+
+**Integration Points:**
+- Shared ReflexionMemory for cross-scenario learning
+- CausalMemoryGraph for hypothesis→defense relationships
+- Unified SkillLibrary for research methods
+
+### 6.3 Real-Time Adaptation
+
+**Use Case: Adaptive Security System**
+
+```python
+# Pseudo-implementation
+while True:
+    threats = aidefence.detectThreats()
+
+    if threats.severity > 0.9:
+        # High severity: engage research swarm
+        research.findMitigation(threats)
+
+        # Update goals dynamically
+        goalie.updateGoals({
+            goal: "mitigate_critical_threat",
+            priority: 1.0,
+            deadline: "immediate"
+        })
+
+        # Deploy defenses
+        aidefence.deployStrategy(
+            research.bestMitigation()
+        )
+```
+
+**Performance:** Sub-second response time with caching
