params) — appropriate for ~200K tokens.
+                                 Generalizes. Recommended for current corpus.
+
+    FullConfig   (~235M params) — appropriate for ~2M+ tokens.
+                                  Use after expanding the training corpus.
+
+Architecture maps to PL terminology:
+    wte          — token embedding: seeds patterns P with initial loaded history
+    wpe          — position encoding: adds positional loaded history
+    PropagationBlock — one complete P / G → Q step:
+                       attention = gradient family G applied to P
+                       residual  = loaded history H_P accumulating
+                       pre-norm  = coherence check before each propagation
+                       MLP       = reconfiguration toward coherent state
+    ln_f         — final coherence check
+    lm_head      — output: weight-tied to wte (same carrier in and out)
