Gravit Grover Network (GGN)

Distributed Epistemic Search Protocol

Gravit Grover is a decentralized protocol for finding optimal hypotheses through the combination of:

• Gower Similarity Layer: geometric representation of the hypothesis space
• Multiplicative Weights: probabilistic reweighting based on local scores
• Grover Amplification: enhancement of globally consistent hypotheses
• Gossip Consensus: distributed synchronization without a central coordinator

Mathematical Foundation

Gower Similarity

For hypotheses h_i and h_j:

$$S(h_i, h_j) = (Σ_k w_k · s_k(h_i, h_j)) / (Σ_k w_k)$$

where s_k is the pairwise similarity on feature k.

For numeric features:

$$s_k(h_i, h_j) = 1 - |x_ik - x_jk| / R_k$$

For categorical features:

$$s_k(h_i, h_j) = 1 if x_ik = x_jk else 0$$

Multiplicative Weights Update

For node v at step t:

$$p_v^{t+1}(h) = (p_v^t(h) · exp(η · score_v(h))) / Z_t$$

where η is the learning rate and Z_t is the normalization constant.

Grover Amplification

Global amplification through aggregation:

$$p^{t+1}(h) ∝ p^t(h) · (global_score(h) / avg_score)^γ$$

where γ > 1 controls the amplification strength.

Gossip Consensus

Synchronization through mixing:

$$x_v^{t+1} = (1 - ε)x_v^t + (ε/|N(v)|) · Σ_{u∈N(v)} x_u^t$$

where ε is the mixing coefficient.

Global Objective

The network converges toward:

$$argmax_h λ(h)$$

where:

$$λ(h) = (1/N) · Σ_v log(score_v(h))$$
