feat: enforce data/metadata separation, numeric range queries, improved docs

Browse source 
- Store data opaquely in add() and update() instead of spreading object
  properties into top-level metadata. data is for semantic search (HNSW),
  metadata is for structured where-filter queries (MetadataIndex).
- Fix numeric range queries in MetadataIndex — use numeric-aware comparison
  instead of lexicographic string comparison for normalized values.
- Add data field to RelateParams and Relation types for relationship content.
- Add where.type → where.noun alias in metadata-only find() path.
- Rewrite README: focused ~350 lines from 791, quick start first, feature
  showcase with mini-snippets, organized doc links, no version callouts.
- Add DATA_MODEL.md and QUERY_OPERATORS.md reference docs.
- Remove 10 outdated/redundant doc files consolidated into API reference.
- Improve JSDoc on Entity, Relation, AddParams, FindParams, and core methods.
- Fix tests asserting data properties appear in metadata (data model violation).
- Deprecate verb.source/target in favor of from/to (public) and sourceId/targetId (storage).

## The Knowledge Operating System
**Three database paradigms. One API. Zero configuration.**
**Every piece of knowledge in your application — living, connected, and intelligent.**
Stop fighting with vector databases, graph databases, and document stores. Stop stitching together Pinecone + Neo4j + MongoDB. **Brainy does all three, in one elegant API, from prototype to planet-scale.**
```javascript
const brain = new Brainy()
await brain.init()
// That's it. You now have semantic search, graph relationships,
// and document filtering. Zero configuration. Just works.
```
**Built by developers who were tired of:**
- Spending weeks configuring embeddings, indexes, and schemas
- Choosing between vector similarity OR graph relationships OR metadata filtering
- Rewriting everything when you need to scale from 1,000 to 1,000,000,000 entities
**Brainy makes the impossible simple: All three paradigms. One API. Any scale.**
Built because we were tired of stitching together Pinecone + Neo4j + MongoDB and spending weeks on configuration before writing a single line of business logic. Brainy unifies vector search, graph traversal, and metadata filtering so you don't have to choose.

## Entity Extraction (NEW in v5.7.6)
## Three Indexes, One Query
**Extract entities from text with AI-powered classification:**
Every piece of knowledge lives in three indexes simultaneously:
- **`data`** → **Vector index** — Content for semantic search. Strings auto-embed into 384-dim vectors. Queried with `find({ query: '...' })`.
- **`metadata`** → **Metadata index** — Structured fields for filtering. O(1) lookups. Queried with `find({ where: { ... } })`.
- **`relate()`** → **Graph index** — Typed, directed relationships between entities. Traversed with `find({ connected: { ... } })`.
```javascript
import { Brainy, NounType } from '@soulcraft/brainy'
const brain = new Brainy()
await brain.init()
// Extract all entities
const entities = await brain.extractEntities('John Smith founded Acme Corp in New York')
// Returns:
// [
// { text: 'John Smith', type: NounType.Person, confidence: 0.95 },
// { text: 'Acme Corp', type: NounType.Organization, confidence: 0.92 },
// { text: 'New York', type: NounType.Location, confidence: 0.88 }
// ]
// Extract with filters
const people = await brain.extractEntities(resume, {
types: [NounType.Person],
confidence: 0.8
// Data → vector index (semantic search)
const articleId = await brain.add({
data: 'A deep dive into transformer architectures',
type: NounType.Document,
metadata: { author: 'Dr. Chen', year: 2024, tags: ['AI'] } // → metadata index
})
// Advanced: Direct access to extractors
import { SmartExtractor } from '@soulcraft/brainy'
// Relationships → graph index
await brain.relate({ from: authorId, to: articleId, type: VerbType.Authored })
const extractor = new SmartExtractor(brain, { minConfidence: 0.7 })
const result = await extractor.extract('CEO', {
formatContext: { format: 'excel', columnHeader: 'Title' }
// Query all three at once
brain.find({
query: 'attention mechanisms', // Vector similarity
where: { year: { greaterThan: 2023 } }, // Metadata filter
connected: { from: authorId, depth: 1 } // Graph traversal
})
```

## From Prototype to Planet Scale
## Features
**The same API. Zero rewrites. Any scale.**
### Triple Intelligence
Vector search + graph traversal + metadata filtering in every query. No stitching services together — one `find()` call combines all three.
### 👤 Individual Developer → Weekend Prototype
```javascript
const brain = new Brainy() // Zero config, starts in memory
await brain.init()
```
**Perfect for:** Hackathons, side projects, prototyping, learning
### 👥 Small Team → Production MVP
```javascript
const brain = new Brainy({
storage: { type: 'filesystem', path: './data', compression: true }
const results = await brain.find({
query: 'machine learning',
where: { department: 'engineering', level: 'senior' },
connected: { from: teamLeadId, via: VerbType.WorksWith, depth: 2 }
})
```
**Scale:** Thousands to hundreds of thousands • **Performance:** <5ms queries
**→ [Production Service Architecture](docs/PRODUCTION_SERVICE_ARCHITECTURE.md)** — Singleton patterns, caching, and scaling for Bun/Node.js services
### 🏢 Growing Company → Multi-Million Scale
### Hybrid Search
Automatically combines keyword (text) and semantic (vector) search. No configuration needed.
```javascript
const brain = new Brainy({
storage: { type: 's3', s3Storage: { bucketName: 'my-kb', region: 'us-east-1' } },
hnsw: { typeAware: true }
await brain.find({ query: 'David Smith' }) // Auto: text + semantic
await brain.find({ query: 'AI concepts', searchMode: 'semantic' }) // Semantic only
await brain.find({ query: 'exact id', searchMode: 'text' }) // Text only
```
### Query Operators
Filter metadata with equality, comparison, array, existence, pattern, and logical operators:
```javascript
await brain.find({
where: {
status: 'active', // Exact match
score: { greaterThan: 90 }, // Comparison
tags: { contains: 'ai' }, // Array
anyOf: [{ role: 'admin' }, { role: 'owner' }] // Logical OR
}
})
```
**Scale:** Millions of entities • **Performance:** <10ms queries (measured at 1M scale)
### 🌍 Enterprise → Billion+ Scale
**[Query Operators Reference](docs/QUERY_OPERATORS.md)** — all operators with indexed/in-memory matrix
### Graph Relationships
Typed, directed edges between entities. Traverse connections at any depth.
```javascript
const brain = new Brainy({
storage: { type: 'gcs', gcsStorage: { bucketName: 'global-kb' } },
hnsw: { typeAware: true, M: 32, efConstruction: 400 }
await brain.relate({ from: personId, to: projectId, type: VerbType.WorksOn })
const results = await brain.find({
connected: { from: personId, via: VerbType.WorksOn, depth: 3 }
})
```
**Scale:** PROJECTED billion+ (extrapolated from 10M tests, not tested at 1B)
**Cost:** $138k/year → $6k/year with intelligent tiering (96% savings)
**→ [Capacity Planning Guide](docs/operations/capacity-planning.md)** | **[Cost Optimization](docs/operations/)**
### Git-Style Branching
### 🎯 The Point
**Start simple. Scale infinitely. Never rewrite.**
Most systems make you choose: Simple (SQLite) OR Scalable (Kubernetes + 7 databases).
**Brainy gives you both.** Starts simple as SQLite. Scales like Google.
---
## Why Brainy Is Revolutionary
### 🧠 **Triple Intelligence™** — The Impossible Made Possible
**The world's first to unify three database paradigms in ONE API:**
| What You Get | Like Having | But Unified |
|-------------|-------------|-------------|
| 🔍 **Vector Search** | Pinecone, Weaviate | Find by meaning |
| 🕸️ **Graph Relationships** | Neo4j, ArangoDB | Navigate connections |
| 📊 **Document Filtering** | MongoDB, Elasticsearch | Query metadata |
**Every other system makes you choose.** Brainy does all three together.
**Why this matters:** Your data isn't just vectors or just documents or just graphs. It's all three at once. A research paper is semantically similar to other papers (vector), written by an author (graph), and published in 2023 (document). **Brainy is the only system that understands this.**
### 🎯 **42 Noun Types × 127 Verb Types = Universal Protocol**
Model **any domain** with mathematical completeness:
```
42 Nouns × 127 Verbs × ∞ Metadata = 5,334+ base combinations
Stage 3 CANONICAL: 96-97% coverage of all human knowledge
```
**Real-world expressiveness:**
- Healthcare: `Patient → diagnoses → Condition`
- Finance: `Account → transfers → Transaction`
- Manufacturing: `Product → assembles → Component`
- Education: `Student → completes → Course`
- **YOUR domain** → Your types + relationships = Your knowledge graph
[→ See the Mathematical Proof](docs/architecture/noun-verb-taxonomy.md)
### ⚡ **Zero Configuration Philosophy**
**We hate configuration files. So we eliminated them.**
Fork your entire database in <100ms. Snowflake-style copy-on-write.
```javascript
const brain = new Brainy() // Auto-detects everything
await brain.init() // Optimizes for your environment
```
Brainy automatically:
- Detects optimal storage (memory/filesystem/cloud)
- Configures memory based on available RAM
- Optimizes for containers (Docker/K8s)
- Tunes indexes for your data patterns
- Manages embedding models and caching
**You write business logic. Brainy handles infrastructure.**
### 🚀 **Git-Style Version Control** — Database & Entity Level (v5.0.0+)
**Clone your entire database in <100ms. Track every entity change. Full Git-style workflow.**
```javascript
// Fork instantly - Snowflake-style copy-on-write
const experiment = await brain.fork('test-migration')
// Make changes safely in isolation
await experiment.add({ type: 'user', data: { name: 'Test User' } })
await experiment.updateAll({ /* migration logic */ })
// Commit your work
await experiment.commit({ message: 'Add test user', author: 'dev@example.com' })
// Switch to experimental branch to make it active
await experiment.add({ data: 'test data', type: NounType.Concept })
await experiment.commit({ message: 'Add test data', author: 'dev@co.com' })
await brain.checkout('test-migration')
// Time-travel: Query database at any past commit (read-only)
const commits = await brain.getHistory({ limit: 10 })
const snapshot = await brain.asOf(commits[5].id)
// Time-travel: query at any past commit
const snapshot = await brain.asOf(commitId)
const pastResults = await snapshot.find({ query: 'historical data' })
await snapshot.close()
// Entity versioning: Track changes to individual entities (v5.3.0+)
const userId = await brain.add({ type: 'user', data: { name: 'Alice' } })
await brain.versions.save(userId, { tag: 'v1.0', description: 'Initial profile' })
await brain.update(userId, { data: { name: 'Alice Smith', role: 'admin' } })
await brain.versions.save(userId, { tag: 'v2.0', description: 'Added role' })
// Compare versions or restore previous state
const diff = await brain.versions.compare(userId, 1, 2) // See what changed
await brain.versions.restore(userId, 1) // Restore v1.0
```
**Database-level version control (v5.0.0):**
- ✅ `fork()` - Instant clone in <100ms
- ✅ `merge()` - Merge with conflict resolution
- ✅ `commit()` - Snapshot state
- ✅ `asOf()` - Time-travel queries (query at any commit)
- ✅ `getHistory()` - View commit history
- ✅ `checkout()`, `listBranches()` - Full branch management
- ✅ CLI support for all features
**[Branching Documentation](docs/features/instant-fork.md)**
**Entity-level version control (v5.3.0):**
- ✅ `versions.save()` - Save entity snapshots with tags
- ✅ `versions.restore()` - Restore previous versions
- ✅ `versions.compare()` - Diff between versions
- ✅ `versions.list()` - View version history
- ✅ Automatic deduplication (content-addressable storage)
### Entity Versioning
**How it works:** Snowflake-style COW shares HNSW index structures, copying only modified nodes (10-20% memory overhead).
**Perfect for:** Safe migrations, A/B testing, feature branches, distributed development, time-travel debugging, audit trails, document versioning, compliance tracking

## What Can You Build?
**If your app needs to remember, understand, or connect information — Brainy makes it trivial.**
### 🤖 **AI Agents with Perfect Memory**
Give your AI unlimited context that persists forever. Not just chat history — true understanding of relationships, evolution, and meaning over time.
**Examples:** Personal assistants, code assistants, conversational AI, research agents
### 📚 **Living Documentation & Knowledge Bases**
Documentation that understands itself. Auto-links related concepts, detects outdated information, finds connections across your entire knowledge base.
**Examples:** Internal wikis, research platforms, smart documentation, learning systems
### 🔍 **Semantic Search at Any Scale**
Find by meaning, not keywords. Search codebases, research papers, customer data, or media libraries with natural language.
**Examples:** Code search, research platforms, content discovery, recommendation engines
### 🏢 **Enterprise Knowledge Management**
Corporate memory that never forgets. Track every customer interaction, product evolution, and business relationship.
**Examples:** CRM systems, product catalogs, customer intelligence, institutional knowledge
### 🎮 **Rich Interactive Experiences**
NPCs that remember. Characters that persist across stories. Worlds that evolve based on real relationships.
**Examples:** Game worlds, interactive fiction, educational platforms, creative tools
### 🎨 **Content & Media Platforms**
Every asset knows its relationships. Intelligent tagging, similarity-based discovery, and relationship-aware management.
**Examples:** DAM systems, media libraries, writing assistants, content management
**The pattern:** Knowledge that needs to live, connect, and evolve. That's what Brainy was built for.
---
## Core Features
### 🧠 **Natural Language Queries**
Save, restore, and compare entity snapshots.
```javascript
// Ask naturally - Brainy understands
await brain.find("recent React components with tests")
await brain.find("JavaScript libraries similar to Vue")
const userId = await brain.add({ data: 'Alice', type: NounType.Person })
await brain.versions.save(userId, { tag: 'v1.0' })
// Or use structured Triple Intelligence queries
await brain.find({
query: "React",
where: { type: "library", year: { greaterThan: 2020 } },
connected: { to: "JavaScript", depth: 2 }
})
await brain.update(userId, { data: 'Alice Smith' })
await brain.versions.save(userId, { tag: 'v2.0' })
const diff = await brain.versions.compare(userId, 1, 2)
await brain.versions.restore(userId, 1)
```
**→ [See all query methods in API Reference](docs/api/README.md#search--query)**
### Virtual Filesystem
### 🔍 **Zero-Config Hybrid Search** (v7.7.0)
Automatically combines text (keyword) and semantic (vector) search for optimal results:
File operations with semantic search built in.
```javascript
// Just works - no configuration needed
const results = await brain.find({ query: 'David Smith' })
// Finds exact text matches AND semantically similar content
const vfs = brain.vfs
// Override when needed
await brain.find({ query: 'exact match', searchMode: 'text' }) // Text only
await brain.find({ query: 'AI concepts', searchMode: 'semantic' }) // Semantic only
await brain.find({ query: 'hybrid', hybridAlpha: 0.3 }) // Custom weighting
// Highlight structured content (v7.8.0) — plain text, JSON, HTML, Markdown
const highlights = await brain.highlight({
query: 'warrior',
text: entity.data // Auto-detects TipTap, Slate, Lexical, HTML, Markdown
})
// Each highlight has: text, score, position, matchType, contentCategory
```
**→ [Hybrid Search Documentation](docs/api/README.md#hybrid-search-v770)**
### 🌐 **Virtual Filesystem** — Intelligent File Management
Build file explorers and IDEs that never crash:
```javascript
const vfs = brain.vfs()
// Tree-aware operations prevent infinite recursion
const tree = await vfs.getTreeStructure('/projects', { maxDepth: 3 })
await vfs.writeFile('/docs/readme.md', 'Project documentation')
const content = await vfs.readFile('/docs/readme.md')
const tree = await vfs.getTreeStructure('/docs', { maxDepth: 3 })
// Semantic file search
const reactFiles = await vfs.search('React components with hooks')
const matches = await vfs.search('React components with hooks')
```

## Requirements
> **Deprecation Notice:** Browser support (OPFS storage, Web Workers, WASM embeddings) is deprecated in v7.10.0 and will be removed in v8.0.0. Brainy v8+ will be server-only (Node.js >= 22, Bun >= 1.3.0). Migrate browser deployments to a server-side API.
**Bun 1.0+** (recommended) or **Node.js 22 LTS**
```bash
# Bun (recommended - best performance, single-binary deployment)
bun install @soulcraft/brainy
# Node.js (fully supported)
npm install @soulcraft/brainy
bun install @soulcraft/brainy # Bun — best performance
npm install @soulcraft/brainy # Node.js — fully supported
```
> **Why Bun?** Brainy's Candle WASM engine works seamlessly with `bun --compile` for standalone binary deployment. No external model files, no runtime downloads.
---
## Why Brainy Exists
**The Vision:** Traditional systems force you to choose between vector databases, graph databases, and document stores. You need all three, but combining them is complex and fragile.
**Brainy solved the impossible:** One API. All three paradigms. Any scale.
Like HTTP standardized web communication, **Brainy standardizes knowledge representation.** One protocol that any AI model understands. One system that scales from prototype to planet.

