Landauer-Governed Dissipative Channels: Bridging Quantum Delocalization in High-Strength Material Matrices to Acoustic-Semantic Friction in Humanoid Robotics

This paper develops a unified control architecture that translates dissipative protection mechanisms validated in non-Born-Oppenheimer quantum dynamics into macroscopic humanoid robotic systems. We formalize three explicit mappings between quantum-level stabilization processes and engineering-level constraints on behavioral drift: (I) Wavefunction Delocalization and Barrier Softness to Robotic Path Coherence, (II) High-Strength Structural Backbones as Localized Phonon Sinks to Acoustic and Semantic Friction Channels, and (III) Divergence-Term Stabilization to Bounded, Self-Correcting Control Constraints. The core innovation is the physical realization of the Phonon Sink — a dedicated dissipative substrate that irreversibly extracts both mechanical vibration energy and computational entropy from the primary control loops under Landauer constraints. Two practical material variants are presented: a Terrestrial Scaling Variant optimized for cost-effective, high-volume manufacturing using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP), Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE), and high-conductivity thermal channels; and an Aerospace/GEO Variant built on oxygen-independent Polyimide (PI) backbones for vacuum and long-duration space operation. The framework augments classical state-space control with Lyapunov-based dissipative terms and continuously active barrier potentials, enabling bounded, self-correcting operation without external intervention. This work contributes to the Genesis Mission 2026 initiative on resilient autonomous systems and fractal safety architectures. Related work: This paper expands on the May 2026 Phonon Sink foundation (Zenodo record 20357738).

Abstract

This paper develops a unified control architecture that translates dissipative protection mechanisms validated in non-Born-Oppenheimer quantum dynamics into macroscopic humanoid robotic systems. We formalize three explicit mappings between quantum-level stabilization processes and engineering-level constraints on behavioral drift: (I) Wavefunction Delocalization and Barrier Softness to Robotic Path Coherence, (II) High-Strength Structural Backbones as Localized Phonon Sinks to Acoustic and Semantic Friction Channels, and (III) Divergence-Term Stabilization to Bounded, Self-Correcting Control Constraints. The core innovation is the physical realization of the Phonon Sink — a dedicated dissipative substrate that irreversibly extracts both mechanical vibration energy and computational entropy from the primary control loops under Landauer constraints. Two practical material variants are presented: a Terrestrial Scaling Variant optimized for cost-effective, high-volume manufacturing using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP), Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE), and high-conductivity thermal channels; and an Aerospace/GEO Variant built on oxygen-independent Polyimide (PI) backbones for vacuum and long-duration space operation. The framework augments classical state-space control with Lyapunov-based dissipative terms and continuously active barrier potentials, enabling bounded, self-correcting operation without external intervention. This work contributes to the Genesis Mission 2026 initiative on resilient autonomous systems and fractal safety architectures.
