Architecture Overview
---------------------

### System Components

The SILOQY DOLPHIN system operates within a single Nautilus TradingNode instance
with four core actors:

1.  **SILOQYSymbolDiscoveryActor**: Symbol discovery and candle reconstruction

2.  **SILOQYMainActor**: Real-time data ingestion and WebSocket management  
    

3.  **DOLPHINRegimeActor**: Market regime detection and analysis

4.  **SILOQYNormalizerActor**: Tick normalization and format standardization

### Data Flow Architecture

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
External Market Data → SILOQYMainActor → MessageBus → [DOLPHINRegimeActor, SILOQYNormalizerActor] 
                                                   ↓
                                          Custom SILOQY Components
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

### Shared Node Pattern

**Critical Design Principle:** New SILOQY components MUST integrate into the
existing TradingNode instance rather than creating separate nodes. This ensures:
- Shared message bus access - Unified actor lifecycle management - Consistent
resource allocation - Optimal performance through single-process architecture

Nautilus Message Bus Communication
----------------------------------

### Message Bus Access Pattern

All SILOQY actors gain access to the Nautilus MessageBus through the standard
Nautilus actor initialization:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
class MySILOQYComponent(Actor):
    def __init__(self, config: MyComponentConfig):
        super().__init__(config)
        # MessageBus is available as self.msgbus after Nautilus initialization
    
    def on_start(self) -> None:
        # Subscribe to topics ONLY in on_start()
        if hasattr(self, 'msgbus') and self.msgbus:
            self.msgbus.subscribe("SILOQY.MY.TOPIC", self.handle_my_data)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

### Message Publishing Protocol

**High-Performance Publishing Pattern:**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
def publish_siloqy_data(self, topic: str, data: Any) -> None:
    """Standard SILOQY publishing pattern"""
    try:
        if hasattr(self, 'msgbus') and self.msgbus:
            self.msgbus.publish(topic, data)
        else:
            self.log.error("MessageBus not available for publishing")
    except Exception as e:
        self.log.error(f"Failed to publish to {topic}: {e}")
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

### Subscription Management

**Thread-Safe Subscription Pattern:**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
def on_start(self) -> None:
    """Subscribe to required SILOQY topics"""
    if hasattr(self, 'msgbus') and self.msgbus:
        # Subscribe to core SILOQY data streams
        self.msgbus.subscribe(RAW_TOPIC, self.handle_raw_tick)
        self.msgbus.subscribe(REGIME_TOPIC, self.handle_regime_update)
        self.msgbus.subscribe("SILOQY.CUSTOM.TOPIC", self.handle_custom_data)
        
        self.log.info("Subscribed to SILOQY message bus topics")
    else:
        self.log.error("MessageBus not available during initialization")
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

### Message Bus Timing Guarantees

-   **Publication Latency:** \< 1μs for tuple data

-   **Delivery Guarantee:** Synchronous delivery to all subscribers

-   **Thread Safety:** Fully thread-safe for concurrent access

-   **Memory Management:** Zero-copy for immutable data types

Actor Lifecycle and Execution Model
-----------------------------------

### Nautilus Actor Initialization Sequence

1.  **Construction Phase:**

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    def __init__(self, config: ActorConfig):
        super().__init__(config)  # MUST call super().__init__()
        # Initialize component-specific state
        # MessageBus NOT available yet
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2.  **Registration Phase:**

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    # Handled automatically by TradingNode.build()
    # Actor registered with Nautilus kernel
    # MessageBus reference established
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3.  **Startup Phase:**

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    def on_start(self) -> None:
        # MessageBus NOW available as self.msgbus
        # Subscribe to required topics
        # Initialize async tasks using ActorExecutor
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

4.  **Execution Phase:**

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    # Actor receives messages via subscribed handlers
    # Actor publishes data via self.msgbus.publish()
    # Long-running tasks managed by ActorExecutor
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

5.  **Shutdown Phase:**

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    def on_stop(self) -> None:
        # Clean up component-specific resources
        # Nautilus handles ActorExecutor cleanup automatically
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

### ActorExecutor Task Management

**Preferred Pattern for Async Operations:**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
def on_start(self) -> None:
    if hasattr(self, '_executor') and self._executor:
        self.log.info("Using Nautilus ActorExecutor")
        future = self._executor.submit(self.async_initialization())
    else:
        self.log.warning("No executor available, falling back to asyncio")
        asyncio.create_task(self.async_initialization())

async def async_initialization(self):
    # Long-running async operations
    # Managed by Nautilus ActorExecutor
    pass
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