## 📝 Adding Data
### Adding Single Entities
**Use `brainy.add()` when:**
- Adding one entity at a time
- You need the ID immediately for further operations
- Working with user input or real-time data
```typescript
// ✅ Perfect for single entities
const id = await brainy.add({
data: "New research paper on quantum computing",
type: NounType.Document,
metadata: { category: "research", priority: "high" }
})
```
**Decision factors:**
- **Single item?** → `add()`
- **Need immediate ID?** → `add()`
- **Interactive application?** → `add()`
### Adding Multiple Entities
**Use `brainy.addMany()` when:**
- Bulk importing data
- Processing batches (>10 items)
- Performance is critical
```typescript
// ✅ Perfect for bulk operations
const result = await brainy.addMany({
items: documents.map(doc => ({
data: doc.content,
type: NounType.Document,
metadata: doc.metadata
})),
chunkSize: 100,
parallel: true
})
```
**Decision factors:**
- **Multiple items (>10)?** → `addMany()`
- **Batch processing?** → `addMany()`
- **Can tolerate some failures?** → `addMany()` with `continueOnError: true`
### Streaming Data
**Use Streaming Pipeline when:**
- Real-time data ingestion
- Processing large datasets that don't fit in memory
- Need transformation during ingestion
```typescript
// ✅ Perfect for streaming
const pipeline = brainy.streaming.pipeline()
.transform(data => ({ ...data, processed: true }))
.batch(50)
.into(brainy)
```
---
## 🔍 Finding Data
### Natural Language Search
**Use `brainy.find("query string")` when:**
- User is typing search queries
- You want semantic understanding
- Building search interfaces
```typescript
// ✅ Perfect for user searches
const results = await brainy.find("documents about machine learning")
```
**Decision factors:**
- **User-generated query?** → Natural language `find()`
- **Semantic understanding needed?** → Natural language `find()`
- **Search interface?** → Natural language `find()`
### Structured Search
**Use `brainy.find({ query, where, type })` when:**
- Complex filtering requirements
- Combining text search with metadata filters
- Performance-critical searches
```typescript
// ✅ Perfect for complex queries
const results = await brainy.find({
query: "neural networks",
type: NounType.Document,
where: {
status: "published",
year: { $gte: 2020 }
},
limit: 20
})
```
**Decision factors:**
- **Need metadata filtering?** → Structured `find()`
- **Performance critical?** → Structured `find()`
- **Complex criteria?** → Structured `find()`
### Similarity Search
**Use `brainy.similar()` when:**
- Finding "more like this" content
- Recommendation systems
- Duplicate detection
```typescript
// ✅ Perfect for recommendations
const similar = await brainy.similar({
to: "document-id-123",
limit: 10,
type: NounType.Document
})
```
**Decision factors:**
- **"More like this" feature?** → `similar()`
- **Recommendations?** → `similar()`
- **Duplicate detection?** → `similar()`
### Retrieval by ID
**Use `brainy.get()` when:**
- You know the exact ID
- Loading specific entities
- Following relationships
```typescript
// ✅ Perfect for direct access
const entity = await brainy.get("known-id-123")
```
**Decision factors:**
- **Known ID?** → `get()`
- **Direct access needed?** → `get()`
- **Following relationships?** → `get()`
---
## 🔗 Relationships
### Creating Relationships
**Use `brainy.relate()` when:**
- Connecting two entities
- Building knowledge graphs
- Modeling real-world relationships
```typescript
// ✅ Perfect for connections
await brainy.relate({
from: "user-123",
to: "project-456",
type: VerbType.WorksOn,
metadata: { role: "lead", since: "2024-01-01" }
})
```
**Decision factors:**
- **Connecting entities?** → `relate()`
- **Need relationship metadata?** → `relate()`
- **Building graphs?** → `relate()`
### Querying Relationships
**Use `brainy.getRelations()` when:**
- Finding all connections for an entity
- Exploring relationship patterns
- Building relationship views
```typescript
// ✅ Perfect for relationship queries
const relations = await brainy.getRelations({
from: "user-123",
type: VerbType.WorksOn
})
```
---
## 📁 File Operations
### Basic File Operations
**Use VFS when:**
- Managing files and directories
- Need hierarchical structure
- Building file explorers
```typescript
// ✅ Perfect for file management
const vfs = brainy.vfs({ storage: 'filesystem' })
await vfs.writeFile('/docs/readme.md', 'content')
const files = await vfs.getDirectChildren('/docs')
```
**Decision factors:**
- **File management?** → VFS
- **Directory structure?** → VFS
- **File explorer interface?** → VFS
### Intelligent File Management
**Use VFS (Semantic VFS) when:**
- Need semantic file search
- Want AI-powered concept extraction
- Building smart file systems
- Require multi-dimensional file access
```typescript
// ✅ Perfect for intelligent file systems
const knowledgeVFS = await vfs.withKnowledge(brainy)
const insights = await knowledgeVFS.getFileInsights('/project')
```
---
## 🧠 AI Analysis
### Clustering
**Use Neural API clustering when:**
- Discovering data patterns
- Organizing large datasets
- Creating automatic categories
```typescript
// ✅ Perfect for pattern discovery
const neural = brainy.neural()
const clusters = await neural.cluster({
entities: entityIds,
k: 5,
method: 'hierarchical'
})
```
### Intelligence Systems
**Use Triple Intelligence when:**
- Complex multi-criteria searches
- Advanced relationship queries
- Performance-critical operations
```typescript
// ✅ Perfect for complex queries
const intelligence = brainy.getTripleIntelligence()
const results = await intelligence.query({
vector: queryVector,
metadata: { category: 'research' },
graph: { connected: 'user-123' }
})
```
---
## 🚀 Performance Optimization Guide
### When Performance Matters
| Scenario | Best Choice | Why |
|----------|-------------|-----|
| **Bulk Import** | `addMany()` | Batched operations, parallel processing |
| **Metadata-only Search** | `find({ where: {...} })` | Skips vector computation |
| **Known ID Access** | `get()` | Direct index lookup |
| **Large Result Sets** | Pagination with `offset`/`limit` | Memory efficient |
| **Real-time Streams** | Streaming Pipeline | Memory efficient, scalable |
### Memory Usage Optimization
```typescript
// ❌ Memory intensive
const allResults = await brainy.find({ limit: 10000 })
// ✅ Memory efficient
for (let offset = 0; offset < total; offset += 100) {
const batch = await brainy.find({
query: "...",
limit: 100,
offset
})
await processBatch(batch)
}
```
---
## 🎯 Common Use Case Patterns
### Building a Search Interface
```typescript
// User types query → Natural language search
const searchResults = await brainy.find(userQuery)
// User applies filters → Structured search
const filteredResults = await brainy.find({
query: userQuery,
where: selectedFilters,
type: selectedTypes
})
// User clicks "more like this" → Similarity search
const similar = await brainy.similar({ to: selectedId })
```
### Building a Recommendation System
```typescript
// 1. Get user's interaction history
const user = await brainy.get(userId)
// 2. Find similar users
const similarUsers = await brainy.similar({ to: userId, type: NounType.Person })
// 3. Get their liked content
const recommendations = []
for (const similarUser of similarUsers) {
const relations = await brainy.getRelations({
from: similarUser.id,
type: VerbType.Likes
})
recommendations.push(...relations)
}
```
### Building a Knowledge Graph
```typescript
// 1. Add entities
const entities = await Promise.all([
brainy.add({ data: "Person: Alice", type: NounType.Person }),
brainy.add({ data: "Company: TechCorp", type: NounType.Organization }),
brainy.add({ data: "Project: AI Assistant", type: NounType.Thing })
])
// 2. Create relationships
await brainy.relate({
from: entities[0], // Alice
to: entities[1], // TechCorp
type: VerbType.WorksFor
})
await brainy.relate({
from: entities[0], // Alice
to: entities[2], // AI Assistant
type: VerbType.WorksOn
})
// 3. Query the graph
const aliceConnections = await brainy.getRelations({ from: entities[0] })
```

