The Mirror Fractal Method

A unified mathematical framework for hierarchical binary decomposition. Protected by US Patent Pending #64/034,974 covering eight inventions across compression, protocols, and AI memory.

Core Principles

Hierarchical Structure

Recursive decomposition at each level, enabling adaptive encoding and streaming-compatible decompression across domains.

Lossless Fidelity

Bit-exact round-trip guarantee. Every dataset encodes and decodes to identical bits, suitable for archival and forensic applications.

Deterministic

No randomness, no training, no model checkpoints. Identical input produces identical output every time, every device.

Sparsity-Aware

Exploits sparse structure inherent in events, weights, and discrete geometric objects. Compression improves with sparsity.

Hardware-Agnostic

Runs on CPU, GPU, FPGA, and neuromorphic chips. No exotic math, no specialized accelerators required.

Self-Contained

Single unified framework across all products. Same core primitive powers compression, quantization, adaptive streaming, and cryptographic protocols.

What the Method Enables

Lossless Compression

Achieve 10–50× compression on sparse binary datasets without neural networks. First shipping product: MFC for event-camera data.

Efficient Quantization

Sub-2-bit LLM weight representation with bit-exact accuracy recovery. Planned product: MFQ.

Progressive Containers

Universal file format supporting hierarchical extraction and incremental decoding. Planned: FRAC.

Adaptive Protocols

Streaming protocol that adjusts bitrate and quality in real time based on network and decoder capability. Planned: FQL.

Encrypted Memory

Hierarchical encrypted storage for AI context and episodic memory. Planned: MirrorMind.

Cross-Chain Consensus

Fractal decomposition applied to blockchain consensus mechanisms. Planned: Fractal Bridge.
