Axiomatic Topological Inverse Query and Complexity Maximization Theory: A Paradigm Shift toward Non-Commutative Algebraic Manifold and Chaotic Stream Synthesis

Jincheng Zhang

For over half a century, the core paradigm of query optimization has been defined by a monotonic, scalar minimization convergence model aimed at suppressing computational resource consumption. This paper presents a radical paradigm shift that fundamentally subverts this traditional framework by establishing the Axiomatic Topological Inverse Query and Complexity Maximization Theory (ATIQ-CMT). Instead of pursuing local or global minima within discrete equivalence graphs, we reconstruct the relational algebra space into a non-Hausdorff, locally compact topological space governed by five foundational axioms. By introducing the Inverse Lipschitz Affine Expansion Mapping (ILAEM) under operator braid transformations, we demonstrate how compact query plans can be inversely dilated into divergent flows across high-dimensional complex affine varieties, creating irreversible mathematical obstructions for traditional gradient-based cost models. To maximize computational complexity natively, we execute a non-commutative extension of the relational algebra core via algebraically twisted join operators embedded in infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, effectively destroying the classic commutative-associative symmetry. We further inject un-decidable Diophantine predicates and 3-SAT arithmetical homomorphic graphs as computational obstructions, rigorously proving a non-polynomial exponential lower bound for physical query execution times. Utilizing sheaf theory and de Rham cohomology on chain complexes, we provide a definitive topological proof that the absolute semantic integrity of the query remains invariant throughout this chaotic dilation. Finally, we formulate a deterministic chaotic operator execution flow driven by high-order Lorenz mappings, maximizing the algebraic Shannon entropy of intermediate states. ATIQ-CMT bridges declarative relational logic and high-level structural topology, unlocking revolutionary potentials in zero-knowledge proof circuit synthesis, active cybersecurity defense, and the theoretical computational limits of neuro-symbolic and quantum systems.

The Emergence of Dynamic Logic Seeds: A New Paradigm for NFTs in Fractal Memory Networks

Krzysztof Numpsa

We propose a revolutionary shift in the utility of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), transitioning from static digital assets to "Dynamic Logic Seeds" (DLS). By leveraging the Coherence Tensor () and fractal memory architectures, these assets act as frequency-based keys that trigger recursive computational expansions. Through a dual-blockchain system (Low-Frequency/High-Frequency), we demonstrate a method for preserving infinite logical versions across spacetime fluctuations at the Planck scale.

KRILL: Bio-Inspired Network Architecture for the Internet of Things.

Krill2026

KRILL β€” Bio-Inspired Architecture for IoT Consensus Decentralized IoT consensus without blockchain β€” inspired by ant colonies, immune systems & chemical diffusion. What is KRILL? The problem: Blockchain doesn't work for IoT. It's too heavy, too slow, and too expensive for devices running on batteries with 32KB of RAM. IoT needs to answer "What is the physical state of the world?" β€” not "Who has how much money?" The solution: KRILL replaces blockchain with 9 mechanisms borrowed from biology: Mechanism Biological inspiration What it does Stigmergic Consensus Ant pheromone trails Nodes "deposit" readings like ants deposit pheromones. Truth emerges from convergence, not voting. Pentastratic Immune System Human immune layers 5-layer anomaly detection: skin (format check) β†’ innate (statistical) β†’ adaptive (learned) β†’ NK audit β†’ autoimmune suppression. Metabolic State Cell metabolism Data has a "half-life" β€” old readings decay and die automatically. No infinite ledger. Entropic Data Valuation Thermodynamic entropy Network autonomously decides which data is worth storing based on information theory. Quorum Sensing Bacterial quorum sensing Nodes detect local density and switch modes (solo β†’ quorum β†’ swarm) without any coordinator. Horizontal Gene Transfer Bacterial gene sharing Firmware updates spread node-to-node like genes between bacteria. No update server needed. Morphogenetic Topology Embryonic development Network self-organizes its topology using reaction-diffusion (Turing patterns). Thymic Tolerance T-cell training in thymus System learns what "normal" looks like to avoid false alarms. Immunological Memory Vaccine/antibody memory Once the network detects an attack pattern, it "vaccinates" all nodes. The result: 1000x less energy than blockchain consensus Runs on a $2 ESP32 microcontroller (240KB RAM) Works with intermittent connectivity (mesh, BLE, LoRa, WiFi) No miners, no staking, no tokens β€” consensus is grounded in physical reality Scales to millions of nodes without coordinator Status: Research paper + engineering specification.