# 🧠 Core API Patterns: Modern Brainy v3.x
> Learn the correct patterns for Brainy's core operations. Avoid v2.x confusion and use modern, efficient APIs.
## 🚨 Critical: Use v3.x APIs Only
### ❌ **WRONG - Deprecated v2.x APIs**
```typescript
// DON'T DO THIS - These methods don't exist in v3.x!
await brain.addNoun(text, type, metadata) // ❌ Removed
await brain.getNouns({ pagination }) // ❌ Removed
await brain.addVerb(source, target, type) // ❌ Removed
await brain.getVerbs() // ❌ Removed
await brain.deleteNoun(id) // ❌ Removed
await brain.deleteVerb(id) // ❌ Removed
```
### ✅ **CORRECT - Modern v3.x APIs**
```typescript
// ✅ Use these modern methods instead
await brain.add({ data, type, metadata }) // Modern unified add
await brain.find({ limit: 100 }) // Natural language search
await brain.relate({ from, to, type }) // Clean relationship creation
await brain.getRelations() // Modern relationship queries
await brain.delete(id) // Unified deletion
// Relationships auto-cascade when entities are deleted
```
## 📋 Entity Management Patterns
### ❌ **WRONG - v2.x Style**
```typescript
// DON'T DO THIS - Old API patterns
import { Brainy } from 'old-brainy' // ❌ Wrong import
const brain = new Brainy({ // ❌ Old class name
complexConfig: true
})
const id = await brain.addNoun( // ❌ Deprecated method
"John Smith is a developer",
"Person",
{ role: "engineer" }
)
```
### ✅ **CORRECT - Modern Patterns**
```typescript
// ✅ Pattern 1: Basic entity creation
import { Brainy, NounType } from '@soulcraft/brainy'
const brain = new Brainy() // ✅ Zero config
await brain.init()
const id = await brain.add({
data: "John Smith is a developer",
type: NounType.Person,
metadata: { role: "engineer", team: "backend" }
})
// ✅ Pattern 2: Bulk entity creation
const entities = [
{ data: "React framework", type: NounType.Technology },
{ data: "Vue.js framework", type: NounType.Technology },
{ data: "Angular framework", type: NounType.Technology }
]
const ids = await Promise.all(
entities.map(entity => brain.add(entity))
)
// ✅ Pattern 3: Entity with pre-computed vector
const customVector = await brain.embed("Custom text")
const vectorId = await brain.add({
data: "Optimized content",
type: NounType.Document,
vector: customVector, // Skip re-embedding
metadata: { source: "api", optimized: true }
})
```
## 🔍 Search & Discovery Patterns
### ❌ **WRONG - Confusing Old Patterns**
```typescript
// DON'T DO THIS - Mixing old and new APIs
const results1 = await brain.searchText("query") // ❌ Old method
const results2 = await brain.getNouns({ filter }) // ❌ Doesn't exist
const results3 = await brain.findSimilar(text) // ❌ Unclear naming
```
### ✅ **CORRECT - Clean Search Patterns**
```typescript
// ✅ Pattern 1: Natural language search
const results = await brain.find("React developers working on authentication")
// ✅ Pattern 2: Structured search with filters
const filteredResults = await brain.find({
like: "machine learning", // Vector similarity
where: { // Metadata filtering
type: NounType.Document,
year: { $gte: 2020 },
status: "published"
},
limit: 50,
orderBy: 'relevance'
})
// ✅ Pattern 3: Similarity search
const similarItems = await brain.similar({
to: existingEntityId, // Find items similar to this
threshold: 0.8, // Minimum similarity
limit: 10,
exclude: [existingEntityId] // Don't include the source
})
// ✅ Pattern 4: Advanced search with relationships
const connectedResults = await brain.find({
like: "frontend frameworks",
connected: {
to: reactId, // Connected to React
via: "related-to", // Through this relationship
depth: 2 // Up to 2 hops away
}
})
```
## 🔗 Relationship Patterns
### ❌ **WRONG - Old Relationship APIs**
```typescript
// DON'T DO THIS - Old relationship patterns
await brain.addVerb(sourceId, targetId, "uses", { strength: 0.9 }) // ❌ Old API
const verbs = await brain.getVerbsBySource(sourceId) // ❌ Removed
await brain.deleteVerb(verbId) // ❌ Old pattern
```
### ✅ **CORRECT - Modern Relationship Management**
```typescript
// ✅ Pattern 1: Create relationships
const relationId = await brain.relate({
from: developerId,
to: frameworkId,
type: VerbType.Uses,
metadata: {
since: "2023-01-01",
proficiency: "expert",
hours_per_week: 40
}
})
// ✅ Pattern 2: Query relationships
const relationships = await brain.getRelations({
from: developerId, // Relationships from this entity
type: VerbType.Uses, // Of this type
limit: 100
})
// ✅ Pattern 3: Bidirectional relationships
await brain.relate({
from: projectId,
to: developerId,
type: VerbType.AssignedTo,
bidirectional: true, // Creates reverse relationship
metadata: { role: "lead", start_date: "2024-01-01" }
})
// ✅ Pattern 4: Relationship-based discovery
const collaborators = await brain.find({
connected: {
to: currentProjectId,
via: VerbType.WorksOn,
direction: "incoming" // Who works on this project
}
})
```
## 🗃️ Data Retrieval Patterns
### ❌ **WRONG - Inefficient Patterns**
```typescript
// DON'T DO THIS - Loading everything
const everything = await brain.getNouns({ limit: 1000000 }) // ❌ Crashes
const allData = await brain.exportAll() // ❌ Memory explosion
```
### ✅ **CORRECT - Efficient Data Access**
```typescript
// ✅ Pattern 1: Paginated retrieval
async function getAllEntitiesPaginated() {
const pageSize = 100
let offset = 0
let allEntities = []
while (true) {
const page = await brain.find({
limit: pageSize,
offset: offset
})
if (page.length === 0) break
allEntities.push(...page)
offset += pageSize
// Optional: Progress reporting
console.log(`Loaded ${allEntities.length} entities...`)
}
return allEntities
}
// ✅ Pattern 2: Streaming large datasets
async function* streamEntities() {
const pageSize = 50
let offset = 0
while (true) {
const page = await brain.find({
limit: pageSize,
offset: offset
})
if (page.length === 0) break
for (const entity of page) {
yield entity
}
offset += pageSize
}
}
// Usage
for await (const entity of streamEntities()) {
await processEntity(entity)
}
// ✅ Pattern 3: Specific entity retrieval
const entity = await brain.get(entityId)
if (entity) {
console.log('Entity data:', entity.data)
console.log('Metadata:', entity.metadata)
} else {
console.log('Entity not found')
}
```
## 🔄 Update & Delete Patterns
### ❌ **WRONG - Manual Update Patterns**
```typescript
// DON'T DO THIS - Recreating entities
await brain.delete(oldId)
const newId = await brain.add(updatedData) // ❌ Loses relationships
```
### ✅ **CORRECT - Update Operations**
```typescript
// ✅ Pattern 1: Update entity data
await brain.update(entityId, {
data: "Updated content here",
metadata: {
lastModified: Date.now(),
version: "2.0"
}
})
// ✅ Pattern 2: Partial metadata updates
await brain.updateMetadata(entityId, {
status: "published",
tags: ["important", "featured"]
// Merges with existing metadata
})
// ✅ Pattern 3: Safe deletion with cascade options
await brain.delete(entityId, {
cascade: true, // Delete related relationships
backup: true // Create backup before deletion
})
// ✅ Pattern 4: Bulk operations
const updateOperations = entities.map(entity => ({
id: entity.id,
changes: { status: "processed" }
}))
await brain.updateMany(updateOperations)
```
## 🧮 Vector & Embedding Patterns
### ❌ **WRONG - Manual Vector Handling**
```typescript
// DON'T DO THIS - Manual embedding without understanding
const vector = await brain.embed(text)
// Store vector somewhere manually // ❌ Missing integration
```
### ✅ **CORRECT - Smart Vector Operations**
```typescript
// ✅ Pattern 1: Automatic embedding (recommended)
const id = await brain.add({
data: "Content to be embedded",
type: NounType.Document
// Vector computed automatically
})
// ✅ Pattern 2: Pre-computed vectors for optimization
const texts = ["Text 1", "Text 2", "Text 3"]
const vectors = await Promise.all(
texts.map(text => brain.embed(text))
)
const entities = await Promise.all(
texts.map((text, i) => brain.add({
data: text,
type: NounType.Document,
vector: vectors[i] // Skip re-embedding
}))
)
// ✅ Pattern 3: Vector similarity search
const queryVector = await brain.embed("search query")
const similar = await brain.similar({
vector: queryVector, // Use vector directly
threshold: 0.75,
limit: 20
})
// ✅ Pattern 4: Compare vectors directly
const vector1 = await brain.embed("First text")
const vector2 = await brain.embed("Second text")
const similarity = brain.computeSimilarity(vector1, vector2)
console.log(`Similarity: ${similarity}`)
```
## 🏗️ Configuration Patterns
### ❌ **WRONG - Over-Configuration**
```typescript
// DON'T DO THIS - Complex configurations that break
const brain = new Brainy({
storage: {
type: 'complex',
options: {
nested: {
configuration: true,
that: "breaks"
}
}
},
embedding: {
customModel: "broken-model",
dimensions: 999999
}
})
```
### ✅ **CORRECT - Smart Configuration**
```typescript
// ✅ Pattern 1: Zero configuration (recommended)
const brain = new Brainy() // Auto-detects everything
await brain.init()
// ✅ Pattern 2: Simple storage selection
const fsBrain = new Brainy({
storage: { type: 'filesystem', path: './data' }
})
const cloudBrain = new Brainy({
storage: { type: 's3', bucket: 'my-data' }
})
// ✅ Pattern 3: Production configuration
const prodBrain = new Brainy({
storage: {
type: 's3',
bucket: process.env.BRAINY_BUCKET,
region: process.env.AWS_REGION
},
silent: true, // No console output
distributed: true, // Enable clustering
cache: { maxSize: 10000 } // Larger cache
})
// ✅ Pattern 4: Development vs production
const isDev = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'
const brain = new Brainy({
storage: isDev
? { type: 'memory' } // Fast for dev
: { type: 'filesystem', path: './brainy-data' }, // Persistent for prod
silent: !isDev, // Verbose in dev, quiet in prod
cache: { maxSize: isDev ? 100 : 5000 }
})
```
## 🔄 Migration from v2.x
### ✅ **Migration Patterns**
```typescript
// If you have old v2.x code, here's how to migrate:
// OLD v2.x:
// await brain.addNoun(text, type, metadata)
// NEW v3.x:
await brain.add({ data: text, type, metadata })
// OLD v2.x:
// await brain.getNouns({ pagination: { limit: 100 } })
// NEW v3.x:
await brain.find({ limit: 100 })
// OLD v2.x:
// await brain.addVerb(sourceId, targetId, verbType, metadata)
// NEW v3.x:
await brain.relate({ from: sourceId, to: targetId, type: verbType, metadata })
// OLD v2.x:
// await brain.searchText(query)
// NEW v3.x:
await brain.find(query) // More powerful natural language search
```
## 🚀 Performance Patterns
### ✅ **High-Performance Patterns**
```typescript
// ✅ Pattern 1: Batch operations
const entities = [/* large array */]
const batchSize = 100
for (let i = 0; i < entities.length; i += batchSize) {
const batch = entities.slice(i, i + batchSize)
await Promise.all(
batch.map(entity => brain.add(entity))
)
// Optional: Rate limiting
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 100))
}
// ✅ Pattern 2: Connection pooling for distributed
const brain = new Brainy({
distributed: true,
connectionPool: {
min: 5,
max: 50,
acquireTimeoutMillis: 30000
}
})
// ✅ Pattern 3: Efficient caching
const brain = new Brainy({
cache: {
maxSize: 10000, // Number of items
ttl: 300000, // 5 minutes
updateAgeOnGet: true // LRU behavior
}
})
// ✅ Pattern 4: Memory-conscious operations
const results = await brain.find({
query: "large dataset query",
limit: 1000, // Reasonable limit
includeVectors: false // Exclude vectors if not needed
})
```
## 🛡️ Error Handling Patterns
### ✅ **Robust Error Handling**
```typescript
// ✅ Pattern 1: Specific error handling
try {
const result = await brain.add({ data, type, metadata })
return result
} catch (error) {
if (error.code === 'DUPLICATE_ENTITY') {
console.log('Entity already exists, updating instead...')
return await brain.update(error.existingId, { data, metadata })
} else if (error.code === 'STORAGE_FULL') {
throw new Error('Storage capacity exceeded')
} else if (error.code === 'EMBEDDING_FAILED') {
console.warn('Embedding failed, retrying with simpler text...')
return await brain.add({
data: data.substring(0, 1000), // Truncate
type,
metadata
})
}
throw error
}
// ✅ Pattern 2: Retry with exponential backoff
async function resilientAdd(data: any, maxRetries = 3) {
for (let attempt = 1; attempt <= maxRetries; attempt++) {
try {
return await brain.add(data)
} catch (error) {
if (attempt === maxRetries) throw error
const delay = Math.pow(2, attempt) * 1000
console.warn(`Attempt ${attempt} failed, retrying in ${delay}ms...`)
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delay))
}
}
}
// ✅ Pattern 3: Graceful degradation
async function robustSearch(query: string) {
try {
// Try advanced semantic search first
return await brain.find({
like: query,
threshold: 0.8,
limit: 50
})
} catch (error) {
console.warn('Semantic search failed, falling back to basic search:', error.message)
try {
// Fallback to simple text search
return await brain.find(query)
} catch (fallbackError) {
console.error('All search methods failed:', fallbackError.message)
return [] // Return empty results rather than crash
}
}
}
```
## 📊 Monitoring Patterns
### ✅ **Production Monitoring**
```typescript
// ✅ Pattern 1: Performance monitoring
const startTime = Date.now()
const result = await brain.add(data)
const duration = Date.now() - startTime
if (duration > 1000) {
console.warn(`Slow add operation: ${duration}ms`)
}
// ✅ Pattern 2: Health checks
async function healthCheck() {
try {
// Test basic operations
const testId = await brain.add({
data: "health check",
type: NounType.System,
metadata: { test: true }
})
await brain.get(testId)
await brain.delete(testId)
return { status: 'healthy', timestamp: Date.now() }
} catch (error) {
return {
status: 'unhealthy',
error: error.message,
timestamp: Date.now()
}
}
}
// ✅ Pattern 3: Metrics collection
class BrainyMetrics {
private metrics = {
operations: 0,
errors: 0,
totalTime: 0
}
async timedOperation<T>(operation: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T> {
const start = Date.now()
try {
const result = await operation()
this.metrics.operations++
this.metrics.totalTime += Date.now() - start
return result
} catch (error) {
this.metrics.errors++
throw error
}
}
getStats() {
return {
...this.metrics,
avgTime: this.metrics.totalTime / this.metrics.operations || 0,
errorRate: this.metrics.errors / this.metrics.operations || 0
}
}
}
```

# Data Model
> How Brainy stores entities and relationships, and the critical distinction between `data` and `metadata`.
---
## Entity (Noun)
An entity is the fundamental data unit in Brainy. Every entity has:
| Field | Type | Indexed | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `id` | `string` | Primary key | UUID v4 (auto-generated or custom) |
| `data` | `any` | **HNSW vector index** | Content used for semantic/hybrid search. Strings auto-embed. |
| `metadata` | `object` | **MetadataIndex** | Structured queryable fields (tags, dates, flags, etc.) |
| `type` | `NounType` | MetadataIndex (as `noun`) | Entity type classification |
| `vector` | `number[]` | HNSW | 384-dim embedding (auto-computed from `data` or user-provided) |
| `confidence` | `number` | MetadataIndex | Type classification confidence (0-1) |
| `weight` | `number` | MetadataIndex | Entity importance/salience (0-1) |
| `service` | `string` | MetadataIndex | Multi-tenancy identifier |
| `createdAt` | `number` | MetadataIndex | Creation timestamp (ms since epoch) |
| `updatedAt` | `number` | MetadataIndex | Last update timestamp (ms since epoch) |
| `createdBy` | `object` | MetadataIndex | Source augmentation info |
### Example
```typescript
const id = await brain.add({
data: 'John Smith is a software engineer at Acme Corp', // → embedded into vector
type: NounType.Person,
metadata: { // → indexed, queryable via where filters
role: 'engineer',
department: 'backend',
yearsExperience: 8
},
confidence: 0.95,
weight: 0.7
})
```
---
## Relationship (Verb)
A relationship is a typed, directed edge connecting two entities.
| Field | Type | Indexed | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `id` | `string` | Primary key | UUID v4 (auto-generated) |
| `from` | `string` | **GraphAdjacencyIndex** | Source entity ID |
| `to` | `string` | **GraphAdjacencyIndex** | Target entity ID |
| `type` | `VerbType` | GraphAdjacencyIndex (as `verb`) | Relationship type classification |
| `data` | `any` | — | Opaque content (overrides auto-computed vector if provided) |
| `metadata` | `object` | — | Structured fields on the edge |
| `weight` | `number` | — | Connection strength (0-1, default: 1.0) |
| `confidence` | `number` | — | Relationship certainty (0-1) |
| `evidence` | `RelationEvidence` | — | Why this relationship was detected |
| `createdAt` | `number` | — | Creation timestamp (ms since epoch) |
| `updatedAt` | `number` | — | Last update timestamp (ms since epoch) |
| `service` | `string` | — | Multi-tenancy identifier |
### Example
```typescript
const relId = await brain.relate({
from: personId,
to: projectId,
type: VerbType.WorksOn,
data: 'Lead engineer on the AI module', // Optional: content for this edge
metadata: { // Optional: queryable edge fields
role: 'lead',
startDate: '2024-01-15'
},
weight: 0.9
})
```
---
## Data vs Metadata
This is the most important concept in Brainy's storage model:
### `data` — Content for Semantic Search
- Embedded into a 384-dimensional vector via the WASM embedding engine
- Searchable via **semantic similarity** (HNSW vector index) and **hybrid text+semantic** search
- Queried by passing `query` to `find()`:
```typescript
brain.find({ query: 'machine learning algorithms' })
```
- **NOT** indexed by MetadataIndex — you cannot use `where` filters on `data`
- Stored opaquely: strings, objects, numbers — anything goes
### `metadata` — Structured Queryable Fields
- Indexed by MetadataIndex with O(1) lookups per field
- Queryable via `where` filters using [BFO operators](./QUERY_OPERATORS.md):
```typescript
brain.find({
where: {
department: 'engineering',
yearsExperience: { greaterThan: 5 },
tags: { contains: 'senior' }
}
})
```
- **NOT** used for vector/semantic search
- Must be a flat or lightly nested object
### Quick Reference
| | `data` | `metadata` |
|---|---|---|
| **Purpose** | Content for embedding / semantic search | Structured fields for filtering |
| **Searched by** | `find({ query })` — vector similarity, hybrid text+semantic | `find({ where })` — exact, range, set operators |
| **Indexed by** | HNSW vector index | MetadataIndex |
| **Queryable with operators?** | No | Yes (`equals`, `greaterThan`, `oneOf`, etc.) |
| **Auto-embedded?** | Yes (strings → 384-dim vectors) | No |
| **Typical content** | Text descriptions, document content | Tags, dates, status flags, categories, numeric fields |
### Common Pattern
```typescript
// Add an article
await brain.add({
data: 'A deep dive into transformer architectures and attention mechanisms',
type: NounType.Document,
metadata: {
title: 'Transformer Deep Dive',
author: 'Dr. Chen',
publishedYear: 2024,
tags: ['AI', 'transformers', 'NLP'],
status: 'published'
}
})
// Search by content (semantic — searches data)
const results = await brain.find({ query: 'neural network attention' })
// Filter by fields (exact — queries metadata)
const recent = await brain.find({
where: {
publishedYear: { greaterThan: 2023 },
status: 'published'
}
})
// Combine both (Triple Intelligence)
const precise = await brain.find({
query: 'attention mechanisms', // Semantic search on data
where: { author: 'Dr. Chen' }, // Metadata filter
connected: { from: authorId, depth: 1 } // Graph traversal
})
```
---
## Storage Field Naming
Internally, Brainy uses different field names in storage vs the public API:
| Public API (Entity/Relation) | Storage (metadata object) | Notes |
|------------------------------|--------------------------|-------|
| `type` | `noun` | Entity type stored as `noun` |
| `from` | `sourceId` | Relationship source |
| `to` | `targetId` | Relationship target |
| `type` (on Relation) | `verb` | Relationship type stored as `verb` |
When querying with `find()`, you can use:
- `type` parameter (convenience alias, equivalent to `where.noun`)
- `where.noun` directly
```typescript
// These are equivalent:
brain.find({ type: NounType.Person })
brain.find({ where: { noun: NounType.Person } })
```
---
## Standard Metadata Fields
When you add an entity, Brainy stores these standard fields in the metadata object alongside your custom fields:
| Field | Set By | Description |
|-------|--------|-------------|
| `noun` | System | Entity type (NounType enum value) |
| `data` | System | The raw `data` value (stored opaquely) |
| `createdAt` | System | Creation timestamp |
| `updatedAt` | System | Last update timestamp |
| `confidence` | User | Type classification confidence |
| `weight` | User | Entity importance |
| `service` | User | Multi-tenancy identifier |
| `createdBy` | User/System | Source augmentation |
On read, these standard fields are extracted to top-level Entity properties. The `metadata` field on the returned Entity contains **only your custom fields**.

