18-autophi-future - Copy

This “Copy” variant (SKU 2047) contains the same technology base as the primary 18-autophi-future package. It shares the identical seed architecture, photon-chromosome encoding, metal-tree structure, nine technology elements, and the full MANIFEST of 7,661 files spanning HDL, EDA flow output, documentation, data, chemistry/bio artefacts, source code, images, layout, and web content.

Maturity Level: 4 — Tape-out / Mass-Manufacturable.

The product is the ratio: instruction set (from size) → calculation (FLOPS) and performance per exchange (per dollar, per watt, per area). You supply envelope and node (size); you receive calculation and performance per exchange. No mainstream roadmap states that. The formulas are in the open; the ability to build seeds from the ratio is in the repository. That is the product.

ZettaFLOPS in real height and width, inside a normal run of an IC wafer: the right ratio in voxel-to-nm, the envelope, the power and cooling, the AES and COGS. That outcome to be found — the concrete dimensions and the number that put the whole chip, born at once, inside a real run — that is the miracle we call calculation. We build the whole chip at one birth. We input the result as the instruction. We draw the voxel, plan the pins, grow from root to trunk to branch to leaves. We add light and electrons when needed and transform into quantum. The finding of that ratio, that envelope, that number, is the miracle we call calculation. The value of a capability you never had is not a number.

AutoPhi Future posits a metal tree that computes. No water. No biological leaves. What flows through it is data; what it draws in is light; what it turns that light into is electricity to function. The chip is not a metaphor of a plant; it is a structure that fulfils the same roles in metal and in computation.

Voxel types — the species of this tree: INTERCONNECT, LIGHT, BLANK, HYBRID, QUANTUM, IO, MEMORY, CROSS. Mapped to tree roles: SEND (INTERCONNECT, CROSS, LIGHT as waveguide/router), ENERGY (LIGHT as light→electricity, IO as power/light in), COOL_SUPPORT (BLANK extended to thermal/decap/support, or dedicated COOL voxel). Compute and storage consumers: HYBRID, QUANTUM, MEMORY, IO.

Each voxel cell carries a DNA-style encoding across three strands — electron (classical), atomic (quantum), and photon (light). The photon chromosome encodes the real form in light. Four quantities map directly to computation:

One photon chromosome = (λ, pol, path, I) = (opcode, operand/phase, address, magnitude). This is the photon analogue of the classical (opcode, operands, result) and quantum (gate, mask, phase) chromosomes. The light trigger — single-photon computation initiation — starts the cell cycle. Three strands, one cell, one trigger.

The seed is the minimal, canonical specification from which every build is grown. It is not a single file; it is the canonical set:

Seed manifest: seeds/SEED.yaml — version 1, name “AutoPhi chip seed (18),” six axes: tiers, cogs_bands, cpu_gpu_dpu_all_in_one, voxel_roles, photon_chromosome, nine_tech. Reproducibility: same seed, same inputs, same result. Version the seed; version the chips. The seed defines the unit; scaling is by repeating and tiling — segment, stack, volume.

The executable portion of the seed is one or more voxels built through OpenLANE2 to GDSII and LEF. The reference implementation:

OpenLANE2 configuration (scripts/openlane_seed_design/config.json):

PDK: SkyWater 130 nm (sky130) via volare at PDK_ROOT. Growth into 3 nm and 5 nm uses the same RTL and flow concept; only the foundry PDK and node-specific parameters change (CLOCK_PERIOD 0.5–1 ns range; foundry-specific keys). Target foundries: TSMC, Samsung, Intel, SkyWater, GlobalFoundries.

EDA flow runs captured in the package: Multiple OpenLANE2 runs dated 2026-02-07, including full 57-step flows (01-verilator-lint through 57-klayout-streamout). Final artefacts include autophi_voxel_blank.gds, autophi_voxel_blank.magic.gds, autophi_voxel_blank.klayout.gds, STA corner results across three PVT corners (nom_ff_n40C_1v95, nom_ss_100C_1v60, nom_tt_025C_1v80), and all intermediate synthesis, floorplan, placement, CTS, and routing reports.

