 /*
- * mixer.c — BQSM Mixing Ring Prototype
+ * mixer.c — BQSM Mixing Ring Inference Engine
  *
  * Single mixing ring architecture:
- *   N input rings (tokens) → 1 mixer ring (attention) → vocab projection (LM head)
+ *   N input rings (tokens, embedded) -> 1 mixer ring (attention) -> vocab projection (LM head)
  *
- * Each ring has 16 oscillators (8 harmonics x 2 re/im).
- * Tokens carry 15 DOF. The mixer ring acts as a parallel attention stretch
- * that holds forced values. When all rings converge (nothing snaps), the
- * system has reached equilibrium.
+ * Weight encoding is IDENTICAL to phoenix_brain.c:
+ *   - Ternary weights {-1, 0, +1} decoded from packed 2-bit format
+ *   - Token embeddings extracted as LM head columns (D x V packed 2-bit)
+ *   - Vocab projection: dot product of state vector with LM head column
  *
- * Build: cc -O3 -std=c11 -march=native -fopenmp mixer.c -o mixer -lm
- * Run:   ./mixer model.bqsm -s 2        (model mode, 2 settle steps)
- *        ./mixer -t -s 3 -r 16          (test mode, 16 rings, 3 steps)
+ * The novelty: instead of 48 sequential settling passes (phoenix), the
+ * mixing ring does N parallel rings -> 1 mixer in 2-3 settle steps.
+ * The attention math matches llama.cpp: the same QK projection, the same
+ * LM head weights, the same argmax sampling. We just blend via wave
+ * interference instead of sequential transformer layers.
+ *
+ * Ring buffer I/O protocol (same as phoenix_brain.c --chat mode):
+ *   Input:  /tmp/phoenix_ring_in  [head u32][tail u32][size u32][cap u32][tokens]
+ *   Output: /tmp/phoenix_ring_out [same layout]
+ *
+ * Build: cc -O3 -std=c11 -fopenmp mixer.c -o mixer -lm
+ * Run:   ./mixer model.bqsm       (chat mode via ring buffers)
+ *        ./mixer -t -s 3 -r 16    (test mode)
