SolverTree
Active hierarchy of coordinated solver instances
Definition
Mechanism
The active command structure that organizes SolverNode instances into a coordinated Topology for solving a Task. Unlike a passive data tree, this structure represents the flow of Authority (downwards via delegation) and Results (upwards via reporting). Resources (Budget) cascade from the RootSolver to children; outcomes propagate back up. Each node is a unit of attribution — failures can be traced to specific SolverNodes for LocalizedLearning. At decomposition time the structure is tree-like, but at execution time fan-in and deduplication are permitted, making the runtime a DAG.
Invariants
- Budget flows down; results flow up.
- All nodes are traceable back to the RootSolver.
- Acyclic in both phases: a Tree at decomposition, a DAG at execution.
Risks
Failure modes
Fragmentation
Sub-trees become disconnected from the Root, breaking the command chain.
Budget Exhaustion
Resources depleted before solution found.
Blame Diffusion
Failures cannot be attributed to specific nodes.
