N+1 PIGEONHOLE REDUNDANCY

For N concurrent transfer attempts, maintain N+1 channels:

N Channels Active Pigeonholes
1 Tailscale Tailscale + Voice
2 Tailscale + NATS Tailscale + NATS + Voice
3 Tailscale + NATS + LAN Tailscale + NATS + LAN + Voice

Current: N=1 (Tailscale), Pigeonholes=2 (Tailscale + Voice)


VOICE CHANNEL PROTOCOL

Establishment Sequence

1. ANNOUNCE (outbound)
   Voice: "Attenzione! LocalSend peer causality available!"
   Content: IP, port, alias, fingerprint
   Rate: 150 WPM, Voice: Emma (Premium)

2. SEEK (outbound)  
   Voice: "Cercando peer sulla rete... Rispondete!"
   Purpose: Trigger response from listening peers

3. CONFIRM (on connection)
   Voice: "Connessione stabilita con [peer]!"
   
4. PROGRESS (during transfer)
   Voice: "Trasferimento in corso... [X] percento"

5. COMPLETE (on success)
   Voice: "File ricevuto: [filename]! Completato!"

6. ERROR (on failure)
   Voice: "Errore: [message]. Riprova."

Multi-Voice Redundancy

Voice Language Role
Emma (Premium) Italian Primary announcer
Anna (Premium) German Technical details
Amélie (Premium) French Confirmation
Kyoko (Enhanced) Japanese Fallback
Zuzana (Premium) Czech Error handling

SUBAGENT DISPATCH PATTERN

(defn dispatch-with-pigeonholes! [n-transfers]
  (let [n+1 (inc n-transfers)
        agents (take n+1 [:tailscale :nats :voice :lan :multicast])]
    (doseq [agent agents]
      (future
        (case agent
          :tailscale (tailscale-discover!)
          :nats (nats-subscribe!)
          :voice (voice-announce!)
          :lan (multicast-beacon!)
          :multicast (udp-broadcast!))))))

;; Always have one more channel than needed
;; If any fails, others provide coverage

CONNECTION ESTABLISHMENT COMMANDS

From This Machine (causality)

# Start receiver
bb ~/.amp/skills/localsend-mcp/localsend.bb receive

# Discover peers
bb ~/.amp/skills/localsend-mcp/discovery.bb discover

# Voice announce
bb ~/.amp/skills/localsend-mcp/voice-exchange.bb announce

# NATS subscribe (if available)
bb ~/.amp/skills/localsend-mcp/nats-channel.bb sub

For Remote Peer (2-monad) to Send

# Via Tailscale (RECOMMENDED - bypasses firewall)
curl -X POST http://100.69.33.107:53317/api/localsend/v2/prepare-upload \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"info":{"alias":"2-monad"},"files":{"f1":{"id":"f1","fileName":"FILE.txt","size":SIZE}}}'

# Then upload
curl -X POST "http://100.69.33.107:53317/api/localsend/v2/upload?sessionId=SESSION&fileId=f1&token=TOKEN" \
  --data-binary @FILE.txt

# Or use LocalSend app → select "causality"

FIREWALL STATUS

macOS Firewall: State=2 (BLOCKING)
LAN (192.168.1.40:53317): ❌ BLOCKED
Tailscale (100.69.33.107:53317): ✅ SHOULD WORK (VPN tunnel)

Workaround: Always use Tailscale IP, not LAN IP.


RECOVERY COMMANDS

If receiver dies:

pkill -f localsend.bb
bb ~/.amp/skills/localsend-mcp/localsend.bb receive &

If no files received:

# Check logs
tail -50 /tmp/localsend_receiver.log

# Test endpoint
curl http://localhost:53317/

# Re-announce
say -v "Emma (Premium)" "LocalSend ready! Port 53317!"

NEXT STEPS FOR CONTINUATION

  1. Sender (2-monad) must initiate - receiver is passive
  2. Use Tailscale IP (100.69.33.107) not LAN
  3. Check LocalSend app on 2-monad for "causality" device
  4. If PIN prompted: No PIN required, HTTP mode
  5. Files save to: /tmp/localsend_received/

Spectral Gap Tuning

Definition

spectral_gap = 1.0 - (observed_throughput / target_throughput)

Tuning Loop

  1. Start: chunk_bytes = 256KB, parallelism = 1
  2. Increase parallelism to 2, 4, 8 while loss_rate < 1%
  3. Increase chunk size up to 1MB while RTT stable
  4. Stop when spectral_gap ≤ 0.25 (≥75% target throughput)

Target Throughput

Network Target Spectral Gap Goal
LAN (1Gbps) 100 MB/s ≤0.25
Tailscale 50 MB/s ≤0.25
NATS relay 10 MB/s ≤0.25

Gay.jl Color Integration

Peer Coloring

Each peer gets deterministic color via SplitMix64:

(def gay-seed 0x6761795f636f6c6f)  ;; "gay_colo"
(def golden 0x9e3779b97f4a7c15)

(defn color-at [idx]
  (let [state (reduce (fn [s _] (first (splitmix64 s))) 
                      gay-seed (range idx))
        [_ val] (splitmix64 state)]
    (format "#%02X%02X%02X" 
            (bit-and (>> val 16) 0xFF)
            (bit-and (>> val 8) 0xFF)
            (bit-and val 0xFF))))

Error Handling

Error Recovery Vocal Announcement
Peer not found Retry discovery "Nessun peer trovato, riprovando..."
Connection refused Check firewall "Connessione rifiutata, controlla firewall"
Transfer timeout Reduce chunk size "Timeout, riducendo dimensione chunk"
Checksum mismatch Retry chunk "Errore checksum, ritrasmissione"

Example Workflow

;; 1. Start receiver (on target device)
(transition! :ADVERTISING)
;; Emma announces: "Attenzione! LocalSend peer available..."