# Metadata Contract Implementation Plan
## New Required Interface
```typescript
export interface BrainyAugmentation {
// Identity
name: string
timing: 'before' | 'after' | 'around' | 'replace'
operations: string[]
priority: number
// REQUIRED metadata contract
metadata: 'none' | 'readonly' | MetadataAccess
// Methods
initialize(context: AugmentationContext): Promise<void>
execute<T = any>(operation: string, params: any, next: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T>
shouldExecute?(operation: string, params: any): boolean
shutdown?(): Promise<void>
}
interface MetadataAccess {
reads?: string[] | '*' // Fields to read, or '*' for all
writes?: string[] | '*' // Fields to write, or '*' for all
namespace?: string // Optional: custom namespace like '_myAug'
}
```
## Augmentation Analysis & Classification
### Category 1: No Metadata Access ('none')
These augmentations don't read or write metadata at all:
1. **CacheAugmentation** - Only caches search results
2. **RequestDeduplicatorAugmentation** - Only deduplicates requests
3. **ConnectionPoolAugmentation** - Only manages storage connections
4. **StorageAugmentation** - Base storage layer, metadata handled by Brainy
### Category 2: Read-Only Access ('readonly')
These augmentations read metadata but never modify it:
6. **IndexAugmentation** - Reads metadata to build indexes
7. **MonitoringAugmentation** - Reads metadata for monitoring
8. **MetricsAugmentation** - Reads metadata for metrics collection
9. **BatchProcessingAugmentation** - Reads metadata to check for external IDs
10. **EntityRegistryAugmentation** - Reads metadata to register entities
11. **AutoRegisterEntitiesAugmentation** - Reads metadata for auto-registration
12. **ConduitAugmentation** - Reads metadata to pass through operations
### Category 3: Metadata Writers (needs specific access)
These augmentations modify metadata and need specific field declarations:
13. **SynapseAugmentation** - Writes to '_synapse' field
```typescript
metadata: {
reads: '*',
writes: ['_synapse', '_synapseTimestamp'],
namespace: '_synapse' // Uses its own namespace
}
```
14. **IntelligentVerbScoringAugmentation** - Adds scoring to verbs
```typescript
metadata: {
reads: ['type', 'verb', 'source', 'target'],
writes: ['weight', 'confidence', 'intelligentScoring']
}
```
15. **ServerSearchAugmentation** - Might add server metadata
```typescript
metadata: {
reads: '*',
writes: ['_server', '_syncedAt']
}
```
16. **NeuralImportAugmentation** - Enriches imported data
```typescript
metadata: {
reads: '*',
writes: ['nounType', 'verbType', '_importedAt', '_enriched']
}
```
### Category 4: API/Server (needs analysis)
17. **ApiServerAugmentation** - Likely read-only for serving data
18. **StorageAugmentations** (plural) - Collection of storage implementations
19. **ConduitAugmentations** (plural) - Collection of conduit types
## Implementation Steps
### Phase 1: Update Base Interface
1. Update `BrainyAugmentation` interface to require `metadata` field
2. Update `BaseAugmentation` class to have abstract `metadata` property
3. Add runtime enforcement in augmentation executor
### Phase 2: Update Each Augmentation
For each augmentation, add the appropriate metadata declaration:
#### Example Updates:
**CacheAugmentation:**
```typescript
export class CacheAugmentation extends BaseAugmentation {
readonly name = 'cache'
readonly metadata = 'none' as const // ✅ No metadata access
// ... rest unchanged
}
```
```typescript
readonly metadata = 'readonly' as const // ✅ Only reads for logging
// ... rest unchanged
}
```
**SynapseAugmentation:**
```typescript
export abstract class SynapseAugmentation extends BaseAugmentation {
readonly name = 'synapse'
readonly metadata = {
reads: '*',
writes: ['_synapse', '_synapseTimestamp'],
namespace: '_synapse'
} as const
// ... rest unchanged
}
```
### Phase 3: Runtime Enforcement
Add a metadata access enforcer that:
1. Wraps metadata objects based on declared access
2. Throws errors if augmentation violates its contract
3. Logs warnings in development mode
```typescript
class MetadataEnforcer {
enforce(augmentation: BrainyAugmentation, metadata: any): any {
if (augmentation.metadata === 'none') {
return null // No access at all
}
if (augmentation.metadata === 'readonly') {
return Object.freeze(deepClone(metadata)) // Read-only copy
}
// For specific access, create proxy that validates
return new Proxy(metadata, {
set(target, prop, value) {
const access = augmentation.metadata as MetadataAccess
if (!access.writes?.includes(String(prop)) && access.writes !== '*') {
throw new Error(`Augmentation '${augmentation.name}' cannot write to field '${String(prop)}'`)
}
target[prop] = value
return true
}
})
}
}
```
## Benefits
1. **Type Safety** - TypeScript enforces metadata declaration
2. **Runtime Safety** - Violations caught immediately
3. **Documentation** - Contract shows exactly what each augmentation does
4. **Brain-cloud Ready** - Registry can validate augmentations
5. **Developer Friendly** - Most use simple 'none' or 'readonly'
## Migration Checklist
- [ ] Update BrainyAugmentation interface
- [ ] Update BaseAugmentation class
- [ ] Add MetadataEnforcer
- [ ] Update all 19 augmentations with metadata declarations
- [ ] Add tests for metadata enforcement
- [ ] Update documentation