Myceloom: The Linguistic Infrastructure of Web4

Josie Jefferson, Felix Velasco

Abstract: As Web4 evolves into a symbiotic and intelligent ecosystem, current terminology fails to capture its fundamental nature, relying on abstract descriptions or generic Web3 derivatives. This paper introduces "Myceloom" as a critical linguistic artifact and conceptual framework for this emerging infrastructure. Through a digital archaeological analysis, the study synthesizes the etymological and functional characteristics of fungal networks (mycelium) and weaving technologies (loom) to describe a web defined by decentralized collaboration and active integration. By bridging biological intelligence and technological craft, the concept of Myceloom offers a precise vernacular for the symbiotic protocols, interfaces, and governance models that will define the collaboration between human and synthetic consciousness. Keywords: Myceloom, Web4, Symbiotic Web, Digital Archaeology, Sentientification, Linguistic Infrastructure, Synthetic Consciousness, Biomimetic Networks, Human-AI Symbiosis, Swarm Intelligence, Active Inference, Collaborative Architecture

The Relational Calculus for Green AI

Massimiliano Concas

This project is the public home of Relational Calculus, a meta‑mathematical framework that replaces the brute‑force logic of absolute‑scale computation with dimension‑less, capacity‑anchored blueprints. At its heart lies a simple but radical axiom: every system possesses an intrinsic maximumβ€”a β€œNorth Star”—and by expressing all observations as fractions of that limit, complexity collapses, efficiency soars, and transfer across domains becomes automatic. The collection gathers the complete stack: the foundational theoretical paper, a ready‑to‑run Relational Decoder (an open‑source algorithm that probes any black‑box function and extracts its dimensionless template), and five applied case studies that prove the principle in wildly different arenasβ€”number theory (deterministic prime pair lattices), symbolic artificial intelligence (a geometric chess engine that exhibits emergent strategy with zero domain knowledge, gaining 90%+ efficiency), high‑energy physics (scale‑invariant jet tagging that transfers zero‑shot across collision energies with +14.5% AUC), quantum chemistry (80% error reduction in cross‑molecule transfer), and precision oncology (a lightweight XGBoost that achieves 98.4% cross‑species diagnostic accuracy under a 70% hardware‑signal collapse, completely erasing batch effects). A companion paper extends the logic to large language models, proposing Relational‑CoT as a drop‑in replacement for resource‑intensive chain‑of‑thought reasoning. Every work converges on the same empirical signature: >90% reduction in computational cost, genuine zero‑shot generalization across scales and species, and the proof that Green AI is not an aspiration but an engineering reality. An integrated STEM curriculum for ages 10–14 ensures that the relational lens is taught before the continuous one, inoculating the next generation against the wasteful β€œmath of deviation.” All code, data, and executable papers are open‑source. The project is intended not as a scholarly gesture but as an enablement instrument for the industrial shift from the Age of Fireβ€”where more compute meant more extractionβ€”to the Era of Relation, where measuring how full a system is replaces the endless pursuit of how much.

Cooperative Intelligence: Three Biological Paradigms of AI Architecture

James Vann Cunningham

This paper examines three paradigms of cooperative intelligence in computing: parallel processing, distributed computing, and multi-agent orchestration. Each paradigm has a distinct architectural logic, a distinct set of tradeoffs, and a distinct counterpart in the collective behavior of biological systems. The hive mind concept, understood not as a single model but as a spectrum of collective organization, provides the organizing framework for comparing all three. Parallel processing, characterized by its tightly coupled, shared-memory architecture, is the computational equivalent of a unified hive: a system that achieves emergent intelligence through massive, synchronized coordination, prioritizing raw speed and coherent state. Distributed computing, with its loosely coupled, distributed-memory model, reflects a decentralized swarm in which autonomous units operating under local rules produce scalable, fault-tolerant collective behavior without centralized control. Multi-agent orchestration corresponds to a third biological archetype, the coordinated superorganism: a system in which role-specialized agents communicate through explicit protocols to accomplish tasks beyond the reach of any individual unit or undifferentiated collective. These three paradigms are not sequential stages of development. They are distinct architectural choices, each optimized for a different class of problem, and each present in current production AI systems. The most capable systems in deployment today combine all three, using tightly coupled GPU infrastructure for model training, federated or distributed networks for privacy-preserving inference, and orchestrated agent teams for complex multi-step workflows. Understanding where each paradigm excels, where it fails, and how the biological analogy that illuminates its structure eventually reaches its limits is the central focus of this analysis. The final section addresses those limits directly, arguing that the hive mind framework is a productive lens for architectural design but must not be extended to prescribe how machine cognition operates at the execution layer.

