Glossary - Research Stack Terminology

A

Universal bridge between math languages and Python bytecode. Currently undergoing core ISA rebuild.

AngrySphinx

Exponential proof-of-work security mechanism. Found in L4 Security layer.

Anti-BraidStorm

ASIC Topology

Attack-aware system design for hardware extraction. Found in L4 Security layer.

B

BraidStorm

The 8-strand braid topology used by the eigensolid compressor. Strands cross pairwise; each crossing merges phase and produces a residual.

BraidEigensolid

Burgers Equation

Fundamental PDE combining nonlinear advection with linear diffusion: ∂u/∂t + u·∂u/∂x = ν·∂²u/∂x²

C

CFL Condition

Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy stability condition. For Burgers equation: ν·dt/dx² ≤ ½

Cognitive Load Decomposition

5-factor model for analyzing and distributing cognitive load across the Research Stack.

Compression Delta Phi Gamma Lambda Doctrine

Philosophical framework for compression mechanics in the Research Stack.

Core Surfaces

Key interfaces: Lean/Semantics, Infrastructure shims, Hardware bring-up, Documentation, Stack receipts, Promoted review receipts.

D

E

Eigensolid

The converged, stable state of a braid crossing loop. Detected when crossStep(s) = s. The DC baseline in the TNT BraidCarrier model.

Receipt Invertibility

Theorem proving that the full receipt (C, sidon, k, ε_seq, t, ∅_scars) bijectively reconstructs state s.
