+# Holographic + Vector Hybrid Memory Architecture
+
+**Issue:** #663 — Research: Combining HRR Compositional Queries with Semantic Search
+**Date:** 2026-04-14
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+The optimal memory architecture is a **hybrid** combining three methods:
+- **HRR (Holographic Reduced Representations)** — Compositional reasoning
+- **Vector Search (Qdrant)** — Semantic similarity
+- **FTS5 (SQLite Full-Text Search)** — Exact keyword matching
+
+No single method covers all use cases. Each excels at different query types.
+
+## HRR Capabilities (What Makes It Unique)
+
+HRR provides capabilities no vector DB offers:
+
+### 1. Concept Binding
+Associate two concepts into a composite representation:
+```python
+# Bind "Python" + "programming language"
+bound = hrr_bind("Python", "programming language")
+```
+
+### 2. Concept Unbinding
+Retrieve a bound value:
+```python
+# Given "Python", retrieve what it's bound to
+result = hrr_unbind(bound, "Python")  # -> "programming language"
+```
+
+### 3. Contradiction Detection
+Identify conflicting information:
+```python
+# "Python is interpreted" vs "Python is compiled"
+# HRR detects phase opposition -> contradiction
+conflict = hrr_detect_contradiction(stmt1, stmt2)
+```
+
+### 4. Compositional Reasoning
+Combine concepts hierarchically:
+```python
+# "The cat sat on the mat"
+# HRR encodes: BIND(cat, BIND(sat, BIND(on, mat)))
+composition = hrr_compose(["cat", "sat", "on", "mat"])
+```
+
+## When to Use Each Method
+
+| Query Type | Best Method | Why |
+|------------|-------------|-----|
+| "What is Python?" | Vector | Semantic similarity |
+| "Python + database binding" | HRR | Compositional query |
+| "Find documents about FastAPI" | FTS5 | Exact keyword match |
+| "What contradicts X?" | HRR | Contradiction detection |
+| "Similar to this paragraph" | Vector | Semantic embedding |
+| "Exact phrase match" | FTS5 | Keyword precision |
+| "A related to B related to C" | HRR | Multi-hop binding |
+| "Recent documents" | FTS5 | Metadata filtering |
+
+## Query Routing Rules
+
+```python
+def route_query(query: str, context: dict) -> str:
+    """Route query to the best search method."""
+    
+    # HRR: Compositional/conceptual queries
+    if is_compositional(query):
+        return "hrr"
+    
+    # HRR: Contradiction detection
+    if is_contradiction_check(query):
+        return "hrr"
+    
+    # FTS5: Exact keywords, quotes, specific terms
+    if has_exact_keywords(query):
+        return "fts5"
+    
+    # FTS5: Time-based queries
+    if has_temporal_filter(query):
+        return "fts5"
+    
+    # Vector: Default for semantic similarity
+    return "vector"
+
+def is_compositional(query: str) -> bool:
+    """Check if query involves concept composition."""
+    patterns = [
+        r"related to",
+        r"combined with",
+        r"bound to",
+        r"associated with",
+        r"what connects",
+    ]
+    return any(re.search(p, query.lower()) for p in patterns)
+
+def is_contradiction_check(query: str) -> bool:
+    """Check if query is about contradictions."""
+    patterns = [
+        r"contradicts?",
+        r"conflicts? with",
+        r"inconsistent",
+        r"opposite of",
+    ]
+    return any(re.search(p, query.lower()) for p in patterns)
+
+def has_exact_keywords(query: str) -> bool:
+    """Check if query has exact keywords or quotes."""
+    return '"' in query or "'" in query or len(query.split()) <= 3
+```
+
+## Hybrid Result Merging
+
+### Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF)
+
+Combine ranked results from multiple methods:
+
+```python
+def reciprocal_rank_fusion(
+    results: Dict[str, List[Tuple[str, float]]],
+    k: int = 60
+) -> List[Tuple[str, float]]:
+    """
+    Merge results using RRF.
+    
+    Args:
+        results: {"hrr": [(id, score), ...], "vector": [...], "fts5": [...]}
+        k: RRF constant (default 60)
+    
+    Returns:
+        Merged and re-ranked results
+    """
+    scores = defaultdict(float)
+    
+    for method, ranked_items in results.items():
+        for rank, (item_id, _) in enumerate(ranked_items, 1):
+            scores[item_id] += 1.0 / (k + rank)
+    
+    return sorted(scores.items(), key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)
+```
+
+### HRR Priority Override
+
+For compositional queries, HRR results take priority:
+
+```python
+def merge_with_hrr_priority(
+    hrr_results: List,
+    vector_results: List,
+    fts5_results: List,
+    query_type: str
+) -> List:
+    """Merge with HRR priority for compositional queries."""
+    
+    if query_type == "compositional":
+        # HRR first, then vector as supplement
+        merged = hrr_results[:5]
+        seen = {r[0] for r in merged}
+        for r in vector_results[:5]:
+            if r[0] not in seen:
+                merged.append(r)
+        return merged
+    
+    # Default: RRF merge
+    return reciprocal_rank_fusion({
+        "hrr": hrr_results,
+        "vector": vector_results,
+        "fts5": fts5_results
+    })
+```
+

+
+## Preserving HRR Unique Capabilities
+
+### Rules
+
+1. **Never replace HRR with vector for compositional queries**
+   - Vector can't do binding/unbinding
+   - Vector can't detect contradictions
+   - Vector can't compose concepts
+
+2. **HRR is primary for relational queries**
+   - "What relates X to Y?"
+   - "What contradicts this?"
+   - "Combine concept A with concept B"
+
+3. **Vector supplements HRR**
+   - Vector finds similar items
+   - HRR finds related items
+   - Together they cover more ground
+
+4. **FTS5 handles exact matches**
+   - Keyword search
+   - Time-based filtering
+   - Metadata queries
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: HRR Plugin (Existing)
+- Implement holographic.py with binding/unbinding
+- Phase encoding for compositional queries
+- Contradiction detection via phase opposition
+
+### Phase 2: Vector Integration
+- Add Qdrant as vector backend
+- Embed memories for semantic search
+- Maintain HRR alongside vector
+
+### Phase 3: Hybrid Router
+- Query classification
+- Method selection
+- Result merging with RRF
+
+### Phase 4: Testing
+- Benchmark each method
+- Test hybrid routing
+- Verify HRR preservation
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+- HRR compositional queries: 90%+ accuracy
+- Vector semantic search: 85%+ relevance
+- Hybrid routing: Correct method 95%+ of the time
+- Contradiction detection: 80%+ precision
