Three Core Pillars of traFIX
A purpose-built deep-tech architecture engineered to solve the developing world's worst infrastructure crises — without expensive foreign cloud lock-in.
Simplified Arithmetic Engine
Our patented approach simplifies the arithmetic circuits used in traffic micro-simulation — dramatically reducing gate counts compared to conventional floating-point hardware. Fewer gates means simpler, cheaper hardware that runs cooler, enabling passive solar-powered edge deployment without active cooling or expensive co-processors.
- Drastically lower gate counts — no precision loss
- Zero expensive floating-point co-processor hardware
- Lower heat enables fanless, solar-powered operation
- Dual-profile: compact edge node + full-throughput server
NASA CTAS Heritage
Built on the Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) advisory philosophy adapted from NASA's Center-TRACON Automation System for air traffic terminal control. Bypasses safety control liability by advising commuters and enforcers rather than forcing mechanical actuation.
- Advisory-only architecture — no vehicle control liability
- Operator override at Oracle and Sector levels
- Compliance-incentivized via TFX token streaks
FaaST & Tressellate
Integrates Flow as a Service (FaaST) edge nodes into the Tressellate decentralized infrastructure protocol. Solar-powered controllers run local micro-simulations, compiling cryptographic compliance certificates on distributed ledger infrastructure for TFX yield generation.
- DePIN tokenomics — TFX rewards for flow compliance
- Sub-GHz RF mesh for offline resilience
- Data sovereignty — no foreign cloud lock-in
Simplified Circuits, Full Precision
By simplifying the arithmetic circuits, we eliminate expensive floating-point co-processors entirely — cutting gate counts, slashing heat output, and enabling compute hardware cheap enough to deploy at every intersection.

Dual-Core Architecture
Compact compute profile — minimal gate count footprint designed for solar-powered FaaST DIY Node Kits. Runs fanless at under 2W passive solar load — no active cooling required.
Full-throughput compute profile — maximum parallel processing for sector-level and Oracle-level batch simulation. Same simplified circuits at higher parallelism for municipal-scale processing.
traFIX Engine vs Traditional Approaches
The same micro-simulation workload, run on four different compute substrates. Our simplified arithmetic engine is the only option that works off-grid in the developing world.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Real-Time Factor (RTF) | 50×+ | 8–12× | 0.3–1× | >20× |
| Power Draw | 300W | 150W | 5W | <2W |

The insight: GPU/Cloud has raw throughput but requires grid power, internet backhaul, and active cooling — none of which are reliable in Metro Manila's feeder corridors. Our simplified circuits deliver >20× RTF at under 2W with no cooling fans, making it the only approach viable for typhoon-resilient, solar-powered edge deployment at every intersection.
