WNSP Protocol Reference — Spectral Communication Standard
The Wavelength-Native Spectral Protocol (WNSP) is the complete specification for physics-based communication in NexusOS. It defines three sub-protocols and a Hilbert space channel model that together replace cryptographic hashing with electromagnetic physics.
WNSP-CE v1.0 — Character Encoding
Maps every symbol to a visible-light wavelength using the CE_TABLE: nm = 380 + (charCode % 128) × 3.125. 128 spectral bands, 380–780nm, 3.125nm per band. Deterministic, platform-independent, AGPL-3.0.
WNSP-SE v1.0 — Spectral Encoding
Maps data payloads to physical wave frames. Each frame carries a spectral envelope derived from the CE-encoded source data. Maxwell equation validation applied at the frame level: ∇²E = μ₀ε₀ ∂²E/∂t² must be satisfied.
WNSP-URI v1.0 — Addressing Scheme
Deterministic, censorship-proof addressing using the format: wnsp://Ψ(wdm,oam,pol)/path. Every address is derived from physics — no registrar, no DNS, no single point of control.
Hilbert Space Channel Model
The complete channel space: 256 WDM × 50 OAM × 2 polarisations = 25,600 orthogonal Ψ channels. ⟨Ψᵢ|Ψⱼ⟩ = 0 for all i ≠ j. Channel isolation is guaranteed by quantum mechanics.
