Modern computing faces two converging physical crises. The von Neumann bottleneck—the energy cost of moving data between processor and memory—consumes approximately 80% of the power dissipated by state-of-art AI accelerators. The interconnect thermal wall—resistive heating in copper wires approaching their electromigration limit— constrains the density of computation that can be packed onto a single die. Spin-orbit torque (SOT) devices and topological edge states address each crisis, respectively. Both require the same precondition: a defect-free crystalline platform on silicon with dislocation density nd ≤ 108 cm−2. The Angelica series [1–3] has already built this platform. Project Ouroboros is its consequence. We demonstrate two directions that emerge naturally from the same Alchemy B (Eu,Pr,Y)2O3 foundation. Direction A (E-controls-M): the Angie’s Grading strain field enhances Rashba spin-orbit coupling (BirPikus model, 1.4× conservative; 2.4× optimistic), enabling voltage-driven magnetisation switching at Esw = 5.1 × 10−16J with zero Joule heating at the storage site. Direction B (M-controls-E): Fe3GaTe2 (TC ≈ 350K), transferred via van der Waals assembly through monolayerh-BN (exchange survival 80%), imposes magnetic proximity on the GaN 2DEG, inducing topological edge states with ballistic conductance G = e2/h immune to backscat tering. These directions are not independent applications. They are two faces of a single closed loop: strain generates Rashba (geometry→E); Rashba drives SOT switching (E→M); magnetic proximity controls edge conductance (M→E). The serpent consumes its own tail.
