NEBULA Photonic Neural Network for ARC-AGI
NEBULA (Neural Emulated Beings Using Light Architecture) is a novel photonic neural network that simulates light-based computation through raytracing for solving spatial reasoning tasks like ARC-AGI.
Francisco Angulo de Lafuente - Project NEBULA Team
🌟 Key Innovation
NEBULA represents a groundbreaking approach to neural architecture design by authentically simulating photonic computation within standard PyTorch models. Instead of traditional matrix multiplications, NEBULA processes information through:
- Photonic Raytracing Simulation: Converting tensors to simulated light rays with interference patterns
- Quantum Memory Neurons: 4-qubit quantum state simulation for enhanced memory
- Holographic Memory: FFT-based spatial pattern storage mimicking optical holography
- Light-Weight Integration: Bridging classical and photonic paradigms
🎯 Architecture Overview

🚀 Quick Start
Installation
pip install torch transformers numpy gradio
Basic Usage
import torch
from nebula_model import NEBULAPhotonicARC
# Load model
model = NEBULAPhotonicARC.from_pretrained("FranciscoAngulo/nebula-photonic-arc")
# Prepare input grid (30x30 maximum)
input_grid = torch.tensor(your_arc_grid, dtype=torch.float32).unsqueeze(0)
# Generate prediction
with torch.no_grad():
outputs = model(input_grid)
prediction = torch.argmax(outputs['grid_predictions'], dim=-1)
print("NEBULA Prediction:", prediction.squeeze().numpy())

🔬 Technical Details
Photonic Simulation
NEBULA simulates photonic computation through:
# Tensor to Light Conversion
light_rays = self.tensor_to_photonic(hidden_states)
# Interference Pattern Simulation
for layer in self.photonic_core:
light_rays = layer(light_rays)
# Simulate constructive/destructive interference
light_rays = light_rays + 0.1 * previous_rays
# Quantum Superposition States
quantum_states = self.quantum_memory(light_rays)
# 4-qubit simulation: 16 possible superposition states
Training Methodology
- Quality-First Approach: "No tenemos prisa, necesitamos buenos resultados"
- Conservative Learning Rates: Stable convergence prioritized over speed
- Authentic Data Only: No synthetic shortcuts or data augmentation tricks
- Early Stopping: Prevent overfitting, maintain generalization
