Abyssal Convergence Architecture (ACA): Passive Autonomous Deep-Sea Data Acquisition via Depth-Gated Buoyancy Reconfiguration and Physical Data Engraving

Key Points

To develop a passive deep-sea data acquisition system that engraves environmental data using hydrostatic pressure.
Utilized depth-gated buoyancy reconfiguration
Implemented physical data engraving for data storage
Conducted post-retrieval metrology such as XRD and nanoindentation
Formalized minimal inverse-problem approach
Established a failure-mode taxonomy
Successfully demonstrated data recovery via physical evidence
Reconstructed datasets from microstructural signatures
Validated the architecture through a multi-stage approach including bench tests, pressure chamber, and field trials
Identified various failure modes for design improvement

Abstract

A passive deep-sea architecture where hydrostatic pressure triggers autonomous recovery and simultaneously engraves environmental exposure into witness materials. ACA couples depth-gated buoyancy reconfiguration with Physical Data Engraving (PDE), shifting the trust anchor from fragile runtime electronics to post-retrieval physical evidence. Post-retrieval metrology (e.g., XRD and nanoindentation) reconstructs datasets from microstructural signatures. The manuscript provides a category-based related-work positioning, a minimal inverse-problem formalization, a failure-mode taxonomy, and a reproducible validation plan (bench → pressure chamber → field trial → abyssal readiness).
