Shunyaya Symbolic Mathematical Hardware – Audience & Guardrails (0G, 0H)

0G — Who should read this

  • System architects. Deterministic, bounded confidence alongside existing arithmetic with phi((m,a)) = m.
  • Domain engineers. Automotive, energy, telecom, analytics, finance, robotics, healthcare—operational gains without rewriting classical code.
  • Silicon/FPGA teams. Tiny, verifiable arithmetic extension; clear bring-up vectors and fixed knobs for reproducible RTL parity.

0H — Guardrails and responsible use

  • Observation-first. Act on m; use a for bands, dashboards, QA, and advisory scheduling until a safety case is proven.
  • Clamp always. Apply a := clamp(a, -1+eps_a, +1-eps_a) before any atanh; re-clamp on publish.
  • Determinism. Fix and record knobs (eps_a, eps_w, gamma, division_policy, band thresholds); identical knobs ⇒ identical replays.
  • Policy transparency. Declare bands (A++…A–), weights, and division policy explicitly in manifests/headers.
  • Reproducibility. Ship tiny calculator tests and tolerances; verify order-invariance via the U/W rule.
  • Caution. Research/observation only; not for operational or safety-critical use.
