TIP-0128: Project K-Scale - Thermodynamic AI Supercomputer InitiativeAbstractThis proposal introduces Project K-Scale, a comprehensive initiative to develop a Dyson swarm thermodynamic halo supercomputer reaching K-Scale 1.5 on the Kardashev scale. This ambitious project combines thermodynamic principles, effective accelerationism (e/acc), and advanced AI hardware to create the most energy-efficient AI supercomputer ever conceived. The initiative spans three interconnected phases: spreading thermodynamic principles and Kardashev scaling concepts, imbuing these principles into specialized AI hardware, and scaling to a full Dyson swarm supercomputer. MotivationAs humanity approaches technological singularity, we face fundamental physical limits to computation. Current AI development follows an unsustainable path of increasing energy consumption without regard for thermodynamic efficiency. To achieve true technological acceleration as envisioned by e/acc philosophy, we must:
Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin demonstrated how energy-based proof-of-work could create value, but we must evolve beyond energy waste toward energy efficiency【turn1search7】. Specification (Clarified Thermodynamic Efficiency Metrics)Phase 1: Thermodynamic Principles Dissemination (Years 1-3)
