Proximity based connectivity architectures

This note continues a line of work exploring proximity-based connectivity architectures across several dense or degraded-connectivity settings — an exhibition venue (IMC 2026, proposed to Bharti Airtel), the Delhi Metro (concept note drafted for DMRC), marketplaces, traffic corridors, and disaster response (identified as a fit for NDRF). That work converged on a recurring two-register pattern — an unconditional “Core” layer for safety-critical reach and a consent-gated “Shell” layer for personalized services — which proved structurally load-bearing across every domain tested.

Before extending this further, a discipline check was applied: Probabilistic AXIM v2 (“Grounded Surprisal”), a revised version of an axis-and-novelty-scoring methodology built after two prior audits showed that ideas flagged as “low-probability surprises” were, on inspection, existing prior art — in one case already funded and shipping. v2 fixes this by requiring an actual prior-art and recency search before any configuration can be called novel, classifying each surviving idea as Known/Established, Emerging/Contested, or Grounded White Space.
