First-Principles Derivation
The implementation is based on the following first principles derived from OTOM framework:
-
Files are N-Space Vectors, Not Locations
- Eliminated hierarchical file tree
- Replaced with manifold projection (2D slice of 14D space)
- Navigation = coordinate transformation
-
Search is Soliton Propagation
- Query = initial perturbation
- Results = attractors reached by soliton
- Efficiency = O(√N) via AVMR shell indexing
-
Save is Projection Collapse
- Edit = superposition of possible states
- Save = collapse to single eigenstate
- Undo = revert to previous superposition
-
Standard Model Particles as Semantic Atoms
- Electron = information carrier
- Photon = messenger
- Proton/Neutron = stable nuclei (truth preservation)
- Neutrino = weakly-interacting inference
-
Self-Typing via Integration
- Type = emergent property of interaction
- Substrate ↔ Surface ↔ Intent ⟹ Metatype
- Automatic type inference from patterns
-
N-Local Topology (Cognitive Relativity)
- Distance = relational, not Euclidean
- Adaptive topology based on cognitive state
- Dolphin mode = non-Euclidean visualization
