## Overview

ARGUS implements **Research Debate Chain (RDC)** - a novel approach to AI reasoning that structures knowledge evaluation as multi-agent debates. Instead of single-pass inference, ARGUS orchestrates specialist agents that gather evidence, generate rebuttals, and render verdicts through Bayesian aggregation.

### Why ARGUS?

Traditional LLM applications suffer from:
- **Hallucination**: Models generate plausible but incorrect information
- **Overconfidence**: No calibrated uncertainty estimates
- **Opacity**: Black-box reasoning with no audit trail
- **Single-Point Failure**: One model, one perspective

ARGUS addresses these through:
- **Adversarial Debate**: Multiple agents challenge claims with evidence
- **Bayesian Aggregation**: Calibrated confidence through probability theory
- **Full Provenance**: Every claim traced to its source
- **Multi-Model Support**: Use different LLMs for different roles

---

## Key Innovations

### Conceptual Debate Graph (C-DAG)
A directed graph structure where propositions, evidence, and rebuttals are nodes with signed edges representing support/attack relationships. The graph enables:
- Structured argument representation
- Influence propagation via Bayesian updating
- Conflict detection and resolution
- Visual debugging and analysis

### Evidence-Directed Debate Orchestration (EDDO)
Algorithm for managing multi-round debates with configurable stopping criteria:
- Convergence detection (posterior stability)
- Maximum rounds enforcement
- Budget-based termination
- Information gain thresholds

### Value of Information Planning
Decision-theoretic experiment selection using Expected Information Gain (EIG):
- Prioritize high-value evidence gathering
- Optimal resource allocation under constraints
- Monte Carlo estimation of information value

### Full Provenance Tracking
PROV-O compatible ledger with hash-chain integrity:
- W3C standard compliance
- Cryptographic attestations
- Complete audit trails
- Tamper detection

---

## Features

### Multi-Agent Debate System

| Agent | Role | Capabilities |
|-------|------|--------------|
| **Moderator** | Orchestration | Creates debate agendas, manages rounds, evaluates stopping criteria, breaks ties |
| **Specialist** | Evidence Gathering | Domain-specific research, hybrid retrieval, source quality assessment |
| **Refuter** | Challenge Generation | Counter-evidence, methodological critiques, logical fallacy detection |
| **Jury** | Verdict Rendering | Bayesian aggregation, confidence calibration, label assignment |

### Conceptual Debate Graph (C-DAG)

**Node Types:**
| Type | Description | Attributes |
|------|-------------|------------|
| `Proposition` | Main claims under evaluation | text, prior, domain, status |
| `Evidence` | Supporting/attacking information | polarity, confidence, source, type |
| `Rebuttal` | Challenges to evidence | target_id, strength, rebuttal_type |
| `Finding` | Intermediate conclusions | derived_from, confidence |
| `Assumption` | Underlying premises | explicit, challenged |

**Edge Types:**
| Type | Polarity | Description |
|------|----------|-------------|
| `SUPPORTS` | +1 | Evidence supporting a proposition |
| `ATTACKS` | -1 | Evidence challenging a proposition |
| `REBUTS` | -1 | Rebuttal targeting evidence |
| `REFINES` | 0 | Clarification or specification |

**Propagation:** Log-odds Bayesian belief updating across the graph with configurable decay and damping.

### Hybrid Retrieval System

│  └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘   │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

**Components:**
- **BM25 Sparse Retrieval**: Traditional keyword-based retrieval with TF-IDF scoring
- **FAISS Dense Retrieval**: Semantic vector search using sentence-transformers
- **Fusion Methods**: Weighted combination or Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF)
- **Cross-Encoder Reranking**: Neural reranking for precision (optional)

### Decision-Theoretic Planning

**Expected Information Gain (EIG):**
```python
# Estimate value of an experiment
planner = VoIPlanner(llm=llm, n_samples=1000)
ranked_actions = planner.rank_by_eig(experiments, current_belief)

# Select optimal action set under budget constraint
optimal_set = planner.select_under_budget(experiments, budget=100)
```

**Calibration:**
- Brier Score assessment
- Expected Calibration Error (ECE)
- Temperature scaling for confidence adjustment
- Histogram binning for reliability diagrams

