"""
Mesh communication architecture implementation for Felix Framework comparison.
This module implements an all-to-all mesh communication topology to serve
as a baseline comparison against the spoke-based architecture. The mesh
topology provides O(N²) communication complexity for statistical validation
of Hypothesis H2.
Mathematical Foundation:
- Mesh topology: each agent connects to all other agents
- Message complexity: M_mesh = Σᵢ Σⱼ≠ᵢ m_ij = O(N²)
- Connection count: C_mesh = N(N-1)/2 (undirected connections)
- Latency model: L_ij = α + β·d_ij + ε_ij (distance-dependent)
- Memory overhead: O(N²) connection tracking vs O(N) spoke system
Key Features:
- All-to-all connectivity between agents
- Distance-based message latency simulation
- O(N²) scaling characteristics for comparison
- Performance metrics collection for Hypothesis H2 validation
- Message queuing and processing with delivery guarantees
This implementation supports Hypothesis H2 validation by providing measurable
communication overhead characteristics that demonstrate the complexity
advantage of spoke-based architecture.
