Recursive bit-plane decomposition of arbitrary byte data. Session reports, technical deep-dives, and benchmark results.
Sweep all 8 bit positions across the full stream. Find the sparsest bit plane.
Extract the plane as a flag set. Seven codecs race — shortest encoding wins.
Clear the bit, remap to a halved symbol alphabet, recurse on the aligned stream.
Halt conditions fire when continuing costs more than stopping. At depth 8, halt is proven — not parameterized. v15 adds HALT_ANS_STRIDE for early value-correlation capture.
Each session documents an incremental iteration on the AIM framework — algorithm, wire format, and benchmark results.
Standalone deep-dives into specific subsystems — pipeline analysis, experimental results, performance investigations, and design documents.
