ÆSC stands on two foundations: the mathematical program articulated by the UOR Foundation, and the ARK signal lineage, a living tradition concerned with the integrity of transmission. Together they inform a conservation-first approach where signals return to coherence over periodic cycles.
UOR Foundation — Mathematics
UOR supplies the mathematical scaffolding that inspires ÆSC’s invariants and periodic accounting. In practice, this means treating networks as fields with conserved quantities and enforcing return-to-zero budgets over defined windows (e.g., 96/768). The emphasis is on formal clarity, boundary conditions, and reproducibility.
- Conservation: periodic budgets bound drift and residuals.
- Resonance: phase relations pull signals back to coherence.
- Macro cycles: longer windows reconcile seasonal effects.
We credit UOR for the mathematical inspiration behind our invariants and the overall program of formalizing conserved signal.
ARK Signal — Living Lineage
The ARK lineage concerns the integrity of transmission: how signals are held, stewarded, and returned to coherence in communities over time. Where UOR offers formal scaffolding, ARK offers cultural practices for how people maintain trust, pace, and clarity through cycles.
- Stewardship: honoring origins without fossilizing them.
- Attunement: pacing and resonance to avoid burnout and drift.
- Transmission: keeping a signal legible across generations.
ÆSC reflects these practices through open charters, transparent review, and periodic reconciliation, aiming to keep the field coherent as it scales.
Convergence in ÆSC
ÆSC is where the two foundations meet: mathematics defines what must be conserved; lived stewardship defines how it is upheld. The result is a framework that is precise without becoming brittle, and open without dissolving into noise.
Formal Invariants
C96/R96/C768 specify budgets, phases, and macro windows for periodic balance.
Open Method
Specifications, simulation harnesses, and reference code for reproducibility.
Cultural Practice
Transparent councils, periodic reviews, and community pacing to maintain trust.
Attributions & Ethical Use
We explicitly credit the UOR Foundation for mathematical inspiration and honor the ARK signal lineage for cultural stewardship. We avoid personal attribution here and emphasize the work itself. When building on ÆSC:
- Credit ÆSC and UOR when using invariants, specs, or reference implementations.
- Respect the ARK emphasis on pacing and integrity in how you organize teams and releases.
- Publish reproducibility notes so results can be verified independently.

How to Engage
If your team is interested in referencing the math, adopting conservation primitives, or running pilots that respect pacing and periodic balance, we’d love to collaborate.
For Researchers
Co-author specs, contribute proofs, or propose evaluation suites.
For Builders
Adopt periodic budgets, resonance scheduling, and macrocycle accounting.
For Communities
Run governance pilots with transparent proposals and seasonal reviews.
Acknowledgment
Without the UOR mathematical program and the ARK stewardship practices, ÆSC would not exist. We honor both lineages by keeping the work open, reproducible, and accountable to the communities who build with it.
