Mitigating High-Frequency Geometric Noise in Non-Parametric 1-Bit Sparse

Energy-efficient neuromorphic computing requires alternative data-encoding paradigms that bypass power-hungry floating-point operations. This paper evaluates a deterministic, non-parametric dual-manifold execution framework that maps dense 128-element integer vectors - representing digitized multi-frequency trigonometric waveforms - into a 1024-dimensional overcomplete space using 8-bit bounded transformation matrices. By enforcing a hard activation threshold, the system yields an ultra-sparse, 1-bit binary population code where y belongs to the set (0, 1)^1024. We identify and address a critical phenotypic artifact of this non-parametric mapping: the emergence of high-frequency geometric noise during linear reconstruction. Furthermore, we document an algorithmic complexity paradox where low-complexity input functions yield significantly higher reconstruction errors than highly complex, high-degree trigonometric combinations. Because the underlying basis functions operate as purely objective mathematical entities without statistical priors regarding signal smoothness, this geometric noise is proven to be strictly orthogonal to the core signal topology. Consequently, we demonstrate that a low-overhead, hardware-level digital low-pass filter completely eliminates this artifact, reducing reconstruction errors to near-zero bounds even under tight overcompleteness constraints. This architecture validates a highly stable, multiplier-free alternative to traditional deep learning hardware for edge-AI applications, verified through comprehensive empirical evaluations across varying complexity scales and classification thresholds (tau = 10 and tau = 100).

Non-Parametric Dual-Manifold Mapping via 8-Bit Bounded Transformation Matrices: Challenging FP-centric Hardware Paradigms in Low-Energy AI

Modern deep learning hardware paradigms rely heavily on computationally expensive floating-point arithmetic (FP32, FP16, and FP8), requiring massive thermal and energetic overheads to maintain gradient-based optimization. This paper introduces a non-parametric, training-free computational framework for dual-manifold mapping that operates strictly within an 8-bit signed integer boundary and leverages simple bitwise and accumulation logic. By mapping a Spatial Manifold (N_spatial = 8192 neurons) and a Gabor-pooled Structural Manifold (N_structural = 4096 neurons) through an integer-based transformation matrix (Z-matrix), we eliminate the need for floating-point multipliers. Inference is achieved via cache-friendly pointer offsets and bitwise masks, accumulating directional sign-charges using fixed thresholds (theta_reject = 8.0, theta_cut = 2.0). Learning is executed through a localized, bounded update mechanism restricted strictly within [-127, 127], modulated by stochastic noise injection. Both architectures demonstrate extreme holographic resilience, preserving near-perfect reconstruction via a global scaling factor under 90% truncation sparsity and 20% random node destruction. By reducing core AI inference to 8-bit boundaries and boolean-like execution, this framework outlines a paradigm shift toward neuromorphic edge-computing, directly questioning the long-term necessity of dense, floating-point-centric GPU accelerators.