# 🧠 Neural API Patterns: AI-Powered Intelligence
> Learn the correct patterns for Brainy's Neural API. Avoid performance pitfalls and use AI features effectively.
## 🚨 Critical: Access Neural APIs Correctly
### ❌ **WRONG - Outdated Access Patterns**
```typescript
// DON'T DO THIS - Outdated documentation patterns
import { Brainy } from '@soulcraft/brainy' // ❌ Wrong import
const brain = new Brainy() // ❌ Old class name
// These may not work as expected:
const neural = brain.neural // ❌ May be undefined
```
### ✅ **CORRECT - Modern Neural Access**
```typescript
// ✅ Use modern Brainy class
import { Brainy } from '@soulcraft/brainy'
const brain = new Brainy()
await brain.init()
// ✅ Neural API is available after initialization
const clusters = await brain.neural.clusters()
const similarity = await brain.neural.similar('item1', 'item2')
```
## 🔍 Similarity Analysis Patterns
### ❌ **WRONG - Inefficient Similarity Checks**
```typescript
// DON'T DO THIS - N² comparisons
const items = await brain.find({ limit: 1000 })
const similarities = []
for (const item1 of items) {
for (const item2 of items) {
if (item1.id !== item2.id) {
const sim = await brain.neural.similar(item1.id, item2.id) // ❌ Millions of calls
similarities.push({ from: item1.id, to: item2.id, score: sim })
}
}
}
```
### ✅ **CORRECT - Efficient Similarity Patterns**
```typescript
// ✅ Pattern 1: Find neighbors (much more efficient)
const item = await brain.get('target-item-id')
const neighbors = await brain.neural.neighbors(item.id, {
limit: 10, // Top 10 most similar
threshold: 0.7, // Minimum similarity
includeScores: true // Include similarity scores
})
console.log(`Found ${neighbors.length} similar items`)
// ✅ Pattern 2: Batch similarity for specific pairs
const itemPairs = [
['item1', 'item2'],
['item1', 'item3'],
['item2', 'item3']
]
const similarities = await Promise.all(
itemPairs.map(async ([a, b]) => ({
from: a,
to: b,
score: await brain.neural.similar(a, b)
}))
)
// ✅ Pattern 3: Text-to-text similarity (no need for IDs)
const textSimilarity = await brain.neural.similar(
"Machine learning is fascinating",
"AI and deep learning are interesting",
{ detailed: true } // Get explanation of similarity
)
console.log(`Similarity: ${textSimilarity.score}`)
console.log(`Explanation: ${textSimilarity.explanation}`)
// ✅ Pattern 4: Vector-level similarity for optimization
const vector1 = await brain.embed("First concept")
const vector2 = await brain.embed("Second concept")
const vectorSimilarity = await brain.neural.similar(vector1, vector2)
```
## 🎯 Clustering Patterns
### ❌ **WRONG - Uncontrolled Clustering**
```typescript
// DON'T DO THIS - Clustering everything without limits
const everything = await brain.find({ limit: 100000 }) // ❌ Too much data
const clusters = await brain.neural.clusters() // ❌ May crash or timeout
```
### ✅ **CORRECT - Smart Clustering Patterns**
```typescript
// ✅ Pattern 1: Controlled clustering with limits
const recentItems = await brain.find({
where: {
createdAt: { $gte: Date.now() - 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 } // Last 30 days
},
limit: 1000 // Reasonable limit
})
const clusters = await brain.neural.clusters(
recentItems.map(item => item.id),
{
algorithm: 'kmeans', // Reliable algorithm
maxClusters: 10, // Reasonable number
threshold: 0.75, // High similarity required
iterations: 50 // Convergence limit
}
)
// ✅ Pattern 2: Domain-specific clustering
const techDocs = await brain.find({
where: { category: 'technology', type: 'document' },
limit: 500
})
const techClusters = await brain.neural.clusterByDomain(
'category', // Group by this field
{
items: techDocs.map(doc => doc.id),
minClusterSize: 3, // Minimum items per cluster
maxClusters: 8
}
)
// ✅ Pattern 3: Temporal clustering for time-series data
const timebasedClusters = await brain.neural.clusterByTime(
'createdAt', // Time field
'week', // Time window (hour, day, week, month)
{
items: recentItems.map(item => item.id),
overlap: 0.2, // 20% overlap between windows
minPerWindow: 5 // Minimum items per time window
}
)
// ✅ Pattern 4: Streaming clustering for large datasets
async function clusterLargeDataset() {
const clusterStream = brain.neural.clusterStream({
batchSize: 100, // Process 100 items at a time
updateInterval: 1000, // Update clusters every 1000 items
maxMemory: 512 * 1024 * 1024 // 512MB memory limit
})
const allClusters = []
for await (const batch of clusterStream) {
console.log(`Processed ${batch.processed} items, found ${batch.clusters.length} clusters`)
allClusters.push(...batch.clusters)
}
return allClusters
}
```
## 🔍 Neighbor Discovery Patterns
### ❌ **WRONG - Manual Similarity Searches**
```typescript
// DON'T DO THIS - Reinventing neighbor search
async function findSimilarManually(targetId: string) {
const allItems = await brain.find({ limit: 10000 }) // ❌ Load everything
const similarities = []
for (const item of allItems) {
if (item.id !== targetId) {
const score = await brain.neural.similar(targetId, item.id) // ❌ Slow
if (score > 0.7) {
similarities.push({ id: item.id, score })
}
}
}
return similarities.sort((a, b) => b.score - a.score).slice(0, 10) // ❌ Inefficient
}
```
### ✅ **CORRECT - Optimized Neighbor Patterns**
```typescript
// ✅ Pattern 1: Basic neighbor search
const neighbors = await brain.neural.neighbors('target-item-id', {
limit: 20, // Top 20 neighbors
threshold: 0.6, // Minimum similarity
includeMetadata: true, // Include item metadata
includeDistances: true // Include exact similarity scores
})
// ✅ Pattern 2: Filtered neighbor search
const filteredNeighbors = await brain.neural.neighbors('article-id', {
limit: 10,
filter: {
type: 'document', // Only find similar documents
status: 'published', // Only published content
language: 'en' // Only English content
},
excludeIds: ['self-id', 'duplicate-id'] // Exclude specific items
})
// ✅ Pattern 3: Multi-level neighbor discovery
async function discoverNeighborNetwork(rootId: string, maxDepth = 2) {
const network = new Map()
const visited = new Set()
const queue = [{ id: rootId, depth: 0 }]
while (queue.length > 0) {
const { id, depth } = queue.shift()!
if (visited.has(id) || depth >= maxDepth) continue
visited.add(id)
const neighbors = await brain.neural.neighbors(id, {
limit: 5,
threshold: 0.8
})
network.set(id, neighbors)
// Add neighbors to queue for next depth level
if (depth < maxDepth - 1) {
neighbors.forEach(neighbor => {
queue.push({ id: neighbor.id, depth: depth + 1 })
})
}
}
return network
}
// ✅ Pattern 4: Recommendation engine
async function getRecommendations(userId: string) {
// Get user's liked items
const userItems = await brain.find({
connected: { to: userId, via: 'liked-by' }
})
// Find neighbors for each liked item
const allNeighbors = await Promise.all(
userItems.map(item =>
brain.neural.neighbors(item.id, {
limit: 10,
threshold: 0.7,
excludeConnected: { to: userId, via: 'liked-by' } // Exclude already liked
})
)
)
// Aggregate and rank recommendations
const recommendations = new Map()
allNeighbors.flat().forEach(neighbor => {
const current = recommendations.get(neighbor.id) || { score: 0, count: 0 }
current.score += neighbor.score
current.count += 1
recommendations.set(neighbor.id, current)
})
// Return top recommendations by average score
return Array.from(recommendations.entries())
.map(([id, stats]) => ({
id,
avgScore: stats.score / stats.count,
mentions: stats.count
}))
.sort((a, b) => b.avgScore - a.avgScore)
.slice(0, 10)
}
```
## 🏗️ Hierarchy & Structure Patterns
### ❌ **WRONG - Manual Hierarchy Building**
```typescript
// DON'T DO THIS - Building hierarchies manually
async function buildHierarchyManually(rootId: string) {
const root = await brain.get(rootId)
const allItems = await brain.find({ limit: 1000 }) // ❌ Load everything
// Manual tree building with nested loops
const hierarchy = { root, children: [] }
// ... complex manual logic
}
```
### ✅ **CORRECT - Semantic Hierarchy Patterns**
```typescript
// ✅ Pattern 1: Automatic semantic hierarchy
const hierarchy = await brain.neural.hierarchy('root-concept-id', {
maxDepth: 4, // Maximum tree depth
minSimilarity: 0.6, // Minimum similarity for inclusion
branchingFactor: 5, // Maximum children per node
algorithm: 'semantic' // Use semantic clustering
})
// ✅ Pattern 2: Domain-specific hierarchy
const techHierarchy = await brain.neural.hierarchy('technology-id', {
filter: { category: 'technology' },
weights: {
semantic: 0.7, // 70% based on content similarity
metadata: 0.3 // 30% based on metadata similarity
},
includeMetrics: true // Include hierarchy quality metrics
})
// ✅ Pattern 3: Multi-root hierarchy for complex domains
async function buildMultiRootHierarchy(rootIds: string[]) {
const hierarchies = await Promise.all(
rootIds.map(rootId =>
brain.neural.hierarchy(rootId, {
maxDepth: 3,
crossReference: true // Allow cross-hierarchy connections
})
)
)
// Merge hierarchies and find connections
const merged = {
roots: hierarchies,
connections: await findCrossHierarchyConnections(hierarchies)
}
return merged
}
async function findCrossHierarchyConnections(hierarchies: any[]) {
const connections = []
for (let i = 0; i < hierarchies.length; i++) {
for (let j = i + 1; j < hierarchies.length; j++) {
const leafNodes1 = extractLeafNodes(hierarchies[i])
const leafNodes2 = extractLeafNodes(hierarchies[j])
// Find connections between leaf nodes of different hierarchies
for (const leaf1 of leafNodes1) {
const neighbors = await brain.neural.neighbors(leaf1.id, {
limit: 5,
threshold: 0.8,
filter: { id: { $in: leafNodes2.map(l => l.id) } }
})
connections.push(...neighbors.map(n => ({
from: leaf1.id,
to: n.id,
hierarchyPair: [i, j],
similarity: n.score
})))
}
}
}
return connections
}
```
## 🚨 Outlier Detection Patterns
### ❌ **WRONG - Manual Outlier Detection**
```typescript
// DON'T DO THIS - Manual statistical outlier detection
async function findOutliersManually() {
const items = await brain.find({ limit: 1000 })
const similarities = []
// Calculate average similarity for each item (expensive)
for (const item of items) {
let totalSim = 0
let count = 0
for (const other of items) {
if (item.id !== other.id) {
totalSim += await brain.neural.similar(item.id, other.id) // ❌ N² operations
count++
}
}
similarities.push({ id: item.id, avgSimilarity: totalSim / count })
}
// Manual outlier calculation
const threshold = calculateManualThreshold(similarities) // ❌ Complex statistics
return similarities.filter(s => s.avgSimilarity < threshold)
}
```
### ✅ **CORRECT - AI-Powered Outlier Detection**
```typescript
// ✅ Pattern 1: Automatic outlier detection
const outliers = await brain.neural.outliers({
threshold: 0.3, // Items with < 30% avg similarity to others
method: 'isolation-forest', // AI-based outlier detection
contamination: 0.1, // Expect ~10% outliers
includeReasons: true // Explain why each item is an outlier
})
console.log(`Found ${outliers.length} outliers`)
outliers.forEach(outlier => {
console.log(`Outlier: ${outlier.id}, Score: ${outlier.score}`)
console.log(`Reason: ${outlier.reason}`)
})
// ✅ Pattern 2: Domain-specific outlier detection
const techOutliers = await brain.neural.outliers({
filter: { category: 'technology' },
features: ['content', 'metadata.tags', 'metadata.complexity'],
method: 'local-outlier-factor',
neighbors: 20 // Consider 20 nearest neighbors
})
// ✅ Pattern 3: Temporal outlier detection
const recentOutliers = await brain.neural.outliers({
timeWindow: '7days', // Look at last 7 days
baseline: '30days', // Compare to 30-day baseline
method: 'statistical', // Use statistical methods
autoThreshold: true // Automatically determine threshold
})
// ✅ Pattern 4: Streaming outlier detection
async function detectOutliersInStream() {
const outlierStream = brain.neural.outlierStream({
batchSize: 50,
updateInterval: 100, // Check every 100 new items
adaptiveThreshold: true // Threshold adapts as data changes
})
for await (const batch of outlierStream) {
console.log(`Batch ${batch.batchNumber}: ${batch.outliers.length} outliers detected`)
// Process outliers immediately
for (const outlier of batch.outliers) {
await handleOutlier(outlier)
}
}
}
async function handleOutlier(outlier: any) {
// Flag for manual review
await brain.update(outlier.id, {
metadata: {
flagged: true,
outlierScore: outlier.score,
outlierReason: outlier.reason,
flaggedAt: Date.now()
}
})
}
```
## 📊 Visualization Patterns
### ❌ **WRONG - Manual Visualization Data Preparation**
```typescript
// DON'T DO THIS - Manual coordinate calculation
async function prepareVisualizationManually() {
const items = await brain.find({ limit: 500 })
const coordinates = []
// Manual dimensionality reduction (complex math)
for (const item of items) {
const vector = await brain.embed(item.data)
// Complex PCA/t-SNE calculations manually
const x = complexMathFunction(vector) // ❌ Error-prone
const y = anotherComplexFunction(vector)
coordinates.push({ id: item.id, x, y })
}
return coordinates
}
```
### ✅ **CORRECT - AI-Powered Visualization**
```typescript
// ✅ Pattern 1: Automatic 2D visualization
const visualization = await brain.neural.visualize({
dimensions: 2, // 2D plot
algorithm: 'umap', // UMAP for better clustering preservation
maxItems: 1000, // Performance limit
includeMetadata: true, // Include item metadata in output
colorBy: 'cluster' // Color points by cluster membership
})
// Result format:
// {
// points: [{ id, x, y, cluster, metadata }, ...],
// clusters: [{ id, centroid: [x, y], members: [...] }, ...],
// stats: { stress, kruskalStress, trustworthiness }
// }
// ✅ Pattern 2: 3D visualization for complex data
const viz3D = await brain.neural.visualize({
dimensions: 3,
algorithm: 'tsne',
perplexity: 30, // t-SNE parameter
learningRate: 200, // t-SNE learning rate
iterations: 1000 // Number of optimization steps
})
// ✅ Pattern 3: Interactive visualization with filtering
const interactiveViz = await brain.neural.visualize({
filter: {
type: 'document',
createdAt: { $gte: Date.now() - 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 }
},
groupBy: 'category', // Group points by metadata field
showLabels: true, // Include text labels
labelField: 'title', // Field to use for labels
includeEdges: true, // Show connections between similar items
edgeThreshold: 0.8 // Only show high-similarity connections
})
// ✅ Pattern 4: Real-time visualization updates
class LiveVisualization {
private visualization: any = null
private updateInterval: NodeJS.Timeout | null = null
async start() {
// Initial visualization
this.visualization = await brain.neural.visualize({
dimensions: 2,
algorithm: 'umap',
maxItems: 500,
includeMetadata: true
})
// Update every 30 seconds
this.updateInterval = setInterval(async () => {
await this.update()
}, 30000)
}
async update() {
// Get recent items
const recentItems = await brain.find({
where: {
createdAt: { $gte: Date.now() - 30000 } // Last 30 seconds
},
limit: 50
})
if (recentItems.length > 0) {
// Incrementally update visualization
const updates = await brain.neural.updateVisualization(
this.visualization.id,
{
newItems: recentItems.map(item => item.id),
algorithm: 'incremental' // Faster incremental updates
}
)
this.visualization = { ...this.visualization, ...updates }
this.onUpdate(updates)
}
}
onUpdate(updates: any) {
// Emit updates to frontend
console.log(`Visualization updated: ${updates.newPoints.length} new points`)
}
stop() {
if (this.updateInterval) {
clearInterval(this.updateInterval)
}
}
}
```
## 🚀 Performance Optimization Patterns
### ✅ **High-Performance Neural Operations**
```typescript
// ✅ Pattern 1: Batch processing for similarity
async function batchSimilarityCalculation(itemPairs: Array<[string, string]>) {
const batchSize = 100
const results = []
for (let i = 0; i < itemPairs.length; i += batchSize) {
const batch = itemPairs.slice(i, i + batchSize)
const batchResults = await Promise.all(
batch.map(async ([a, b]) => ({
from: a,
to: b,
similarity: await brain.neural.similar(a, b)
}))
)
results.push(...batchResults)
// Progress reporting
console.log(`Processed ${Math.min(i + batchSize, itemPairs.length)}/${itemPairs.length} pairs`)
}
return results
}
// ✅ Pattern 2: Caching expensive operations
class NeuralCache {
private clusterCache = new Map()
private similarityCache = new Map()
private readonly TTL = 5 * 60 * 1000 // 5 minutes
async getClusters(options: any) {
const key = JSON.stringify(options)
const cached = this.clusterCache.get(key)
if (cached && Date.now() - cached.timestamp < this.TTL) {
return cached.data
}
const clusters = await brain.neural.clusters(undefined, options)
this.clusterCache.set(key, {
data: clusters,
timestamp: Date.now()
})
return clusters
}
async getSimilarity(id1: string, id2: string) {
// Create consistent cache key regardless of order
const key = [id1, id2].sort().join('-')
const cached = this.similarityCache.get(key)
if (cached && Date.now() - cached.timestamp < this.TTL) {
return cached.data
}
const similarity = await brain.neural.similar(id1, id2)
this.similarityCache.set(key, {
data: similarity,
timestamp: Date.now()
})
return similarity
}
}
// ✅ Pattern 3: Memory-efficient streaming
async function processLargeDatasetEfficiently() {
const stream = brain.neural.clusterStream({
batchSize: 50, // Small batches for memory efficiency
maxMemoryMB: 256, // Memory limit
diskCache: true, // Use disk for temporary storage
compression: true // Compress cached data
})
const results = []
let totalProcessed = 0
for await (const batch of stream) {
// Process batch immediately, don't accumulate in memory
const processedBatch = await processBatch(batch)
// Save to disk or send to another service
await saveBatchToDisk(processedBatch)
totalProcessed += batch.items.length
console.log(`Processed ${totalProcessed} items`)
// Clear memory
batch.items = null
}
return { totalProcessed }
}
// ✅ Pattern 4: Parallel processing with worker threads
async function parallelNeuralProcessing(items: string[]) {
const numWorkers = require('os').cpus().length
const batchSize = Math.ceil(items.length / numWorkers)
const workers = []
for (let i = 0; i < numWorkers; i++) {
const batch = items.slice(i * batchSize, (i + 1) * batchSize)
if (batch.length > 0) {
workers.push(processWorkerBatch(batch))
}
}
const results = await Promise.all(workers)
return results.flat()
}
async function processWorkerBatch(batch: string[]) {
// This would run in a worker thread in real implementation
return Promise.all(
batch.map(async itemId => {
const neighbors = await brain.neural.neighbors(itemId, { limit: 5 })
return { itemId, neighbors }
})
)
}
```

# Query Operators (BFO)
> Brainy Field Operators — the complete reference for `where` filters in `find()`.
All operators work with `find({ where: { ... } })` and filter on **metadata fields** (not `data`).
---
## Equality
| Operator | Alias | Description | Example |
|----------|-------|-------------|---------|
| `equals` | `eq`, `is` | Exact match | `{ status: { equals: 'active' } }` |
| `notEquals` | `ne`, `isNot` | Not equal | `{ status: { notEquals: 'deleted' } }` |
**Shorthand:** A bare value is treated as `equals`:
```typescript
// These are equivalent:
brain.find({ where: { status: 'active' } })
brain.find({ where: { status: { equals: 'active' } } })
```
---
## Comparison
| Operator | Alias | Description | Example |
|----------|-------|-------------|---------|
| `greaterThan` | `gt` | Greater than | `{ age: { greaterThan: 18 } }` |
| `greaterEqual` | `gte` | Greater or equal | `{ score: { greaterEqual: 90 } }` |
| `lessThan` | `lt` | Less than | `{ price: { lessThan: 100 } }` |
| `lessEqual` | `lte` | Less or equal | `{ rating: { lessEqual: 3 } }` |
| `between` | — | Inclusive range `[min, max]` | `{ year: { between: [2020, 2025] } }` |
```typescript
// Range query
const recent = await brain.find({
where: {
createdAt: { between: [Date.now() - 86400000, Date.now()] }
}
})
```
---
## Array / Set
| Operator | Alias | Description | Example |
|----------|-------|-------------|---------|
| `oneOf` | `in` | Value is one of the given options | `{ color: { oneOf: ['red', 'blue'] } }` |
| `noneOf` | — | Value is NOT one of the given options | `{ status: { noneOf: ['deleted', 'archived'] } }` |
| `contains` | — | Array field contains value | `{ tags: { contains: 'ai' } }` |
| `excludes` | — | Array field does NOT contain value | `{ tags: { excludes: 'spam' } }` |
| `hasAll` | — | Array field contains ALL listed values | `{ skills: { hasAll: ['js', 'ts'] } }` |
```typescript
// Find entities tagged with 'ai'
const aiEntities = await brain.find({
where: { tags: { contains: 'ai' } }
})
// Find entities of specific types
const people = await brain.find({
where: { noun: { oneOf: ['Person', 'Agent'] } }
})
```
---
## Existence
| Operator | Description | Example |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `exists: true` | Field exists (has any value) | `{ email: { exists: true } }` |
| `exists: false` | Field does NOT exist | `{ email: { exists: false } }` |
| `missing: true` | Field does NOT exist (alias for `exists: false`) | `{ email: { missing: true } }` |
| `missing: false` | Field exists (alias for `exists: true`) | `{ email: { missing: false } }` |
```typescript
// Find entities that have an email field
const withEmail = await brain.find({
where: { email: { exists: true } }
})
```
---
## Pattern (In-Memory Only)
These operators work via the in-memory filter path. They are applied **after** the indexed query, so use them with other indexed operators for best performance.
| Operator | Description | Example |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `matches` | Regex or string pattern match | `{ name: { matches: /^Dr\./ } }` |
| `startsWith` | String prefix | `{ name: { startsWith: 'John' } }` |
| `endsWith` | String suffix | `{ email: { endsWith: '@gmail.com' } }` |
```typescript
const doctors = await brain.find({
where: {
type: NounType.Person, // Indexed — fast
name: { startsWith: 'Dr.' } // In-memory — applied after
}
})
```
---
## Logical
Combine multiple conditions:
| Operator | Description | Example |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `allOf` | ALL sub-filters must match (AND) | `{ allOf: [{ status: 'active' }, { role: 'admin' }] }` |
| `anyOf` | ANY sub-filter must match (OR) | `{ anyOf: [{ role: 'admin' }, { role: 'owner' }] }` |
| `not` | Invert a filter | `{ not: { status: 'deleted' } }` |
```typescript
// Complex OR query
const adminsOrOwners = await brain.find({
where: {
anyOf: [
{ role: 'admin' },
{ role: 'owner' }
]
}
})
// NOT query
const notDeleted = await brain.find({
where: {
not: { status: 'deleted' }
}
})
// Combined AND + OR
const results = await brain.find({
where: {
allOf: [
{ department: 'engineering' },
{ anyOf: [
{ level: 'senior' },
{ yearsExperience: { greaterThan: 5 } }
]}
]
}
})
```
---
## Indexed vs In-Memory Operators
Brainy's MetadataIndex supports a subset of operators natively for O(1) field lookups. Other operators fall back to in-memory filtering.
| Operator | MetadataIndex (Indexed) | In-Memory Fallback |
|----------|:-----------------------:|:------------------:|
| `equals` / `eq` | Yes | Yes |
| `notEquals` / `ne` | — | Yes |
| `greaterThan` / `gt` | Yes | Yes |
| `greaterEqual` / `gte` | Yes | Yes |
| `lessThan` / `lt` | Yes | Yes |
| `lessEqual` / `lte` | Yes | Yes |
| `between` | Yes | Yes |
| `oneOf` / `in` | Yes | Yes |
| `noneOf` | — | Yes |
| `contains` | Yes | Yes |
| `exists` / `missing` | Yes | Yes |
| `matches` | — | Yes |
| `startsWith` | — | Yes |
| `endsWith` | — | Yes |
| `allOf` | Partial | Yes |
| `anyOf` | Partial | Yes |
| `not` | — | Yes |
**Performance tip:** Combine indexed operators (equals, greaterThan, oneOf, between, contains, exists) with pattern operators for optimal speed — the index narrows results first, then patterns filter in memory.
---
## Practical Examples
### Filter by entity type
```typescript
// Using the type shorthand (recommended)
brain.find({ type: NounType.Person })
// Using where.noun directly
brain.find({ where: { noun: NounType.Person } })
// Multiple types
brain.find({ type: [NounType.Person, NounType.Agent] })
```
### Combine semantic search with filters
```typescript
const results = await brain.find({
query: 'machine learning engineer', // Semantic search (on data)
type: NounType.Person, // Type filter (indexed)
where: {
department: 'engineering', // Exact match (indexed)
yearsExperience: { greaterThan: 3 } // Range filter (indexed)
},
limit: 10
})
```
### Temporal queries
```typescript
const lastWeek = Date.now() - 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000
const recentEntities = await brain.find({
where: {
createdAt: { greaterThan: lastWeek }
},
orderBy: 'createdAt',
order: 'desc',
limit: 50
})
```
### Graph + metadata combination
```typescript
const results = await brain.find({
connected: {
from: teamLeadId,
via: VerbType.WorksWith,
depth: 2
},
where: {
role: { oneOf: ['engineer', 'designer'] },
active: true
}
})
```

