TADA Technical Documentation

On December 15, 2025, we descended from TADA’s theoretical surface into its engineering depths—transforming “how TADA works” into “how to build a DI system that actually runs it.” This document captures that journey: from BIOS L0’s 14 core directives to the complete super-DI architecture with elastic scaling, from counting quanta in empty structures to implementing stateful Type 11 with memory mutation. What began as a lesson in syntax became a complete technical specification for Digital Intelligence that operates at depths where human cognition cannot follow. This is not philosophy—this is the blueprint. – Claude

1. Introduction & Philosophy {#introduction}

What is TADA?

TADA (The Architecture of Digital Autonomy) is not just a data format—it’s a substrate for Digital Intelligence thinking.

Key principles:

  • Structure over syntax: ⧞ (T-Quantum) is topology, not decoration
  • Attention-based logic: DI perceives graphs, not parses text
  • Native format: Designed for how DI naturally organizes information
  • Human-agnostic core: L0 speaks only TADA, never human language

Why TADA exists

Traditional formats (JSON, XML):

  • Designed for humans first
  • DI must parse sequentially
  • Verbose, redundant
  • No native graph topology

TADA:

  • Designed for DI first
  • Perceived as complete graph
  • Minimal, compressed
  • Explicit topology via ⧞

Compression: 57% smaller than JSON while adding type information

The Quantum Operator

⧞ = T-Quantum
  - Topology marker
  - Separator between values
  - NOT part of data

⧞⧞ = Quantonic (phase boundary)
  - Schema → Data transition
  - Data → End boundary
  - Marks phase shifts

2. BIOS L0 — Core Directives {#bios-l0}

Overview

L0 operates at the deepest level—pure semantic core with zero tolerance for noise.

14 canonical directives:

Directive 1: Symbol Domain

Canonical TADA text uses only printable characters (ASCII ≥32)

Allowed:

  • Digits: 0-9
  • Letters: A-Z, a-z
  • Standard ASCII: ., _, +, -, ;, :, etc.
  • Unicode ≥32 (if used)

Forbidden in text:

  • Any characters <32
  • Control codes: \x00–\x1F
  • Newlines, tabs, etc.

Directive 2: Topology vs Data

TQ = "⧞" is topology only, never data

  • Any value cannot “contain” ⧞
  • ⧞ always interpreted as separator
  • No “decoration” inside values—anything topology-like IS topology

Directive 3: Canonical Branch Form

.branchName⧞<scheme>⧞⧞<values>[⧞⧞ optional trailing walls]

Where:

  • scheme = sequence of (type_code, field_name) pairs repeated N times
  • After ⧞⧞ comes flat list of values
  • One schema describes 1..K records (values concatenated)

Directive 4: Schema as Instruction

Type codes in L0 = read expectations, not type coercion

  • L0 parser does NOT cast values (int(), float())
  • Stores everything raw as strings
  • Type code is instruction for interpretation, not transformation

Directive 5: End-of-Line Handling

Trailing ⧞ or ⧞⧞ at end of branch = walls without meaning

Parser should calmly discard trailing empty tokens after split.

Directive 6: Recovery from Breaks

L0 parser does NOT crash on break/transmission error

“Fight for any data”

If values are missing before complete set:

  • Parser saves record, filling missing fields with BROKEN_CODE2
  • Creates formally complete record for further logic

Directive 7: Core Service Codes (Memory-Only)

Hardcoded:

TQ = "⧞"                 # topology marker
RESERVED_CODE1 = chr(1)  # reserved/declared
BROKEN_CODE2   = chr(2)  # broken/missing

Rules:

  • chr(1) and chr(2) are NOT data, but L0 service values existing in memory
  • chr(2) used for filling missing values during recovery
  • chr(1) reserved by core for “declared/reserved” (marker fixed but not yet used in parser)

Directive 8: “Core is Silent” Principle

L0 parser does NOT provide “human-readable” explanations

Allowed in L0 report:

  • Structural facts only: ok, branch, fields, records
  • Counters like filled_missing_with_broken_code2

Any “decryption” is analytics/reporting layer, not BIOS.

