A New Post Quantum Cryptography Standard (Verification, etc. Included)(gnu.org)

Abstract This manuscript develops a unified algebraic, computational, and physical framework for rep-resenting, certifying, and exploiting structured partitions of high- dimensional spaces. Serving as the operational initialization for the categorical classification of non-associative gauge vacua, this work translates determinantal sheaf theory and functorial doubling into exact, machine-verifiable algorithms. The text begins with fully certified octonion (k = 3) and sedenion (k = 4) case studies,followed by applied treatments of determinantal geometry, canonicalization via Luna slices, spectralmass gap diagnostics, and exact topological transport. It concludes with the formal specification of a minimal reproducible artifact bundle, establishing the exact computational standards required for independent verification.
