Optical CPU Unified Architecture Minimal — 7-Segment Optical Storage Specification

Key Points

The aim is to define a standard format for optical storage in CPU architecture that supports multiple modes.
Established a unified 7-segment optical storage format with two operational modes: compatibility and optical.
Designed mode detection mechanisms, including CPU configuration and ASCII markers for mode identification.
Ensured the specification addresses backward compatibility and robustness against data corruption.
Defined a reliable method for detecting modes without user intervention.
Established a format that allows for international usability and future extensibility in optical operations.

Abstract

This document defines a unified 7-segment optical storage format for the optical CPUarchitecture. The format supports two modes: a compatibility mode (MODE=0) using3-bit integers (0 ‒ 7), and an optical mode (MODE=1) using a 7-segment representationthat encodes RGB base paths and interference states. Mode detection is triple-safe, relyingon CPU startup configuration, an ASCII mode marker (‘‘ or ‘‘), and automaticinference from the stored data. The specification ensures backward compatibility, robustnessagainst partial corruption, international usability, and future extensibility towardadditional optical modes.
