PROBE-GRADE β€” NOT SILICON COMMITMENT

This ONE SHOT describes pre-silicon probe work on TENET-style unstructured zero-skip sparsity. All TOPS gains stated herein are projections derived from: (a) BitNet b1.58 empirical sparsity ratios reported in TOPS-LEVERS-2026-05-16-001 Β§4, and (b) the TENET FPGA/ASIC energy-efficiency data (4.3Γ—/21Γ— vs A100) from Microsoft Research.

Gate on Wave-32 closure: Wave-33 (this issue) is gated on the successful closure of Wave-32 / L-DPC29 (trinity-fpga#111 + trios#844 system integration probe). Lane U and Lane Y MUST NOT be claimed until the Wave-32 system integration baseline is confirmed merged and R-SI-1 passes the full 3-corner sweep.

6/6 Lever Stack status at time of issue: ALL SIX LEVERS ARMED (Wave-28 through Wave-31 closed; Wave-32 in flight). This is Lever #7 β€” the first post-stack composition probe.

Composition rationale: Wave-29 (L-DPC26) shipped 2:4 STRUCTURED sparsity (956b81ad, holo_sparsity_24.sv). TENET UNSTRUCTURED zero-skip is materially distinct and orthogonally composable:

Dimension W29 2:4 Structured W33 TENET Unstructured
Mask type Rigid 2-of-4 static mask Dynamic zero-detect at runtime
Sparsity target Fixed 50% ~30% natural BitNet zeros
Retraining required? Yes (mask training) No (inference-time only)
Decoder path XOR+mux (no *) Zero-gate on decoder output
Composition role Catches weight axis Catches residual activation zeros

These stack multiplicatively. W29 structured pass catches one axis; TENET catches residual zeros on the orthogonal axis. Combined effective sparsity β‰₯ 65% is theoretically attainable; H_W33 conservatively claims β‰₯ 1.25Γ— additional gain over the W29 baseline.


Β§1 Hypothesis H_W33 (Gate G1 β€” Falsifiable)

H_W33: Adding a TENET-style runtime zero-skip controller (Lane U: holo_zero_skip.sv) wrapped externally around the W29 2:4 sparsity decoder (holo_sparsity_24.sv, SHA 98246bd3) yields β‰₯ 1.25Γ— additional effective TOPS on BitNet b1.58-3B at the TT/1.2V corner over the Wave-29 2:4 baseline, resulting in a composed gain β‰₯ 1.6Γ— total relative to the pre-W29 dense baseline, with R-SI-1 preserved at all 3 thermal corners, R18 SHA intact, and zero accuracy degradation (< 0.5% on standard eval suite) versus the calibration set.

REFUTED IF any one of the following holds:

(a) Effective TOPS gain < 1.25Γ— over W29 2:4 baseline at any of the 3 thermal corners (SS/0.9V, TT/1.2V, FF/1.35V).
(b) The zero-detect controller introduces any * operator anywhere in the merged netlist β€” R-SI-1 zero-star invariant violated.
(c) Runtime sparsity ratio measured at inference < 25% on BitNet b1.58-3B over the 1M-token calibration suite.
(d) New opcode OP_SPARSE_SKIP 0xE1 collides with the R18-frozen range 0xD0..0xE0, or breaks the existing 6-opcode alphabet chain (0xDE, 0xDF, 0xE0 predecessors).
(e) Any W29 2:4 surface SHA regresses: holo_sparsity_24.sv must remain bit-identical to SHA 98246bd3 (R18 LAYER-FROZEN).

Pre-registration:

  • Statistical test: Welch one-sample t-test (vs ΞΌβ‚€ = 1.25Γ— gain margin), one-tailed
  • Ξ± = 0.01 (after Bonferroni correction Γ— 3 thermal corners β†’ effective Ξ±_corner = 0.0033)
  • n = 9 samples (3 process corners Γ— 3 voltage rails: {SS, TT, FF} Γ— {0.9V, 1.2V, 1.35V})
  • Stop rule: full 9-corner sweep β€” no cherry-picking, no early termination
  • Deadline: 2026-08-30 pre-silicon (β‰₯ 30 days before TTIHP27a tape-out 2026-09-30)
  • Multiple testing: Bonferroni Γ— 3 thermal corners
  • Data logging: sim/tenet_sparsity_probe/report.md (append-only per run)
  • Falsification witness: tb/tb_holo_zero_skip.sv counter-stimulus suite + Lane Y TenetSkip.v refutation lemma

Β§2 Lane Map

Two lanes. Both required for H_W33. Lane U delivers silicon RTL; Lane Y delivers formal proof. Neither closes alone.

