Coordinated Fixed-Point Domain Modular Arithmetic (Co-FPD-MA)
[edit]Coordinated Fixed-Point Domain Modular Arithmetic (Co-FPD-MA) is a computational framework developed by researcher Christopher Hill in 2025. It builds upon traditional Modular arithmetic by incorporating fixed-point quantization, segmented modular logic, and coordinated arithmetic scheduling. The system includes two subvariants: Modular Segmentation Arithmetic (MSA) and Modular Segmented Multi-Precision Arithmetic (MSMPA). Together, they form a hardware-friendly deterministic arithmetic system nicknamed Cozy Math.
Overview
[edit]Co-FPD-MA offers a bounded, deterministic alternative to floating-point math for real-time computing. The system is optimized for applications in GPU computing, cryptography, artificial intelligence, augmented reality (AR), and kernel module design. It is particularly well-suited for devices requiring precision with limited floating-point units.

Where:
- is the fixed-point quantum
- is the modulus
- is a dependency coordination function
Modular Segmentation Arithmetic (MSA)
[edit]MSA represents an integer in segmented form:
Where: , and is the segment base.
Modular Segmented Multi-Precision Arithmetic (MSMPA)
[edit]
This enables multi-word arithmetic with carry and parallel coordination.
Sample C Implementation
[edit]uint32_t co_fpd_ma(uint32_t a, uint32_t b, uint32_t Q, uint32_t M) {
uint32_t sum = a + b;
uint32_t quantized = (sum / Q) * Q;
return quantized % M;
}
Assembly Pseudocode (x86-64)
[edit]; Inputs: a in rax, b in rbx, Q in rcx, M in rdx
add rax, rbx ; a + b
div rcx ; divide by Q
mul rcx ; re-quantize
div rdx ; mod M
Applications
[edit]- GPU shaders: Deterministic pipeline stage math
- AR hardware: Low-power embedded processing
- Cryptographic engines: Efficient bounded modular calculations
- AI inference: Safe quantized arithmetic
- Linux kernel: Predictable scheduler routines and driver math
Historical Context
[edit]Co-FPD-MA was introduced in early 2025 by Christopher Hill and released under a customized MIT License with an optional moral clause, encouraging voluntary profit-sharing to support continued research.
