+# Brain Patterns Optimization Plan
+
+## Brain Pattern Operators (Complete List)
+1. **Equality**: `equals`, `is`, `eq`
+2. **Comparison**: `greaterThan`/`gt`, `lessThan`/`lt`, `greaterEqual`/`gte`, `lessEqual`/`lte`
+3. **Range**: `between` (inclusive range)
+4. **Membership**: `oneOf`/`in` (value in list)
+5. **Contains**: `contains` (for arrays)
+6. **Existence**: `exists` (field exists)
+7. **Negation**: `not` (logical NOT)
+8. **Logical**: `allOf` (AND), `anyOf` (OR)
+
+## Current Architecture Issues
+- MetadataIndex: O(1) hash lookups ONLY
+- No sorted indices for ranges
+- TripleIntelligence: String-based filtering (">2020") - TERRIBLE
+- No numeric type detection
+
+## Optimization Strategy
+
+### Phase 1: Sorted Index Infrastructure ✅ DONE
+```typescript
+interface SortedFieldIndex {
+  values: Array<[value: any, ids: Set<string>]>
+  isDirty: boolean
+  fieldType: 'number' | 'string' | 'date' | 'mixed'
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Binary Search Implementation ✅ DONE
+- O(log n) range boundary finding
+- Support inclusive/exclusive ranges
+- Handle all comparison operators
+
+### Phase 3: Automatic Type Detection
+- Detect numeric fields on first value
+- Maintain appropriate sorting
+- Convert strings to numbers when possible
+
+### Phase 4: Query Optimization
+- Pre-filter with metadata index BEFORE vector search
+- Use sorted indices for ALL range queries
+- Cache sorted indices in memory
+
+## Performance Targets
+- Exact match: O(1) - hash lookup
+- Range query: O(log n + m) - binary search + result size
+- Combined filters: O(k * log n) - k conditions
+- Memory overhead: ~2x current (hash + sorted)
+
+## Implementation Status
+- [x] Add SortedFieldIndex type
+- [x] Add binary search methods
+- [x] Update getIdsForFilter for all operators
+- [ ] Fix TripleIntelligence to use index directly
+- [ ] Add index statistics/monitoring
+- [ ] Optimize memory usage
+
+## Expected Performance Gains
+- Range queries: 100-1000x faster
+- Combined vector+metadata: 10-50x faster
+- Memory usage: +50% (acceptable tradeoff)
