Neuron(N):
  N.type ∈ {CLUSTER_LEADER, SENSOR_FUSION, ..., SOVEREIGNTY_MON}
  N.health ∈ [0, 1]
  N.energy_consumption ∈ ℝ⁺
  N.specialization_factor ∈ [0, 1]
  N.connections = {intra_cluster: [Neuron], inter_cluster: [Neuron]}
  N.activity_level ∈ [0, 1]

1.2 Cluster Organization

Cluster(C):
  C.neurons = [Neuron]  # 1-14 neurons per cluster
  C.leader = Neuron(type=CLUSTER_LEADER)
  C.energy_pool ∈ ℝ⁺
  C.health_avg = mean(N.health for N in C.neurons)
  C.status ∈ {ACTIVE, DEGRADED, FAILED}

1.3 System Initialization

Input parameters:
  total_neurons = 48 (scaled to 54)
  n_clusters = 8
  max_energy = 2500
  initial_cluster_energy = 200
  sensor_count = 16
  ecm_patterns = 10

Initialization steps:
  1. Create neurons with randomized health (0.85-0.95)
  2. Assign neuron types based on cluster specialization table
  3. Establish connections:
     - Intra-cluster: ~5 random connections within cluster
     - Inter-cluster: ~3 random connections to other clusters
  4. Initialize energy pools
  5. Set ECM environment with random pattern sequence

2. Core Mathematical Models

2.1 Sovereignty Calculation

S(t) = α₁·S_sensor + α₂·S_consensus + α₃·S_energy - β·ECM_impact

Where:
  S_sensor = (1/n_sensors)·Σ sensor_integrity_i
  S_consensus = (1 - σ_dissensus)  # σ_dissensus = variance of neuron decisions
  S_energy = current_energy / max_energy
  
  α₁ = 0.4, α₂ = 0.4, α₃ = 0.2  # Weighting factors
  β = ECM_intensity × disruption_factor
  ECM_impact = (1 - exp(-γ·ECM_intensity))  # γ = 2.5

2.2 Targeting Error Model

E(t) = E_base + E_ecm + E_neuronal_noise - E_fusion_benefit

Components:
  E_base = 5.0 m  # Fundamental physical limit
  E_ecm = 20 × ECM_intensity × (1 - ECM_detection_accuracy)
  E_neuronal_noise = 15 × (1 - mean_neuron_health)
  E_fusion_benefit = 10 × n_active_sensors / sensor_count
  
  ECM_detection_accuracy = (n_ecm_detecting_neurons / total_neurons) × 0.7

2.3 Energy Dynamics

Energy update per step:
  ΔE = -Σ(energy_consumption_i) + energy_replenishment - energy_transfer_cost
  
Where:
  energy_consumption_i = base_consumption × activity_level_i
  base_consumption = 0.025 units/step for regular neurons
                    = 0.04 units/step for CLUSTER_LEADER
                    
  energy_replenishment = 0.1 × (1 - crisis_mode_factor)
  energy_transfer_cost = 0.01 × transferred_energy
  
Cluster energy sharing:
  if C_i.energy_pool < threshold and ∃C_j: C_j.health_avg > 0.8:
    transfer = min(50, C_j.energy_pool × 0.1)
    C_i.energy_pool += transfer × (1 - transfer_efficiency)
    C_j.energy_pool -= transfer

2.4 Neuron Health Dynamics

Health degradation:
  Δhealth = -degradation_rate + healing_rate - stress_penalty
  
Degradation factors:
  degradation_rate = 0.0001 × (1 + 0.5 × crisis_mode)
  stress_penalty = 0.001 × (ECM_intensity + activity_level)
  healing_rate = 0.0005 if intervention_active else 0.0001
  
Health thresholds:
  Healthy: health > 0.7
  Degraded: 0.4 ≤ health ≤ 0.7
  Critical: health < 0.4

2.5 ECM Model

ECM intensity generation:
  ECM(t) = (1 - ρ)·ECM(t-1) + ρ·random_walk + pattern_effect
  
  random_walk: N(0, 0.1)
  ρ = 0.3  # Persistence factor
  pattern_effect: selects from 10 predefined patterns every 100-500 steps
  
ECM impact on neurons:
  effective_ECM = ECM(t) × (1 - neuron.specialization_factor)
  if effective_ECM > 0.6 and neuron.type = ECM_DETECT:
    detection_success_probability = 0.8
  else:
    detection_success_probability = 0.2

2.6 Consensus Mechanism

For decision D (target selection, ECM response, etc.):

  1. Each neuron i votes: vote_i = f(neuron_type, local_sensors, health)
  2. Cluster aggregation: cluster_vote_C = weighted_mean(votes in C)
  3. Inter-cluster communication:
     - Cluster leaders exchange votes
     - Apply consensus algorithm (simplified):
       
       consensus_score = 1 - (max_vote - min_vote)
       
       if consensus_score > 0.8:
         final_decision = mean(all_votes)
       else:
         # Re-negotiate with adjusted weights
         weights = neuron_health × specialization_factor
         final_decision = weighted_mean(all_votes)

3. Simulation Flow

  sensor_readings = generate_sensor_data(target_position, ECM_intensity)
  
  # 3. Neuron processing cycle
  for neuron in all_neurons:
    if neuron.health > 0.3 and neuron.energy > 0:
      
      # Activity based on type
      if neuron.type == SENSOR_FUSION:
        output = fuse_sensor_data(sensor_readings)
      elif neuron.type == THREAT_ASSESS:
        output = assess_threat(outputs_from_connected_neurons)
      # ... other neuron types
      
      neuron.activity_level = calculate_activity(output_importance)
      neuron.energy -= consumption_rate × activity_level
      
  # 4. Cluster-level processing
  for cluster in all_clusters:
    if cluster.health_avg > 0.5:
      cluster_decision = consensus_mechanism(cluster.neurons)
      update_targeting_error(cluster_decision)
      
  # 5. System-wide updates
  sovereignty = calculate_sovereignty()
  energy_management()
  
  # 6. Self-healing interventions
  if any(neuron.health < 0.4):
    trigger_intervention(neuron, cluster)
  
  # 7. Data recording
  record_metrics(step, sovereignty, error, energy, active_clusters)

3.2 Intervention System

Intervention trigger conditions:
  1. Neuron health < 0.4 for 5 consecutive steps
  2. Cluster consensus < 0.6 for 10 consecutive steps
  3. Energy below critical threshold (50 units)
  
Intervention types:
  TYPE_A: Restart neuron (health reset to 0.7, cost: 5 energy)
  TYPE_B: Re-route connections (cost: 2 energy)
  TYPE_C: Load redistribution (cost: 1 energy)
  
Intervention selection:
  intervention_type = argmin(cost / expected_benefit)
  where expected_benefit = Δsovereignty / cost

  average = mean(sovereignty for steps in bin)

# Error statistics
