## QNFO Program

**QNFO** = Quantum Foundations / Non-Foundational Ontology. A cross-domain synthesis research program with five pillars converging on ultrametric (non-Archimedean) mathematics.

| Pillar | Code | Domain | Key Topics |
|--------|------|--------|------------|
| Ultrametric Physics | UMP | WBS-1 | p-adic physics, ultrametric quantum computing, Adelic QFT, Bruhat-Tits trees, 4-Kelvin roadmap |
| Laws of Form | SLB | WBS-2 | Spencer-Brown calculus, primary algebra, Autaxys QC, void/distinction ontology |
| Information Physics | INM | WBS-3 | Adelic Shannon theory, measurement stratigraphy, rate-distortion on adele ring |
| Paradigm Engineering | CFE | WBS-4 | KIF gates, Bayesian evidential weight (KIF-60), epistemic hygiene, scaffold-invariant evaluation |
| Consilience | RES | WBS-5 | Cross-domain synthesis, KIF-29, valuation theory, Ostrowski's theorem, 42 Theses |
| QWAV Platform | PLT | WBS-6 | Research infrastructure, Zenodo pipeline, knowledge graph |

## Key Concepts

- **Ultrametric Quantum Computing (UQC)**: Hardware-level fault tolerance via ultrametric geometry
- **Adelic Shannon Theory**: Rate-distortion theory extended to the adele ring
- **Measurement Stratigraphy**: Information-theoretic layering of measurement acts
- **Autaxys QC**: Quantum computing in Spencer-Brown primary algebra
- **Bruhat-Tits Trees**: p-adic analogue of hyperbolic plane unifying RG, QEC, AdS/CFT
- **KIF-29**: Cross-Domain Consilience — independent convergence as gold-standard evidence
- **KIF-60**: Bayesian Evidential Weight Gate — OPERATIONAL/NON-OPERATIONAL/RETRODICTION/VACUOUS
- **Prime-Attentive Neural Networks**: Number-theoretic attention patterns
- **JPCUB Paradigm Forecast**: Quantitative paradigm-shift prediction
- **42 Theses on Pattern-Based Reality**: Pattern as fundamental ontological category