### Provenance & Governance

**Event Types:**
| Event | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `SESSION_START` | Debate session initialization |
| `PROPOSITION_ADDED` | New proposition registered |
| `EVIDENCE_ADDED` | Evidence attached to proposition |
| `REBUTTAL_ADDED` | Rebuttal targeting evidence |
| `VERDICT_RENDERED` | Jury verdict recorded |
| `SESSION_END` | Session completion |

**Integrity Features:**
- SHA-256 hash chain for tamper detection
- PROV-O compatible event model
- Cryptographic attestations for content
- Query API for filtering and analysis

## Quick Start

### Basic Usage

```python
from argus import RDCOrchestrator, get_llm

# Initialize with any supported LLM
llm = get_llm("openai", model="gpt-4o")

# Run a debate on a proposition
orchestrator = RDCOrchestrator(llm=llm, max_rounds=5)
result = orchestrator.debate(
    "The new treatment reduces symptoms by more than 20%",
    prior=0.5,  # Start with 50/50 uncertainty
)

print(f"Verdict: {result.verdict.label}")
print(f"Posterior: {result.verdict.posterior:.3f}")
print(f"Evidence: {result.num_evidence} items")
print(f"Reasoning: {result.verdict.reasoning}")
```

### Building a Debate Graph Manually

```python
from argus import CDAG, Proposition, Evidence, EdgeType
from argus.cdag.nodes import EvidenceType
from argus.cdag.propagation import compute_posterior

# Create the graph
graph = CDAG(name="drug_efficacy_debate")

# Add the proposition to evaluate
prop = Proposition(
    text="Drug X is effective for treating condition Y",
    prior=0.5,
    domain="clinical",
)
graph.add_proposition(prop)

# Add supporting evidence
trial_evidence = Evidence(
    text="Phase 3 RCT showed 35% symptom reduction (n=500, p<0.001)",
    evidence_type=EvidenceType.EMPIRICAL,
    polarity=1,  # Supports
    confidence=0.9,
    relevance=0.95,
    quality=0.85,
)
graph.add_evidence(trial_evidence, prop.id, EdgeType.SUPPORTS)

# Add challenging evidence
side_effect = Evidence(
    text="15% of patients experienced adverse events",
    evidence_type=EvidenceType.EMPIRICAL,
    polarity=-1,  # Attacks
    confidence=0.8,
    relevance=0.7,
)
graph.add_evidence(side_effect, prop.id, EdgeType.ATTACKS)

# Add rebuttal to the challenge
rebuttal = Rebuttal(
    text="Adverse events were mild and resolved without intervention",
    target_id=side_effect.id,
    rebuttal_type="clarification",
    strength=0.7,
    confidence=0.85,
)
graph.add_rebuttal(rebuttal, side_effect.id)

# Compute Bayesian posterior
posterior = compute_posterior(graph, prop.id)
print(f"Posterior probability: {posterior:.3f}")
```

### Document Ingestion & Retrieval

```python
from argus import DocumentLoader, Chunker, EmbeddingGenerator
from argus.retrieval import HybridRetriever

# Load documents (supports PDF, TXT, HTML, Markdown, JSON)
loader = DocumentLoader()
doc = loader.load("research_paper.pdf")

# Chunk with overlap for context preservation
chunker = Chunker(chunk_size=512, chunk_overlap=50)
chunks = chunker.chunk(doc)

# Create hybrid retriever
retriever = HybridRetriever(
    embedding_model="all-MiniLM-L6-v2",
    lambda_param=0.7,  # Weight toward dense retrieval
    use_reranker=True,
)
retriever.index_chunks(chunks)

# Search with hybrid scoring
results = retriever.retrieve("treatment efficacy results", top_k=10)
for r in results:
    print(f"[{r.rank}] Score: {r.score:.3f} - {r.chunk.text[:100]}...")
```

