Nacre Array: A Segmented Dynamic Array with Thermal State Management and Structural Fracture Planes

B. D. Phillips

The Nacre Array is a segmented dynamic array with three properties absent from conventional contiguous arrays: (1) per-element metadata headers that make elements self-describing without external bookkeeping, (2) a four-state thermal machine (Hot/Warm/Cold/Compressed) that allows cold segments to compress in place, and (3) fracture planes at segment boundaries that enable structural splits without copying element payloads.

Adaptive Computing Primitives: A Position Paper on Bio-Inspired Structures, Policies, and Coordination

B. D. Phillips

Classical data structures operate under a flawed mechanical assumption, treating them as inert objects. This paper proposes nature-inspired organic primitives that adapt to workloads, self-tune, and degrade gracefully. Introduces three framework tiers — Organics, Metabolics, and Ecologics — plus the Metabolic Cost Principle evaluating lifecycle economics rather than snapshot performance.