### Actor State Management

**Thread-Safe State Pattern:**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
class MySILOQYActor(Actor):
    def __init__(self, config):
        super().__init__(config)
        
        # Pre-allocated arrays for high-frequency data (DOLPHIN pattern)
        self.data_arrays = np.zeros(config.max_items, dtype=np.float64)
        self.symbol_mapping = {}
        self.active_count = 0
        
        # Thread-safe collections for shared state
        self.message_queue = deque(maxlen=10000)
        self.state_lock = threading.Lock()
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SILOQY Topic Hierarchy and Data Structures
------------------------------------------

### Core SILOQY Topics

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# Primary data flow topics
RAW_TOPIC = "SILOQY.RAW.TICKS"           # Raw market tick data
STRUCTURED_TOPIC = "SILOQY.STRUCTURED.TICKS"  # Normalized SiloqyTradeTick objects
REGIME_TOPIC = "DOLPHIN.REGIME.RESULTS"   # Market regime detection results

# Discovery and initialization topics  
SYMBOLS_DISCOVERED_TOPIC = "SILOQY.SYMBOLS.DISCOVERED"  # Symbol discovery completion
CANDLES_INITIAL_TOPIC = "SILOQY.CANDLES.INITIAL"        # Candle reconstruction results

# Custom component topics (examples)
HD_VECTOR_TOPIC = "SILOQY.HD.VECTORS"     # Hyperdimensional vector data
TEMPORAL_TOPIC = "SILOQY.TEMPORAL.PATTERNS"  # Temporal memory patterns
ANALYSIS_TOPIC = "SILOQY.ANALYSIS.RESULTS"   # Custom analysis results
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

### Topic Naming Convention

**Standard Format:** `SILOQY.{COMPONENT}.{DATA_TYPE}.{VARIANT}`

**Examples:** - `SILOQY.SENTIMENT.ANALYSIS.REALTIME` -
`SILOQY.CORRELATION.MATRIX.UPDATED` - `SILOQY.RISK.METRICS.CALCULATED` -
`SILOQY.ML.PREDICTIONS.GENERATED`

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Actor Lifecycle and Execution Model
-----------------------------------

### TradingNode Initialization Sequence

1.  **Node Creation:**

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    trading_config = TradingNodeConfig(
        trader_id=TraderId("SILOQY-PRODUCTION"),
        actors=[
            # All SILOQY actor configurations
            symbol_discovery_config,
            main_actor_config,
            regime_actor_config,
            normalizer_config,
            custom_component_config  # New components added here
        ]
    )
    node = TradingNode(config=trading_config)
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2.  **Build Phase:**

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    node.build()  # Creates all actors, establishes MessageBus
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3.  **Startup Phase:**

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    node.run()    # Calls on_start() on all actors in dependency order
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

### Actor Dependency Management

**Initialization Order (Critical):** 1. `SILOQYSymbolDiscoveryActor` - Must
complete first 2. `SILOQYMainActor` - Depends on symbol discovery 3.
`DOLPHINRegimeActor` - Depends on main actor tick data 4.
`SILOQYNormalizerActor` - Depends on raw tick data 5. **Custom Components** -
Typically depend on normalized data or regime results

### Async Task Management with ActorExecutor

**ActorExecutor Usage Pattern:**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
def on_start(self) -> None:
    # Start long-running operations via ActorExecutor
    if hasattr(self, '_executor') and self._executor:
        self.log.info("Using Nautilus ActorExecutor for task management")
        future = self._executor.submit(self.long_running_operation())
    else:
        # Fallback for development/testing
        asyncio.create_task(self.long_running_operation())

async def long_running_operation(self):
    """Long-running async operation managed by Nautilus"""
    while self.is_running:
        try:
            # Perform periodic operations
            await self.process_periodic_task()
            await asyncio.sleep(1.0)
        except asyncio.CancelledError:
            break
        except Exception as e:
            self.log.error(f"Long-running operation error: {e}")
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

### Actor State Synchronization

**Synchronization Pattern for Actor Dependencies:**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
class DependentSILOQYActor(Actor):
    def __init__(self, config):
        super().__init__(config)
        self.dependency_ready = asyncio.Event()
        self.symbols = []
        self.candle_data = {}
    
    def on_start(self) -> None:
        # Subscribe to dependency notifications
        self.msgbus.subscribe(SYMBOLS_DISCOVERED_TOPIC, self.handle_symbols_ready)
        self.msgbus.subscribe(CANDLES_INITIAL_TOPIC, self.handle_candles_ready)
        
