Abstract:

   This document specifies the Hypercube Data Rotation Protocol (HDRP),
   an experimental protocol for distributing erasure-coded data shards
   across nodes arranged in an n-dimensional binary hypercube topology
   and periodically permuting shard placement through structured
   rotation operations.  Rotations are automorphisms of the hypercube
   graph, applied on a fixed epoch schedule and committed to a
   verifiable epoch ledger.  The design applies the established
   principles of hypercube interconnection networks, maximum distance
   separable (MDS) erasure coding, and moving target defense (MTD) to
   provide three properties in combination: storage-efficient fault
   tolerance, continuous cryptographic verifiability, and reduction of
   the value of static reconnaissance by an adversary.  HDRP is
   designed to integrate with autonomous self-healing pipelines and
   with dual-layer permanence anchoring (blockchain timestamping and
   DOI archival) as defined in related documents by the same author.
   Informally, the rotation mechanism may be visualized as the face
   turns of a combination puzzle applied to a data topology; this
   document defines that intuition as a precise algebraic operation.
