Optical Resonator Inference

A Fabry-Perot holographic resonator is an exact physical RNN. The refractive index distribution of a PTR glass medium encodes model weights as holographic gratings. T=100 round trips through the cavity compute the T-th power of the round-trip operator — a weight-tied recurrent network derived from Maxwell's equations, not by analogy to digital systems.

Architecture locked through ARCH-17. Full theoretical derivations complete. Phase 1 lab validation pending.
