Protocol overhead as topological deficit, settlement band gap, frame nativity analysis, whip wave duality, overhead comparison across wire formats.
protocol_deficitMeasure protocol overhead as topological deficit. Compares a given framing to the paper's 10-byte self-describing binary stream frame header, and to HTTP/1.1 baseline. Returns overhead ratio, deficit,...
settlement_band_gapCompute the settlement band gap for a negotiation protocol. Given a set of offers from multiple parties, determines the current gap, convergence rate, estimated rounds to settlement, and whether the s...
frame_analysisAnalyze a wire format for fork/race/fold nativity. Determines whether the frame format IS the execution model (protocol-as-execution closure) or merely carries data. Returns nativity score, overhead a...
whip_waveAnalyze whip wave duality in a signal propagation system. Given a chain of segments with varying lengths and speeds, computes total propagation time, whip amplification factor, and wave interference p...
overhead_comparisonCompare protocol overhead across multiple formats. Ranks by efficiency, flags head-of-line blocking risk, and recommends the best protocol for the given workload (LEDGER section 7).
frame_header_sandwichCompute the frame header sandwich: ⌈log₂(N×S)/8⌉+1 ≤ header ≤ 128. Returns information-theoretic floor and protocol overhead ceiling.
thm_q_deficitQuantum speedup identity in topology-matched regime [LEDGER: THM-Q-DEFICIT]
thm_q_correspondence_boundaryPath-integral correspondence is operationally exact only for linear full aggregation; nonlinear selection cannot preserve the same partition-additivity/order-invariance properties in general, and any ...

thm_bandgap_beta2Band gap implies `β₂ > 0 [LEDGER: THM-BANDGAP-BETA2]
thm_band_gap_voidBand gap as void positivity: an allowed energy band with forbidden zones tracks band gap existence and void positivity. When forbidden energies exist between boundary levels, Beta2 > 0 -- the void mea...
thm_protocol_deficitTopological deficit across protocol families: TCP has deficit = streamCount - 1 (zero Beta1), QUIC has deficit = 0 (full Beta1), Flow has deficit = 0. The deficit measures how much multiplexing topolo...
thm_quantum_deficitQuantum speedup through Beta1 elimination: N = rootN^2. Classical deficit = rootN - 1. Quantum deficit = 0. Sequential rounds = N, parallel rounds = rootN, speedup = N / rootN [LEDGER: THM-QUANTUM-DEF...
thm_settlement_deficitSequential settlement has deficit = 2, parallel settlement has deficit = 0. The topological deficit measures wasted parallelism in the settlement mode [LEDGER: THM-SETTLEMENT-DEFICIT]
thm_frame_bisimFrame-native execution (frameRace, frameFold) produces identical results to Stream-based execution under the canUseFrameNativePath guard: no timeout, no shared state, all handlers registered, default ...
thm_frame_wallington_equivTick-parallel frame executor with flat pre-allocated grid produces same output as sequential Stream-based wallington for any stage/chunk decomposition [LEDGER: THM-FRAME-WALLINGTON-EQUIV]
thm_frame_overhead_boundFrame-native allocates O(N) raw promises; Stream-based allocates O(7N) objects (AbortController + event listener + state machine + Promise constructor + result wrapper + vented tracker + map entry). S...
thm_fold_increases_wave_speedA fold reduces mass density ρ (discharges β₁) while preserving tension T (energy conservation). Wave speed c² = T/ρ increases at every fold. Inner folds are faster than outer folds. This is why the ti...
thm_snap_thresholdThe snap (supersonic transition) is inevitable if tension is preserved and mass decreases through enough fold stages. For any threshold c*², there exists a fold depth where wave speed exceeds it. Phys...
thm_taper_monotonicityThrough a sequence of nested folds, wave speed is monotonically increasing. No fold can slow the wave down (Second Law: folds are irreversible, β₁ only decreases). The taper is a one-way energy concen...
thm_binary_encodingA snap sequence encodes a bitstream: snap = 1, silence = 0. Channel capacity = number of fold stages. The metronomic regime (equal spacing, zero jitter) maximizes capacity. Scale-invariant: works on p...
thm_whip_wave_dualityThe fork/race/fold primitive is a wave on a discrete tapered medium. Fork increases ρ (creates mass across parallel paths). Fold decreases ρ (concentrates energy at the snap point). Wave speed increas...