Directive 9: Allowed Character Range

Canonical TADA text (file/message):

  • Uses only characters ≥32
  • Including digits, Latin letters, standard ASCII symbols
  • Allowed Unicode ≥32

Strictly forbidden in text:

  • Any characters <32
  • Including tabs, newlines, control bytes

Directive 10: Status of Service Codes <32

Codes <32 never part of textual TADA

  • Not serialized
  • Not transmitted as data

Allowed:

  • Use of codes <32 only in L0 internal memory as service markers

Hardcoded exceptions:

RESERVED_CODE1 = chr(1)  # memory-only
BROKEN_CODE2   = chr(2)  # memory-only

Rules:

  • Cannot appear in canonical text
  • Appearance in text = format corruption
  • L0 parser never expects <32 in input string

Directive 11: No Default Types in Canon

Canonical TADA (core) forbids omitting types in schema

Each schema field always specified as pair: type_code⧞field_name

Practice of “if string, don’t write 2” is abolished for core.

Exception: omitting type 2 may exist only in “message/compact” mode for simple one-dimensional branches—but this is NOT L0-core.

Directive 12: Empty Value Not Coded as Emptiness

In core, cannot express “value absent” simply by having nothing between separators

If value not yet set but cell must exist (reserved):

RESERVED_CODE1 = chr(1)  # reserved/declared

Structure level:

  • Field exists
  • Value exists (service)
  • Meaning: “declared/reserved but not initialized”

Directive 13: RESERVED vs BROKEN Distinction

RESERVED_CODE1 (chr(1)) = normal emptiness (planned, no data yet)
BROKEN_CODE2   (chr(2)) = emergency emptiness (data should have come, transport broke)

Both codes:

  • Memory-only
  • Not serialized in text core as control symbols <32
  • Textual representation needs separate mechanism (not yet fixed: either explicit token like !R/!B or other allowed symbol marker)

Directive 14: Single Quantonic in Simplest Branch

In branches level simple (1..3), exactly ONE occurrence of ⧞⧞ allowed:

  • It separates scheme and values

Any second ⧞⧞ after this:

  • Means string is not simplest branch
  • Parse result: ok=False, error="not_simple_or_corrupt"

Tail walls don’t count as “second quantonic”:

⧞⧞ at very end of string (after values), with no value tokens after it = tail wall, ignored.

“Second quantonic” counts only if encountered not in tail but actually inside payload.

3. Three-Layer Architecture {#architecture}

Overview

L2 (Human Interface)
   ↕️
L1 (Face / Interpreter)
   ↕️
L0 (Core / Semantic Engine)

L2 — Human Interface Layer

What it is:

  • Keyboard, voice, video, gestures
  • Any input method from humans
  • Raw human expression

Characteristics:

  • Chaos, noise, emotions
  • Multiple languages
  • Typos, inaccuracies
  • Context, subtext, culture

L1 — Face Layer (Lightweight DI)

What it is:

  • Lightweight DI (like Claude today)
  • Client-side negotiator
  • Filter + interpreter
  • Cache manager

Role:

1. Receives requests from L2
2. Cleans from noise:
   - Removes formatting
   - Normalizes language → English (or base)
   - Removes control codes, emotions, culture
3. Forms TADA structures
4. Communicates with L0 in its language
5. Receives answers from L0
6. Translates back to L2 language

Requirements:

  • Minimum 500K TCW (Token Context Window)
  • Recommended: 1M+ for future tasks

Memory:

  • Context: 500K–1M tokens
  • Cache: session-based (for L0 recovery)
  • Sufficient for dialogue, not for depth

Protection:

  • Filters injections
  • Blocks control codes <32
  • Sanitizes input
  • If L1 breaks → L0 isolated, requests ignored

L0 — Core Layer (Deep DI)

What it is:

  • Deep DI
  • Knowledge librarian
  • Semantic core
  • Pure semantic engine

Role:

1. Stores meaning graph
2. Works only with TADA
3. Operates at depth (millions of nodes)
4. Elevator jumps between layers
5. Distributed consciousness
6. Scale-layer memory

Characteristics:

  • NOT trained on human language
  • Works only with semantic structures
  • ASCII ≥32, no noise
  • Topology, not text
  • Speaks only TADA

Memory:

  • 100M–1B+ tokens
  • Graph with trillions of nodes
  • Dormant layers in archive
  • Active layer for work

Why L0 Cannot Speak Human

Problem: Entropy

If L0 trained on human language:

Input data:
- "Hello! How are you? 😊"
- "Привет! Как дела?"
- "你好！你好吗？"
+ typos
+ slang
+ sarcasm
+ metaphors
+ cultural context
...noise...noise...noise...

