Domains
ArcheNova organizes work by domains where irreversibility matters most. Each domain page states a short structural definition and highlights a representative paper or project.
Fundamental Physics
Fixing the upstream constraints of reality: what must be true before models, measurements, or interpretations diverge.
Representative: Experimental graviton detection as ambiguity elimination (Project / Note).
Quantum Infrastructure
Quantum systems as irreversible infrastructure: stability by boundary design, not continuous correction.
Representative: Memory-first quantum architecture (Quantum memory / silicon defects).
Energy & Planetary Systems
Energy as a civilizational boundary condition: systems that bind long-term responsibility across generations and environments.
Representative: Fission surface power as planetary continuity (Project / Note).
AI & Computation
Computation under constraints: eliminate catastrophic trajectories by embedding legitimacy and refusal into systems.
Representative: Constraint-first governance for AGI-scale capability (Essay / Draft).
Institutional / Legal Design
Institutions as irreversible commitments: contracts and governance that prevent responsibility escape.
Representative: Irreversible responsibility contracts for infrastructure (Framework / Draft).
Civilization-scale Systems
Minimal non-negotiable constraints that keep civilization locally free but globally safe.
Representative: Minimal constraint determination (Civilization-scale design principle).