### 🌍 Natural Language Queries
Ask questions in plain English and Brainy understands your intent:
```typescript
await brain.find("recent articles about AI with high ratings")
```
### ⚡ Production Ready
- Universal storage (FileSystem, S3, OPFS, Memory)
- Zero configuration with intelligent defaults
- Full TypeScript support
- Cross-platform compatibility
## Quick Example
## Quick Start
```typescript
import { Brainy, NounType, VerbType } from '@soulcraft/brainy'
// Initialize
const brain = new Brainy()
await brain.init()
// Add entities (nouns)
const articleId = await brain.add({
data: "Revolutionary AI Breakthrough",
type: NounType.Document,
metadata: { category: "technology", rating: 4.8 }
// Add entities — data is embedded for semantic search, metadata is indexed for filtering
const id = await brain.add({
data: 'Revolutionary AI Breakthrough',
type: NounType.Document,
metadata: { category: 'technology', rating: 4.8 }
})
const authorId = await brain.add({
data: "Dr. Sarah Chen",
type: NounType.Person,
metadata: { role: "researcher" }
// Search with Triple Intelligence
const results = await brain.find({
query: 'artificial intelligence', // Semantic search (on data)
where: { rating: { greaterThan: 4.0 } }, // Metadata filter
connected: { from: authorId, depth: 2 } // Graph traversal
})
// Create relationships (verbs)
await brain.relate({
from: authorId,
to: articleId,
type: VerbType.CreatedBy,
metadata: { date: "2024-01-15", contribution: "primary" }
})
// Query naturally
const results = await brain.find("highly rated technology articles by researchers")
```

# Brainy Validation System
## Zero-Config Philosophy
Brainy's validation system automatically adapts to your system resources without any configuration. It enforces universal truths while dynamically adjusting limits based on available memory and observed performance.
## Core Principles
### 1. Universal Truths Only
We only validate things that are mathematically or logically impossible:
- Negative pagination values (there's no page -1)
- Probabilities outside 0-1 range
- Self-referential relationships
- Invalid enum values
### 2. Auto-Configuration
The system automatically configures based on:
- **Available Memory**: More RAM = higher limits
- **System Performance**: Adjusts based on query response times
- **Usage Patterns**: Learns from your actual workload
### 3. Performance Monitoring
Every query is monitored to tune future limits:
```typescript
// Automatic adjustment based on performance
if (avgQueryTime < 100ms && resultCount > 80% of limit) {
// Increase limits - system can handle more
maxLimit *= 1.5
} else if (avgQueryTime > 1000ms) {
// Reduce limits - system is struggling
maxLimit *= 0.8
}
```
## Validation Rules by Method
### `add(params: AddParams)`
**Required:**
- Either `data` or `vector` must be provided
- `type` must be a valid NounType enum
**Constraints:**
- `vector` must have exactly 384 dimensions (for all-MiniLM-L6-v2)
- Custom `id` must be unique
**Example:**
```typescript
// ✅ Valid
await brain.add({
data: "Hello world",
type: NounType.Document
})
// ✅ Valid - pre-computed vector
await brain.add({
vector: new Array(384).fill(0),
type: NounType.Document
})
// ❌ Invalid - missing both data and vector
await brain.add({
type: NounType.Document
})
// Error: "must provide either data or vector"
// ❌ Invalid - wrong vector dimensions
await brain.add({
vector: new Array(100).fill(0),
type: NounType.Document
})
// Error: "vector must have exactly 384 dimensions"
```
### `update(params: UpdateParams)`
**Required:**
- `id` must be provided
- At least one field must be updated
**Important Metadata Behavior:**
- `metadata: null` with `merge: false` → **Keeps existing metadata** (does nothing)
- `metadata: {}` with `merge: false` → **Clears metadata** ✅
- `metadata: undefined` → No change to metadata
**Example:**
```typescript
// ✅ Valid - update metadata
await brain.update({
id: "xyz",
metadata: { status: "published" }
})
// ✅ Valid - clear metadata properly
await brain.update({
id: "xyz",
metadata: {},
merge: false
})
// ❌ Invalid - null doesn't clear metadata
await brain.update({
id: "xyz",
metadata: null,
merge: false
})
// Error: "must specify at least one field to update"
// (because null metadata doesn't actually update anything)
// ❌ Invalid - no fields to update
await brain.update({
id: "xyz"
})
// Error: "must specify at least one field to update"
```
### `relate(params: RelateParams)`
**Required:**
- `from` entity ID
- `to` entity ID
- `type` must be valid VerbType enum
**Constraints:**
- `from` and `to` must be different (no self-loops)
- `weight` must be between 0 and 1
**Example:**
```typescript
// ✅ Valid
await brain.relate({
from: "entity1",
to: "entity2",
type: VerbType.RelatedTo
})
// ❌ Invalid - self-referential
await brain.relate({
from: "entity1",
to: "entity1",
type: VerbType.RelatedTo
})
// Error: "cannot create self-referential relationship"
// ❌ Invalid - weight out of range
await brain.relate({
from: "entity1",
to: "entity2",
type: VerbType.RelatedTo,
weight: 1.5
})
// Error: "weight must be between 0 and 1"
```
### `find(params: FindParams)`
**Constraints:**
- `limit` must be non-negative and below auto-configured maximum
- `offset` must be non-negative
- Cannot specify both `query` and `vector` (mutually exclusive)
- Cannot use both `cursor` and `offset` pagination
- `threshold` must be between 0 and 1
**Auto-Configured Limits:**
```typescript
// Based on available memory
// 1GB RAM → max limit: 10,000
// 8GB RAM → max limit: 80,000
// 16GB RAM → max limit: 100,000 (capped)
// Query length also scales with memory
// 1GB RAM → max query: 5,000 characters
// 8GB RAM → max query: 40,000 characters
```
**Example:**
```typescript
// ✅ Valid
await brain.find({
query: "machine learning",
limit: 50
})
// ❌ Invalid - negative limit
await brain.find({
query: "test",
limit: -1
})
// Error: "limit must be non-negative"
// ❌ Invalid - both query and vector
await brain.find({
query: "test",
vector: new Array(384).fill(0)
})
// Error: "cannot specify both query and vector - they are mutually exclusive"
// ❌ Invalid - exceeds auto-configured limit
await brain.find({
limit: 1000000
})
// Error: "limit exceeds auto-configured maximum of 80000 (based on available memory)"
```
## Auto-Configuration Details
### Memory-Based Scaling
The validation system checks available memory on initialization:
```typescript
const availableMemory = os.freemem()
// Scale limits based on available memory
maxLimit = Math.min(
100000, // Absolute maximum for safety
Math.floor(availableMemory / (1024 * 1024 * 100)) * 1000
)
// Scale query length similarly
maxQueryLength = Math.min(
50000,
Math.floor(availableMemory / (1024 * 1024 * 10)) * 1000
)
```
### Performance-Based Tuning
The system continuously monitors and adjusts:
1. **After each query**, performance is recorded
2. **Limits adjust** based on response times
3. **Gradual optimization** towards optimal throughput
### Checking Current Configuration
You can inspect the current validation configuration:
```typescript
import { getValidationConfig } from '@soulcraft/brainy/validation'
const config = getValidationConfig()
console.log(config)
// {
// maxLimit: 80000,
// maxQueryLength: 40000,
// maxVectorDimensions: 384,
// systemMemory: 17179869184,
// availableMemory: 8589934592
// }
```
## Best Practices
### 1. Clearing Metadata
```typescript
// ❌ Wrong - doesn't clear
await brain.update({ id, metadata: null, merge: false })
// ✅ Correct - actually clears
await brain.update({ id, metadata: {}, merge: false })
```
### 2. Type Safety
```typescript
// ❌ Wrong - string type
await brain.add({ data: "test", type: "document" })
// ✅ Correct - enum type
import { NounType } from '@soulcraft/brainy'
await brain.add({ data: "test", type: NounType.Document })
```
### 3. Pagination
```typescript
// ✅ Let the system auto-configure limits
const results = await brain.find({
query: "test",
limit: 100 // Will be capped at system maximum
})
// ✅ For large datasets, use pagination
let offset = 0
const pageSize = 1000
while (true) {
const results = await brain.find({
query: "test",
limit: pageSize,
offset
})
if (results.length === 0) break
offset += pageSize
}
```
## Error Messages
All validation errors are descriptive and actionable:
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| `"must provide either data or vector"` | Missing content in add() | Provide either data to embed or pre-computed vector |
| `"limit must be non-negative"` | Negative pagination | Use positive limit value |
| `"invalid NounType: xyz"` | Invalid enum value | Use valid NounType enum |
| `"cannot create self-referential relationship"` | from === to | Use different entity IDs |
| `"must specify at least one field to update"` | Empty update | Provide at least one field to change |
| `"vector must have exactly 384 dimensions"` | Wrong vector size | Use 384-dimensional vectors |
## Performance Impact
The validation system adds minimal overhead:
- **Validation time**: <1ms per operation
- **Memory usage**: ~1KB for configuration tracking
- **Auto-tuning**: Happens asynchronously, no blocking
## FAQ
**Q: Why can't I set metadata to null?**
A: Setting metadata to `null` with `merge: false` doesn't actually clear it - it falls back to existing metadata. Use `{}` to clear.
**Q: Why are my limits being reduced?**
A: If queries are taking >1 second, the system automatically reduces limits to maintain performance.
**Q: Can I override the auto-configured limits?**
A: No, this is by design. The system knows better than static configuration what your hardware can handle.
**Q: Why exactly 384 dimensions for vectors?**
A: Brainy uses the all-MiniLM-L6-v2 model which produces 384-dimensional embeddings. This ensures consistency.
## Summary
Brainy's validation system:
- ✅ **Zero configuration** - adapts to your system
- ✅ **Universal truths** - only prevents impossible operations
- ✅ **Performance aware** - adjusts based on actual performance
- ✅ **Type safe** - enforces enum types
- ✅ **Minimal overhead** - <1ms validation time
- ✅ **Clear errors** - actionable error messages
The philosophy is simple: prevent impossible operations, adapt to reality, and get out of the way.