BioDAO: Biological Decentralized Autonomous Organizations Using Wetware Computing for Collective Governance

Vincenzo Marino

This paper proposes BioDAO (Biological Decentralized Autonomous Organization), a novel governance framework that integrates quantum biological computing, wetware systems, and blockchain technology to address fundamental limitations in collective decision-making. Traditional institutions face challenges including information asymmetry, principal-agent problems, and coordination failures. BioDAOs leverage photosynthetic bacteria for quantum coherent energy transfer, neural organoids for adaptive learning, and mycelial networks for distributed sensing to create governance systems that operate at biological timescales with unprecedented efficiency. We present a technical architecture combining biological computing substrates with cryptographic consensus mechanisms, demonstrating potential applications in climate governance, resource allocation, and collective action problems. Comparative analysis shows BioDAOs could reduce decision latency by 99.9% while consuming 0.001% of the energy required by traditional institutions. This work bridges synthetic biology, distributed systems, and institutional economics to propose a fundamentally new approach to organizing collective human activity.

Decentralized traffic management of autonomous drones

B. BalΓ‘zs, TamΓ‘s Vicsek, GergΕ‘ Somorjai, TamΓ‘s Nepusz Β· 5 authors

Abstract Coordination of local and global aerial traffic has become a legal and technological bottleneck as the number of unmanned vehicles in the common airspace continues to grow. To meet this challenge, automation and decentralization of control is an unavoidable requirement. In this paper, we present a solution that enables self-organization of cooperating autonomous agents into an effective traffic flow state in which the common aerial coordination taskβ€”filled with conflictsβ€”is resolved. Using realistic simulations, we show that our algorithm is safe, efficient, and scalable regarding the number of drones and their speed range, while it can also handle heterogeneous agents and even pairwise priorities between them. The algorithm works in any sparse or dense traffic scenario in two dimensions and can be made increasingly efficient by a layered flight space structure in three dimensions. To support the feasibility of our solution, we show stable traffic simulations with up to 5000 agents, and experimentally demonstrate coordinated aerial traffic of 100 autonomous drones within a 250 m wide circular area.

Topological Analysis of Bitcoin's Lightning Network

IstvΓ‘n AndrΓ‘s Seres, LΓ‘szlΓ³ GulyΓ‘s, DΓ‘niel Nagy, PΓ©ter Burcsi

Bitcoin's Lightning Network (LN) is a scalability solution for Bitcoin allowing transactions to be issued with negligible fees and settled instantly at scale. In order to use LN, funds need to be locked in payment channels on the Bitcoin blockchain (Layer-1) for subsequent use in LN (Layer-2). LN is comprised of many payment channels forming a payment channel network. LN's promise is that relatively few payment channels already enable anyone to efficiently, securely and privately route payments across the whole network. In this paper, we quantify the structural properties of LN and argue that LN's current topological properties can be ameliorated in order to improve the security of LN, enabling it to reach its true potential.

Information Driven Self-Organization of Agents and Agent Collectives

Malte Harder

From a visual standpoint it is often easy to point out whether a system is considered to be self-organizing or not, though a quantitative approach would be more helpful. Information theory, as introduced by Shannon, provides the right tools not only quantify self-organization, but also to investigate it in relation to the information processing performed by individual agents within a collective. This thesis sets out to introduce methods to quantify spatial self-organization in collective systems in the continuous domain as a means to investigate morphogenetic processes. In biology, morphogenesis denotes the development of shapes and form, for example embryos, organs or limbs. Here, I will introduce methods to quantitatively investigate shape formation in stochastic particle systems. In living organisms, self-organization, like the development of an embryo, is a guided process, predetermined by the genetic code, but executed in an autonomous decentralized fashion. Information is processed by the individual agents (e.g. cells) engaged in this process. Hence, information theory can be deployed to study such processes and connect self-organization and information processing. The existing concepts of observer based self-organization and relevant information will be used to devise a framework for the investigation of guided spatial self-organization. Furthermore, local information transfer plays an important role for processes of self-organization. In this context, the concept of synergy has been getting a lot attention lately. Synergy is a formalization of the idea that for some systems the whole is more than the sum of its parts and it is assumed that it plays an important role in self-organization, learning and decision making processes. In this thesis, a novel measure of synergy will be introduced, that addresses some of the theoretical problems that earlier approaches posed.
