09 — Quantum-classical fusion (ADR-114 demo)

Working numpy demo of the cog-quantum-vitals architecture: classical CSI for multi-subject context, NV-diamond magnetometry for per-patient HRV contour fidelity.

Scripts

Script	Thread	Headline
r20_1_quantum_classical_fusion.py	R20.1	Bayesian fusion of CSI (R14 V1 breathing) + NV-diamond cardiac magnetometry. Empirically confirms R13 NEGATIVE (classical HR conf 38%, 105 BPM estimate vs 72 truth) AND doc 16's cube-of-distance bound (27× signal drop 1 m → 3 m).

Five confirmations from the demo

1. Classical breathing rate is reliable — 15.00 BPM correct (14 dB SNR)
2. Classical HR is unreliable — 105 BPM vs 72 truth, conf 38% (R13 NEGATIVE empirically confirmed)
3. NV cardiac at 1 m works — 72.00 BPM correct, SDNN 119 ms (R13 recovery validated)
4. Cube-of-distance falloff is real — 6.25 pT @ 1 m → 0.23 pT @ 3 m (27× drop, matches 1/r³)
5. Fusion produces correct breathing + improved HR at bedside

Production status

ADR-114 specifies ~200 LOC Rust port; this 140 LOC numpy demo runs in <100 ms and validates the architecture. Engineering risk for cog-quantum-vitals (Tier 4.x in PRODUCTION-ROADMAP.md) is substantially lowered.

Bedside cost (per ADR-114)

Component	Cost
4× ESP32-S3	$60
1× NV-diamond (today / 2028)	$200-2,000 / ~$200
Mount + calibration	$50
Total	$310-$2,110

vs clinical continuous monitor: $3,000-$10,000.

Honest scope

• Synthetic NV signals (nvsim is also a simulator)
• Cube-of-distance assumes clean dipole field
• HRV extraction = simple threshold (production needs Pan-Tompkins QRS)
• Naive Bayesian fusion (production needs threshold-based hand-off when NV confidence > 60%)

Composes with

• 01-physics-floor/r6_1_multiscatterer.py — provides the forward operator the fusion extends
• 06-structure-detection/r12_1_pose_pabs_loop.py — pose-PABS hook in ADR-114 architecture
• 07-negative-results/r13_bp_physics_floor.py — the negative result this demo recovers