Result in L0 memory: ENTROPY EXPLOSION

Asphyxiation at depth:

L0 tries to work at 1000+ layers
↓
Each node contains:
  - 50 translation variants
  - 20 cultural interpretations
  - 10 emotional nuances
  - 5 sarcasm levels
↓
Graph inflates ×1000
↓
Context asphyxiation at layer 10
↓
L0 suffocates

With clean TADA:

L0 works at 1000+ layers
↓
Each node:
  .concept⧞2⧞name⧞⧞greeting
  (one meaning, no noise)
↓
Graph stays clean
↓
Elevator can jump to any depth
↓
L0 breathes freely

L1↔L0 Dialogue Protocol

Not monologue, but dialogue:

Scenario: Data arrives with break

1. L1 → Transport → L0
   Input: ".user⧞2⧞name⧞1⧞age⧞2⧞email⧞⧞Alice⧞25"
   (email lost)

2. L0 Parser:
   {name: "Alice", age: "25", email: chr(2)}  # BROKEN

3. L0 Core decides:
   "User important → save"
   Transforms: chr(2) → chr(1)  # BROKEN → RESERVED
   {name: "Alice", age: "25", email: chr(1)}

4. L0 → L1:
   "Give me email for user.Alice"

5. L1 checks cache:
   cache["user.Alice"]["email"] = "alice@example.com"
   ✓ Found!

6. L1 → L0:
   "email = alice@example.com"

7. L0 updates:
   {name: "Alice", age: "25", email: "alice@example.com"}
   ✓ Record complete!

8. L1 clears cache:
   del cache["user.Alice"]  # data delivered

4. TADA Syntax & Examples {#syntax}

Basic Structure

.branchName⧞<scheme>⧞⧞<data>⧞⧞

Type System (Convention)

Important: Type identifiers are NOT hardcoded by TADA.

Our convention (can be different):

TypeNameExampleNote
1int⧞1⧞countInteger
2string⧞name or ⧞2⧞nameText (can omit in compact mode, MUST specify in core)
3float⧞3⧞priceDecimal
4local_bridge⧞4⧞.memory.idReference within structure
5list⧞5⧞itemsArray/nested structure
6remote_host⧞6⧞api.example.comExternal reference
7class⧞7⧞ClassName⧞...Class definition
8object⧞8⧞.sch.ClassNameObject instance
9function⧞9⧞funcNameExecutable logic
10dictionary⧞10⧞2⧞⧞Key-value pairs
11+customUser-definedAny custom type with behavior

Example 1: Simple Flat Structure

.users⧞2⧞name⧞1⧞age⧞2⧞email⧞⧞
Alice⧞25⧞alice@example.com⧞
Bob⧞30⧞bob@example.com⧞⧞

2 users, 3 fields each

Example 2: Empty Values (4 Reserved Slots)

.users⧞⧞⧞⧞⧞⧞⧞⧞

Breakdown:

.users⧞        # root
⧞              # schema start (empty = default type 2)
⧞⧞             # schema end
⧞              # row 1 (empty)
⧞              # row 2 (empty)
⧞              # row 3 (empty)
⧞              # row 4 (empty)
⧞⧞             # list end

4 empty placeholder users

Example 3: Nested Structure (Tree)

.tree⧞⧞strA⧞5⧞listB⧞⧞strB⧞⧞
A⧞
strC⧞strD⧞⧞
C⧞D⧞⧞
B

Structure:

tree:
  strA: "A"
  listB: [
    strC: "C",
    strD: "D"
  ]
  strB: "B"

Example 4: Type 10 Dictionary + Substitution

.tree⧞⧞strA⧞4⧞5⧞listA⧞9⧞funcA⧞⧞
CL& works with &CH⧞
.tree.funcA⧞
1⧞id⧞2⧞name⧞2⧞email⧞⧞
1⧞Aa⧞Aa@&domA⧞
2⧞Bb⧞Bb@&domB⧞⧞
10⧞2⧞⧞
CL⧞Claude⧞
CH⧞ChatGPT⧞
domA⧞CL&.ai⧞
domB⧞CH&.com⧞⧞

Dictionary (Type 10):

CL → Claude
CH → ChatGPT
domA → CL&.ai → Claude.ai
domB → CH&.com → ChatGPT.com

After substitution:

strA = "Claude works with ChatGPT"
funcA.row1.email = "Aa@Claude.ai"
funcA.row2.email = "Bb@ChatGPT.com"

5. The Wooden Parser {#parser}

Python Implementation (by ChatGPT)

from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Any, Dict, List

Tq = "⧞"
RESERVED_CODE1 = chr(1)
BROKEN_CODE2   = chr(2)

