The Geometry of Admissible Computation: A Unified Thermodynamic Framework

Abstract This dataset contains the theoretical proofs and experimental verification for the Inverse Scaling Law (ISL). We propose that thermodynamic constraints impose a hard physical barrier on non-modular computation. Included Materials: ISL_Framework_Paper.pdf: Unified theoretical paper (Typeset). supplementary_proofs/: Detailed Theorem Proofs (PDFs). Theorem_01_Modularity.pdf Theorem_04_Reuse.pdf Theorem_07_Scope.pdf code/kill_switch_experiment.py: Source code for the generalization gap experiment. figures/: High-resolution verification plots. Key Results: Experimental validation confirmed a 38x efficiency gap between modular and monolithic architectures in data-starved regimes, supporting the Information Reuse Bound ($T \propto 1/R$).
