Ducklake Walk

DuckLake Random Walk

Ergodic random walk exploration of DuckDB/DuckLake schemas with concurrent Society-of-Mind walkers. Implements PageRank-style teleportation for irreducibility and GF(3)-balanced walker coordination.

Triadic Structure

Conservation: Σ trits = -1 + 0 + 1 = 0 (mod 3) ✓

Algorithm: Ergodic Random Walk

The walk follows a Markov chain with teleportation (PageRank-style):

P(teleport) = 0.15  # Random restart for ergodicity
P(follow_edge) = 0.85 × (has_neighbors ? 1 : 0)
P(forced_teleport) = 1 - P(teleport) - P(follow_edge)

Guarantees:

• Irreducibility: All tables reachable via teleportation
• Aperiodicity: Random restarts break cycles
• Ergodicity: Unique stationary distribution exists

Usage

Babashka Ergodic Walker (ERGODIC stream)

# Demo mode with in-memory schema
bb ducklake-walk.clj

# With existing DuckDB file
bb ducklake-walk.clj /path/to/lakehouse.duckdb

Python Society-of-Mind (PLUS stream)

# Run concurrent walkers
python mensi_walker.py

# Interactive REPL
python jimpe_repl.py

DuckLake Validation (MINUS stream)

LOAD ducklake;
ATTACH 'ducklake:metadata.duckdb' AS lake (DATA_PATH './data');

-- Create walk history table
CREATE TABLE lake.main.walk_history (
    step_id INTEGER,
    from_state VARCHAR,
    to_state VARCHAR,
    trit INTEGER,
    walk_time TIMESTAMPTZ
);

-- Verify GF(3) conservation
SELECT SUM(trit) % 3 AS conservation FROM lake.main.walk_history;
-- Should return 0

Cat# Integration

This skill maps to Cat# = Comod(P) as a bicomodule in the equipment structure:

Trit: 0 (ERGODIC)
Home: Prof
Poly Op: ⊗
Kan Role: Adj
Color: #26D826

GF(3) Naturality

The skill participates in triads satisfying:

(-1) + (0) + (+1) ≡ 0 (mod 3)

This ensures compositional coherence in the Cat# equipment structure.
