Complete reference for the QDI/SpiralSafe quantum-coherence ecosystem
Version: 1.0.0
Repository: toolate28/QDI
Date: 2026-01-16
Status: Production-Ready
QDI (Quantum-Driven Intelligence) is a hub-and-spoke monorepo implementing:
- Quantum ethics framework with Qiskit backend
- Coherence-driven development (>60% threshold)
- Emergent AI system coordination across 6 repositories
- Wave analysis toolkit for quality measurement
- ATOM provenance trail for decision tracking
- MCP server for Claude Desktop integration
What makes QDI unique:
- TypeScript + Python hybrid (Qiskit bridge)
- Real quantum simulator with Bun runtime
- Ethical quantum computing built-in
- Self-organizing quality control
- Mathematical coherence as code quality metric

Runtime:
- Bun - Primary runtime (TS/JS execution)
- Python 3.12+ - Qiskit backend
- Node.js - Fallback compatibility
Languages:
- TypeScript 5.3+ - Core framework
- Python 3.12 - Quantum computing (Qiskit)
- JavaScript - Browser visualizations
Key Dependencies:
{
"typescript": "^5.3.0",
"@biomejs/biome": "^1.5.0",
"qiskit": ">=1.0,<3.0",
"qiskit-aer": ">=0.14,<1.0",
"pytest": ">=7,<10"
}No React/Vue/Angular - This is a toolkit/framework, not a UI app (except dashboard component)
Purpose: Mathematical coherence analysis using wave mechanics analogies
Key Exports:
export const FIBONACCI = [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144];
export const PHI = 1.618033988749895; // Golden ratio
export function analyzeWave(text: string): WaveAnalysis {
return {
coherence_score: number, // 0-100
coherence: {
curl: number, // Circular reasoning (0-1)
divergence: number, // Unresolved expansion (0-1)
potential: number, // Latent structure (0-1)
entropy: number // Information density (0-1)
},
warnings: string[],
chaos_score: number // Weighted by Fibonacci
};
}Calculation:
chaos_score = (curl × φ + divergence / φ) × FIBONACCI[floor(potential × 10)] / 100The Fibonacci weighting creates exponential sensitivity - small quality drops → large chaos spikes.

const qiskit = new QiskitIntegration({
backend: 'ibmq',

});Noise levels:
ideal- No noise (0% error rate)low- 0.5% error ratemedium- 2% error ratehigh- 5% error rate

});Optimization levels:
0- No optimization (fastest transpilation)1- Basic optimization (default)2- Heavy optimization (slower, better results)3- Maximum optimization (slowest, best results)
const qiskit = new QiskitIntegration({
backend: 'aer_simulator',

// By date
const recentExecs = tracker.getAuditTrail({

# Save results
pytest tests/ --benchmark-autosave --benchmark-name=baseline
# Compare to baseline
pytest tests/ --benchmark-compare=0001 --benchmark-compare-fail=mean:10%Typical benchmarks:
- Bell state circuit: 15-25ms
- 10-qubit GHZ state: 40-60ms
- 100-shot execution: 50-80ms
- 1000-shot execution: 200-300ms
1. Use appropriate backends:
- Prototyping: TypeScript native simulator
- Testing:
aer_simulator - Research:
statevector_simulator(no shots needed) - Production: IBM Quantum hardware
2. Batch executions:
const circuits = [circuit1, circuit2, circuit3];
const results = await Promise.all(
circuits.map(c => qiskit.executeCircuit(c))
);3. Cache provenance:
// Export once, import later
tracker.exportProvenance('cache.json');
// ... later ...
tracker.importProvenance('cache.json');4. Reduce shots for prototyping:
// Prototyping: 100-500 shots (faster)
// Testing: 1024 shots (default)
// Production: 2048-4096 shots (better statistics)1. Bun not found
