Volume 1 — Trace Numbers and Structural Arithmetic

Building Arithmetic from Golden-Base Binary Traces​

This volume develops number theory and arithmetic operations entirely from φ-constrained traces. Using Zeckendorf decomposition and Fibonacci components, we construct a complete arithmetic system where no consecutive 11s ever appear.
