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.

ZX Diagrams at the Seam: Spiders, Pauli Webs, Gadgets, and the Cafeteria Problem of Cross-Disciplinary Imports
Diagrammatic languages are the most successful interface between quantum computing and the human mind. The ZX calculus — with its spiders, Pauli webs, and gadgets — is taught as the intuitive picture of quantum processes, and its completeness theorems are among the finest results in the field. Yet…
Autaxys Ontological Closure: When Is a Physical Quantity Computationally Real?
We propose an operational criterion for physical reality: a quantity is physically real only if there exists a finite Turing-machine protocol that approximates it with a computable modulus of convergence, yielding measurement-distinguishable predictions. This criterion is not a metaphysical claim…
The Revolutionary Beginner's Guide to Quantum Computing: Why We Don't Have Quantum Computers Yet — and What the Geometric Alternative Offers
A 20-chapter beginner's guide to quantum computing that starts with an honest question — why don't we have quantum computers yet? — rather than the usual "here's what a qubit is." The guide teaches the standard curriculum (qubits, entanglement, algorithms, error correction) accurately, explains why…