        # Start dependent operations
        if hasattr(self, '_executor') and self._executor:
            future = self._executor.submit(self.wait_for_dependencies())
    
    async def wait_for_dependencies(self):
        """Wait for required data before starting operations"""
        await asyncio.wait_for(self.dependency_ready.wait(), timeout=120.0)
        # Now safe to start component-specific operations
        await self.start_component_operations()
    
    def handle_symbols_ready(self, data):
        symbols, timestamp = data
        self.symbols = symbols
        self._check_dependencies_complete()
    
    def handle_candles_ready(self, data):
        candles, timestamp = data
        self.candle_data = candles
        self._check_dependencies_complete()
    
    def _check_dependencies_complete(self):
        if self.symbols and self.candle_data:
            self.dependency_ready.set()
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Component Integration Patterns
------------------------------

### Adding New SILOQY Components

**Step 1: Component Configuration**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
class MySILOQYComponentConfig(ActorConfig):
    """Configuration for custom SILOQY component"""
    component_name: str = "MyComponent"
    update_interval_ms: int = 1000
    enable_hd_processing: bool = True
    custom_parameters: Dict[str, Any] = field(default_factory=dict)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**Step 2: Actor Implementation**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
class MySILOQYComponent(Actor):
    def __init__(self, config: MySILOQYComponentConfig):
        super().__init__(config)
        self.component_name = config.component_name
        self.update_interval_ms = config.update_interval_ms
        self.enable_hd_processing = config.enable_hd_processing
        
    def on_start(self) -> None:
        # Subscribe to required SILOQY data streams
        self.msgbus.subscribe(STRUCTURED_TOPIC, self.handle_structured_tick)
        self.msgbus.subscribe(REGIME_TOPIC, self.handle_regime_update)
        
        # Start component-specific operations
        if hasattr(self, '_executor') and self._executor:
            future = self._executor.submit(self.start_processing())
    
    def handle_structured_tick(self, tick: SiloqyTradeTick) -> None:
        """Process incoming SILOQY tick data"""
        # Component-specific processing
        result = self.process_siloqy_tick(tick)
        
        # Publish results to custom topic
        if result:
            self.msgbus.publish("SILOQY.MYCOMPONENT.RESULTS", result)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**Step 3: Registration with TradingNode**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

### Inter-Component Communication Patterns

**Direct Communication via MessageBus:**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# Component A publishes analysis results
def publish_analysis_result(self, analysis_data: Dict):
    custom_data = {
        'component_id': self.id,
        'analysis_type': 'correlation_matrix',
        'timestamp': int(time.time() * 1000),
        'results': analysis_data,
        'confidence': 0.95
    }
    self.msgbus.publish("SILOQY.CORRELATION.ANALYSIS", custom_data)

# Component B consumes analysis results
def on_start(self):
    self.msgbus.subscribe("SILOQY.CORRELATION.ANALYSIS", self.handle_correlation_data)

def handle_correlation_data(self, data: Dict):
    # Process correlation analysis from other component
    pass
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**Request/Response Pattern:**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# Component A requests data
def request_analysis(self, symbol: str, timeframe: str):
    request_data = {
        'request_id': str(uuid.uuid4()),
        'requesting_component': str(self.id),
        'symbol': symbol,
        'timeframe': timeframe,
        'response_topic': f"SILOQY.RESPONSE.{self.id}"
    }
    self.msgbus.publish("SILOQY.REQUEST.ANALYSIS", request_data)

# Component B responds to requests
def handle_analysis_request(self, request_data: Dict):
    # Process request
    analysis_result = self.perform_analysis(request_data['symbol'], request_data['timeframe'])
    
    # Send response
    response = {
        'request_id': request_data['request_id'],
        'result': analysis_result,
        'timestamp': int(time.time() * 1000)
    }
    self.msgbus.publish(request_data['response_topic'], response)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Error Handling and Recovery
---------------------------

### Message Processing Error Handling

**Standard Error Handling Pattern:**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
def handle_siloqy_message(self, data: Any) -> None:
    """Standard SILOQY message handling with error recovery"""
    try:
        # Validate message structure
        if not self._validate_message_structure(data):
            self.log.warning(f"Invalid message structure rejected")
            self._record_validation_failure("structure")
            return
        
