2. **Arbitrage Detection**: Identify temporal advantages in financial markets
3. **Network Optimization**: Predict routing before packets arrive
4. **Satellite Communication**: Pre-compute responses for space communications
5. **Scientific Computing**: Solve before experimental data arrives

## Available Tools

### Primary Temporal Tools
- `mcp__sublinear-time-solver__predictWithTemporalAdvantage` - Solve before data arrives
- `mcp__sublinear-time-solver__validateTemporalAdvantage` - Validate temporal lead
- `mcp__sublinear-time-solver__calculateLightTravel` - Compare light vs computation time

## Usage Examples

### Basic Temporal Prediction
```javascript
// Solve a trading optimization problem before market data arrives
const matrix = {
  rows: 1000,
  cols: 1000,
  data: generateTradingMatrix()  // Portfolio optimization matrix
};
const vector = generateMarketVector();

// Tokyo to NYC: ~10,900 km - market data takes ~36ms to travel
const result = await mcp__sublinear-time-solver__predictWithTemporalAdvantage({
  matrix: matrix,
  vector: vector,
  distanceKm: 10900  // Tokyo to NYC distance
});

console.log(`Solution ready in ${result.computationTime}ms`);
console.log(`Light travel time: ${result.lightTravelTime}ms`);
console.log(`Temporal advantage: ${result.temporalAdvantage}ms`);
```

### Satellite Communication Optimization
```javascript
// Geostationary satellite to ground: ~36,000 km
const satelliteDistance = 35786;  // GEO altitude

const advantage = await mcp__sublinear-time-solver__calculateLightTravel({
  distanceKm: satelliteDistance,
  matrixSize: 5000
});

console.log(`Satellite signal delay: ${advantage.lightTravelTime}ms`);
console.log(`Computation time: ${advantage.computationTime}ms`);
console.log(`Can predict ${advantage.temporalAdvantage}ms ahead`);
```

### Temporal Advantage Validation
```javascript
// Validate advantage for different problem sizes
const sizes = [100, 500, 1000, 5000, 10000];
const validations = await Promise.all(
  sizes.map(size => 
    mcp__sublinear-time-solver__validateTemporalAdvantage({
      size: size,
      distanceKm: 10900  // Tokyo-NYC
    })
  )
);

validations.forEach((v, i) => {
  console.log(`Size ${sizes[i]}: ${v.isAdvantageValid ? 'ADVANTAGE' : 'NO ADVANTAGE'}`);
  console.log(`  Margin: ${v.temporalMargin}ms`);
});
```

### Scenario Demonstrations
```javascript
// High-frequency trading scenario
const tradingDemo = await mcp__sublinear-time-solver__demonstrateTemporalLead({
  scenario: "trading"
});

console.log("Trading Scenario:");
console.log(`Distance: ${tradingDemo.distance}km`);
console.log(`Market advantage: ${tradingDemo.advantage}ms`);
console.log(`Potential profit window: ${tradingDemo.profitWindow}ms`);

// Network optimization scenario
const networkDemo = await mcp__sublinear-time-solver__demonstrateTemporalLead({
  scenario: "network"
});

// Custom scenario
const customDemo = await mcp__sublinear-time-solver__demonstrateTemporalLead({
  scenario: "custom",
  customDistance: 5000  // London to NYC
});
```

## Best Practices

### Optimal Distance Selection
```javascript
// Find optimal distances for temporal advantage
async function findOptimalDistances(matrixSize) {
  const distances = [1000, 5000, 10000, 15000, 20000];
  const results = [];
  
  for (const distance of distances) {
    const validation = await mcp__sublinear-time-solver__validateTemporalAdvantage({
      size: matrixSize,
      distanceKm: distance
    });
    
    if (validation.isAdvantageValid) {
      results.push({
        distance,
        advantage: validation.temporalMargin,
        efficiency: validation.temporalMargin / distance
      });
    }
  }
  
  return results.sort((a, b) => b.efficiency - a.efficiency);
}
```

### Trading Application
```javascript
// Real-time trading optimization
class TemporalTradingOptimizer {
  constructor(exchangeDistances) {
    this.exchanges = exchangeDistances;  // {NYSE: 5585, NASDAQ: 5585, TSE: 10900}
  }
  
  async optimizePortfolio(portfolioMatrix, marketVector) {
    const optimizations = await Promise.all(
      Object.entries(this.exchanges).map(async ([exchange, distance]) => {
        const result = await mcp__sublinear-time-solver__predictWithTemporalAdvantage({
          matrix: portfolioMatrix,
          vector: marketVector,
          distanceKm: distance
        });
        
        return {
          exchange,
          distance,
          solution: result.solution,
          advantage: result.temporalAdvantage,
          readyTime: result.computationTime
        };
      })
    );
    
    return optimizations.sort((a, b) => b.advantage - a.advantage);
  }
}
```