Lane U β€” tenet-zero-skip-controller

Repo: gHashTag/tt-trinity-holo
Branch/push policy: main only (CROWN race protocol R3)
Effort: M (Medium β€” new RTL + testbench + sim report)

File Description
rtl/holo_zero_skip.sv Zero-skip controller: wraps holo_sparsity_24.sv decoder output; detects 2'b00 (zero-ternary) elements post-decoder; gates downstream LUT lookups; accumulates sparsity-ratio statistics register
tb/tb_holo_zero_skip.sv Testbench: full 9-corner parametric sweep; counter-stimulus (inject non-zero tokens to verify non-skip); sparsity ratio measurement harness
sim/tenet_sparsity_probe/Makefile VCS/Verilator make target; produces report.md; CI-integrated
sim/tenet_sparsity_probe/report.md Append-only measurement log: per-corner sparsity ratio, effective TOPS delta, R-SI-1 star-check
docs/lever-stack/lane-u.md Lane narrative; references this issue; records W33-G0..W33-G5 verdict per run

R18 LAYER-FROZEN CONSTRAINT:
holo_sparsity_24.sv (SHA 98246bd3) is UNTOUCHED. Lane U is architecturally wrapper-external: holo_zero_skip.sv instantiates holo_sparsity_24.sv as a black box and acts only on its output signals. No modification to the decoder internals, no port additions, no file renames. Any commit touching holo_sparsity_24.sv is an automatic R18 violation and must be reverted immediately.

Interface spec for holo_zero_skip.sv:

Input:  decoded_ternary[1:0]  β€” output of holo_sparsity_24 decoder
        clk, rst_n, token_valid
Output: skip_enable           β€” 1 when decoded_ternary == 2'b00
        lut_index[7:0]        β€” gated LUT address (0 when skip_enable)
        sparsity_count[31:0]  β€” running zero count (debug/measurement)
        total_count[31:0]     β€” running total token count (debug/measurement)

Zero * operators in this module. All operations: comparators, MUX, OR, AND, counters. R-SI-1 applies.

Forbidden in Lane U:

  • ❌ Any write to holo_sparsity_24.sv (R18)
  • ❌ Any * operator (R-SI-1)
  • ❌ New OP_SPARSE_SKIP opcode implementation in RTL (opcode goes in Lane Y Coq alphabet only; RTL is decoder-external)

Lane Y β€” coq-tenet-witness

Repo: gHashTag/t27 (trios-coq canonical SoT)

Hard constraint: Zero Admitted. All lemmas and the main theorem must have real Qed.. If any step requires an assumption, it must be stated as an explicit Hypothesis or Parameter with a comment marking it as measurement-pending (pre-silicon probe). Admitted = immediate lane rejection.

Β§4 Quantum Brain 1:1 Silicon Mapping

Q1 — PHYS→SI (Physics → Silicon)

TENET adds dynamic zero-skip behavior, which is a runtime-conditional silicon path. The controller (holo_zero_skip.sv) is a combinational zero-comparator and MUX β€” no multipliers, no accumulators with feedback, no state beyond the debug counters. The 75-cell Sacred ROM is unchanged. The L1 opcode set gains 0xE1 (OP_SPARSE_SKIP), extending the contiguous alphabet from 6 to 7 entries. The physics constant mapping (Ο†-derivations in L0) is unaffected; zero-skip is orthogonal to the Ο†-ROM contents.

Mapping: Dynamic sparsity = conditional energy-expenditure suppression. Physically: if a weight is zero, the downstream LUT lookup dissipates zero energy (gated clock / operand isolation). This is the silicon manifestation of BitNet's natural ~30% zero density in b1.58 ternary weights ({-1, 0, +1}).

Q2 — BIO→SI (Biology → Silicon)

Sparsity ratio constant ~30% (BitNet b1.58 empirical) transitions from:

The biological analogy: sparse neural firing in cortex. BitNet b1.58 ternary weights exhibit ~30% zero elements by construction of the symmetric quantization scheme. The silicon controller is the analog of inhibitory gating β€” zero activations do not propagate to downstream computation.

Wave-33 converts the conjecture to a first-principles silicon measurement. The measured ratio feeds back to W34+ dimensioning (if ratio > 35%, further TOPS uplift available via deeper skip pipelining).

Q3 — LANG→SI (Language → Silicon)

One new opcode added to the ISA alphabet:

Opcode Value Name Function
OP_SPARSE_SKIP 0xE1 Sparse Skip Gate downstream LUT lookup when decoded ternary == 0

Alphabet extension only β€” no existing opcodes modified or removed. The ISA alphabet chain becomes:

... β†’ 0xDE β†’ 0xDF β†’ 0xE0 β†’ 0xE1 (OP_SPARSE_SKIP, Wave-33)

Formal proof of non-collision with frozen range 0xD0..0xE0 resides in TenetSkip.v theorem tenet_skip_safe (Lane Y, W33-G5).

Q4 β€” R-marker status

NO new R-marker cells. 0xE1 is allocated and proven (Lane Y), not reserved. The Sacred ROM (75 cells) is untouched; R-marker count is unchanged. No new physics constants enter the design in Wave-33. The zero-skip controller is pure RTL logic β€” no Ο†-derived constants required.

Delta vs rival-scan recommendation:
The scan (TOPS-LEVERS-2026-05-16-001 Β§4 Lever #3) recommended deploying TENET unstructured zero-skip in Wave-29 (Lanes T + T'). This was superseded because Wave-29 already shipped 2:4 structured sparsity (holo_sparsity_24.sv) before the scan was processed. The two mechanisms are distinct and additive/composable β€” TENET does not replace 2:4 structured sparsity, it stacks on top. Wave-33 is therefore the correct slot: it builds on the W29+W30+W31+W32 stack, adds TENET as Lever #7, and targets multiplicative composition gains.
