Premise: in a multi-node CSI mesh, all nodes see the same physical
scene through slightly different multipath. Their per-window CSI
vectors cluster tightly under cosine similarity. An adversarial node
(replay / shift / noise injection) sits *outside* that cluster. The
Stoer-Wagner minimum cut on the inter-node similarity graph isolates
it cleanly when the cut is sharp.
Demo synthesises 4 honest nodes (one real CSI window from the paired
data + per-node Gaussian noise 6 dB below signal) and 1 adversarial
node under three attack modes. Cosine-similarity matrix, then
Stoer-Wagner mincut, then check whether partition_B is the singleton
{4} — the adversarial node.
Attack Mincut value Partition_B Isolated?
------- ------------ ----------- ---------
replay 3.4513 {4} YES
shift 3.5724 {4} YES
noise 2.5586 {4} YES
Detection rate: 3/3 = 100%.
Architectural payoff: this is the primitive that fills the stub at
. ADR-103 v0.2.0
can wire it in directly. The mincut value also becomes a continuous
'mesh trustworthiness' metric for the cog-gateway dashboard.
Honest scope: the demo uses sloppy attackers. Adaptive attackers who
have read this note can almost certainly evade by adding calibrated
noise that keeps cosine similarity above the cluster floor. The next
research step is the Stackelberg-game extension. See the
'Honest scope of this result' section in the research note.
Connections:
* R5 — top-8 saliency subcarriers are the priority list for a
more-targeted per-subcarrier consistency check.
* R8 — same primitive likely works at lower SNR with RSSI-only
metrics; cluster structure is preserved by the band integral.
