Technical Implementation

1. Cognitive Architecture Design

class CognitiveCore:
    def __init__(self, config: Dict[str, Any]):
        self.memory_system = HierarchicalMemory(
            working_memory_size=config['wm_size'],
            ltm_capacity=config['ltm_size'],
            attention_mechanism=config['attention_type']
        )
        self.reasoning_engine = CausalEngine(
            causal_discovery_method=config['causal_method'],
            inference_mechanism=config['inference_type']
        )
        self.learning_system = MetaLearningSystem(
            meta_optimizer=config['meta_optimizer'],
            adaptation_rate=config['adaptation_rate']
        )

    def process_input(self, input_data: torch.Tensor) -> Dict[str, torch.Tensor]:
        # Multi-stage processing pipeline
        attention_weights = self.memory_system.compute_attention(input_data)
        processed_data = self.reasoning_engine.apply_causal_inference(
            input_data, attention_weights
        )
        return self.learning_system.adapt_and_respond(processed_data)

2. Distributed Computing Framework

class DistributedProcessor:
    def __init__(self, num_nodes: int, communication_protocol: str):
        self.nodes = self._initialize_nodes(num_nodes)
        self.communication = CommunicationLayer(protocol=communication_protocol)
        self.load_balancer = AdaptiveLoadBalancer(
            strategy='dynamic',
            monitoring_interval=0.1
        )

    def distribute_computation(self, task: ComputeTask) -> Future:
        partitioned_tasks = self.load_balancer.partition(task)
        futures = []
        for subtask in partitioned_tasks:
            node = self.load_balancer.get_optimal_node()
            futures.append(node.submit(subtask))
        return self.communication.gather_results(futures)
