E8‑φ Harmonic Error‑Correcting Manifold — E8 Intelligence Research
Andrew Stewart Caldin
Abstract
The 240 root vectors of the E8 lattice can be encoded as phase‑modulated harmonics at the 132 Hz base frequency scaled by the golden ratio φ, producing a closed set of orthogonal operators. This encoding yields a self‑correcting quantum error‑protecting manifold whose spectral gap is proportional to φ, suppressing leakage into non‑logical states. Consequently, qubits embedded in this manifold exhibit exponential coherence time improvement without ancillary qubits. Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
