+
+Provides tools to detect, measure, and analyze emergent cascades in

+
+TNFR Canonical Principle
+-------------------------
+From "El pulso que nos atraviesa" (TNFR Manual, §2.2.10):
+
+    "THOL actúa como modulador central de plasticidad. Es el glifo que
+    permite a la red reorganizar su topología sin intervención externa.
+    Su activación crea bucles de aprendizaje resonante, trayectorias de
+    reorganización emergente, estabilidad dinámica basada en coherencia local."
+
+This module implements cascade detection: when THOL bifurcations propagate
+through phase-aligned neighbors, creating chains of emergent reorganization.
+
+Performance Optimization
+------------------------
+CASCADE DETECTION CACHING: `detect_cascade()` uses TNFR's canonical caching
+infrastructure (`@cache_tnfr_computation`) to avoid recomputing cascade state.
+The cache is automatically invalidated when THOL propagations change, ensuring
+coherence while enabling O(1) lookups for repeated queries.
+
+Cache key depends on: graph identity + propagation history + cascade config.
+This provides significant performance improvement for large networks (>1000 nodes)
+where cascade detection is called frequently (e.g., in `self_organization_metrics`).

+    2. Sub-EPI propagates to coupled neighbors
+    3. Neighbors' EPIs increase, potentially triggering their own bifurcations

+
+    **Performance**: This function uses TNFR's canonical cache infrastructure

+    subsequent calls are O(1) hash lookups. Cache automatically invalidates

+        - cascade_depth: maximum propagation chain length
+        - total_propagations: total number of propagation events
+        - cascade_coherence: average coupling strength in cascade
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    TNFR Principle: Cascades emerge when network phase coherence enables
+    propagation across multiple nodes, creating collective self-organization.
+
+    Caching Strategy:
+    - Cache level: DERIVED_METRICS (mid-persistence)
+    - Dependencies: 'thol_propagations' (propagation history), 
+                   'cascade_config' (threshold parameters)
+    - Invalidation: Automatic when dependencies change
+    - Cost: Proportional to number of propagation events
