Developed index — Computer science
Part hub for systems, theory, security, and learning. Long archive chapters (Unix, Cybersecurity, Architecture, …) are left structurally intact; this index supplies the field map, definitions, and paper spine.
At a glance
- Theory: computability + complexity + information.
- Systems: EE → architecture → Unix-like OS.
- Trust: cryptography + cybersecurity (threat models, zero trust).
- Learning: classical ML → LLMs; KM as organisational learning stack.

3. Developed cores (equations & claims)
3.1 Computability
Definition (decidable language). A language (L) is decidable if some Turing machine halts on every input and accepts iff the input .
Classic. Turing, A. M. (1936). On Computable Numbers… Proc. London Math. Soc.
3.2 Complexity
Definition (class P). Languages decidable in deterministic polynomial time.
Definition (class NP). Languages verifiable in deterministic polynomial time (or decided by nondeterministic poly-time TM).
Open problem. .
3.3 Information
Classic. Shannon (1948); Cover & Thomas.
3.4 Learning
Empirical risk minimization. Given sample , minimise over hypothesis class , hoping true risk (R(h)) stays close (generalization).
Deep learning practice. Overparameterised models + SGD; theory still catching up (see Neyshabur, Zhang et al. lines of work).
3.5 Transformers (LLMs)
Claim (Vaswani et al., 2017). Self-attention yields parallelisable sequence transduction without recurrence as the primary computational primitive.
Reference. Vaswani, A. et al. (2017). Attention Is All You Need. NeurIPS.
3.6 Security
Definition (threat model). Explicit adversary capabilities, assets, and success conditions.
Zero trust (NIST SP 800-207). Never trust, always verify; assume breach.