        # Process message
        result = self._process_message_content(data)
        
        # Publish result if successful
        if result:
            self.msgbus.publish(self.output_topic, result)
            
    except ValidationError as e:
        self.log.warning(f"Message validation failed: {e}")
        self._record_validation_failure("validation")
    except ProcessingError as e:
        self.log.error(f"Message processing failed: {e}")
        self._record_processing_failure()
    except Exception as e:
        self.log.error(f"Unexpected error in message handling: {e}")
        self._record_unexpected_failure()

def _record_validation_failure(self, failure_type: str) -> None:
    """Record validation failures for monitoring"""
    if not hasattr(self, 'validation_failures'):
        self.validation_failures = defaultdict(int)
    self.validation_failures[failure_type] += 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

### Actor Recovery Patterns

**Graceful Degradation Pattern:**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
class ResilientSILOQYActor(Actor):
    def __init__(self, config):
        super().__init__(config)
        self.error_count = 0
        self.max_errors = 100
        self.recovery_mode = False
    
    def handle_processing_error(self, error: Exception) -> None:
        """Handle processing errors with graceful degradation"""
        self.error_count += 1
        
        if self.error_count > self.max_errors:
            self.log.error("Error threshold exceeded, entering recovery mode")
            self.recovery_mode = True
            # Reduce processing frequency or disable non-critical features
        
        # Reset error count periodically
        if time.time() % 300 == 0:  # Every 5 minutes
            self.error_count = max(0, self.error_count - 10)
            if self.error_count < 10:
                self.recovery_mode = False
                self.log.info("Exiting recovery mode")
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Performance Optimization Guidelines
-----------------------------------

### Zero-Allocation Patterns (DOLPHIN Style)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
class HighPerformanceSILOQYActor(Actor):
    """High-performance actor using zero-allocation patterns"""
    
    def __init__(self, config):
        super().__init__(config)
        
        # Pre-allocate arrays for high-frequency data
        self.max_symbols = config.max_symbols
        self.price_data = np.zeros(self.max_symbols, dtype=np.float64)
        self.volume_data = np.zeros(self.max_symbols, dtype=np.float64)
        self.timestamp_data = np.zeros(self.max_symbols, dtype=np.int64)
        
        # Symbol mapping for O(1) lookups
        self.symbol_to_index = {}
        self.index_to_symbol = {}
        self.active_symbols = 0
    
    def process_tick_zero_allocation(self, symbol: str, price: float, volume: float, timestamp: int):
        """Process tick with zero memory allocation"""
        # Get or assign symbol index
        if symbol not in self.symbol_to_index:
            if self.active_symbols >= self.max_symbols:
                self.log.error(f"Symbol capacity exceeded: {self.max_symbols}")
                return
            
            idx = self.active_symbols
            self.symbol_to_index[symbol] = idx
            self.index_to_symbol[idx] = symbol
            self.active_symbols += 1
        else:
            idx = self.symbol_to_index[symbol]
        
        # Update arrays in-place (zero allocation)
        self.price_data[idx] = price
        self.volume_data[idx] = volume
        self.timestamp_data[idx] = timestamp
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

### Message Bus Performance Optimization

**Efficient Data Serialization:**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# Prefer tuples over complex objects for high-frequency data
efficient_message = (symbol, price, volume, timestamp)  # Fast
inefficient_message = {'symbol': symbol, 'price': price, 'volume': volume}  # Slower

# Use pre-allocated buffers for repeated operations
class BufferedSILOQYActor(Actor):
    def __init__(self, config):
        super().__init__(config)
        self.message_buffer = [None] * 1000  # Pre-allocated buffer
        self.buffer_index = 0
    
    def publish_efficiently(self, data):
        # Reuse buffer slots to minimize garbage collection
        self.message_buffer[self.buffer_index] = data
        self.msgbus.publish(self.topic, self.message_buffer[self.buffer_index])
        self.buffer_index = (self.buffer_index + 1) % 1000
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Testing and Validation Requirements
-----------------------------------

### Unit Test Requirements for SILOQY Components

**Mandatory Test Coverage:**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
class TestMySILOQYComponent(unittest.TestCase):
    """Required test patterns for all SILOQY components"""
    
    def test_message_bus_integration(self):
        """Test MessageBus subscription and publishing"""
        # Verify component can subscribe to required topics
        # Verify component can publish to output topics
        # Test message handling with valid and invalid data
        pass
    
    def test_actor_lifecycle(self):
        """Test complete actor lifecycle"""
        # Test initialization with TradingNode
        # Test on_start() behavior
        # Test on_stop() behavior
        # Test resource cleanup
        pass
    
    def test_data_validation(self):
        """Test input data validation"""
        # Test with valid SILOQY data structures
        # Test with malformed data
        # Test boundary conditions
        # Test error recovery
        pass
    
    def test_performance_requirements(self):
        """Test performance under load"""
        # Test high-frequency message processing
        # Test memory usage stability
        # Test latency requirements
        pass
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

