MABEAM Foundation Core: Universal BEAM Orchestration Infrastructure
Overview
The Foundation.MABEAM.Core module provides the universal BEAM orchestration infrastructure that transforms variables from local parameter tuners into distributed cognitive control planes. This core infrastructure leverages OTP’s supervision trees and the actor model to create self-optimizing multi-agent systems.
Core Architecture
Foundation.MABEAM.Core - Universal Variable Orchestrator
The core orchestrator manages agent coordination and variable optimization across the BEAM cluster.
Foundation.MABEAM.AgentRegistry - Agent Lifecycle Management
Registry for managing agent lifecycle, supervision, and metadata with fault-tolerant agent management.
Foundation.MABEAM.Coordination - Basic Coordination Protocols
Basic coordination protocols for multi-agent variable optimization including negotiation, consensus, and conflict resolution.
Integration with Foundation Services
The MABEAM core integrates seamlessly with existing Foundation services through service registration, event integration, and telemetry integration.

Integration with Foundation Services
The MABEAM core integrates seamlessly with existing Foundation services:
Service Registration
# Register MABEAM as a Foundation service
Foundation.Services.ServiceRegistry.register_service(
Foundation.MABEAM.Core,
%{
type: :orchestration,
capabilities: [:multi_agent, :variable_coordination, :fault_tolerance],
dependencies: [:process_registry, :events, :telemetry]
}
)
Event Integration
# MABEAM emits events through Foundation's event system
Foundation.Events.emit(:mabeam_coordination_completed, %{
variable_id: :temperature,
affected_agents: [:coder, :reviewer],
coordination_result: :success
})
Telemetry Integration
# MABEAM leverages Foundation's telemetry infrastructure
:telemetry.execute([:mabeam, :coordination, :duration], %{duration: 150}, %{
variable_id: :temperature,
agent_count: 3,
coordination_type: :weighted_consensus

Benefits of Foundation-Based Architecture
- Reusability: Any BEAM application can use MABEAM orchestration
- Fault Tolerance: Built on Foundation’s graceful degradation patterns
- Observability: Comprehensive telemetry and event tracking
- Distribution Ready: Foundation already architected for clustering
- OTP Native: Deep integration with supervision trees and actor model
Next Steps
- MABEAM_03_DSPEX_INTEGRATION.md: Design DSPEx integration layer
- MABEAM_04_COORDINATION.md: Advanced coordination protocols
- MABEAM_05_DISTRIBUTION.md: Cluster distribution capabilities
- Implementation and testing of Foundation.MABEAM.Core
