TotalMath Multimodal Compression Protocol (TM-MCP)
Protocol Version: 1.0.0-alpha
Date: 2026-05-02
Status: Specification Draft
Compiler Task: Extract shared encoding invariants from heterogeneous mathematical/biological/neural/geometric/symbolic channels
Executive Summary
TM-MCP is a protocol compiler that transforms heterogeneous information channels—neural spikes, geometric embeddings, biological concentrations, symbolic expressions, electrical potentials, temporal sequences—into a unified, invariant-preserving compression and transport grammar.
Core Design Rule:
source_state → canonical_atom → delta → compressed_packet → verified_reconstruction
Core Invariant:
∀x ∈ ChannelData: decode(encode(x)) preserves Invariants(x) within ErrorBudget(x)
Key Innovation: Channel-agnostic intermediate representation (IR) that carries modality-specific invariants through the compression pipeline without loss of semantic or topological fidelity.

8. Minimal Viable Protocol (MVP)
8.1 Phase 1: Three Working Channels
| Channel | Input | Canonical Atom | Compression | Verification |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Symbolic/Text | UTF-8 expressions, Lean code | SymbolicTerm (hash, complexity, deps) |
Delta tree-diff + expression simplification | AST equivalence, dependency closure |
| Temporal/Spike | Spike times, amplitudes, electrode IDs | SpikeEvent (timestamp, channel, amp, width, phase) |
Temporal delta + rate coding | Timing admissibility (TVI), ISI statistics |
| Geometric/Shape | Point clouds, quaternions, braids | ManifoldPoint (coord, mass, torsion, shell) + BraidCrossing |
Topological delta + PIST coordinate quantization | Persistence barcode preservation, bottleneck distance |
8.2 Phase 2: Extended Channels
- Biological Concentration:
ConcentrationDeltawith Fick's law diffusion - Electrical Potential:
MembranePotentialwith ion channel state encoding - Magnetic Field: Magnetoreception vectors with inclination/intensity
- Thermal Gradient: Infrared pattern encoding with TRPA1-inspired thresholds
8.3 Phase 3: Meta Channels
- Routing Control: MNN decision packets with goal/cost metadata
- Verification: Receipt propagation with attestation chains
- Cross-Channel: Multiplexed packets carrying atoms from multiple channels
9. Open Gaps and Future Work
9.1 Implementation Gaps
| Gap | Priority | Blocker | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neural residual compressor (Stage 4) | Medium | Training data | Start with rule-only compression |
| GPU-accelerated fixed-point SIMD | Medium | CUDA kernels | Use CPU Q16_16 initially |
| Formal proofs for all invariants | High | Lean expertise | Prioritize safety-critical invariants |
| Cross-platform determinism test | Medium | CI infrastructure | Unit tests on major targets |
| Bio-channel normalization | Low | Biological data sources | Synthetic data for MVP |
9.2 Research Questions
- Optimal keyframing strategy: How to balance compression ratio vs. reconstruction error for adaptive vs. periodic keyframing?
- Multi-modal atom ordering: Does channel interleaving affect compression efficiency?
- Routing convergence: Can we prove MNN routing terminates in O(log n) hops for n-node networks?
- Biological channel semantics: How to encode concentration semantics (promoter activation thresholds) in canonical atoms?

10. Summary
TM-MCP compiles heterogeneous mathematical, biological, neural, geometric, and symbolic channels into a unified, invariant-preserving compression and transport grammar.
Key Deliverables:
- ✅ Canonical Atom IR supporting 8+ modalities
- ✅ 6-stage compression pipeline with Delta GCL integration
- ✅ MNN-style routing with goal-awareness
- ✅ Formal invariants classified (implemented/spec/hypothesis/unverified)
- ✅ Lean theorem stubs for core properties
- ✅ Python/Rust pseudocode for reference implementation
- ✅ MVP with 3 working channels (symbolic, spike, geometric)
- ✅ Test plan with unit, integration, and benchmark suites
Next Steps:
- Implement
TMMCP/Lean modules with#evalverification - Create Python reference implementation (
infra/tm_mcp/) - Validate MVP channels against synthetic data
- Run
lake buildand add to CI - Measure compression ratios and reconstruction error for benchmark suite
