These models are explicitly designed for **time-evolving graph data**—perfect for tracking nodes (e.g., paths or context blobs) and edges (e.g. inheritance, version links) over time. + +--- + +## 🧠 1. Temporal Graph Networks (TGNs) — an ideal fit for evolving context + +* **TGN architecture** processes a stream of time-stamped events (e.g. new context blob at path, version update, parent-child change) and updates **node-level memory embeddings**, allowing representation of each entity’s evolving state ([arXiv][1], [GitHub][2]). +* These embeddings capture both structural and temporal dynamics—so your system can reason about past context versions, detect divergence, and flag incoherence across agents over time. + +Other relevant models include: + +* **Know‑Evolve**: modeling non-linear evolution of relationships over time as point processes benchmarked in knowledge graphs ([arXiv][3], [Proceedings of Machine Learning Research][4]). +* **EvolveGCN**: uses an RNN to evolve GCN parameters rather than individual embeddings, helpful in link or version prediction scenarios ([arXiv][5]). + +--- + +## 🎯 2.

Let’s map that out: + +--- + +## 🔁 1. Graph + Permissions + Temporal Events + +Imagine your HCFS as a temporal graph where: + +* **Nodes** represent paths, context blobs, and agent identities. +* **Edges** model relationships: `parent-path`, `version-of`, and **permission-grant** (e.g. agent-to-path). +* Each change (e.g. permission granted/revoked, context blob added/updated) emits an **event**: `(src_node, dst_node, event_type, timestamp)`—fit for PyG-T's `TemporalData` structure ([PyG Documentation][1]). + +Example events: + +``` +(agentA → path /submodule): PERMISSION_GRANTED at t1 +(path /submodule): CONTEXT_UPDATED by agentA at t2 +(agentA → path): PERMISSION_REVOKED at t3 +``` + +--- + +## 🧠 2. Use Case: Permission Cascades → Context Exposure Changes + +### Scenario: + +* **Submodule `/modX`** changes permissions: agent A loses read access at time t3. +* That revocation should trigger a **context cascade**: any context blobs previously created by agent A for `/modX` are no longer visible to A or its group, and any derived context (e.g. merged summaries) may need invalidation or regeneration. + +### TGN Role: + +* A **Temporal Graph Neural Network** can learn and flag such cascades. By training on sequences of permission-change events and context-access events, your model can predict which context blobs become stale or inaccessible due to new permission states. + +--- + +## ⚙️ 3. Implementation Sketch with PyTorch Geometric Temporal + +### A. Event Stream Construction + +Use PyG-T’s `TemporalData` API to build your dataset: + +```python +from torch_geometric.data import TemporalData +events = TemporalData( + src=torch.tensor([...]), # source node IDs + dst=torch.tensor([...]), # destination node IDs + t=torch.tensor([...]), # timestamps + msg=torch.tensor([...]) # event types encoded +) +``` + +Event types encode changes: `PERMISSION_GRANTED`, `REVOKE`, `CONTEXT_UPDATE`, `MERGE`, etc. ([PyG Documentation][1]) + +### B. Model Choice + +* Use recurrent layers like `GConvGRU` or `GConvLSTM` to process evolving structure and events. This allows the model to remember prior permission relationships and context updates. ([PyTorch Forums][2], [PyTorch Forums][3]) + +### C. Training Task + +* **Label** context exposure windows correctly: whether agent had valid permission at query time. +* **Train** to predict: (a) contexts that must be invalidated upon a permission revocation, (b) agents likely to be impacted by a permission change. + +You can also forecast which agents will be affected by future cascading permission changes. + +--- + +## 👁️ 4. Operational Integration + +### Monitoring Pipeline: + +1. Every permission or context change emits an event into your temporal graph. +2. TGN model continuously ingests event stream, updating node embeddings. +3. Agent requests for context trigger a check: + + * Is the agent’s embedding synchronized with the latest permission state? + * Does the model flag outdated or stale blobs needing recompute? + +### Coherence Actions: + +* On permission cascade, generate tasks to: + + * Invalidate or reassign context blobs, + * Regenerate summaries for authorized agents, + * Notify subscribed agents of access revocation. + +--- + +## 📊 Summary Table + +| Component | Description | +| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | +| **Event stream** | Captures permission and context changes as timestamped edges/nodes in a TemporalData graph | +| **Dynamic permission node** | Connection between agent and path nodes representing access rights | +| **TGN model** | Processes events to update node embedding states over time | +| **Training objective** | Predict context invalidation needs and agents affected by permission shifts | +| **Run-time check** | On context fetch, ensure embedding reflects current permissions; flag stale data | + +--- + +## 📚 Supporting References + +* PyTorch Geometric Temporal’s `TemporalData` API handles event-based temporal graphs elegantly for this use case ([PyG Documentation][1]). +* Discussions of node-feature input shapes and recurrent temporal GNNs (`GConvGRU`, `GConvLSTM`) show how to structure the learning model ([PyTorch Forums][3], [PyTorch Forums][2]). +* Relationship-based access control (ReBAC) aligns with modeling permissions as graph relationships between agents and resources ([Wikipedia][4]). + +--- + +## 🚀 Next Steps: + +1. Define node and edge IDs: assign IDs to agents, paths, and context blobs. +2. Build event collector to log permission and context operations with timestamps. +3. Construct `TemporalData` sequences for model ingestion. +4. Prototype a TGN using PyG-T, train on synthetic cascades (grant → context update → revoke). +5.
