Crystalline storage
CSSA Crystalline Storage
Crystalline storage, photonic integration, physical state mechanisms, and qualification.
Publication direction
A disciplined comparison of glass and crystalline information substrates, physical state mechanisms, integration limits and evidence for retention.
Resolve two Rev1.0 bodies before selecting the authority; archival recording, active memory and compute require separate evidence.
Evidence and scope
Existing computing methods and materials research provide context. Proposed integrations, novel memory mechanisms, and cognition claims remain subject to qualification and testing.
Proposed 2027 development
Prepare a specialist proposal in 2027 only after the materials argument, worked examples and claim register are complete.
Next source work
Resolve the two CSSA Rev1.0 bodies and choose a qualified materials scope. Separate archival storage from active memory and cognition.
Consolidation
TFEM provides comparison material on candidate states, retention and qualification. It retains its own architecture identity. Neuromorphic Computer Eggs are a hardware family. NexaLoom and OAIS-MITI remain separate programs and conditional interface sources until their actual documents are reviewed.
Proposed chapter directions
Source-to-chapter planning only. These directions are not drafted or approved manuscript chapters.
Archival storage active memory and compute
Define the distinct functions and recover the lineage from the dated quartz-storage interest to the current materials architecture.