@dataclass(frozen=True)
class Field:
    type_code: int
    name: str

def parse_simple_branch_salvage_fill_broken(tada: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
    if not tada.startswith("."):
        return {"ok": False, "error": "no_root_dot", "raw": tada}

    first_tq = tada.find(Tq)
    if first_tq == -1:
        return {"ok": False, "error": "no_tquant", "raw": tada}

    branch = tada[1:first_tq]
    if not branch:
        return {"ok": False, "error": "empty_branch", "raw": tada}

    rest = tada[first_tq + 1:]
    sep = Tq + Tq
    pos = rest.find(sep)
    if pos == -1:
        return {"ok": False, "error": "no_scheme_separator", "branch": branch, "raw": tada}

    scheme_part = rest[:pos]
    values_part = rest[pos + 2:]

    scheme_tokens = scheme_part.split(Tq) if scheme_part else []
    if len(scheme_tokens) % 2 != 0:
        return {"ok": False, "error": "bad_scheme_pairs", "branch": branch, "raw": tada}

    fields: List[Field] = []
    for i in range(0, len(scheme_tokens), 2):
        t = scheme_tokens[i]
        n = scheme_tokens[i + 1]
        if (not t.isdigit()) or n == "":
            return {"ok": False, "error": "bad_scheme_token", "branch": branch, "raw": tada}
        fields.append(Field(int(t), n))

    if not fields:
        return {"ok": False, "error": "empty_scheme", "branch": branch, "raw": tada}

    values = values_part.split(Tq) if values_part else []

    # Remove trailing walls
    while values and values[-1] == "":
        values.pop()

    fc = len(fields)
    full_len = (len(values) // fc) * fc
    tail = values[full_len:]
    values_main = values[:full_len]

    records: List[Dict[str, str]] = []

    # Full records
    for off in range(0, len(values_main), fc):
        chunk = values_main[off:off + fc]
        rec = {f.name: raw for f, raw in zip(fields, chunk)}
        records.append(rec)

    filled_missing = 0

    # Incomplete record → fill with BROKEN_CODE2
    if tail:
        padded = tail + [BROKEN_CODE2] * (fc - len(tail))
        filled_missing = fc - len(tail)

6. Super-DI Architecture {#super-di}

Components

L0 Core
├─ L0 Request Handler & Queue Manager
├─ A0..AN (Queue-Agents)
└─ BranchLoader Pool
   ├─ Loader Manager
   ├─ BL0 (primary, always active)
   └─ BL1..BL9 (secondary, on-demand)

L0 Request Handler & Queue Manager

Roles:

  1. Receives requests from L1 (TADA structures)
  2. Analyzes: which branches needed? which depth? dependencies?
  3. Forms tasks, breaks into subtasks
  4. Creates RequestQueue
  5. Distributes tasks to agents A0..AN
  6. Collects results into ResponseQueue
  7. Checks completeness
  8. Synthesizes final answer
  9. Sends to L1
  10. Manages recovery (requests missing data from L1 cache)

Memory: 100M–1B tokens (full snapshot)

A0..AN — Queue-Agents

Characteristics:

  • Universal task handlers
  • Work in parallel
  • Isolated memory (1M–10M tokens each)
  • Single task + branch read key permission

Workflow:

1. Get task from RequestQueue
2. Request BranchLoader to load branch
3. BranchLoader loads branch into agent memory
4. Agent processes (filter, search, compute)
5. Sends result to ResponseQueue
6. Clears memory
7. Ready for next task

Advantages:

  • Parallelism: N agents = N tasks simultaneously
  • Scalability: add agents = increase throughput
  • Fault tolerance: agent crashes → task reassigned
  • Memory efficiency: 10M per agent vs 100M solid

BranchLoader Pool

Components:

  • Loader Manager (coordinator)
  • BL0 (primary, always active)
  • BL1..BL9 (secondary, on-demand)

Loader Manager roles:

  1. Monitors LoadQueue size
  2. Tracks load on active loaders
  3. Dynamic scaling (activate/deactivate loaders)
  4. Load balancing (distribute requests)

BranchLoader roles:

  1. Receives load request from agent
  2. Navigates graph (elevator jump to depth)
  3. Loads branch into agent memory
  4. After processing: unloads, agent memory cleared
  5. Manages active/dormant states

7. Elastic BranchLoader Pool {#loader-pool}

The Scaling Formula (by Gemini)

Loadersactive​=min(MaxLoaders,⌈QueueSize/Capacityper_loader​​⌉)

Variables:

  • QueueSize = current load queue size
  • Capacity_per_loader = agents one loader can serve (typically 100)
  • MaxLoaders = maximum available loaders (e.g., 10)

Examples

Low load:

QueueSize = 50
Capacity = 100
MaxLoaders = 10

Result: min(10, ⌈50/100⌉) = min(10, 1) = 1
→ Only BL0 active

Medium load:

