PeachBot FILA: A Lightweight Coordination Layer for Edge Intelligence Systems

#peachbot #ai #machinelearning #edge

⚠️ Scope & Disclosure

This repository is a limited, open-source subset of the PeachBot system.

  • It represents the coordination layer (FILA)
  • It does not include full system implementation
  • Some components are intentionally simplified or abstracted

The goal is to provide visibility into the structure and design approach, not the complete proprietary system.

What PeachBot FILA

PeachBot FILA (Federated Intelligence Layer) is a lightweight coordination protocol prototype designed for:

  • Structured communication between edge nodes
  • Metadata-based coordination (not raw data transfer)
  • Deterministic, inspectable system behavior

This repository focuses on how distributed components interact, not on model training or inference.

What FILA Is NOT

To avoid confusion, this repo does not:

  • Implement a full AI system
  • Perform model training
  • Replace existing ML frameworks
  • Expose internal production logic

It is a coordination layer prototype, not a complete platform.

Core Idea

Instead of sending raw data to a central system:

edge node → structured message → coordination layer → response
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This enables:

  • Reduced data movement
  • Better privacy control
  • Clear, structured communication

Architecture Overview

The system is structured as:

  • Node → generates structured metadata
  • Protocol Layer (FILA) → coordinates communication
  • System Context → maintains consistency across nodes

Execution Model

Typical flow:

  1. Node produces structured metadata
  2. Metadata is transmitted (not raw data)
  3. Coordination logic evaluates context
  4. System response is generated

Message Format (Simplified)

Example structure:

{
  "node": "PB-ALPHA",
  "signal_type": "temperature",
  "priority": "high",
  "timestamp": 1712345678
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This ensures:

  • Predictable communication
  • Easy debugging
  • System transparency

Key Characteristics

  • Deterministic coordination
  • Metadata-first communication
  • Minimal data transfer
  • Edge-compatible design
  • Inspectable system behavior

What’s Included in This Repo

  • Protocol structure (simplified)
  • Message handling examples
  • Basic coordination logic
  • Configuration patterns

What’s Intentionally Limited

To protect system integrity:

  • Full distributed orchestration
  • Advanced coordination strategies
  • Internal optimization logic
  • Production deployment layers

Installation 

git clone https://github.com/peachbotAI/peachbot-fila.git
cd peachbot-fila
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Setup 

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate   # Linux/macOS
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Windows 

venv\Scripts\activate
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Install Dependencies 

pip install -r requirements.txt
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Run Example 

python -m src.main
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

(Entry points may evolve as the repo develops.)

Testing 

pytest
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Design Approach

This repo explores:

  • Protocol-driven system design
  • Deterministic coordination models
  • Edge-compatible communication
  • Modular system architecture

Where This Fits in PeachBot

Within the broader system:

  • Core → state and decision logic
  • Deploy → execution and runtime
  • FILA → coordination and communication

This repo focuses only on the coordination layer.

Future Work (Open Portion)

  • Improved protocol validation
  • Better message schemas
  • Simulation tools for multi-node systems
  • Documentation and examples

Contributing

Contributions are welcome in areas like:

  • Protocol design
  • Distributed systems
  • Edge communication

Deterministic, protocol-first federated intelligence layer for edge-native systems using metadata-only coordination.

PeachBot FILA (Federated Intelligence Layer)

License Version Status Python Architecture Privacy

Edge Native No Cloud No LLM

Overview

PeachBot FILA is a protocol-first, deterministic, metadata-only coordination layer for edge-native distributed intelligence systems.

It enables multiple edge nodes to share contextual intelligence without sharing raw data.

What FILA Is Not

  • Not a message broker
  • Not a distributed system framework
  • Not federated learning
  • Not an API wrapper

FILA is a deterministic intelligence coordination protocol.

Core Principles

  • No Raw Data Transfer
  • No Centralized Control
  • No Cloud Dependency
  • Deterministic Behavior
  • Protocol-First Design

Architecture

Node A → publish metadata
Node B → publish metadata
System → deterministic sync → global_context

Execution Model

  1. Nodes publish metadata (no raw data)
  2. Messages are validated and hashed
  3. Trust and priority are applied
  4. Temporal decay adjusts influence
  5. Deterministic sync produces global_context

Message Format

{ "version": "1.0", "node": "A", "signal_type": "bio_signal", "priority": "high", "timestamp": 1.0, "hash": "...", "trust": 0.9 }

Edge Compatibility

FILA produces outputs strictly compatible with peachbot-edge:

{ "data": {…

Final Note

This repository is intended to:

Provide a transparent view of system structure while maintaining separation from proprietary implementation details.

It is best understood as a learning and exploration layer, not a complete system.
