GeoNum - precision arithmetic with a trust verdict

GeoNum (Geometric Number Scale) is the precision layer underneath GDBS. Standard IEEE 754 floating point silently loses precision; GeoNum tracks the drift through a whole computation and reports a trust verdict - so you know how many digits of a result are real.

What it is

A drift-tracked, zone-tessellated arithmetic system. Each computed value carries its own drift figure and relative uncertainty, classified as PRECISE, DRIFTING, UNRELIABLE, or ERROR.

Why it matters

• Precision you can see. The verdict tells you whether to trust a number instead of assuming it.
• Independently citable. GeoNum is published and citable at DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19199836.
• Backs every GDBS result. The same layer carries precision across all GDBS engines.

Honest scope

GeoNum reports the precision of a computation; it does not invent precision the inputs do not contain. Its value is honest, visible uncertainty.
