# CRT Torus Embedding: Iteration Regime
Open Direction #1 — defining and analyzing the re-embedding cascade.
---
## 1. Problem
F is defined from A ⊂ into R = /M. For the k-torus, F(A) lives in a
different space than A. To iterate, we need:
1. An **extension** of F to the integer lift of any finite set
2. A **regeneration rule** for parameters (L₁,…,Lₖ, S) at each step
3. A **stability condition** that determines when the cascade terminates
---
## 2. Domain Extension
Define a family of maps indexed by moduli:
$$
F_{L_1,\dots,L_k,S}(a) = \text{CRT-1}(a \bmod L_1,\; S-a \bmod L_2,\; \dots,\; S-a \bmod L_k)
$$
for any integer a (or any residue a ∈ /M lifted to ). This extends F from
A ⊂ to all of /M via the same congruence rule.
**Iteration step n:**
$$
A_{n+1} = \{\, F_{L_1^{(n)},\dots,L_k^{(n)},S^{(n)}}(a) \mid a \in \text{lift}(A_n) \,\}
$$
where $\text{lift}(A_n)$ maps the current set to (the CRT integer lift).
---
## 3. Regeneration Rule
The simplest deterministic rule: a **geometric modulus cascade**.
Fix initial moduli (L₁⁽⁰⁾, L₂⁽⁰⁾) and growth factors (α, β) ≥ 1:
$$
L_1^{(n)} = \lfloor \alpha^n \cdot L_1^{(0)} \rfloor,
\qquad
L_2^{(n)} = \lfloor \beta^n \cdot L_2^{(0)} \rfloor
$$
and S fixed or adapted:
- **Fixed S**: the involution center remains constant across steps. The
reflection constraint Sa may not hold in Aₙ for n ≥ 1 — this is fine,
the constraint only needs to hold in A₀.
- **Adaptive S**: at step n, choose Sₙ = max(Aₙ) + min(Aₙ) to keep Aₙ
reflection-closed.
### Regime types
| Growth | Behavior | Use case |
|--------|----------|----------|
| α > 1, β > 1 | **Expanding cascade** — torus grows, finer resolution | Multi-scale embedding |
| α = β = 1 | **Fixed torus** — F² = id on /M, sequence stabilizes at A₁ | Single-step transformation |
| α, β alternating | **Oscillating cascade** — cycles between resolutions | Searching for Sidon creation |
---
## 4. Stability Condition
A cascade stabilizes at step n if:
$$
F_{L_1^{(n)},\dots,L_k^{(n)},S^{(n)}}(A_n) = A_n \quad\text{(as sets of integers)}
$$
Sufficient condition for stability:
If the moduli at step n+1 are the same as step n and Aₙ is F-invariant
(i.e., Aₙ is a union of F-orbits), then F² = id on the torus forces
A_{n+2} = A_n — a 2-cycle.
**Terminal state:** A cascade converges to a fixed point when:
1. Aₙ is closed under S-reflection (the original constraint), AND
2. F(Aₙ) = Aₙ (set invariance under F)
This is equivalent to: every element of Aₙ is either a fixed point of F
or paired with its F-image within Aₙ.
---
## 5. Example: Expanding Cascade with k = 1
For a single-modulus system (k = 1), F reduces to the identity. The
cascade does nothing — trivial. The interesting case starts at k = 2.
---
## 6. Open Questions
1. **Convergence rate** — for α > 1, does the cascade reach a terminal
state in finite steps, or does the expanding torus prevent stabilization?
2. **Optimal growth** — what α, β minimize the number of steps needed
to achieve a target property P in Aₙ?
3. **S-adaptation** — does adaptive S always outperform fixed S for
reaching Sidon/B_h/Golomb properties?
4. **Braid connection** — does the expanding cascade correspond to
iterating braid crossings (adding one crossing per step)?
