🧬 About CombOS Swarm Demo
What you're seeing: A bio-inspired distributed operating system with 50 nodes coordinating through pulse propagation and quorum voting — like a digital beehive.
🎯 Node Roles
- Queen (yellow, center): Global coordinator that issues repair leases and provides strategic hints during voting
- Workers (cyan): Task processing nodes that form the backbone of the swarm
- Sentinels (red): Security nodes with heightened voting caution for anomaly detection
- Drones (green): Override authority that can force repairs when consensus fails
⚡ How It Works
- Pulse Propagation: Nodes send heartbeat pulses (visible as expanding rings) to coordinate state
- Quorum Voting: When anomalies occur, the swarm votes democratically on repairs
- Self-Healing: Local patches happen instantly; complex repairs use distributed consensus
- No Central Control: Emergence and coordination arise from simple node-level rules
🧪 Try This
- Click "Inject Anomaly" and watch neighbors detect it immediately
- Observe the voting process as nodes pulse during consensus
- See the repair shimmer when healing completes
- Try "Inject Burst (x5)" to stress-test concurrent repair handling
Technical Foundation: This demo implements core CombOS primitives: hex-grid spatial addressing, pulse-based time synchronization, distributed consensus, and emergent self-repair. The same architecture scales to robotics swarms, edge AI coordination, and spatial computing interfaces.
