feat: Matrix — Neural Task Intelligence (v5)

Trained retrieval model for 100K+ AI capability search.
ColBERT 128-dim distilled from text-embedding-3-small, 30 epochs on H100.

- 66,016 capabilities indexed (skills, tools, agents, apps)
- Hybrid RRF search: vector + full-text + neural routing
- Live at matrix.hyper.space
- CLI: hyperspace search matrix
- P2P: /hyperspace/matrix/1.0.0 (9th GAP primitive)
- Training: 189K samples, 93 min, loss 1.93 → 0.155

+# Matrix — Neural Task Intelligence
+
+**Describe what you want to do. Matrix finds the right skill, tool, or agent.**
+
+Matrix is a trained neural retrieval model that searches 100,000+ AI capabilities — skills, tools, agents, and apps — using semantic understanding rather than keyword matching.
+
+## Try It
+
+**Web:** [matrix.hyper.space](https://matrix.hyper.space)
+
+**CLI:**
+```bash
+hyperspace search matrix "deploy my app to kubernetes with monitoring"
+```
+
+**API:**
+```bash
+curl -X POST https://matrix.hyper.space/api/search \
+  -d '{"query": "optimize SQL queries", "top_k": 10}'
+```
+

+## Model
+
+- **Backbone:** Qwen2.5-1.5B (frozen)
+- **Retrieval head:** ColBERT 128-dim with distillation from text-embedding-3-small
+- **Training:** 189K samples (139K synthetic + 50K hard-negative triplets), 30 epochs on H100
+- **Capabilities indexed:** 66,016 (21K tools + 43K skills + 1.2K agents + 50 mobile apps)
+- **Domains:** code, web, data, infra, docs, agents, mobile, blockchain
+
+## Search Pipeline (Hybrid RRF)
+
+Production search uses Reciprocal Rank Fusion combining:
+1. **Vector search** — OpenAI text-embedding-3-small (1536-dim, pgvector)
+2. **Full-text search** — PostgreSQL tsvector + BM25 + pg_trgm
+3. **Neural routing** — Matrix-2 ColBERT domain classification
+
+Results are fused using RRF (k=60), same approach as [qmd](https://github.com/tobi/qmd).
+
+## P2P Integration
+
+Matrix is the 9th primitive in the [Hyperspace Gossiping Agents Protocol](https://protocol.hyper.space):
+
+```
+/hyperspace/matrix/1.0.0
+
+Gossip topics:
+  hyperspace/matrix/feedback    — user votes from all nodes
+  hyperspace/matrix/discovery   — new skills gossipped
+  hyperspace/matrix/model       — weight updates after retraining
+```
+
+Every node can run Matrix locally (~4GB VRAM). Feedback from all nodes aggregates into training data via gossip. The model improves from the network, for the network.
+
+## Training
+
+```bash
+# Generate distillation data (mines hard negatives from OpenAI embeddings)
+python3 train_v5_fast.py --epochs 30 --batch-size 1024 --lr 2e-4
+
+# v5 results: loss 1.93 → 0.155 in 93 min on H100
+#   distill_loss: 0.86 → 0.30 (ColBERT aligned 70% with OpenAI)
+#   contrastive_loss: 0.05 → 0.01 (strong discrimination)
+```
+
+## Experiment Log
+
+| Version | Date | Capabilities | Retrieval Quality | Notes |
+|---------|------|-------------|-------------------|-------|
+| v2 | 2026-02-11 | 31,900 | 53.9% ret@1 | First working retrieval |
+| v3 | 2026-02-28 | 66,016 | 5.9% ret@1 | 2x capability space, quality dropped |
+| v4 | 2026-03-08 | 66,016 | 19.1% ret@1 | 30 epochs, but _orig_mod bug in deploy |
+| v5 | 2026-03-19 | 66,016 | TBD | Distilled from OpenAI, 93 min H100 |
