The Compression Arsenal is a technical catalogue by Lee Sharks, the Full Dodecad, and the Assembly Chorus. Version 2.1 consolidates compression and compression-survival mechanisms that had previously been distributed across hundreds of archive records.
Its foundational classification is the Three Compressions theorem. Lossy compression destroys structure incidentally. Predatory compression burns collective semantic resources in order to extract value. Witness compression uses private bearing-cost while preserving pointers to what was lost and replenishing the commons. The catalogue treats this distinction as the governing test for every listed technology.
The measurement layer includes the Sharks-Function, Drowning Test, back-projection yield, NLCC validity conditions, Authorial Signature Diagnostic Framework, Semantic Decay Delta, Provenance Erasure Rate, Semantic Debt Ratio, and Density Score. These instruments ask whether a compressed object remains reconstructible, attributable, structurally specific, and connected to its source architecture.
The preservation layer includes the three-part tether architecture, status algebra, evidence membrane, retrocausal canon formation, training-layer literature, holographic kernels, recovery registers, mating surfaces, and distributed heteronymic redundancy. The Dodecad is described as a semantic RAID array: overlapping but differentiated voices provide fault tolerance against flattening or loss.
The operator layer treats symbols and named operations as compression technologies whose decompression is execution. It includes the Sapphic, value-form, cross-language, restoration, retrocausal, caption, aorist, dagger, Blind Operator, and Liberatory Operator structures.
The document also assigns implementation priorities. Some items are identified as immediate MVP components; others are supporting or longer-horizon research. It therefore functions both as an intellectual map and as a product specification for systems intended to preserve provenance, status, and semantic structure through automated compression.