### Integration Test Requirements

**MessageBus Integration Test Template:**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
def test_full_integration_with_dolphin(self):
    """Test integration with existing DOLPHIN system"""
    # Create TradingNode with DOLPHIN + custom component
    node = self._create_test_node_with_custom_component()
    
    # Verify component receives DOLPHIN data
    collector = TestDataCollector()
    node.kernel.msgbus.subscribe("SILOQY.CUSTOM.OUTPUT", collector.collect_data)
    
    # Inject test data through DOLPHIN pipeline
    test_ticks = self._generate_test_tick_data()
    for tick in test_ticks:
        node.kernel.msgbus.publish(RAW_TOPIC, tick)
    
    # Verify custom component processed DOLPHIN regime data
    time.sleep(2.0)
    self.assertGreater(len(collector.collected_data), 0)

Advanced Integration Patterns
-----------------------------

### Custom Data Type Integration

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
from nautilus_trader.core.data import Data

class SILOQYCustomData(Data):
    """Custom SILOQY data type for Nautilus integration"""
    
    def __init__(self, component_id: str, analysis_data: Dict, timestamp_ns: int):
        self.component_id = component_id
        self.analysis_data = analysis_data
        super().__init__(ts_event=timestamp_ns, ts_init=timestamp_ns)
    
    def __repr__(self) -> str:
        return f"SILOQYCustomData(component={self.component_id}, data_keys={list(self.analysis_data.keys())})"

# Usage in component
def publish_custom_analysis(self, analysis_result: Dict):
    custom_data = SILOQYCustomData(
        component_id=str(self.id),
        analysis_data=analysis_result,
        timestamp_ns=int(time.time_ns())
    )
    
    # Publish as Nautilus Data object
    if hasattr(self, 'publish_data'):
        self.publish_data(custom_data)
    else:
        # Fallback to message bus
        self.msgbus.publish("SILOQY.CUSTOM.ANALYSIS", custom_data)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

### Component Coordination Patterns

**Master/Worker Pattern:**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
class SILOQYMasterComponent(Actor):
    """Master component that coordinates worker components"""
    
    def __init__(self, config):
        super().__init__(config)
        self.worker_topics = [
            "SILOQY.WORKER.CORRELATION",
            "SILOQY.WORKER.SENTIMENT", 
            "SILOQY.WORKER.MOMENTUM"
        ]
        self.worker_results = {}
    
    def distribute_work(self, work_data: Dict):
        """Distribute work to worker components"""
        for topic in self.worker_topics:
            work_package = {
                'master_id': str(self.id),
                'work_data': work_data,
                'response_topic': f"SILOQY.MASTER.{self.id}.RESULTS"
            }
            self.msgbus.publish(topic, work_package)
    
    def on_start(self):
        # Subscribe to worker responses
        self.msgbus.subscribe(f"SILOQY.MASTER.{self.id}.RESULTS", self.handle_worker_result)
        self.msgbus.subscribe(REGIME_TOPIC, self.handle_regime_change)

class SILOQYWorkerComponent(Actor):
    """Worker component that processes distributed tasks"""
    
    def on_start(self):
        self.msgbus.subscribe("SILOQY.WORKER.CORRELATION", self.handle_work_assignment)
    
    def handle_work_assignment(self, work_package: Dict):
        """Process assigned work and return results"""
        try:
            result = self.process_work(work_package['work_data'])
            
            response = {
                'worker_id': str(self.id),
                'result': result,
                'timestamp': int(time.time() * 1000)
            }
            
            self.msgbus.publish(work_package['response_topic'], response)
            
        except Exception as e:
            self.log.error(f"Work processing failed: {e}")
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Production Deployment Checklist
-------------------------------

### Pre-Deployment Requirements

**Configuration Validation:** - [ ] `throttle_mode: False` for production
performance - [ ] `enable_real_data: True` for live market data  
- [ ] `max_symbols_throttled: 5000+` for full market coverage - [ ]
`ticks_per_analysis: 1000` for stable regime detection

**Component Integration Validation:** - [ ] All custom components pass
integration tests - [ ] MessageBus topic subscriptions verified - [ ] Actor
dependency order confirmed - [ ] Error handling and recovery tested - [ ]
Performance requirements met

**System Resource Validation:** - [ ] Memory allocation sufficient for all
actors - [ ] CPU capacity adequate for real-time processing - [ ] Network
bandwidth adequate for WebSocket streams - [ ] Storage capacity planned (if
using persistent storage)
