Scalability Recommendations
- Expand categories to 15-20 technical domains
- Increase vector dimensions to 8-10
- Implement 8-decimal precision arithmetic
- Feasibility: High, minimal computational overhead
Medium-term (10 → 12 digits)
- Add 30-50 technical categories
- Implement hierarchical categorization
- Use sparse matrix representations
- Feasibility: Moderate, requires optimization
Long-term (12 → 15 digits)
- Implement distributed computing
- Use arbitrary precision arithmetic libraries
- Apply dimensionality reduction techniques
- Feasibility: Low, significant complexity
Implementation Strategies
For Higher Precision
from decimal import Decimal, getcontext
getcontext().prec = 28 # 28 decimal places
For Large Systems
import scipy.sparse as sp
# Use sparse matrices for large interaction matrices
interaction_matrix = sp.csr_matrix(dense_matrix)
For Scalability
# Hierarchical categorization
class HierarchicalCategory:
def __init__(self, parent=None, children=None):
self.parent = parent
self.children = children or []
Conclusion
The Compact Evolution Resource Principles system currently operates with 8-digit precision and can practically scale to 15 digits (2.38x growth factor) before hitting fundamental limitations. The key constraining factor is floating-point precision and computational complexity rather than storage or algorithmic limits.
Growth Path: 8 digits → 10 digits (easy) → 12 digits (moderate) → 15 digits (challenging)
Recommended Maximum: 10-12 digits for practical systems balancing precision and performance.