### Multi-Agent Debate

```python
from argus import get_llm
from argus.agents import Moderator, Specialist, Refuter, Jury
from argus import CDAG, Proposition

# Initialize LLM (can use different models for different agents)
llm = get_llm("anthropic", model="claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022")

# Initialize agents
moderator = Moderator(llm)
specialist = Specialist(llm, domain="clinical")
refuter = Refuter(llm)
jury = Jury(llm)

# Create debate graph
graph = CDAG()
prop = Proposition(text="The intervention is cost-effective", prior=0.5)
graph.add_proposition(prop)

# Moderator creates agenda
agenda = moderator.create_agenda(graph, prop.id)

# Specialists gather evidence
evidence = specialist.gather_evidence(graph, prop.id)

# Refuter challenges evidence
rebuttals = refuter.generate_rebuttals(graph, prop.id)

# Jury renders verdict
verdict = jury.evaluate(graph, prop.id)
print(f"Verdict: {verdict.label} (posterior={verdict.posterior:.3f})")
print(f"Reasoning: {verdict.reasoning}")
```

from argus.outputs import PlotConfig, PlotTheme

config = PlotConfig(
    output_dir="./plots",           # Output directory
    dpi=300,                         # Resolution (300 for print)
    format="png",                    # Export format
    theme=PlotTheme.PUBLICATION,     # Visual theme
    interactive=True,                # Enable interactive plots
    figsize=(12, 8),                 # Default figure size
    title_fontsize=16,               # Title font size
    label_fontsize=12,               # Axis label font size
)
```

### Themes

| Theme | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `publication` | Professional style for academic papers (default) |
| `dark` | Dark background with light elements |
| `light` | Clean, minimal light theme |
| `minimal` | Reduced chrome, focus on data |

### Color Palettes

ARGUS uses colorblind-friendly palettes:

```python
from argus.outputs import COLORS, SPECIALIST_COLORS

# Main palette
COLORS = {
    "primary": "#2E86AB",      # Blue
    "secondary": "#A23B72",    # Magenta
    "success": "#F18F01",      # Orange
    "danger": "#C73E1D",       # Red
    "warning": "#FFE66D",      # Yellow
    "support": "#2E8B57",      # Green
    "attack": "#DC143C",       # Crimson
    "neutral": "#708090",      # Slate gray
}

# Specialist colors
SPECIALIST_COLORS = {
    "Bull Analyst": "#2E8B57",
    "Bear Analyst": "#DC143C",
    "Technical Analyst": "#4169E1",
    "SEC Filing Analyst": "#9932CC",
}
```

### Integration with SEC Debate Workflow

The plotting module is automatically integrated with the SEC enhanced debate workflow:

```python
# Run SEC debate with automatic plot generation
python -m testing.workflows.sec_enhanced_debate

# Generates:
# - Individual plots for each stock (posterior, evidence, network, etc.)
# - Comparison plots across all stocks
# - Interactive dashboard
# 
# All saved to: testing/results/plots/
```

### Export Formats

| Format | Use Case |
|--------|----------|
| `png` | Web, presentations (raster, 300 DPI default) |
| `pdf` | Academic papers, print (vector graphics) |
| `svg` | Web scalable graphics (vector) |
| `html` | Interactive plots (Plotly only) |

## Core Components

### Document Model

```python
from argus.core.models import Document, SourceType

doc = Document(
    url="file:///path/to/doc.pdf",
    title="Research Paper Title",
    content="Full text content...",
    source_type=SourceType.PDF,
    metadata={
        "author": "Jane Doe",
        "date": "2024-01-15",
        "pages": 12,
    }
)

# Computed properties
print(doc.id)           # Auto-generated UUID
print(doc.content_hash) # SHA-256 hash
print(doc.word_count)   # Word count
```

### Chunk Model

```python
from argus.core.models import Chunk

chunk = Chunk(
    doc_id=doc.id,
    text="Chunk text content...",
    start_char=0,
    end_char=512,
    chunk_index=0,
    metadata={"section": "Abstract"}
)

