# Gmail ANIMA Skill
Transform Gmail into an ANIMA-condensed system with GF(3) conservation.
**Trit**: 0 (ERGODIC - coordinator)
**Principle**: Inbox Zero = Condensed Equilibrium State
**Implementation**: GmailACSet + TriadicQueues + AnimaDetector
## Overview
Gmail ANIMA applies the ANIMA framework to email:
1. **Transform** - Messages → GF(3)-typed Interactions
2. **Route** - Interactions → Triadic queue fibers (MINUS/ERGODIC/PLUS)
3. **Detect** - Saturation → ANIMA condensed state
4. **Verify** - Narya proofs for consistency
## GmailACSet Schema
```
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ GmailACSet Schema │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
│ Interaction ─────┬────▶ Thread │
│ ├─ verb: String │ ├─ thread_id: String │
│ ├─ timebin: Int │ ├─ needs_action: Bool │
│ ├─ trit: Trit │ ├─ last_action_bin: Int │
│ └─ person ───────┼──▶ └─ saturated: Bool │
│ │ │
│ QueueItem ───────┼────▶ Agent3 │
│ ├─ interaction ──┘ ├─ fiber: Trit {-1, 0, +1} │
│ └─ agent ───────────▶ └─ name: String │
│ │
│ Person ◀─────────────── Partner ────────────────▶ Person │
│ ├─ email: String ├─ src │
│ └─ name: String ├─ tgt │
│ └─ weight: Int │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
### Objects
| Object | Description | Trit Role |
|--------|-------------|-----------|
| `Interaction` | Single email action with verb + trit | Data |
| `Thread` | Gmail conversation with saturation state | Aggregate |
| `Agent3` | Queue fiber (MINUS/ERGODIC/PLUS) | Router |
| `QueueItem` | Links Interaction → Agent3 | Edge |
| `Person` | Email contact | Node |
| `Partner` | Relationship edge in contact graph | Edge |
## GF(3) Verb Typing
Gmail actions are assigned trits based on information flow:
```python
VERB_TRIT_MAP = {
# MINUS (-1): Consumption/Validation
"read": -1, "search": -1, "view": -1,
"fetch": -1, "list": -1,
# ERGODIC (0): Coordination/Metadata
"label": 0, "archive": 0, "snooze": 0,
"star": 0, "mark_read": 0, "mark_unread": 0,
"move": 0,
# PLUS (+1): Generation/Execution
"send": +1, "forward": +1, "reply": +1,
"schedule": +1, "draft": +1, "compose": +1,
}
```
### MCP Tool → Trit Mapping
| Tool | Trit | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| `search_gmail_messages` | -1 | Search inbox (MINUS) |
| `get_gmail_message_content` | -1 | Read message (MINUS) |
| `get_gmail_thread_content` | -1 | Read thread (MINUS) |
| `list_gmail_labels` | -1 | List labels (MINUS) |
| `modify_gmail_message_labels` | 0 | Change labels (ERGODIC) |
| `batch_modify_gmail_message_labels` | 0 | Bulk labels (ERGODIC) |
| `send_gmail_message` | +1 | Send email (PLUS) |
| `draft_gmail_message` | +1 | Create draft (PLUS) |
## Triadic Queue Routing
Interactions route to disjoint queue fibers:
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ TRIADIC QUEUES │
├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ │
Interaction ────▶│ route(trit) ───▶ Agent3 Fiber │
│ │
│ MINUS (-1) ────▶ [read, search, ...] │
│ ERGODIC (0) ────▶ [label, archive, ...]│
│ PLUS (+1) ────▶ [send, reply, ...] │
│ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
### Invariants
1. **No duplication**: Each interaction in exactly one fiber
2. **Route invariant**: `agent_of(i) = route(trit(i))`
3. **Ordering**: PLUS must be preceded by MINUS in same thread
4. **Conservation**: Thread trit sum ≡ 0 (mod 3) at cycle close
### Queue Depth Balance
```python
def saturation_metrics(queues: Dict[Agent3, deque]) -> Dict:
depths = [len(q) for q in queues.values()]
return {
'balance_ratio': min(depths) / max(depths), # 1.0 = perfect
'gf3_residue': sum(i.trit for q in queues for i in q) % 3,
}
```
## Saturation Detection → ANIMA State
Saturation occurs when a thread reaches stable equilibrium:
```python
def is_saturated(thread_id: str) -> bool:
"""Thread is saturated when:
1. No change in needs_action for N steps
2. GF(3) cycle closure: sum(trits) ≡ 0 (mod 3)
3. History window shows identical states
"""
history = detector.history[thread_id][-N:]
cycle_sum = sum(t for t in thread.gf3_cycle[-3:])
return (
all(s == history[0] for s in history) and # Stable
(cycle_sum % 3) == 0 # Conserved
)
```
### ANIMA Detection
```python
def detect_anima() -> Dict:
"""System at ANIMA when:
1. All threads saturated
2. GF(3) conserved globally
3. Equivalence classes stable
4. Replay invariance holds
"""
return {
"at_anima": all_saturated and gf3_conserved and stable_impacts,
"condensed_fingerprint": sha256(sorted_equiv_classes),
"persistence_bars_stable": True,
}
```
**Inbox Zero as ANIMA**: When all threads reach saturation with GF(3) conservation, the inbox is in condensed equilibrium.

