COMPUTATIONAL IRREDUCIBILITY

Path-Dependent
State Evolution

We leverage Generalized Collatz Maps to create entropy streams where state prediction is formally reducible to the Halting Problem, creating a physical Time-Lock.


ANALYZE ARCHITECTURE

1. Non-Local State Entanglement

Standard cryptographic algorithms (AES, SHA) rely on "Confusion and Diffusion" over multiple rounds. Drift Systems achieves this in a single cycle via Non-Local Modulo Arithmetic.

The transition function $S_{t+1} = f(S_t \pmod P)$ forces a global dependency. A single bit flip at the LSB (Least Significant Bit) instantly alters the modulus residue, which reconfigures the arithmetic operation for the entire register.

State Register S → Modulo Check → Global Feedback
Figure 1: Global Feedback. The modulus check ($n \pmod P$) acts as a global entangler, preventing the state from being decomposed into independent sub-problems.

2. Formal Verification: No Fixed Points

To prove that the system cannot become trapped in a trivial loop (a "Fixed Point"), we verify the Positive Drift Theorem. [cite_start]This proves that for any coefficient $c \ge 1$, the state update is strictly expanding[cite: 148, 149].

Theorem 2: The Positive Drift
Proves that for any coefficient c >= 1 (the positive domain),
the function is strictly expanding (c_next > c).
This implies that no fixed point (cycle) can exist for c >= 1.

By verifying positive_drift, we mathematically guarantee that the system's trajectory must evolve continuously, ensuring forward security.