AES (from Latin aes = bronze) is the code name for “actual” — actual cost, actual price to function. Documented COGS paths: $20K AES COGS at 1B volume, 3 nm, 240 dies, 5–10 year path; $5K AES COGS at 10B volume, 1 nm, 12 dies, 10–15 year path.

System-level (AQCHS): 32,768+ TOPS, 150 TB/s photonic interconnect, 4,096 superconducting qubits (Josephson junction, 99.9% fidelity), 1M+ artificial neurons, quantum memory (1 ms+ coherence).

REV_H scaled card (800×): 2.8 ZettaFLOPS peak, 5 PB memory, 9.83M qubits, 3.2B neurons, 360 PB/s bandwidth, 4.8M optical channels, 2,400 dies integrated, 280 kW power, PCIe form factor (268 mm × 111 mm × 70 mm), 2U+ server compatible. Cost optimised from $250.4M down to $5K–$20K target (12,500×–50,000× reduction). Integrated custom memory: 6.256 TB at $0 additional cost (quantum + photonic + neuromorphic reuse; no external HBM dependency).

A matrix formula table to build seeds from the ratio. Inputs, outputs, and the formulas that connect them:

Worked example (130 nm): H=20 mm, W=20 mm, a_v=0.31 mm², f_v=1×10&sup9; FLOPS, power=400 W, AES=$20,000 → S=400 mm², N_v≈1,290 voxels, C≈1.29×10¹² FLOPS, ρ≈3.225×10&sup9; FLOPS/mm², P_per_dollar≈6.45×10&sup7; FLOPS/$, P_per_watt≈3.225×10&sup9; FLOPS/W.

Seed matrix deliverables in the repository: seeds/seed_matrix_template.csv (template with input and output columns, any number of rows), seeds/seed_matrix_example.json (JSON with “inputs” and “computed” blocks), docs/SEED_MATRIX_FORMULA.md (complete formula table), docs/SEED_MATRIX_IMPORT.md (usage guide — CSV/JSON, any size, truncated OK).

Every build can be written to a 25 GB Blu-ray disc: foundry handoff packages, standards, performance metrics, decisive COGS, and Seeds/ when present. The disc is distributable and resellable under chosen terms.

Build script: scripts/build_bluray_foundry.py — packages from Project 24 (foundry packages) + Performance_And_COGS from Project 18/docs + Seeds from 18/seeds into a Blu-ray-ready folder. Companion batch: scripts/build_bluray_foundry.bat.

Blu-ray builds captured in the package (four future-only builds, all dated 2026-03-14):

Each Blu-ray build contains: Performance_And_COGS/CHIP_SERIES_CPU_GPU_DPU.md (5,042 bytes), Performance_And_COGS/CODE_NAME_ACTUAL_BRONZE.md (2,044 bytes), Performance_And_COGS/PERFORMANCE_AND_COGS_SUMMARY.md (2,659 bytes), Seeds/README.md (1,596 bytes), Seeds/SEED.yaml (803 bytes), Seeds/seed_matrix_example.json (604 bytes), Seeds/seed_matrix_template.csv (199 bytes).

The vision includes quantum: QUANTUM voxel type, whole-quantum options, hybrid quantum–classical, nine technology elements. The seed built today is classical: one cell, built with OpenLANE2 (synthesis + P&R), SkyWater 130 nm. No qubits in that block. Quantum is the path available when the right voxel types and RTL are added (in Projects 27/28 and beyond). No hand-waving. No scam. No one is lost.

How chips are made in AutoPhi: RTL (from 27/24/28) → synthesis (Yosys) → OpenLANE2 P&R → GDSII/LEF → foundry or package. Project 18 provides the seed voxel build (one cell), the ratio and seed matrix (formulas, CSV, JSON), and the Blu-ray packaging. Projects 24/27/28 provide the full RTL and build flows for bigger dies and systems.

Standalone RAG folder: rag/ with copies of key 18-docs for offline retrieval.
