SCBE-AETHERMOORE: Jam-Resistant Drone Swarm Governance

One-Line Summary

Mathematical coordination layer that enables drone swarms to detect compromised units and maintain formation without RF communication.

The Problem

Current drone swarm systems face critical vulnerabilities in contested environments:

Communication Jamming: RF-based coordination fails when jammed
Compromised Units: No reliable way to detect a hacked/spoofed drone
Single Points of Failure: Central coordinators are high-value targets
Trust Bootstrapping: How do drones verify each other post-deployment?

Our Solution: Hyperbolic Geometry + Phase Signatures

SCBE-AETHERMOORE enables swarm coordination through mathematical proximity sensing rather than explicit communication.

Core Innovation: “Drones Feel Each Other”

Each drone maintains:

A position in hyperbolic space (Poincaré ball model)
A phase signature (one of six cryptographic “tongues”)
A trust score computed from behavior, not assertions

Key Insight: In hyperbolic space, distance grows exponentially near the boundary. Adversarial behavior naturally pushes compromised units toward the “edge” where they’re isolated.

Demonstrated Capabilities

1. Rogue Unit Detection (Zero False Positives)

Metric	Result
Detection speed	Step 0 (immediate)
Consensus	6/6 drones agree
False positives	0
Method	Phase-null anomaly detection

How it works: A compromised drone with invalid phase signature is “felt” as anomalous by all legitimate units. No communication required - the math itself reveals the intruder.

2. Decentralized Formation Control

Metric	Result
Coordination	No central controller
Collision avoidance	100% (hyperbolic repulsion)
Boundary maintenance	All units stay in safe manifold
Scaling	O(n²) checks, constant-time each

3. Jam-Resistant Operation

Scenario	Traditional	SCBE
RF jammed	Formation lost	Formation maintained
GPS denied	Coordination fails	Internal geometry continues
Central node destroyed	Swarm fails	No impact

Technical Architecture

DRONE SWARM COORDINATION STACK
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Layer 1: PHYSICAL
  └─ IMU, relative positioning, local sensors

Layer 2: HYPERBOLIC EMBEDDING
  └─ Map drone state → 6D Poincaré ball position
  └─ Distance: d_H = arcosh(1 + 2||u-v||² / ((1-||u||²)(1-||v||²)))

Layer 3: PHASE SIGNATURE
  └─ Six Sacred Tongues: KO, AV, RU, CA, UM, DR
  └─ Each drone assigned phase at manufacture
  └─ Phase relationships are cryptographically verifiable

Layer 4: ANOMALY DETECTION
  └─ Null-phase units trigger "itch" in neighbors
  └─ Suspicion accumulates across time
  └─ Consensus threshold: 4/6 for quarantine

Layer 5: SWARM BEHAVIOR
  └─ Repulsion: legitimate units spread evenly
  └─ Quarantine: compromised units pushed to boundary
  └─ Formation: emergent from local rules

Simulation Results

Rogue Drone Injection Test

Setup: 6 legitimate drones + 1 compromised (phase-null) intruder

Result:

Step  0: Rogue QUARANTINED (6/6 consensus)
Step 10: Rogue isolated, avg distance 2.89
Step 25: Zero false positives on legitimate units

VERDICT: Swarm detected intruder through pure math.
         No RF communication required.

Swarm Coordination Test

Setup: 20 drones, tight initial cluster, RF disabled

Result:

Initial spacing: 0.08 (dangerous)
Final spacing:   0.42 (safe)
Collisions:      0
Boundary escapes: 0
Coordination score: 0.91
