This PR implements Phase 3 of the TutorialKit Cognitive Architecture, introducing custom GGML kernels for seamless neural-symbolic computation and inference. The implementation provides a complete neural-symbolic synthesis pipeline with real-time performance monitoring and optimization.

🎯 Implementation Overview

Phase 3 builds upon the existing cognitive architecture (Phases 1 & 2) to add advanced neural-symbolic reasoning capabilities through custom GGML kernels:

import { 
  CognitiveGGMLKernelRegistry, 
  TutorialKitNeuralSymbolicPipeline,
  TensorOperationProfiler 
} from '@tutorialkit/types/cognitive';

// Create custom symbolic reasoning kernel
const symbolicOperator = new SymbolicTensorOperator(atomSpace);
const kernel = symbolicOperator.createSymbolicTensorKernel(
  'prerequisite-analyzer',
  {
    operation: 'symbolic-reasoning',
    atomSpaceQuery: 'prerequisite',
    inferenceRules: ['transitivity', 'dependency_chain'],
    resultMapping: (nodes) => new Float32Array(nodes.map(n => n.strength || 0))
  },
  { modality: 4, depth: 8, context: 6, salience: 7, autonomyIndex: 3 }
);

// Process tutorial data through neural-symbolic pipeline
const pipeline = new TutorialKitNeuralSymbolicPipeline(atomSpace);
const neural = await pipeline.processSymbolicToNeural(symbolicRepresentation);
const synthesis = await pipeline.synthesize(symbolicRepresentation, neural);