## Workflows
### Workflow 1: Triage Inbox to ANIMA
```python
from gmail_mcp_bridge import create_gmail_bridge
from anima_detector import AnimaDetector
# Create bridge
bridge = create_gmail_bridge("user@gmail.com")
detector = AnimaDetector(saturation_threshold=5)
# MINUS: Read unread messages
bridge.search_gmail_messages("is:unread")
for msg in results:
bridge.get_gmail_message_content(msg.id, thread_id=msg.thread_id)
detector.update_thread(msg.thread_id, trit=Trit.MINUS)
# ERGODIC: Label/archive processed
for msg in processed:
bridge.modify_gmail_message_labels(
msg.id,
add_label_ids=["Label_Processed"],
remove_label_ids=["INBOX"],
thread_id=msg.thread_id
)
detector.update_thread(msg.thread_id, trit=Trit.ERGODIC)
# Check ANIMA
anima = detector.detect_anima()
if anima["at_anima"]:
say("Inbox at ANIMA. Condensed state achieved.")
```
### Workflow 2: Reply with GF(3) Guard
```python
# MINUS first: Read the thread
bridge.get_gmail_thread_content(thread_id) # trit=-1
# PLUS: Reply (requires prior MINUS)
try:
bridge.send_gmail_message(
to="reply@example.com",
subject="Re: Topic",
body="Response...",
thread_id=thread_id,
in_reply_to=original_message_id
) # trit=+1
except GF3ConservationError:
# Must read before sending
bridge.get_gmail_thread_content(thread_id) # Retry after MINUS
bridge.send_gmail_message(...)
```
### Workflow 3: Batch Triage with Saturation
```python
# Create balanced batch
batch = create_triadic_batch(
payloads=["read_1", "label_1", "archive_1"], # Will balance to 0
thread_id="batch_thread",
seed=1069
)
system = TriadicQueueSystem()
for interaction in batch:
if system.enqueue(interaction):
print(f"✓ {interaction.payload} → {interaction.agent.name}")
# Check metrics
stats = system.full_statistics()
print(f"GF(3) Residue: {stats['saturation']['gf3_residue']}") # 0
print(f"Cycles Closed: {stats['operations']['cycles_closed']}")
```
### Workflow 4: Sheaf Cohomology Verification
```python
# After processing
h1 = bridge.verify_h1_obstruction()
print(f"H¹ obstructions: {h1['h1']}")
print(f"Globally consistent: {h1['globally_consistent']}")
# Obstructions = threads not at GF(3) = 0
for v in h1['violations']:
print(f" Thread {v['thread_id']}: residue={v['mod_3']}")
```

gmail-anima (0) ⊗ bisimulation-game (-1) ⊗ send (+1) = 0 ✓
read (-1) ⊗ label (0) ⊗ reply (+1) = 0 ✓
```
## Cross-Skill Integration
Gmail-ANIMA integrates with the full workspace via `WorkspaceACSet`:
### Morphisms from Gmail
| Morphism | Target | Trigger | GF(3) Effect |
|----------|--------|---------|--------------|
| `thread_file` | DriveFile | Attachment detected | 0 (ERGODIC) |
| `thread_event` | CalendarEvent | Meeting scheduled | +1 (PLUS) |
| `thread_task` | Task | Action item identified | +1 (PLUS) |
### Workflow Paths
```python
# Gmail → Task (balanced)
path = gmail_read >> task_create # -1 + 1 = 0 ✓
# Full workflow (needs balancing)
full = gmail_read >> drive_create >> calendar_create >> task_create
balanced = balance_path(full) # Auto-adds ERGODIC steps
```
### MCP ↔ API Equivalence
Gmail operations can be executed via MCP tools or direct API:
```python
# Equivalent executions
mcp_result = bridge.execute_mcp("send_gmail_message", params)
api_result = bridge.execute_api("gmail_send", params)
assert mcp_result.state == api_result.state
```

|---------------|---------------------|
| **Saturation** | Thread trit sum ≡ 0 (mod 3) |
| **Condensation** | Equivalence class collapse |
| **MaxEnt Default** | needs_action=False initially |
| **Persistence** | Only flip when forced |
| **Replay Invariance** | Schedule-independent fingerprint |
## Say Narration Integration

from gmail_mcp_bridge import NaryaLogger
logger = NaryaLogger(voice="Ava (Premium)")
# Announces: "Gmail bridge: MINUS transition"
logger.log(before, after, Trit.MINUS, impact=False)
# Announces: "Gmail bridge: PLUS transition, impact detected"
logger.log(before, after, Trit.PLUS, impact=True)
```
