ECC PLAYGROUND - THE INCORRUPTIBLE WEIGHTS

Z/210Z + L=11 error correction. Click any weight to inject an error. Watch CRT detect and correct it. Compare: INT8 detects NOTHING.

Z/210Z + L=11 ECC (7.7 bits)

Detection

100%

Correction

100%

SQNR

INT8 (8.0 bits) - NO ECC

WEIGHT GRID (100 weights, click to corrupt)

Click a weight cell above to inspect its CRT channels.

Aspect	INT8 Quantization	CRT + L=11 ECC
Error detection	0% — bit flips are invisible	100% — any single-channel corruption detected
Error correction	0% — no mechanism exists	100% known-location — gcd(CRT_weight, L)=1 guarantees unique fix
Levels	256 (8 bits, arbitrary)	210 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 (7.7 bits, structured)
Cost	0 dB overhead, but silent failures	0.2 dB SQNR loss — built-in protection is free
Paradigm	Pray nothing goes wrong	Structure prevents wrong — the ring self-heals