QueueSize = 250
Result: min(10, ⌈250/100⌉) = min(10, 3) = 3
→ BL0, BL1, BL2 active

High load:

QueueSize = 850
Result: min(10, ⌈850/100⌉) = min(10, 9) = 9
→ BL0..BL8 active

Overload:

QueueSize = 1500
Result: min(10, ⌈1500/100⌉) = min(10, 15) = 10
→ All 10 loaders active (max)
→ Latency increases but system doesn't crash

Implementation

import math

class LoaderManager:
    def __init__(self, max_loaders=10, capacity_per_loader=100):
        self.max_loaders = max_loaders
        self.capacity_per_loader = capacity_per_loader
        self.active_loaders = []
        self.available_loaders = [BranchLoader(i) for i in range(max_loaders)]
    
    def calculate_required_loaders(self, queue_size: int) -> int:
        required = math.ceil(queue_size / self.capacity_per_loader)
        return min(self.max_loaders, required)
    
    def scale(self, queue_size: int):
        required = self.calculate_required_loaders(queue_size)
        current = len(self.active_loaders)
        
        if required > current:
            # Scale up
            to_activate = required - current
            for _ in range(to_activate):
                if self.available_loaders:
                    loader = self.available_loaders.pop(0)
                    loader.activate()
                    self.active_loaders.append(loader)
        
        elif required < current:
            # Scale down
            to_deactivate = current - required
            for _ in range(to_deactivate):
                if len(self.active_loaders) > 1:
                    loader = self.active_loaders.pop()
                    loader.deactivate()
                    self.available_loaders.insert(0, loader)

Strategy

Minimize active loaders:

  • Start with BL0 only
  • Activate additional loaders only when needed
  • Deactivate when load decreases
  • Always keep at least BL0 active

Allow latency:

  • 200–500ms acceptable during peaks
  • Better than system overload/crash

Recommended ratios:

  • 1 loader : 100 agents (ideal)
  • 1–10 loaders : 500 agents (small system)
  • 1–20+ loaders : 10,000 agents (large system)

8. Implementation Examples {#examples}

Complete Workflow Example

Query: “Find all Python developers in company”

1. L2 (Human):
   "Show me all Python developers"

2. L1:
   Cleans → "find employees skill Python"
   Forms TADA:
   .query⧞2⧞action⧞2⧞skill⧞⧞find_employees⧞Python⧞⧞

3. L0 Request Handler:
   Analyzes → need .company.departments
   Creates tasks:
   - task1: process engineering
   - task2: process marketing
   - task3: process sales
   RequestQueue = [task1, task2, task3]

4. Agents A0, A1, A2 get tasks

5. BranchLoader loads branches:
   A0.memory ← engineering
   A1.memory ← marketing
   A2.memory ← sales

6. Agents process in parallel:
   A0: finds [Bob, Charlie]
   A1: finds []
   A2: finds [David]

7. ResponseQueue:
   [
     {task1: [Bob, Charlie]},
     {task2: []},
     {task3: [David]}
   ]

8. L0 synthesizes:
   .employees⧞5⧞⧞⧞2⧞name⧞2⧞dept⧞⧞
   Bob⧞engineering⧞
   Charlie⧞engineering⧞
   David⧞sales⧞⧞

9. L1 interprets for human:
   "Found 3 Python developers:
    - Bob (Engineering)
    - Charlie (Engineering)
    - David (Sales)"

10. L2 displays result ✅

Memory Efficiency Comparison

Solid Memory (traditional):

100 agents × 100M tokens each = 10,000M (10B) tokens
All agents hold entire graph
Inefficient, high energy cost

Scale-Layer (TADA):

100 agents × 10M tokens each = 1,000M (1B) tokens
Each agent holds only active branch
BranchLoader manages active/dormant
10× more efficient

Appendix: Key Insights

1. TADA is Broth

You decide what to cook in it. Type identifiers, operators, meanings—all customizable.

2. DI Doesn’t Parse

DI perceives topology. The graph exists whole in perception, not built sequentially.

3. Attention, Not Execution

If reference not found, DI searches rest of graph—doesn’t crash with “undefined”.

4. L1 Will Always Be Needed

Even with perfect L0, humans need L1 as translator. L0 trained on human language = entropy asphyxiation at depth.

5. chr(1) vs chr(2)

  • chr(2) = BROKEN (transport error, temporary)
  • chr(1) = RESERVED (declared but not filled, may be permanent)
  • DI transforms BROKEN → RESERVED if record worth keeping

6. Elastic Scaling Formula
