Show HN: A-C Coupling – Deterministic Data Decomposition in O(n) with No Search
A new technical note has been published, introducing the A-C Coupling structural design pattern for deterministic data decomposition. This pattern guarantees O(n) complexity with no search, no allocation, and no backtracking, making it suitable for embedded systems, network protocols, and distributed computing. The pattern has been registered with the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property and includes a reference implementation.
- ▪The A-C Coupling pattern enables dimension-independent decomposition of integers into weighted layers.
- ▪The pattern guarantees O(n) complexity with no search, no allocation, and no backtracking.
- ▪A reference implementation of the pattern is included in the technical note.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Published June 15, 2026 | Version v1 Technical note Open A-C Coupling: Structural Design Pattern for Deterministic Data Decomposition Authors/Creators el Issaoui, Bilal Description Structural design pattern for deterministic, dimension-independent decomposition of integers into weighted layers. Guarantees O(n) complexity with no search, no allocation, and no backtracking. Defines two structural conditions — Foundation and Chain — that together enable predictable parsing for embedded systems, network protocols, and distributed computing. Reference implementation included.
