The 731 Instruction Set Architecture (Origami ISA): Machine Code, Pachner Opcodes, Geometric Constraint Satisfaction, and Simplicial Paging
| Paper: 258 | Portfolio C — Quantum Hardware |
Abstract
Specifies the Origami ISA: a machine-code level instruction set for the 731-RPU (Resonance Processing Unit) using Pachner moves as opcodes and simplicial paging for memory management.
v2.0 adds the Peirce Register Architecture: the full 27-dimensional state space $\mathfrak{J}3(\mathbb{O}) = \mathcal{J}_1(P) \oplus \mathcal{J}{1/2}(P) \oplus \mathcal{J}_0(P)$ is identified as three distinct registers — the 16-dimensional Peirce-½ exceptional core as the quantum working register, the 1-dimensional $\mathcal{J}_1$ as the output register, and the 10-dimensional $\mathcal{J}_0$ as the classical ancilla. Algebraic noise protection (from Paper 235 Theorem 3.2) is distinguished from thermodynamic error suppression.
Key Results
- 4 base opcodes: ■ Split ($1\to 4$ Pachner), ◇ Splat ($4\to 1$), ▲ Flip ($2\to 3$), ▷ Flop ($3\to 2$)
- Peirce register architecture (v2.0): $\mathcal{J}_{1/2}(P)$ as quantum working register; Fano-Slots ($e_1\ldots e_7$) are its generators
- Simplicial Paging: saturated Fano-crystals compressed to 0-skeleton pointers; constant VRAM overhead
- Error suppression: Associator Penalty thermodynamically disfavours non-$PSL(2,7)$ states; reinforced by algebraic protection of $\mathcal{J}_{1/2}(P)$
Opcode Symbol Table
The ISA uses a Unicode visual alphabet. Each symbol encodes its semantics: filled shapes (■ ▲) are creation operators ($\alpha^\dagger$, add geometric mass); hollow shapes (◇ ▷) are annihilation operators ($\alpha$, erase geometric mass). The outer shape encodes the Pachner type: 4-sided (diamond/square) = 1↔4 stellar move, 3-sided (triangle) = 2↔3 bistellar flip.
| Symbol | Unicode | Verb | Move | Academic home |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ■ | U+25A0 | Split | $1 \to 4$ | mesh refinement, subdivision surfaces |
| ◇ | U+25C7 | Splat | $4 \to 1$ | 3D Gaussian splatting, volume rendering |
| ▲ | U+25B2 | Flip | $2 \to 3$ | PL topology, Delaunay, Mori MMP |
| ▷ | U+25B7 | Flop | $3 \to 2$ | Mori minimal model programme |
| ↻ | U+21BB | Twist | BOIL/SNAP | thermodynamic scheduling |
Mnemonic: filled shapes (■ ▲) have a flat horizontal base — they sit and build. Hollow shapes (◇ ▷) have a rightward point — they lean and release. Split/Splat rhyme (stellar pair); Flip/Flop rhyme (bistellar pair).
The self-duality of $G_2$ is encoded directly in the symbols: the coroot isomorphism $\sigma$ acts as “hollow out and tip rightward”, sending ■ $\mapsto$ ◇ and ▲ $\mapsto$ ▷. The Pachner unitarity identities are:
\[◇ \circ ■ = \mathrm{id}, \qquad ▷ \circ ▲ = \mathrm{id}\]See Paper 271 for the full algebraic development.
