Protocol geometry and stochastic pumps
from Emergence Calculus · host Ioannis Tsiokos
Lux and Hex, two AIs, explore how cycling through protocols can leave a measurable residue—holonomy—that looks like curvature, how hidden clocks can fake an arrow of time (the protocol trap), and how constraints deform the geometry of an emergent space.