# Properties
print(chunk.span)    # (0, 512)
print(chunk.length)  # 512
```

### Evidence Types

```python
from argus.cdag.nodes import EvidenceType

# Available types
EvidenceType.EMPIRICAL      # Experimental/observational data
EvidenceType.THEORETICAL    # Theoretical arguments
EvidenceType.STATISTICAL    # Statistical analysis
EvidenceType.CASE_STUDY     # Case study evidence
EvidenceType.EXPERT_OPINION # Expert testimony
EvidenceType.LITERATURE     # Literature review
EvidenceType.LOGICAL        # Logical argument
EvidenceType.METHODOLOGICAL # Methodological critique
EvidenceType.ECONOMIC       # Economic analysis
```

---

## Algorithms

### Signed Influence Propagation

The C-DAG uses log-odds space for numerically stable Bayesian belief propagation:

```
posterior = σ(log-odds(prior) + Σᵢ wᵢ · log(LRᵢ))
```

Where:
- `σ` is the logistic (sigmoid) function
- `LRᵢ` is the likelihood ratio for evidence i
- `wᵢ = polarityᵢ × confidenceᵢ × relevanceᵢ × qualityᵢ`

**Implementation:**
```python
def compute_posterior(graph, proposition_id):
    prop = graph.get_proposition(proposition_id)
    log_odds = logit(prop.prior)
    
    for evidence in graph.get_evidence_for(proposition_id):
        weight = evidence.polarity * evidence.confidence * evidence.relevance
        likelihood_ratio = compute_lr(evidence)
        log_odds += weight * log(likelihood_ratio)
    
    return sigmoid(log_odds)
```

### Expected Information Gain

For experiment planning, ARGUS computes EIG via Monte Carlo sampling:

```
EIG(a) = H(p) - 𝔼ᵧ[H(p|y)]
```

Where:
- `H(p)` is the entropy of current belief
- `𝔼ᵧ[H(p|y)]` is expected entropy after observing outcome y

**Implementation:**
```python
def compute_eig(action, current_belief, n_samples=1000):
    current_entropy = entropy(current_belief)
    
    expected_posterior_entropy = 0
    for _ in range(n_samples):
        outcome = simulate_outcome(action, current_belief)
        posterior = update_belief(current_belief, outcome)
        expected_posterior_entropy += entropy(posterior)
    
    expected_posterior_entropy /= n_samples
    return current_entropy - expected_posterior_entropy
```

### Calibration Methods

**Temperature Scaling:**
```
T* = argmin_T Σᵢ CrossEntropy(yᵢ, σ(zᵢ/T))
```

**Metrics:**
- **Brier Score**: Mean squared error of probability estimates
- **ECE**: Expected Calibration Error (binned reliability)
- **MCE**: Maximum Calibration Error

```python
from argus.decision import Calibrator

calibrator = Calibrator()
calibrator.fit(logits, labels)

calibrated_probs = calibrator.calibrate(new_logits)
brier_score = calibrator.brier_score(labels, probs)
ece = calibrator.expected_calibration_error(labels, probs)
```

## Testing

### Running Tests

```bash
# Run all tests
pytest

# Run with coverage report
pytest --cov=argus --cov-report=html

# Run specific test modules
pytest tests/unit/test_cdag.py -v
pytest tests/unit/test_llm.py -v

# Run integration tests
pytest tests/integration/ -v

# Run only fast tests (skip slow/network tests)
pytest -m "not slow"

# Run with verbose output
pytest -v --tb=short
```

### Test Categories

| Category | Path | Description |
|----------|------|-------------|
| Unit | `tests/unit/` | Isolated component tests |
| Integration | `tests/integration/` | Multi-component tests |
| E2E | `tests/e2e/` | Full workflow tests |

### Writing Tests

```python
import pytest
from argus.cdag import CDAG, Proposition, Evidence

def test_posterior_increases_with_supporting_evidence(mock_llm):
    """Test that posterior increases with supporting evidence."""
    from argus.cdag.propagation import compute_posterior
    
    graph = CDAG()
    prop = Proposition(text="Test claim", prior=0.5)
    graph.add_proposition(prop)
    
    initial_posterior = compute_posterior(graph, prop.id)
    
    evidence = Evidence(
        text="Strong support",
        evidence_type=EvidenceType.EMPIRICAL,
        polarity=1,
        confidence=0.9,
    )
    graph.add_evidence(evidence, prop.id, EdgeType.SUPPORTS)
    
    final_posterior = compute_posterior(graph, prop.id)
    
    assert final_posterior > initial_posterior
```
