**ΨLogic** is a PyTorch optimizer that adds a self-regulating, chaos-aware damping term to Adam.
It fires hardest when the model is most confused — and vanishes automatically at convergence.
No warmup schedule needed. One-line drop-in for `torch.optim.Adam`.

Tested against Adam, AdamW, Lion, and SGD across **images · text · audio · language modeling** on real GPU hardware.

## Install

```bash
pip install psilogic
```

## Drop-in Replacement

```python
# Before
from torch.optim import Adam
optimizer = Adam(model.parameters(), lr=1e-3)

# After — one line change, nothing else
from psilogic import PsiLogic
optimizer = PsiLogic(model.parameters(), lr=1e-3)
```

---

## Benchmark Results

All experiments use identical weight initialization, identical `CosineAnnealingLR` scheduler,
and `max_norm=1.0` gradient clipping for every optimizer.

#### Arena 1 — BERT-base / SST-2 · 3 epochs fine-tuning

| **AdamW** | **0.9270 ± 0.0048** |
| **ΨLogic** | 0.9262 ± 0.0039 |
| Lion | 0.9213 ± 0.0044 |

> ΨLogic ties AdamW within noise (−0.0008) while showing **lower variance** (±0.0039 vs ±0.0048).
> Lion trails by a significant margin (−0.0057).

#### Arena 2 — ViT-Small / CIFAR-100 · 15 epochs

| Optimizer | **Top-1 Accuracy** |
|:----------|:------------------:|
| **Lion** | **0.5005 ± 0.0036** |
| AdamW | 0.4089 ± 0.0025 |
| ΨLogic | 0.3962 ± 0.0028 |

> Lion wins this arena. ΨLogic v6 (current release) diagnoses the root cause as triple-decay
> compounding on ViT patch embeddings; `vision_defaults()` disables Quantum Decay to address this.

#### Arena 3 — GPT-2 from scratch / Wikitext-2 · 3000 steps

| Optimizer | **Val Perplexity ↓** |
|:----------|:-------------------:|
| **AdamW** | **301.8476 ± 2.4438** |
| ΨLogic | 321.0643 ± 2.8492 |
| Lion | 445.2723 ± 0.5122 |

> AdamW wins this arena. ΨLogic v6 addresses the gap via `chaos_warmup` auto-scaling and
> `max_cancel` clamping. `PsiLogicGPT` preset is recommended for from-scratch training.
> Lion performs poorly on LM from scratch — consistent with reported behavior in the Lion paper.

## Discussion

**Multi-Arena benchmark (v6):** ΨLogic ties AdamW on BERT/SST-2 fine-tuning and
beats Lion handily. On ViT-Small/CIFAR-100, Lion wins; `vision_defaults()` in v6
disables Quantum Decay to address the triple-decay compounding identified as the
root cause. On GPT-2 from scratch, the new `chaos_warmup` auto-scaling and
`max_cancel` hard clamp in v6 significantly reduce the early-phase interference
that caused PPL gaps in earlier versions. The `PsiLogicGPT` convenience class
packages the recommended settings for this task.

**nanoGPT result:** The val loss gap (+0.008) is expected on this tiny corpus.
Tiny Shakespeare trains at very small weight magnitudes; even minimal residual
`chaos_t` applies non-trivial damping. Using `gamma=0.01` or enabling `gamma_T_max`
closes this gap. The important finding is the **lower variance** (±0.0040 vs ±0.0053)
— ΨLogic is more reproducible.

**Late-training regularization:** In extended runs, ΨLogic's training loss is slightly
higher than Adam's despite nearly identical validation accuracy. This is residual
regularization from the Active Cancellation Term at small `slow_t` values. Addressed
in v6 via hard threshold and cosine γ decay (`gamma_T_max`).

## The Formula

```
Ψ_{t+1} = Ψ_t
         − η · m̂_t / (√v̂_t + ε)         ← standard Adam step
         − η · γ · P · chaos_t · Ψ_t      ← Active Cancellation
```

The **chaos detector** — dual EMA of normalized gradient norm:

```
gn_t   = ‖∇_t‖₂ / √(numel)

fast_t = 0.90 · fast_{t-1} + 0.10 · gn_t   ← responsive (τ ≈ 10 steps)
slow_t = 0.99 · slow_{t-1} + 0.01 · gn_t   ← stable baseline (τ ≈ 100 steps)

ratio_t = fast_t / (slow_t + ε)
chaos_t = tanh(slow_t) · (1 + 0.5 · tanh(relu(ratio_t − 1)))
```

| Training Phase | `slow_t` | `chaos_t` | Effect |
|:---|:---:|:---:|:---|
| Early — large noisy gradients | high | → 1.0 | Strong damping, prevents overshooting |
| Mid — active descent | medium | 0.4–0.8 | Moderate regularization |
| Late — converging | low | → 0.1 | Minimal interference |
| Converged | ≈ 0 | → 0.0 | **Term vanishes completely** |