# 🚀 Brainy Zero-Configuration Guide
## Overview
Starting with v2.10, Brainy introduces a **Zero-Configuration System** that automatically configures everything based on your environment. No more environment variables, no more complex configuration objects - just create and use.
## Quick Start
### True Zero Config
```typescript
import { Brainy } from '@soulcraft/brainy'
// That's it! Everything auto-configures
const brain = new Brainy()
await brain.init()
```
### Using Strongly-Typed Presets
```typescript
import { Brainy, PresetName } from '@soulcraft/brainy'
// Type-safe preset selection
const brain = new Brainy(PresetName.PRODUCTION)
await brain.init()
```
### Common Scenarios
#### Development
```typescript
const brain = new Brainy(PresetName.DEVELOPMENT)
// ✅ Filesystem storage for persistence
// ✅ FP32 models for best quality
// ✅ Verbose logging
// ✅ All features enabled
```
#### Production
```typescript
const brain = new Brainy(PresetName.PRODUCTION)
// ✅ Disk storage for persistence
// ✅ Auto-selected model precision
// ✅ Silent logging
// ✅ Optimized features
```
#### Minimal
```typescript
const brain = new Brainy(PresetName.MINIMAL)
// ✅ Filesystem storage
// ✅ Q8 models for small size
// ✅ Core features only
// ✅ Minimal resource usage
```
## Distributed Architecture Presets
Brainy includes specialized presets for distributed and microservice architectures:
### Basic Distributed Roles
```typescript
import { Brainy, PresetName } from '@soulcraft/brainy'
// Write-only instance (data ingestion)
const writer = new Brainy(PresetName.WRITER)
// ✅ Optimized for writes
// ✅ No search index loading
// ✅ Minimal memory usage
// Read-only instance (search API)
const reader = new Brainy(PresetName.READER)
// ✅ Optimized for search
// ✅ Lazy index loading
// ✅ Large cache
```
### Service-Specific Presets
```typescript
// High-throughput data ingestion
const ingestion = new Brainy(PresetName.INGESTION_SERVICE)
// Low-latency search API
const searchApi = new Brainy(PresetName.SEARCH_API)
// Analytics processing
const analytics = new Brainy(PresetName.ANALYTICS_SERVICE)
// Edge location cache
const edge = new Brainy(PresetName.EDGE_CACHE)
// Batch processing
const batch = new Brainy(PresetName.BATCH_PROCESSOR)
// Real-time streaming
const streaming = new Brainy(PresetName.STREAMING_SERVICE)
// ML training
const training = new Brainy(PresetName.ML_TRAINING)
// Lightweight sidecar
const sidecar = new Brainy(PresetName.SIDECAR)
```
## Model Precision Control
You can **explicitly specify** model precision when needed:
```typescript
import { ModelPrecision } from '@soulcraft/brainy'
// Force FP32 (full precision)
const brain = new Brainy({ model: ModelPrecision.FP32 })
// Force Q8 (quantized, smaller)
const brain = new Brainy({ model: ModelPrecision.Q8 })
// Use presets
const brain = new Brainy({ model: ModelPrecision.FAST }) // Maps to fp32
const brain = new Brainy({ model: ModelPrecision.SMALL }) // Maps to q8
// Auto-detection (default)
const brain = new Brainy({ model: ModelPrecision.AUTO })
```
### Auto-Detection Logic
When not specified, Brainy automatically selects the best model:
- **Browser**: Q8 (smaller download)
- **Serverless**: Q8 (faster cold starts)
- **Low Memory (<512MB)**: Q8
- **Development**: FP32 (best quality)
- **Production (>2GB RAM)**: FP32
- **Default**: Q8 (balanced)
## Storage Configuration
### Automatic Storage Detection
Brainy automatically detects the best storage option:
1. **Cloud Storage** (if credentials found)
- AWS S3 (checks AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_PROFILE)
- Google Cloud Storage (checks GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS)
- Cloudflare R2 (checks R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID)
2. **Browser Storage**
- OPFS (if supported)
- Filesystem fallback
3. **Node.js Storage**
- Filesystem (`./brainy-data` or `~/.brainy/data`)
### Manual Storage Control
```typescript
import { StorageOption } from '@soulcraft/brainy'
// Force specific storage with enum
const brain = new Brainy({ storage: StorageOption.DISK })
const brain = new Brainy({ storage: StorageOption.CLOUD })
const brain = new Brainy({ storage: StorageOption.AUTO })
// Custom storage configuration
const brain = new Brainy({
storage: {
s3Storage: {
bucket: 'my-bucket',
region: 'us-east-1'
}
}
})
```
## Feature Sets
Control which features are enabled:
```typescript
import { FeatureSet } from '@soulcraft/brainy'
// Preset feature sets with enum
const brain = new Brainy({ features: FeatureSet.MINIMAL }) // Core only
const brain = new Brainy({ features: FeatureSet.DEFAULT }) // Balanced
const brain = new Brainy({ features: FeatureSet.FULL }) // Everything
// Custom features
const brain = new Brainy({
features: ['core', 'search', 'cache', 'triple-intelligence']
})
```
## Simplified Configuration Interface
The new configuration is dramatically simpler:
```typescript
interface BrainyZeroConfig {
// Mode preset - now with distributed options
mode?: PresetName // All strongly typed presets
// Model configuration with enum
model?: ModelPrecision
// Storage configuration with enum
storage?: StorageOption | StorageConfig
// Feature set with enum
features?: FeatureSet | string[]
// Logging
verbose?: boolean
// Escape hatch for advanced users
advanced?: any
}
```
### Available Enums
```typescript
enum PresetName {
// Basic
PRODUCTION = 'production',
DEVELOPMENT = 'development',
MINIMAL = 'minimal',
ZERO = 'zero',
// Distributed
WRITER = 'writer',
READER = 'reader',
// Services
INGESTION_SERVICE = 'ingestion-service',
SEARCH_API = 'search-api',
ANALYTICS_SERVICE = 'analytics-service',
EDGE_CACHE = 'edge-cache',
BATCH_PROCESSOR = 'batch-processor',
STREAMING_SERVICE = 'streaming-service',
ML_TRAINING = 'ml-training',
SIDECAR = 'sidecar'
}
enum ModelPrecision {
FP32 = 'fp32',
Q8 = 'q8',
AUTO = 'auto',
FAST = 'fast', // Maps to fp32
SMALL = 'small' // Maps to q8
}
enum StorageOption {
AUTO = 'auto',
DISK = 'disk',
CLOUD = 'cloud'
}
enum FeatureSet {
MINIMAL = 'minimal',
DEFAULT = 'default',
FULL = 'full'
}
```
## Multi-Instance with Shared Storage
When multiple Brainy instances connect to the same storage (like S3), you **must ensure they use compatible configurations**:
```typescript
import { ModelPrecision } from '@soulcraft/brainy'
// Container A - Writer
const writer = new Brainy({
mode: PresetName.WRITER,
model: ModelPrecision.FP32, // ⚠️ MUST match across instances!
storage: { s3Storage: { bucket: 'shared-data' }}
})
// Container B - Reader
const reader = new Brainy({
mode: PresetName.READER,
model: ModelPrecision.FP32, // ✅ Matches Container A
storage: { s3Storage: { bucket: 'shared-data' }}
})
```
### Distributed Architecture Example
```typescript
// Ingestion Service (Writer)
const ingestion = new Brainy({
mode: PresetName.INGESTION_SERVICE,
model: ModelPrecision.Q8, // All instances must use Q8
storage: { s3Storage: { bucket: 'production-data' }}
})
// Search API (Reader)
const search = new Brainy({
mode: PresetName.SEARCH_API,
model: ModelPrecision.Q8, // Matches ingestion service
storage: { s3Storage: { bucket: 'production-data' }}
})
// Analytics (Hybrid)
const analytics = new Brainy({
mode: PresetName.ANALYTICS_SERVICE,
model: ModelPrecision.Q8, // Matches other services
storage: { s3Storage: { bucket: 'production-data' }}
})
```
## Migration from Old Configuration
### Before (Complex)
```typescript
const brain = new Brainy({
hnsw: {
M: 16,
efConstruction: 200,
seed: 42
},
storage: {
s3Storage: {
bucketName: 'my-bucket',
accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
secretAccessKey: process.env.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,
region: 'us-east-1'
},
cacheConfig: {
hotCacheMaxSize: 5000,
hotCacheEvictionThreshold: 0.8,
warmCacheTTL: 3600000,
batchSize: 100
}
},
cache: {
autoTune: true,
autoTuneInterval: 60000,
hotCacheMaxSize: 10000
},
embeddingFunction: customFunction,
readOnly: false,
logging: { verbose: true }
})
```
### After (Simple)
```typescript
const brain = new Brainy('production')
// Everything above is auto-configured!
```
## Environment Variables (No Longer Needed!)
These environment variables are **no longer required**:
- ❌ `BRAINY_ALLOW_REMOTE_MODELS` - Models auto-download when needed
- ❌ `BRAINY_MODELS_PATH` - Path auto-selected based on environment
- ❌ `BRAINY_Q8_CONFIRMED` - Warnings auto-suppressed in production
- ❌ `BRAINY_LOG_LEVEL` - Auto-set based on NODE_ENV
- ❌ AWS credentials - Use AWS SDK credential chain
## Performance Impact
The zero-config system has **zero performance overhead**:
- Configuration happens once during initialization
- Auto-detected values are cached
- Same optimized code paths as manual configuration
- Actually **faster** startup due to reduced parsing
## Troubleshooting
### Models Not Downloading
- Check internet connection
- Ensure firewall allows HTTPS to Hugging Face / CDN
- Run `npm run download-models` to pre-download
### Wrong Model Precision
- Explicitly specify: `{ model: 'fp32' }` or `{ model: 'q8' }`
- Check shared storage compatibility
### Storage Detection Issues
- Check cloud credentials are properly configured
- Verify write permissions for filesystem paths
- Use explicit storage configuration if needed
## Best Practices
1. **Use zero-config for single instances** - Let Brainy handle everything
2. **Specify precision for shared storage** - Ensure compatibility
3. **Use presets for common scenarios** - 'development', 'production', 'minimal'
4. **Override only what you need** - Start simple, add complexity only if required
## Summary
The new zero-config system reduces configuration from **100+ parameters** to **0-3 decisions**:
| Scenario | Old Config Lines | New Config Lines |
|----------|-----------------|------------------|
| Development | 50+ | 1 |
| Production | 100+ | 1 |
| Custom | 200+ | 3-5 |
**Result**: 95% less configuration, 100% of the power! 🚀

# Brainy API Return Values
## Core Operations
### `brain.add()` - Adding Entities
**Returns:** `Promise<string>` - The ID of the created entity
```typescript
// ✅ Correct usage - add() returns the ID string directly
const id = await brain.add({
type: 'document',
data: 'My document content'
})
console.log('Created entity with ID:', id)
// Use the ID to create relationships
await brain.relate({
from: id,
to: anotherId,
type: 'references'
})
```
```typescript
// ❌ Incorrect - trying to access .id property
const result = await brain.add({
type: 'document',
data: 'My content'
})
console.log(result.id) // ❌ undefined - result IS the ID, not an object!
```
### Getting the Full Entity
If you need the full entity object after creation, use `brain.get()`:
```typescript
// Add entity and get its ID
const id = await brain.add({
type: 'document',
data: 'My content',
metadata: { label: 'Important Doc' }
})
// Get the full entity
const entity = await brain.get(id)
console.log(entity.id) // The ID
console.log(entity.type) // 'document'
console.log(entity.data) // 'My content'
console.log(entity.metadata) // { label: 'Important Doc', ... }
console.log(entity.vector) // The embedding vector
console.log(entity.createdAt) // Timestamp
```
### `brain.find()` - Finding Entities
**Returns:** `Promise<Entity[]>` - Array of full entity objects
```typescript
const entities = await brain.find({
query: 'machine learning',
limit: 10
})
// Each entity has full information
for (const entity of entities) {
console.log(entity.id)
console.log(entity.type)
console.log(entity.data)
console.log(entity.metadata)
}
```
### `brain.relate()` - Creating Relationships
**Returns:** `Promise<string>` - The ID of the created relationship
```typescript
const relationId = await brain.relate({
from: entityId1,
to: entityId2,
type: 'references'
})
console.log('Created relationship with ID:', relationId)
```
## Data Field Behavior
### String Data - Used for Embeddings
When `data` is a string, it's used to generate embeddings for semantic search:
```typescript
await brain.add({
type: 'document',
data: 'This text will be converted to an embedding vector',
metadata: {
title: 'My Document',
year: 2024
}
})
```
### Object Data - Structured Information
When `data` is an object, it's treated as structured data:
```typescript
await brain.add({
type: 'product',
data: {
name: 'Widget',
price: 29.99,
category: 'Tools'
},
vector: precomputedVector // Must provide vector when using object data
})
```
**Important:** If you provide object data without a `vector`, you must include a string somewhere for embedding generation, or the operation will fail.
### Metadata vs Data
- **`data`**: Primary content - used for embeddings (if string) or stored as structured data (if object)
- **`metadata`**: Auxiliary information - always stored as structured data, used for filtering
**Best practice for labels:**
```typescript
await brain.add({
type: 'document',
data: 'The full text content of the document...', // For semantic search
metadata: {
label: 'Quick Reference Label', // For display
author: 'John Doe',
category: 'Technical'
}
})
```
## Summary
| Method | Returns | Contains |
|--------|---------|----------|
| `brain.add()` | `string` | The ID of the created entity |
| `brain.get()` | `Entity \| null` | Full entity object with all fields |
| `brain.find()` | `Entity[]` | Array of full entity objects |
| `brain.relate()` | `string` | The ID of the created relationship |
| `brain.getRelations()` | `Relation[]` | Array of relationship objects |

# Brainy Complete Public API Reference
> **Accurate API documentation for Brainy**
## Initialization
```typescript
import { Brainy, NounType, VerbType } from '@soulcraft/brainy'
// Zero-config (just works)
const brain = new Brainy()
await brain.init()
// With configuration
const brain = new Brainy({
storage: { type: 'memory' }, // or { path: './my-data' } for filesystem
embeddingModel: 'Q8', // Q4, Q8, F16, F32
silent: true // Suppress logs
})
await brain.init()
```
## Readiness API
For reliable initialization detection, especially in cloud environments with progressive initialization:
### `brain.ready` - Await Initialization
```typescript
const brain = new Brainy()
brain.init() // Fire and forget
// Elsewhere (e.g., API handler)
await brain.ready // Wait until init() completes
const results = await brain.find({ query: 'test' })
```
### `brain.isInitialized` - Check Basic Readiness
```typescript
if (brain.isInitialized) {
// Safe to use brain methods
}
```
### `brain.isFullyInitialized()` - Check Background Tasks
```typescript
// Returns true when ALL initialization is complete, including background tasks
// Useful for cloud storage adapters with progressive initialization
if (brain.isFullyInitialized()) {
console.log('All background tasks complete')
}
```
### `brain.awaitBackgroundInit()` - Wait for Background Tasks
```typescript
const brain = new Brainy({ storage: { type: 'gcs', ... } })
await brain.init() // Fast return in cloud (<200ms)
// Optional: wait for all background tasks (bucket validation, count sync)
await brain.awaitBackgroundInit()
console.log('Fully initialized including background tasks')
```
### Health Check Pattern
```typescript
app.get('/health', async (req, res) => {
try {
await brain.ready
res.json({

])
// Streaming clusters (for large datasets)
for await (const batch of neural.clusterStream({ batchSize: 100 })) {
console.log(`Progress: ${batch.progress.percentage}%`)
}
```
## Virtual File System (VFS)
Access via `brain.vfs`:
```typescript
const vfs = brain.vfs
await vfs.init()
// File operations
await vfs.writeFile('/docs/readme.md', '# Hello')
const content = await vfs.readFile('/docs/readme.md')
await vfs.unlink('/docs/readme.md')
// Directory operations
await vfs.mkdir('/project/src', { recursive: true })
const files = await vfs.readdir('/project')
await vfs.rmdir('/project', { recursive: true })
// Bulk operations
const result = await vfs.bulkWrite([
{ type: 'mkdir', path: '/data' },
{ type: 'write', path: '/data/config.json', data: '{}' },
{ type: 'write', path: '/data/users.json', data: '[]' }
])
// Note: mkdir operations run first (sequentially), then other ops in parallel
// Semantic search
const results = await vfs.search('authentication code', { path: '/src' })
// File metadata
const stats = await vfs.stat('/file.txt')
await vfs.setMetadata('/file.txt', { author: 'Alice' })
```
## Counts (O(1) Performance)
```typescript
// Entity counts
const total = brain.counts.entities()
const byType = await brain.counts.byType(NounType.Document)
const nonVFS = await brain.counts.byType({ excludeVFS: true })
// Relationship counts
const relations = brain.counts.relationships()
const byVerb = await brain.counts.byVerbType(VerbType.Contains)
```
## Versioning & Branching
```typescript
// Create branch
await brain.fork('feature-branch')
// List branches
const branches = await brain.listBranches()
// Switch branch
await brain.checkout('feature-branch')
// Get current branch
const current = await brain.getCurrentBranch()
// Commit changes
await brain.commit({ message: 'Added new features' })
// View history
const history = await brain.getHistory({ limit: 10 })
// Time travel (read-only snapshot)
const snapshot = await brain.asOf('commit-id')
```
## Streaming API
```typescript
// Stream all entities
for await (const entity of brain.streaming.entities()) {
console.log(entity.id)
}
// Stream with filters
for await (const entity of brain.streaming.entities({
type: NounType.Document,
where: { status: 'active' }
})) {
// Process each entity
}
// Stream relationships
for await (const relation of brain.streaming.relations({
from: 'entity-id'
})) {
console.log(relation)
}
```
## Pagination API
```typescript
// Paginated queries
const page1 = await brain.pagination.find({
query: 'machine learning',
page: 1,
pageSize: 20
})
console.log(`Page ${page1.page} of ${page1.totalPages}`)
console.log(`Total results: ${page1.total}`)
// Get next page
const page2 = await brain.pagination.find({
query: 'machine learning',
page: 2,
pageSize: 20
})
```
## Augmentations
```typescript
// List active augmentations
const augmentations = brain.augmentations.list()
// Get specific augmentation
const cache = brain.augmentations.get('cache')
// Augmentations are auto-loaded based on config
// Common augmentations: cache, display, metrics, intelligent-import
```
## Utilities
```typescript
// Manual embedding
const vector = await brain.embed('text to embed')
// Flush pending writes
await brain.flush()
// Get statistics
const stats = await brain.getStats()
const statsNoVFS = await brain.getStats({ excludeVFS: true })
// Close (cleanup)

## Error Handling
```typescript
try {
await brain.get('nonexistent-id')
} catch (error) {
if (error.message.includes('not found')) {
// Handle missing entity
}
}
// VFS errors use POSIX codes
try {
await vfs.readFile('/nonexistent')
} catch (error) {
if (error.code === 'ENOENT') {
// File not found
}
}
```
## Configuration Reference
```typescript
const brain = new Brainy({
// Storage
storage: {
type: 'memory' | 'filesystem',
path: './data', // For filesystem
forceMemoryStorage: false // Force memory even if path exists
},
// Embeddings

Semantic vectors with metadata and relationships - the fundamental data unit in Brainy.
### 🔗 Relationships (Verbs)
Typed connections between entities - building knowledge graphs.
Typed connections between entities with optional `data` and `metadata` - building knowledge graphs.
### 📊 Data vs Metadata
- **`data`**: Content embedded into vectors. Searchable via **semantic similarity** (HNSW) and **hybrid text+semantic** search. NOT queryable via `where` filters.
- **`metadata`**: Structured fields indexed by MetadataIndex. Queryable via `where` filters in `find()`.
See **[Data Model](../DATA_MODEL.md)** for the full explanation.
### 🧠 Triple Intelligence
Vector search + Graph traversal + Metadata filtering in one unified query.

