| Semantic hashing | Assess | — | Hinton & Salakhutdinov — maps semantically similar documents to nearby binary-hash addresses. Proposed by Amara 8th ferry (PR #274, absorb doc not yet landed on this branch) as real technical family for the "rainbow table" intuition; not the password kind. Candidate substrate for the provenance-aware-bullshit-detector research doc. Planned absorb path: `docs/aurora/2026-04-23-amara-physics-analogies-semantic-indexing-cutting-edge-gaps-8th-ferry.md`. |
| Locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) | Assess | — | Charikar — formal collision framework where similarity drives hash agreement. Sibling to semantic hashing; complementary mechanism. Proposed by Amara 8th ferry for the semantic-canonicalization research doc spine. |
| HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World) | Assess | — | Graph-based approximate nearest-neighbour index with logarithmic scaling + strong empirical performance. Candidate retrieval structure for the provenance-aware-bullshit-detector if a prototype lands. Proposed by Amara 8th ferry; `Trial` promotion contingent on prototype evidence. |
| Product quantization | Assess | — | Compressed vector search at scale; memory-efficient large corpora. Optional compression layer under HNSW / ANN retrieval. Proposed by Amara 8th ferry. |
| Quantum illumination (low-SNR sensing theory) | Assess | — | Lloyd 2008 + Tan et al. Gaussian-state 6 dB error-exponent advantage. Importable as **analogy for low-SNR software detection with retained-reference-path**, NOT as operational quantum-radar capability. 2024 engineering review (Amara 8th ferry) caps microwave QR range at <1 km typical — **Hold for long-range product claims**. Composes with SD-9 carrier-aware framing. See `docs/aurora/2026-04-23-amara-physics-analogies-semantic-indexing-cutting-edge-gaps-8th-ferry.md` §Quantum-radar-analogy-boundaries. |
