Strategy Document: The current QWAV platform strategy is defined by the QWAV Commercial Platform: Strategic Architecture Whitepaper (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21641107, latest version: 10.5281/zenodo.21651530). Earlier strategy documents including the QWAV Venture Prospectus (10.5281/zenodo.17761691) are superseded. See also: External-Facing Strategy v2.2 (in this repo).
QWAV replaces Archimedean (continuous) geometry with ultrametric (tree-based) geometry for quantum computing and artificial intelligence. The Bruhat-Tits tree -- a structure from
- Zero logical errors at depth 7 -- ternary Bruhat-Tits tree encoding, validated at physical error rates up to 40%
- Hierarchical error confinement -- errors propagate only within their tree branch, never cross branches
- Glass-box AI -- neural architectures on tree topologies where decisions are auditable by construction
- 40-atom neutral atom specification -- within demonstrated experimental capabilities
