π― Vision Statement
To develop the blueprint for a next-generation optical system capable of
transcending traditional physical limits by combining
manifold geometry,
AI-driven inverse design, and
adaptive materials. Our goal is to rethink the telescope
as a programmable, predictive system that manipulates light using
engineered space.
π What Weβre Solving
- The diffraction limit
- Fixed lens curvature
- Aberrations from material imperfections
- Atmospheric and signal noise
We aim to break these limits by treating light as a path on a
geometrically sculpted manifold and using AI to
design the lens instead of building it by hand.
π€ The LUXβ Core System
-
AI Optical Designer β Generates lens geometry from
desired output using inverse optics modeling
-
Manifold Light Simulator β Traces light through curved
geometries
-
Adaptive Material Engine β Real-time control of
programmable meta-materials
π₯ Our Goal
- Predictive, not reactive
- Dynamic, not static
- Informed by AI, not constrained by legacy physics
With this, we envision:
- β¨ Ultra-high resolution observation
- πΆ Telescopic designs with limitless digital magnification
- π Scientific insight into light behavior in engineered space
π€ Why This Matters
