    def __init__(self):
        self.memory_limits = {
            'max_dataset_size': 50_000_000,  # 50M samples max
            'chunk_size': 10_000,            # Process in chunks

            'streaming': True                # Don't load everything at once
        }

    def implement_practical_data_pipeline(self):
        """RTX 3060 executable data collection and processing"""

        # Phase 1: Smart data collection (not massive scale)
        curated_data = self.collect_curated_datasets(
            sources=['huggingface', 'academic_papers', 'technical_docs'],
            max_samples=10_000_000  # Realistic target
        )

        # Phase 2: Quality-focused labeling
        labeled_data = self.apply_quality_labeling(
            curated_data,
            techniques=['synthetic_generation', 'manual_curation', 'automated_filtering']
        )

        # Phase 3: Memory-efficient cleansing

        """RTX 3060 executable quadrality thinking model"""

        # Load model with memory optimizations
        model = self.load_optimized_model(base_model)

        # Implement perspective adapters (not full retraining)
        perspective_adapters = self.create_lightweight_adapters(
            perspectives=['algebraic', 'geometric', 'analytic', 'topological']
