How does photonic computing, MZi,  and,  posits and ADCs  play very well together?

• What it is: The overarching term for gathering data about the Earth's physical, chemical, and biological systems via remote sensing instruments (including SWE, SAR, optical, Hyperspectral Residua, and microwave radiometers)

bounded ENOB (Effective Number of Bits)
 
"... looks like posits and ADCs are going to play very well together in the future."

 bounded residual-processing fabrics whose primary computational primitive is residual interference:

R = A ⊖ E

Where:

• A represents the incoming real-time sensor field,
• E represents the expected or modeled environmental baseline,
  
  
  
• sparse residual extraction,
• streaming edge sensing,
• bounded ENOB,
• and locally calibrated replicated compute lanes.
• R represents the sparse anomaly residual field.