# Brainy Neural API Surface Design
## 🎯 **Clean API Hierarchy**
### **Main Class Shortcuts (Simple & Common)**
```typescript
// High-level shortcuts on Brainy - most common operations
brain.similar(a, b, options?) // ✅ Keep - very common
brain.clusters(items?, options?) // ✅ Keep - very common
brain.related(id, options?) // ✅ Keep - common (like neighbors but simpler name)
// Remove/deprecate confusing shortcuts
brain.visualize(options?) // ❌ Remove - too specialized for main class
```
### **Neural Namespace (Full Featured)**
```typescript
// Core semantic operations
brain.neural.similar(a, b, options?) // Comprehensive similarity
brain.neural.clusters(items?, options?) // Smart clustering with auto-routing
brain.neural.neighbors(id, options?) // K-nearest neighbors (full featured)
brain.neural.hierarchy(id, options?) // Semantic hierarchy building
brain.neural.outliers(options?) // Anomaly detection
brain.neural.visualize(options?) // Visualization data generation
// Advanced clustering methods
brain.neural.clusterByDomain(field, options?) // Domain-aware clustering
brain.neural.clusterByTime(field, windows, options?) // Temporal clustering
brain.neural.clusterStream(options?) // Streaming/real-time clustering
brain.neural.updateClusters(items, options?) // Incremental clustering
// Utility methods
brain.neural.getPerformanceMetrics(operation?) // Performance monitoring
brain.neural.clearCaches() // Cache management
brain.neural.getCacheStats() // Cache statistics
```
## 🔒 **Private Methods (Internal Implementation)**
### **Should NOT be exposed publicly:**
```typescript
// These are implementation details:
brain.neural._clusterFast() // ❌ Private - use clusters() with algorithm: 'hierarchical'
brain.neural._clusterLarge() // ❌ Private - use clusters() with algorithm: 'sample'
brain.neural._performHierarchicalClustering() // ❌ Private - internal routing
brain.neural._performKMeansClustering() // ❌ Private - internal routing
brain.neural._performDBSCANClustering() // ❌ Private - internal routing
brain.neural._performSampledClustering() // ❌ Private - internal routing
brain.neural._routeClusteringAlgorithm() // ❌ Private - internal routing
brain.neural._similarityById() // ❌ Private - internal routing
brain.neural._similarityByVector() // ❌ Private - internal routing
brain.neural._similarityByText() // ❌ Private - internal routing
brain.neural._isId() // ❌ Private - utility
brain.neural._isVector() // ❌ Private - utility
brain.neural._convertToVector() // ❌ Private - utility
brain.neural._cacheResult() // ❌ Private - caching
brain.neural._trackPerformance() // ❌ Private - monitoring
```
### **Current Issues in brain-cloud explorer:**
```typescript
// ❌ BAD: Accessing private implementation details
brain.neural.clusterFast({ maxClusters: count, level: 2 })
// ✅ GOOD: Use public API with proper options
brain.neural.clusters({ algorithm: 'hierarchical', maxClusters: count, level: 2 })
```
## 📊 **API Consistency Fixes**
### **Method Naming Standardization:**
```typescript
// ✅ CONSISTENT: Pick one naming pattern and stick to it
brain.neural.similar() // Main method name
brain.similar() // Shortcut matches
// ❌ INCONSISTENT: Don't mix these
brain.neural.similarity() // Different from shortcut
brain.similar()
```
### **Parameter Patterns:**
```typescript
// ✅ CONSISTENT: Always (data, options?) pattern
brain.neural.similar(a, b, options?)
brain.neural.clusters(items?, options?)
brain.neural.neighbors(id, options?)
brain.neural.hierarchy(id, options?)
// Options should be objects with clear properties
interface ClusteringOptions {
algorithm?: 'auto' | 'hierarchical' | 'kmeans' | 'dbscan'
maxClusters?: number
threshold?: number
// ...
}
```
### **Return Type Consistency:**
```typescript
// ✅ CONSISTENT: All clustering methods return SemanticCluster[]
brain.neural.clusters() → Promise<SemanticCluster[]>
brain.neural.clusterByDomain() → Promise<DomainCluster[]> // extends SemanticCluster
brain.neural.clusterByTime() → Promise<TemporalCluster[]> // extends SemanticCluster
// ✅ CONSISTENT: All similarity methods return number or SimilarityResult
brain.neural.similar() → Promise<number | SimilarityResult>
brain.similar() → Promise<number> // Shortcut always returns simple number
```
## 🚀 **Performance & Intelligence Routing**
### **Auto-Algorithm Selection:**
```typescript
// Smart routing based on data size and characteristics
brain.neural.clusters() // Auto-selects:
// < 100 items → hierarchical (fast, accurate)
// < 1000 items → k-means (balanced)
// > 1000 items → sampling (scalable)
// Manual override available
brain.neural.clusters({ algorithm: 'hierarchical' }) // Force specific algorithm
```
### **Caching Strategy:**
```typescript
// Intelligent caching with LRU eviction
brain.neural.similar('id1', 'id2') // First call: compute & cache
brain.neural.similar('id1', 'id2') // Second call: instant cache hit
// Cache management
brain.neural.clearCaches() // Manual cache clear
brain.neural.getCacheStats() // Monitor cache performance
```
## 📚 **Documentation Structure**
### **Main Documentation Sections:**
1. **Quick Start**: Simple examples using shortcuts (`brain.similar()`, `brain.clusters()`)
2. **Neural API Guide**: Comprehensive examples using `brain.neural.*`
3. **Advanced Clustering**: Domain, temporal, streaming clustering
4. **Performance**: Caching, algorithm selection, monitoring
5. **API Reference**: Complete method documentation
### **Example Progression:**
```typescript
// 1. BEGINNER: Simple shortcuts
const similarity = await brain.similar('text1', 'text2')
const clusters = await brain.clusters()
// 2. INTERMEDIATE: Neural API with options
const detailed = await brain.neural.similar('id1', 'id2', { detailed: true })
const customClusters = await brain.neural.clusters({ algorithm: 'hierarchical', maxClusters: 5 })
// 3. ADVANCED: Specialized clustering
const domainClusters = await brain.neural.clusterByDomain('category')
const streamingClusters = brain.neural.clusterStream({ batchSize: 50 })
```
## ✅ **Implementation Checklist**
### **High Priority:**
- [x] Create comprehensive type definitions
- [x] Implement improved NeuralAPI class with proper public/private separation
- [ ] Update Brainy integration to use improved API
- [ ] Fix brain-cloud explorer to use public APIs
- [ ] Update test files to use consistent method names
- [ ] Update documentation with new API structure
### **Medium Priority:**
- [ ] Implement placeholder algorithm implementations with real clustering logic
- [ ] Add comprehensive error handling and validation
- [ ] Add performance monitoring and metrics collection
- [ ] Create migration guide for users of deprecated methods
### **Nice to Have:**
- [ ] Add interactive clustering refinement based on user feedback
- [ ] Implement explainable clustering with reasoning
- [ ] Add multi-modal clustering (text + metadata + relationships)
- [ ] Create visualization examples for different graph libraries
## 🎯 **API Surface Summary**
### **✅ PUBLIC API** (What users should use):
- **Main shortcuts**: `brain.similar()`, `brain.clusters()`, `brain.related()`
- **Neural namespace**: `brain.neural.similar()`, `brain.neural.clusters()`, etc.
- **Advanced features**: Domain clustering, temporal clustering, streaming
- **Utilities**: Performance metrics, cache management
### **❌ PRIVATE IMPLEMENTATION** (Internal only):
- **Algorithm implementations**: `_performKMeansClustering()`, etc.
- **Routing logic**: `_routeClusteringAlgorithm()`, etc.
- **Utility methods**: `_isId()`, `_convertToVector()`, etc.
- **Caching internals**: `_cacheResult()`, `_trackPerformance()`, etc.
### **⚠️ DEPRECATED** (Should be removed/hidden):
- **brain.neural.clusterFast()** → Use `brain.neural.clusters({ algorithm: 'hierarchical' })`
- **brain.neural.clusterLarge()** → Use `brain.neural.clusters({ algorithm: 'sample' })`
- **brain.neural.similarity()** → Use `brain.neural.similar()` (pick one name)
- **brain.visualize()** → Too specialized for main class, use `brain.neural.visualize()`

# Brainy Metadata Architecture & Namespacing
## The Problem 🚨
We're mixing internal Brainy fields with user metadata, causing:
1. **Namespace collisions** - User's `deleted` field conflicts with our soft-delete
2. **API confusion** - Users see internal fields they shouldn't care about
3. **Security issues** - Users could manipulate internal fields
4. **Augmentation conflicts** - 3rd party augmentations might overwrite our fields
## Current Internal Fields Being Added
### Core System Fields
```javascript
metadata = {
// USER DATA
name: "Django",
type: "framework",
// OUR INTERNAL FIELDS - COLLISION RISK!
deleted: false, // Soft delete status
domain: "tech", // Distributed mode domain
domainMetadata: {}, // Domain-specific metadata
partition: 0, // Partition for sharding
createdAt: {...}, // GraphNoun timestamp
updatedAt: {...}, // GraphNoun timestamp
createdBy: {...}, // Who created this
noun: "Concept", // NounType
verb: "RELATES_TO", // VerbType (for relationships)
isPlaceholder: true, // Write-only mode marker
autoCreated: true, // Auto-created noun marker
writeOnlyMode: true // High-speed streaming marker
}
```
### Augmentation Fields
```javascript
// Good - neuralImport already uses underscore prefix!
metadata._neuralProcessed = true
metadata._neuralConfidence = 0.95
metadata._detectedEntities = 5
metadata._detectedRelationships = 3
metadata._neuralInsights = [...]
// Bad - direct modification
metadata.importance = 0.8 // IntelligentVerbScoring
```
## Proposed Solution: Three-Tier Metadata
### 1. User Metadata (Public)
```javascript
metadata = {
// User's fields - completely untouched
name: "Django",
type: "framework",
deleted: "2024-01-01", // User's own deleted field - no conflict!
domain: "web", // User's domain field - no conflict!
}
```
### 2. Internal Metadata (Protected)
```javascript
metadata._brainy = {
// Core system fields - O(1) indexed
deleted: false, // Our soft delete flag
version: 2, // Metadata schema version
// Distributed mode
partition: 0,
distributedDomain: "tech",
// GraphNoun compliance
nounType: "Concept",
verbType: "RELATES_TO",
createdAt: 1704067200000,
updatedAt: 1704067200000,
createdBy: "user:123",
// Performance flags
indexed: true,
searchable: true,
placeholder: false,
// Storage optimization
compressed: false,
encrypted: false
}
```
### 3. Augmentation Metadata (Semi-Protected)
```javascript
metadata._augmentations = {
// Each augmentation gets its own namespace
neuralImport: {
processed: true,
confidence: 0.95,
entities: 5,
relationships: 3
},
verbScoring: {
contextScore: 0.7,
importance: 0.8
},
// 3rd party augmentations
customAug: {
// Their fields isolated here
}
}
```
## Implementation Strategy
### Phase 1: Core Fields ✅
```javascript
// Already done with _brainy.deleted
const BRAINY_NAMESPACE = '_brainy'
const AUGMENTATION_NAMESPACE = '_augmentations'
```
### Phase 2: Migrate All Internal Fields
```javascript
// Before
metadata.domain = "tech"
metadata.partition = 0
// After
metadata._brainy.distributedDomain = "tech"
metadata._brainy.partition = 0
```
### Phase 3: Augmentation API
```javascript
class Augmentation {
// Read user metadata (read-only)
getUserMetadata(metadata) {
const { _brainy, _augmentations, ...userMeta } = metadata
return userMeta // Clean user data only
}
// Write augmentation data (isolated)
setAugmentationData(metadata, augName, data) {
if (!metadata._augmentations) metadata._augmentations = {}
metadata._augmentations[augName] = data
}
// Read internal fields (for special augmentations only)
getInternalField(metadata, field) {
return metadata._brainy?.[field]
}
}
```
## Benefits
1. **No Collisions** - User can have any field names
2. **O(1) Performance** - Internal fields still indexed
3. **Clean API** - Users only see their data
4. **Secure** - Internal fields protected
5. **Extensible** - Augmentations isolated
6. **Backward Compatible** - Migration path available
## Query Impact
### Before (Collision Risk)
```javascript
where: {
deleted: false, // Ambiguous - ours or user's?
type: "framework"
}
```
### After (Clear Separation)
```javascript
where: {
'_brainy.deleted': false, // Our soft delete
type: "framework" // User's field
}
```
## Performance Considerations
- **Index on `_brainy.deleted`**: O(1) hash lookup ✅
- **Index on `_brainy.partition`**: O(1) for sharding ✅
- **Nested field access**: Modern DBs handle this efficiently ✅
- **Storage overhead**: ~100 bytes per item (acceptable) ✅
## Migration Path
1. **New items**: Automatically use namespaced fields
2. **Existing items**: Lazy migration on update
3. **Queries**: Support both formats temporarily
4. **Deprecation**: Remove old format in v3.0
## Augmentation Guidelines
### For Core Augmentations
- Use `_brainy.*` for system fields
- Use `_augmentations.{name}.*` for augmentation data
- Never modify user fields directly
### For 3rd Party Augmentations
- Read user metadata via `getUserMetadata()`
- Write only to `_augmentations.{yourName}.*`
- Request permission for internal field access
## Critical Fields to Namespace
| Field | Current Location | New Location | Priority |
|-------|-----------------|--------------|----------|
| deleted | metadata.deleted | metadata._brainy.deleted | HIGH ✅ |
| partition | metadata.partition | metadata._brainy.partition | HIGH |
| domain | metadata.domain | metadata._brainy.distributedDomain | HIGH |
| createdAt | metadata.createdAt | metadata._brainy.createdAt | MEDIUM |
| updatedAt | metadata.updatedAt | metadata._brainy.updatedAt | MEDIUM |
| noun | metadata.noun | metadata._brainy.nounType | MEDIUM |
| verb | metadata.verb | metadata._brainy.verbType | MEDIUM |
| isPlaceholder | metadata.isPlaceholder | metadata._brainy.placeholder | LOW |
| autoCreated | metadata.autoCreated | metadata._brainy.autoCreated | LOW |
