Deterministic Integer Topologies: Bypassing the Matrix-Multiplication Bottleneck via Cache-Resident Graph Traversal
A 6-regular integer lattice of order N = T112 = 6328 occupies 74.16 KiB and fits in a 256 KiB Kaby Lake L2. Two-socket telemetry: 9.76 ns/hop on an i7-7700 (102 M hops/s) and 5.75 ns/hop on an i7-14700F (174 M hops/s). Fail-closed halt 1.5 µs / 800 ns. One 1024×1024 float32 GEMM on the 7700 is 7.48 ms (767k hops). Not a language model. Hops versus FLOPs. This is a measured cache-resident state router, not a transformer.
