Abstract

The geometric theory of computational spacetime models algorithmic efficiency as geodesics in a five-dimensional manifold (S,T,H,E,C) spanning space, time, memory hierarchy, energy, and quantum coherence. Classical ``wormholes'' - localized reparameterizations that bypass regions of high action - capture many known shortcuts (e.g., spectral sparsifiers, spanners, FFT/NTT, JL embeddings). This paper proposes seven new wormhole classes that leverage quantum--classical hybrids, topological structure, distributed consensus geometry, neuromorphic dynamics, differential privacy, and federated optimization. For each class we provide a formal setup, entry tolls, shortcut statements, structural preconditions, and resource trade-offs in the (S,T,H,E,C) framework. All complexity improvements are stated under explicit assumptions (e.g., QRAM-style access, partial synchrony, low-distortion embeddings, well-conditioned quantum Fisher information, sparsity, and idealized sketching/compression bounds). The analysis yields convergence conditions, approximation/stability bounds, and a comparative matrix to guide algorithm design in heterogeneous compute environments.

Computational Relativity: A Geometric Theory of Algorithmic Spacetime

Michael Rey

Computation has historically been framed in Newtonian terms: time and space as separate, absolute measures of algorithmic cost. Yet modern algorithms—from randomized heuristics to quantum circuits—demand a relativistic view where time, space, energy, entropy, and coherence form a unified manifold. This work introduces computational relativity: a geometric theory of algorithms built on spacetime geodesics, entropy trade-offs, and quantum coherence dynamics. We show how classical complexity results like the Hopcroft-Paul-Valiant theorem and recent improvements by Williams emerge naturally as specific geodesic types in this framework. The theory extends through thermodynamic principles to encompass stochastic algorithms and energy consumption, then to quantum coherence for quantum computing applications. This progression motivates living algorithms—self-monitoring systems that dynamically optimize their computational trajectories in real-time. We demonstrate applications across machine learning, quantum computing, robotics, and optimization, concluding with a comprehensive algorithm compendium that classifies computational methods by their geometric properties and resource trade-offs.

Physical Capacity Regions of Computation

Michael Rey

We establish a unified framework for understanding the fundamental physical limits of computation by developing a geometric theory of resource trade-offs. Our approach treats computation as a physical process constrained by thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and relativity, leading to a multidimensional capacity region in resource space. We prove that any algorithm achieving error ε on problem class P must satisfy joint constraints across five dimensions: space S, time T, bandwidth H, energy E, and coherence C. The capacity region is characterized by fundamental physical constants: Landauer’s principle (kBT ln 2 per bit erasure), the Margolus-Levitin quantum speed limit (2E/(π~) operations per second), the Bekenstein bound (maximum information density), and statistical sampling limits. We provide explicit constructions showing these bounds are achievable within constant factors for canonical problems including matrix multiplication, covariance estimation, and Gaussian process inference. This framework unifies classical complexity theory with quantum information and thermodynamics, providing the first general theory of multi-resource computational limits with applications to algorithm design, hardware optimization, and fundamental physics.

Title: Algorithmic Complexity of Quantum Gravity

Jincheng Zhang

Quantum gravity, a theoretical framework attempting to reconcile general relativity and quantum mechanics, presents a profound challenge to our understanding of spacetime. Accurately simulating quantum gravity calculations, particularly those involving complex spacetime geometries and quantum entanglement, demands significant computational resources. Traditional approaches often rely on approximations and heuristics, failing to fully capture the inherent complexity. This paper investigates a novel algorithmic complexity framework for quantum gravity, leveraging information theory and graph theory to quantify the computational challenges. We introduce a 'Quantum Information Landscape' – a layered representation of potential quantum states and their interactions – to provide a more precise assessment of these challenges. The proposed algorithm focuses on identifying and characterizing regions of high computational cost, ultimately informing the design of more efficient simulation techniques. This research seeks to move beyond simple complexity measures and provide a quantifiable metric, informing both theoretical advancements and practical algorithm design within the field of quantum gravity.

Volume A35: Information Geometry in Event Spaces

Radhakrishnan Jayaraman

Abstract Information Geometry provides a powerful mathematical framework that applies differential geometry to the study of probability distributions, offering profound insights into the structure, dynamics, and flow of information. This volume, the thirty-fifth in the ICQER (Informational Constraints Quantum Event Realism) series, develops a comprehensive geometric theory of event spaces by treating events as points on statistical manifolds endowed with natural information-theoretic metrics. The work establishes rigorous foundations for embedding ICQER events into statistical manifolds, where the Fisher information metric serves as a canonical Riemannian structure quantifying event distinguishability and constraint sensitivity. We demonstrate how informational constraints—arising from quantum principles, causal structures, and contextual conditions—shape manifold curvature, topology, and geodesic flows, fundamentally determining how events interact, evolve, and give rise to emergent quantum-realistic phenomena. Key contributions include: (1) a formal framework for representing events as probability distributions on curved manifolds; (2) the characterization of constraint-induced geometric deformations and their influence on event dynamics; (3) the development of divergence-based projection methods for constraint satisfaction and event filtering; (4) geometric interpretations of quantum uncertainty, contextuality, and complementarity; and (5) computational algorithms for metric computation, geodesic path finding, and event dynamics simulation. Applications span constraint evolution analysis, information flow quantification, quantum event network optimization, and geometric approaches to phenomena including superconductivity and quantum artificial intelligence. The framework provides a unified geometric language bridging quantum mechanics, information theory, and emergent realism, establishing information geometry as an essential tool for understanding the informational architecture of quantum reality. This volume contributes to the ongoing development of ICQER by providing both the mathematical infrastructure and practical computational methods necessary for analyzing complex quantum informational systems through the lens of differential geometry.

This paper explores the potential of non-Euclidean time geometry as a foundational basis for quantum computation, addressing limitations inherent in traditional Euclidean models. We propose a novel geometric framework that allows for time to be treated as a parameter, enabling the exploration of time-as-a-parameter solutions and offering a potential pathway to more efficient quantum algorithms. The core of this work involves the development of a 'non-linear' geometric structure designed to facilitate the manipulation and interpretation of time within a quantum system. The implications of this approach are significant, potentially revolutionizing the design of quantum architectures and algorithms. We will detail the mathematical foundations of this framework, outlining the key concepts and potential applications, and presenting preliminary results demonstrating the feasibility of utilizing this approach.