### Satellite Network Optimization
```javascript
// Optimize satellite constellation routing
async function optimizeSatelliteRouting(networkMatrix, trafficVector) {
  const satellites = [
    { name: "GEO-1", altitude: 35786 },
    { name: "MEO-1", altitude: 20200 },
    { name: "LEO-1", altitude: 550 }
  ];
  
  const routingOptions = await Promise.all(
    satellites.map(async sat => {
      const advantage = await mcp__sublinear-time-solver__predictWithTemporalAdvantage({
        matrix: networkMatrix,
        vector: trafficVector,
        distanceKm: sat.altitude
      });
      
      return {
        satellite: sat.name,
        altitude: sat.altitude,
        routingTable: advantage.solution,
        latencyAdvantage: advantage.temporalAdvantage,
        signalDelay: advantage.lightTravelTime
      };
    })
  );
  
  return routingOptions;
}
```

## Error Handling

### Temporal Validation Errors
```javascript
try {
  const result = await mcp__sublinear-time-solver__predictWithTemporalAdvantage({
    matrix: matrix,
    vector: vector,
    distanceKm: distance
  });
  
  if (!result.hasTemporalAdvantage) {
    console.warn("No temporal advantage - computation too slow for distance");
    console.log(`Computation: ${result.computationTime}ms`);
    console.log(`Light travel: ${result.lightTravelTime}ms`);
    console.log(`Deficit: ${result.computationTime - result.lightTravelTime}ms`);
  }
  
} catch (error) {
  switch (error.code) {
    case 'COMPUTATION_TOO_SLOW':
      // Try smaller matrix or different algorithm
      break;
    case 'DISTANCE_TOO_SHORT':
      // Increase distance or reduce problem size
      break;
    case 'MATRIX_CONDITIONING_ERROR':
      // Matrix not suitable for sublinear solving
      break;
  }
}
```

### Performance Monitoring
```javascript
// Monitor temporal advantage over time
class TemporalAdvantageMonitor {
  constructor() {
    this.measurements = [];
  }
  
  async measureAdvantage(matrix, vector, distance) {
    const start = performance.now();
    
    try {
      const result = await mcp__sublinear-time-solver__predictWithTemporalAdvantage({
        matrix: matrix,
        vector: vector,
        distanceKm: distance
      });
      
      const measurement = {
        timestamp: Date.now(),
        matrixSize: matrix.rows,
        distance: distance,
        computationTime: result.computationTime,
        lightTravelTime: result.lightTravelTime,
        advantage: result.temporalAdvantage,
        success: result.hasTemporalAdvantage
      };
      
      this.measurements.push(measurement);
      return measurement;
      
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("Temporal advantage measurement failed:", error);
      return null;
    }
  }
  
  getAverageAdvantage(timeWindowMs = 60000) {
    const recent = this.measurements.filter(
      m => Date.now() - m.timestamp < timeWindowMs
    );
    
    const successful = recent.filter(m => m.success);
    if (successful.length === 0) return 0;
    
    return successful.reduce((sum, m) => sum + m.advantage, 0) / successful.length;
  }
}
```

### Fallback Strategies
```javascript
// Graceful degradation when temporal advantage is lost
async function adaptiveTemporalSolving(matrix, vector, targetDistance) {
  // Try primary distance
  let result = await mcp__sublinear-time-solver__validateTemporalAdvantage({
    size: matrix.rows,
    distanceKm: targetDistance
  });
  
  if (result.isAdvantageValid) {
    return mcp__sublinear-time-solver__predictWithTemporalAdvantage({
      matrix, vector, distanceKm: targetDistance
    });
  }
  
  // Try alternative distances
  const alternatives = [targetDistance * 1.5, targetDistance * 2, targetDistance * 3];
  
  for (const distance of alternatives) {
    result = await mcp__sublinear-time-solver__validateTemporalAdvantage({
      size: matrix.rows,
      distanceKm: distance
    });
    
    if (result.isAdvantageValid) {
      console.log(`Fallback to distance ${distance}km`);
      return mcp__sublinear-time-solver__predictWithTemporalAdvantage({
        matrix, vector, distanceKm: distance
      });
    }
  }
  
  // No temporal advantage available - use standard solving
  console.warn("No temporal advantage possible - using standard solver");
  return mcp__sublinear-time-solver__solve({
    matrix: matrix,
    vector: vector
  });
}
```