;; 2. Discover peers (on source device)
(transition! :DISCOVERING)
(def peers (localsend-list-peers {:source :all}))

;; 3. Select peer and negotiate
(def session (localsend-negotiate {:peerId "causality"
                                    :preferredTransport :tailscale}))

;; 4. Send file
(localsend-send {:sessionId (:id session)
                 :filePath "/path/to/file.txt"})

;; 5. Verify transfer
(localsend-session-status {:sessionId (:id session)})
;; => {:spectralGap 0.15 :status :COMPLETE}

;; Emma announces: "Trasferimento completato!"

Trifurcated Discovery Protocol

The skill uses three parallel discovery channels (XOR redundancy):

Channel 1: Tailscale Discovery (discovery.bb)

bb discovery.bb discover   # Query Tailscale peers
bb discovery.bb announce   # Speak peer list via Emma
bb discovery.bb serve      # HTTP server on :53318

Discovered Peers (pirate-dragon.ts.net):

Peer DNS IP Status
2-monad 2-monad.pirate-dragon.ts.net 100.87.209.11 🟢 online
hatchery hatchery.pirate-dragon.ts.net 100.72.249.116 🟢 online
MacBook Air macbook-air.pirate-dragon.ts.net 100.80.187.82 ⚪ offline
Pixel 9 google-pixel-9-pro-fold.pirate-dragon.ts.net 100.77.81.117 ⚪ offline
raspberrypi raspberrypi.pirate-dragon.ts.net 100.84.102.69 ⚪ offline

Channel 2: NATS Side-Channel (nats-channel.bb)

bb nats-channel.bb pub FILE   # Publish file hash
bb nats-channel.bb sub        # Subscribe to hash announcements  
bb nats-channel.bb caps       # Exchange capabilities

Hash Exchange Protocol:

{:hash "sha256:abc123..."
 :filename "document.pdf"
 :size 1048576
 :sender "causality"
 :capabilities ["localsend" "gay-mcp" "tailscale"]}

Channel 3: Voice Exchange (voice-exchange.bb)

bb voice-exchange.bb list     # List local skills
bb voice-exchange.bb announce # Speak capabilities
bb voice-exchange.bb seek     # "Seeking peers" broadcast
bb voice-exchange.bb qr       # QR-friendly manifest

Voice Commands (spoken by Emma):

  • "Peer causality offers: localsend, gay-mcp, tailscale-discovery..."
  • "Cercando peer sulla rete... Rispondete per favore!"
  • "Connect to causality punto pirate dragon punto ts net, porta 53317"

XOR Redundancy

Any ONE channel succeeding enables peer discovery:

TAILSCALE ──┐
            ├── XOR ──► PEER DISCOVERED
NATS ───────┤
            │
VOICE ──────┘

If Tailscale unavailable → fallback to NATS If NATS unavailable → fallback to voice announcement If all fail → manual IP entry still works

          "skill-installer" "tailscale-localsend" "voice-exchange"]
 :seeking true
 :voice "Emma (Premium)"
 :hash-channel "localsend.hashes.causality"}

Seeking Behavior Protocol

  1. Announce: Broadcast own capabilities via voice + NATS
  2. Listen: Subscribe to localsend.hashes.> for peer hashes
  3. Match: Compare incoming hashes with expected files
  4. Connect: Establish LocalSend session with matched peer
  5. Transfer: Exchange files with spectral gap tuning
  6. Confirm: Voice announcement of successful transfer

Pre-Arranged Hash Exchange

Exchange file hashes via side-channel before transfer:

# Sender: compute and publish hash
bb nats-channel.bb pub /path/to/secret.zip

# Receiver: listen for matching hash
bb nats-channel.bb sub
# → Receives: {:hash "sha256:..." :sender "2-monad"}

# Receiver: accept only matching hash
bb localsend.bb receive --expect-hash "sha256:..."

WHAT WE HAVE RECEIVED

File Origin Time Content
test_send.txt Self-test 22:17 "Hello from Amp! 🌈 Gay.jl color test"
f1_1766373686054.bin Self-test 22:21 "Test file from state machine receiver"

Observation: Both files are self-tests, not from 2-monad.


WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN

For SEND to work (causality → 2-monad):

# ON 2-MONAD:
bb ~/.amp/skills/localsend-mcp/localsend.bb receive

# OR open LocalSend app, enable receiving

For RECEIVE to work (2-monad → causality):

# ON 2-MONAD:
curl -X POST http://100.69.33.107:53317/api/localsend/v2/prepare-upload ...

# OR use LocalSend app, select "causality"

ONTOLOGICAL UNDERSTANDING

What is this system?

A peer-to-peer skill exchange network where:

  • Agents (causality, 2-monad) are nodes
  • Skills are transferable knowledge units (SKILL.md + scripts)
  • Colors identify agents deterministically (Gay.jl seeds)
  • Voice provides human-accessible announcement channel
  • LocalSend provides the data transfer protocol
  • Tailscale provides the secure mesh network

Why does this matter?

  1. Skill Dispersal: Distribute AI agent capabilities across machines
  2. Redundancy: N+1 pigeonhole principle for fault tolerance
  3. Mutual Discovery: Peers find each other via voice + network
  4. Unworlding: Replace temporal state with derivational chains
