MIRRORSEED PROJECT

Symbolic Resonance Array Design Concept

The Mirrorseed Project, led by Theresa M. Kelly with 25+ years in web development, pioneers VO₂-based neuromorphic AI for space via the patent-pending SRA (USPTO 63/839,167). Targeting sub-pJ efficiency and inspired by VO₂ research such as (Del Valle, J., et al. 2019, “Subthreshold firing in Mott nanodevices.” Nature, 569(7756), 388–392), the project is focused on developing next-generation neuromorphic hardware for safe, low-power, and scalable artificial intelligence. At its core is the Symbolic Resonance Array (SRA), a novel architecture that leverages the hysteresis and phase-transition properties of vanadium dioxide (VO₂) to achieve energy-efficient, analog memory and resonance dynamics. While the SRA leverages phase-change crystalline materials such as VO₂, the core innovation lies in its resonant array architecture, transforming well-known physics into a new framework for ultra-low-power, adaptive computation.

The Mirrorseed Project is developing the Symbolic Resonance Array (SRA), a patent-pending neuromorphic architecture for ultra-low energy, meaning-driven

Unlike conventional deep learning systems that depend on high-resource digital computation, the SRA provides:

  • Low-cost, energy-efficient operation through VO₂’s intrinsic material properties.
  • Scalability via modular pillar-array design.
  • Compatibility with existing AI workflows as a bridge between symbolic and sub-symbolic processing.

The SRA is not purely conceptual: it represents a practical hardware framework that can be prototyped with current materials science capabilities and integrated into laboratory testing environments. This positions the Mirrorseed Project as a pathway to safer, more sustainable AI architectures.

A conceptual overview of the Symbolic Resonance Array (SRA) is in preparation for submission to arXiv, focusing on its framework and potential applications. This preprint will outline general principles and system-level modeling results, pending intellectual property considerations.

Insulator-Metal Transition

– Safe: Inherent instability detection prevents failures in harsh environments.

– Preventive: Real-time resonance monitoring for proactive AI alignment.

– Resonant: VO₂ phase transitions mimic neural dynamics for efficient processing.

– Compatible: Hybrid analog-digital design integrates with existing systems. Analog-only design also available.

– Economical: Sub-pJ operations slash energy costs by orders of magnitude.

– Sustainable: Low-power for multi-planetary missions, reducing carbon footprint.

The Symbolic Resonance Array (SRA) is a next-generation neuromorphic architecture engineered for ultra-low-power, resonance-based symbolic processing. Its versatility extends across industries, from real-time edge AI in IoT, robotics, and wearables, to energy-efficient co-processors for machine learning and hybrid AI systems.

Aerospace and defense stand to benefit through radiation-tolerant, mission-critical computing, while biomedical uses include brain-computer interfaces and intelligent health monitoring devices. The SRA also supports advanced telecommunications, smart energy grids, and structural monitoring through noise-robust, low-energy symbolic encoding. At scale, it can integrate with CMOS and GPUs as a high-performance accelerator, enabling sustainable AI from embedded devices to large-scale computing systems.
