Papers you can read, cite and question
728 papers from the QNFO program, filed on nine shelves by the reader each one is written for: energy per answer, error correction, physics, numbers and p-adics, logic and formalism, AI and knowledge, autonomous systems, assessments, and cross-cutting essays. Every page renders its mathematics and can be questioned in place. How a living paper works.

The Adelic Distinction: Physics as Automorphic Representation Theory on the Idele Class Group
Ostrowski's theorem (1916) establishes that every completion of the rational numbers $\mathbb{Q}$ is either the real Archimedean place $\mathbb{R}$ or a $p$-adic non-Archimedean place $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Physics has, for a century, restricted itself to the Archimedean completion alone — using real…
Adelic Shannon Theory: From Problem Statement to Constructive Foundations
Standard Shannon theory — channel capacity, entropy, source coding, and the Gaussian noise model — is archimedean: it measures information in bits over $\mathbb{R}$. The Adelic Physics Programme's central claim — $\mathbb{Q}$, not $\mathbb{R}$, is the physically accessible base field — suggests that…
The Adelic Physics Program: Epistemological Foundations and Communications Framework
The QNFO Adelic Physics Program proposes that the physically accessible base field of physics is ℚ (the rational numbers), not ℝ (the real numbers). Ostrowski's theorem — a proven result in number theory — then demands that all p-adic completions of ℚ be physically meaningful, transforming the…
The Decryption Key: Cognitive Architecture as the Hidden Radix of Physical Measurement
The evolved cognitive architecture of Homo sapiens — decimal numeracy from ten fingers, water-based biochemistry, Euclidean spatial intuition from visual cortex processing, and body-scale affordances including stride length, hand-heft, and heartbeat-period temporal chunking — functions as a…
