Atomic Units of X: The Compression Layer of Intelligence

This paper proposes a theoretical framework for understanding intelligence as a process of atomic compression and compositional reuse. We argue that cognitive, biological, computational, and organizational systems achieve scalable intelligence by decomposing complex phenomena into reusable atomic units that can be recombined into higher-order structures. Drawing on evidence from cognitive science, information theory, evolutionary biology, software engineering, medicine, legal reasoning,…
