Felix Framework - Project Summary & Status

Executive Summary

The Felix Framework is a completed research project that successfully translated a 3D geometric helix model into a computational framework for multi-agent cognitive architectures. The project demonstrates novel approaches to agent coordination using spiral processing paths with spoke-based communication to a central coordination system.

Project Status: βœ… Research Complete | βœ… Production Ready | βœ… HF Spaces Deployed

Key Achievements

  • Mathematical Precision: <1e-12 error tolerance achieved vs OpenSCAD prototype
  • Statistical Validation: 2/3 research hypotheses supported with significance (p<0.05)
  • Agent Systems: Dynamic spawning, specialized roles, multi-model LLM integration
  • Performance Analysis: Helix architecture shows measurable advantages in task distribution
  • Memory Efficiency: O(N) communication vs O(NΒ²) mesh topology
