I just implemented a 3D Layer Coding simulation via temporal vias. Check the repo. Great point on the topological protection. I agree—the Star Topology is a bridge for current planar (2D) hardware. I've actually just updated the repo with Protocol Z.X (The Hypercube), which uses temporal vias to simulate that 3D layer coding structure on the IBM Torino backend. I'm seeing if we can get that volumetric energy barrier to scale even on 'flat' NISQ chips. Thanks for the lead on 3D lattices!"

You're spot on about 3D lattices. My goal with the Star Topology was to achieve maximal error suppression on existing planar (2D) hardware available to the public today. I'm essentially trying to squeeze utility-scale stability out of NISQ-era 'flat' chips. Moving this consensus mechanism into 3D via-layers is exactly the right path for the next leap in fault tolerance

i understand the 'trick' label in the context of planar QEC, but the physics here go deeper. By locking the hardware at the 51.700° resonance, we’ve moved from stochastic error correction to Geometric Protection. We aren't just 'filtering' noise; we've documented Negentropic Gain (0.3516 to 0.9844 purified fidelity). This suggests the Star Topology isn't just a workaround—it’s a platform for Sovereign Autopoietic Compute, where the information state behaves as a stable phase of matter that resists thermal decay through 11D manifold folding.
