""" Cost comparison: H4 CPU-only RAG vs standard approaches. Measures the three things that matter: 1. Answer quality (character-level overlap / retrieval accuracy) 2. Latency (ms per query) 3. Cost (hardware + energy) Setup A — H4 Geometric RAG (CPU only): Retrieval: E8 lattice memory, O(1) + 240 neighbors Generation: H4 attention with ChamberTree, ternary weights Cost: $0 ongoing (runs on existing hardware) Setup B — Brute-force CPU baseline: Retrieval: cosine similarity over all chunks (O(n)) Generation: softmax transformer, same model size Cost: $0 ongoing (same hardware, different algorithm) The comparison isolates the algorithmic advantage: same hardware, same model size, same data, different attention mechanism.
