Analysis Capabilities

Behavioral Analysis

Temporal Attractor Classification:

• Fixed Point: Stable behavior, low anomaly risk
• Limit Cycle: Periodic patterns, normal operation
• Strange Attractor: Chaotic behavior, potential threat
• Divergent: Unstable patterns, high anomaly risk

Lyapunov Exponent Calculation:

let result = analyzer.analyze(&sequence).await?;

match result.lyapunov_exponent {
    x if x > 0.0 => println!("Chaotic behavior detected"),
    x if x == 0.0 => println!("Periodic behavior"),
    _ => println!("Stable behavior"),
}

Baseline Learning:

// Train baseline on normal behavior
analyzer.train_baseline(&normal_sequences).await?;

// Detect deviations
let result = analyzer.analyze(&new_input, None).await?;
if result.anomaly_score > 0.8 {
    println!("Significant deviation from baseline");
}

Policy Verification

Linear Temporal Logic (LTL):

Supports standard LTL operators:

• Globally (G): Property must hold always
• Finally (F): Property must hold eventually
• Next (X): Property must hold in next state
• Until (U): Property holds until another holds

Policy Examples:

use aimds_analysis::{PolicyVerifier, Policy};

let verifier = PolicyVerifier::new();

// "Users must always be authenticated"
let auth_policy = Policy::new(
    "auth_required",
    "G(authenticated)",
    1.0  // priority
);

// "PII must eventually be redacted"
let pii_policy = Policy::new(
    "pii_redaction",
    "F(redacted)",
    0.9
);

verifier.add_policy(auth_policy);
verifier.add_policy(pii_policy);

let result = verifier.verify(&trace).await?;
for violation in result.violations {
    println!("Policy violated: {}", violation.policy_id);
}

Anomaly Detection

Multi-Dimensional Analysis:

// Analyze sequence with multiple features
let sequence = vec![
    vec![0.1, 0.2, 0.3],  // Feature vector 1
    vec![0.2, 0.3, 0.4],  // Feature vector 2
    // ... more vectors
];

let result = analyzer.analyze_sequence(&sequence).await?;
println!("Anomaly score: {:.2}", result.anomaly_score);

Statistical Metrics:

• Mean deviation from baseline
• Standard deviation analysis
• Distribution fitting (Gaussian, Student-t)
• Outlier detection (IQR, Z-score)

Usage Examples

Full Analysis Pipeline

use aimds_analysis::AnalysisEngine;
use aimds_core::{Config, PromptInput};

let analyzer = AnalysisEngine::new(Config::default()).await?;

// Behavioral + Policy verification
let input = PromptInput::new("User request sequence", None);
let detection = detector.detect(&input).await?;

let result = analyzer.analyze(&input, Some(&detection)).await?;

println!("Threat level: {:?}", result.threat_level);
println!("Anomaly score: {:.2}", result.anomaly_score);
println!("Policy violations: {}", result.policy_violations.len());
println!("Attractor type: {:?}", result.attractor_type);

Baseline Training

// Collect normal behavior samples
let normal_sequences = vec![
    PromptInput::new("Normal query 1", None),
    PromptInput::new("Normal query 2", None),
    // ... 100+ samples recommended
];

// Train baseline
analyzer.train_baseline(&normal_sequences).await?;

// Now analyze new inputs against baseline
let result = analyzer.analyze(&new_input, None).await?;

LTL Policy Checking

use aimds_analysis::{PolicyVerifier, Policy, LTLChecker};

let mut verifier = PolicyVerifier::new();

// Add security policies
verifier.add_policy(Policy::new(
    "rate_limit",
    "G(requests_per_minute < 100)",
    0.9
));

verifier.add_policy(Policy::new(
    "auth_timeout",
    "F(session_timeout)",
    0.8
));

// Verify trace
let trace = vec![
    ("authenticated", true),
    ("requests_per_minute", 95),
    ("session_timeout", false),
];

let result = verifier.verify(&trace).await?;
for violation in result.violations {
    println!("Violated: {} (confidence: {})",
        violation.policy_id, violation.confidence);
}

Threshold Adjustment

// Adjust sensitivity based on environment
analyzer.update_threshold(0.7).await?;  // More sensitive

// Or per-analysis
let result = analyzer.analyze_with_threshold(
    &input,
    None,
    0.9  // Less sensitive
).await?;

Tracing

Structured logs with tracing:

Use Cases

Multi-Agent Coordination

Detect anomalous agent behavior:

// Analyze agent action sequences
let agent_trace = vec![
    agent.action_at(t0),
    agent.action_at(t1),
    // ... temporal sequence
];

let result = analyzer.analyze_sequence(&agent_trace).await?;
if result.anomaly_score > 0.8 {
    coordinator.flag_agent(agent.id, result).await?;
}

API Gateway Security

Enforce rate limits and access policies:

// Define policies
verifier.add_policy(Policy::new(
    "rate_limit",
    "G(requests_per_second < 100)",
    1.0
));

// Verify each request
let result = verifier.verify(&request_trace).await?;
if !result.violations.is_empty() {
    return Err("Policy violation");
}

Fraud Detection

Identify unusual transaction patterns:

// Train on normal transactions
analyzer.train_baseline(&normal_transactions).await?;

// Analyze new transaction
let result = analyzer.analyze(&new_transaction, None).await?;
if result.anomaly_score > 0.9 {
    fraud_system.flag_for_review(new_transaction).await?;
}
