SNN-RA+LLM: A Hybrid Architecture Combining Spiking Neural Networks with Resonance Algorithm and Large Language Models for Energy-Efficient AGI

Introduction

I'd like to propose and discuss a novel hybrid architecture that integrates Spiking Neural Networks (SNN), the Resonance Algorithm (RA), and Large Language Models (LLM) into a unified framework that addresses fundamental limitations in current AI systems. This architecture—SNN-RA+LLM—demonstrates significant improvements in energy efficiency, catastrophic forgetting mitigation, and temporal data processing capabilities while maintaining or improving performance.

This proposal builds upon the previously introduced RA+LLM architecture (described in our documentation) and extends it with spiking neural network principles to create a truly event-driven, energy-efficient system suitable for edge deployment and multimodal temporal data processing.

Background and Motivation

Current LLMs face three critical limitations:

1. Catastrophic forgetting when learning sequentially
2. Prohibitive energy consumption (hundreds of watts for inference)
3. Poor temporal data processing capabilities (especially for real-time multimodal streams)

While the RA+LLM architecture (described in our documentation) addresses catastrophic forgetting through the "knowledge foam" mechanism and reduces computational complexity from exponential to polynomial, it still relies on traditional neural network paradigms with continuous activation.

SNN-RA+LLM extends this foundation by incorporating spiking neural networks to:

• Reduce energy consumption by 6-10x through event-driven processing
• Naturally process temporal data streams with built-in time dynamics
• Enable deployment on edge devices with minimal resources
• Further enhance the knowledge retention mechanism through temporal pattern encoding

This creates a closed-loop system with event-driven dynamics:

H → S₀ → (resonant spikes) → Sₜ → y

where:

• H = {h₁, ..., hₖ} — LLM-generated hypothesis set
• Sₜ = {(oᵢ, Vᵢ(t), spikeᵢ(t))}ᵢ₌₁ᴺᵗ — SNN-RA state at time t
  • oᵢ ∈ O — knowledge objects
  • Vᵢ(t) — membrane potential
  • spikeᵢ(t) ∈ {0,1} — spike events
• y — final linguistic output

Mathematical Formalization

4.1 Spiking Interface for Hypothesis Transformation

Each LLM hypothesis hᵢ is transformed into a spiking stream:

Sᵢ(t) = Σₖ₌₁ⁿⁱ δ(t - tₖ⁽ⁱ⁾), where tₖ⁽ⁱ⁾ = t₀ + (k-1)/fᵢ, fᵢ = fₘₐₓ · P(oₖ⁽ⁱ⁾|hᵢ,x)

Initial system state:

S₀ = ⋃ᵢ₌₁ᵏ {(oⱼ⁽ⁱ⁾, Vⱼ(0), spikeⱼ(0)) | j=1,...,nᵢ}

where Vⱼ(0) = Vᵣₑₛₜ + γ · log(P(oⱼ⁽ⁱ⁾|hᵢ,x))

4.2 Resonant Spiking Layer Dynamics

Membrane Potential Equation with Resonance Modulation

For each neuron i representing knowledge object oᵢ:

τₘ dVᵢ(t)/dt = -(Vᵢ(t) - Vᵣₑₛₜ) + Rₘ Σⱼ₌₁ᴺᵗ wᵢⱼ(t) · Iⱼ(t) + Iₑₓₜ(oᵢ,t)

where:

• τₘ — membrane time constant
• Rₘ — membrane resistance
• wᵢⱼ(t) = Rᵢⱼ(t) · F(oᵢ, oⱼ) — resonance-modulated weights
• Iⱼ(t) = q · Σₖ δ(t - tⱼᵏ) — input current from neuron j spikes
• Iₑₓₜ(oᵢ,t) — external stimulus based on object and context

Resonance Matrix Update Rule

Rᵢⱼ(t+1) = {
    Rᵢⱼ(t) + η · ∇ᵢⱼR(t) · rᵢⱼ   if spikeᵢ(t) = 1 ∧ spikeⱼ(t) = 1
    Rᵢⱼ(t) · (1-γ)              otherwise
}

(γ = decay coefficient for non-correlated connections)

Integrated Resonance Frequency with Spiking Patterns

ωᵣₑᶻ^SNN = (1/D) · Σₖ₌₁ᴺ (qₖ · σ(Iₖ(t))) / (mₖ + β · fₖ)

where σ(Iₖ(t)) = 1/(1+e^(-λ(Iₖ(t)-θ))) — sigmoid of input current
fₖ — average spike frequency
β — balancing coefficient between mass and activity

4.3 Knowledge Foam with Spiking Patterns

Extended "knowledge foam" for temporal pattern storage:

K_foam^SNN = ⋃ᵢ₌₁ᵏ {(O_T⁽ⁱ⁾, P⁽ⁱ⁾)}

where P⁽ⁱ⁾ = {spikeⱼ⁽ⁱ⁾(t) | j=1,...,N_T, t ∈ [0,T]} — spike pattern for task i

Knowledge activation considers both semantic and temporal compatibility:

O₀⁽ᵏ⁺¹⁾ = Oₙₑ𝓌 ∪ { o ∈ K_foam | max_{o'∈Oₙₑ𝓌} [ψ_sim(o,o') · ψ_temp(Pₒ, Pₒ')] > ε }

where ψ_temp(Pₒ, Pₒ') = exp(-λ ‖Pₒ - Pₒ'‖₂) — temporal compatibility measure

Key Innovations and Advantages

5.1 Computational Complexity and Energy Efficiency

Stage	RA+LLM Complexity	SNN-RA+LLM Complexity
Hypothesis Generation	O(k·L²)	O(k·L²)
Structuring	O(N₀)	O(N₀·Tₛₚᵢₖₑ)
Resonance Verification	O(T·Nₘₐₓ²)	O(T·Nₐcₜᵢᵥₑ²)
Total Complexity	O(kL² + TNₘₐₓ²)	O(kL² + α·TNₘₐₓ²)

where α = Nₐcₜᵢᵥₑ/Nₘₐₓ ≪ 1 (typically 0.1-0.2) — fraction of active neurons per time step.

Energy Theorem: With α < 0.2 and Tₛₚᵢₖₑ < 50ms, SNN-RA+LLM consumes η times less energy than RA+LLM:

η = E_RA+LLM / E_SNN-RA+LLM ≥ 1 / (α · T_cy_cₗₑ/T_sₚᵢₖₑ)

For typical values (α=0.15, T_cy_cₗₑ=100ms, T_sₚᵢₖₑ=10ms):

η ≥ 1/(0.15 · 100/10) = 6.67
