φCoherent Inc.

Designs grounded in φCoherent mathematics.

We build quantum computing systems, AGI architectures, compression codecs, and cryptographic protocols — all derived from a single mathematical identity. Zero free parameters. Every system composes.

Pre-Seed Round  ·  2026

The Foundation
One identity.

Every system we build derives from it.

Zero free parameters.
When every constant, every dimension, every transform is constrained by a single mathematical identity, systems stop fighting themselves. They compose.

What We Build

Four disciplines.
One foundation.

Pillar I

Compression

A complete audio · image · video codec family. Lossless by default, deterministic across architectures. Already outperforms FLAC on all lossless metrics. Core to the AGI sensory pipeline.

Pillar II

Cryptography

A post-quantum cryptographic standard and φCurrency protocol. Hash-based throughout — no algebraic hardness assumptions. Quantum-resistant by construction, not by patch.

Pillar III

Quantum Computing

Production-grade quantum simulation and a novel family of quantum error correction codes. Benchmarked against published noise specifications for 5 devices: IBM Heron R2, IBM Eagle R3, Google Willow, IonQ Forte, and Quantinuum H2.

Pillar IV

Artificial General Intelligence

A multi-sensory, multi-cognitive architecture derived entirely from first principles. Zero free parameters. Every instance born with a cryptographic quantum-resistant identity.

Pillar I  ·  Compression

A complete codec family.
Built to last.

Audio Lossless: beats FLAC in compression ratio, encode speed, and decode speed across all tested material. Lossy levels in active development. Complete
Image 21×34 golden-rectangle block geometry. Lossless by default. Cross-architecture byte-identical output. Full test coverage 1×1 to 2048×2048. Complete
Video φCoherent GOP (21 frames), golden-angle spiral motion estimation, φInterpolated sub-pixel compensation. Round-trip deterministic. Complete
Base Lossless general-purpose codec. Beats zlib on all RPC payload classes. Blockchain-deterministic. ~45% bandwidth reduction on crypto sync traffic. Complete
Why codecs are central: They are the sensory pipeline for the AGI architecture. Completion of the audio and video codecs directly enables the full HEAR and SEE perceptual front-end — gating the integrated φAGI deployment.
Pillar II  ·  Cryptography

Post-quantum by construction,
not by patch.

0
Algebraic hardness assumptions
No lattice problems. No elliptic curves. No factoring. Security rests on hash collision resistance alone.
φCrypt
Unified cryptographic standard
A single coherent primitive family covering signing, key exchange, and authenticated encryption. Derived, not assembled.
Drop-in
OpenSSL provider
A native φCrypt provider for OpenSSL. Existing applications gain post-quantum cryptography without code changes.
Native
Ecosystem-wide adoption
φQuic · φNet · φRPC · φSQLVFS · φAGI · React Native — every layer of the stack implements φCrypt natively, from transport to storage to identity to mobile.
Hash-based signatures OpenSSL provider φQuic · φNet · φRPC · φSQLVFS · φAGI · React Native Quantum-resistant by construction No algebraic assumptions AGPL + commercial license
Pillar III  ·  Quantum Computing

Error correction
that wins where
surface codes fail.

p > 1%
Functional above the surface-code threshold
Surface codes fail above ~1% physical error rate — logical error rate rises toward 50%. N-nacci multi-stratum codes remain operational at p = 30%, achieving p_L ≈ 0.087 with 4 strata (30,000 trajectories, Wilson CI-separated).
≤ 1.6 mHa
VQE chemical accuracy on H₂
UCCSD ansatz, noise-free lower bound. LiH error: 0.034 mHa vs FCI reference (−7.8825 Ha).
5
Published hardware noise models
IBM Heron R2 · IBM Eagle R3 · Google Willow · IonQ Forte · Quantinuum H2. Published Pauli noise parameters — not real-device measurements.
78
Passing tests, fully reproducible
Snapshot-pinned results with Wilson 95% CI. Regenerated from source in minutes. Cross-validated against Stim v1.14.0.
94×
Lower logical error rate at matched qubit budget — 2D ensemble result
At 530 physical qubits, a 4-level multi-stratum surface code ensemble achieves 94× lower logical error rate than the best single surface code fitting the same budget (d ≤ 16, 511 qubits) at p = 0.001. Full 2D stabilizer simulation under circuit-level depolarizing noise — no analytical shortcuts. 15,000 trajectories per configuration.
