👋 Hi, I'm Salvador Guzman!

Mathematician | Systems Engineer | Polyglot Enthusiast | Theoretical Innovator | Rustacean


Welcome to my corner of GitHub, where advanced mathematics meets operating‑system ingenuity, and where a passion for languages fuels creative problem‑solving.

🚀 Professional Summary

I fuse deep theoretical insight with hands‑on engineering to shape the future of computation and knowledge. From pioneering custom OS kernels in Rust to exploring symbolic compression and SKI combinators, my work bridges abstract mathematics and scalable software systems. As a lifelong polyglot and voracious reader, I build tools that learn and evolve alongside human understanding.

🔬 Research & Theoretical Pursuits

My research spans pure theory to speculative frameworks:

  • Symbolic Compression & Combinatory Logic: Minimal expression of computation via SKI calculus and Church numerals.
  • Operator Theory & Curvature: Treating curvature as a computational primitive, linking geometry with information theory.
  • Runtime Algebra & Process Semantics: Defining algebraic operations for OS process mobility, reproducibility, and morphism.
  • Topology & Homotopy Dynamics: Homotopical function iteration, ambient space analysis of connectivity and turbulence.
  • Mathematical UI Metaphors: Interactive scrollable coordinate systems, algebraic explorer interfaces.

📐 Dedicated Mathematics Research

  • Convolution & Integral Transforms: Convolution with Gaussian kernels (e^{-x^2}) as mathematical cursors, nested Riemann sums, and novel integral transforms for orbit analysis.
  • Curvature-Based Computation: Treating curvature as an information metric and computational primitive, linking geometric bending with semantic complexity.
  • Operator Theory & Collatz Analysis: Leveraging operator-theoretic frameworks and fractional iterators to study Collatz orbits and fixed-point dynamics.
  • Fractional & Holomorphic Function Application: Generalized function iteration as semigroup operators; decomposing real functions into holomorphic scaling and rotation components.
  • Alternative Geometric Representations: Dot-product-based coordinate systems, boolean matrix curves, and algebraic operator sequences as spatial encodings.
  • Topological Dynamics & Homotopy: Linear homotopy framed as fractional application, ambient space connectivity, homology preservation under turbulent flows.
