Periodic Stack — math primitive manifest
Catalog of 258 fundamental math primitives organized into 33 families. The Rosetta Stone for mapping computational patterns to silicon (and photonic, quantum, thermodynamic) substrates.

Faux-moat bypassed
No public taxonomy classifies fabbable primitives across silicon, photonic, quantum, neuromorphic, and thermodynamic substrates uniformly. Designers pick their substrate first, then re-derive primitives.
Value to customer
Design from math, not market. Identify which primitives your application needs and which substrate is the energy/cost optimum for each. 36 of the 258 are L₀-free; ~45 have zero hardware today.
