ZeqCompress

Operators, constants, equations, experiments — the registry surface.

• Protocol ID — zeq-compress
• Category — Data

What it does

Zeqond-timestamped compression protocol. Creates .zeqc archives using Zstd level-19 compression with SHA-256 integrity verification. Custom binary format: ZEQC magic header, Zeqond timestamp, file metadata JSON, compressed payload. Includes forensic entropy analyzer (classifies data as RAW/COMPRESSED/ENCRYPTED).

Signature

Request

POST /api/zeq/compress

Param	Type	Required	Default	Description
data	string	✓	—	Base64-encoded data to compress
filename	string		—	Original filename for archive metadata
level	number		19	Zstd compression level (1-22)

Response

{ archive (base64 .zeqc), sha256, zeqond, ratio, originalSize, compressedSize, forensic }

Runnable example

curl -sS -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ZEQ_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "data": "<value>",
  "filename": "<value>",
  "level": 19
}' \

Integrate

1. Introspection — list what the kernel can compute before authoring a wizard step.
2. Schema generation — feed returned operator definitions into typed bindings in any language.
3. Experiment catalog — wire the response into a UI selector for reproducible demos.

Seeds

• Near — wrap /api/zeq/compress in a language SDK so builders can call it in three lines.
• Medium — publish a reference integration demonstrating ZeqCompress alongside a real workload, with pulse-aligned metrics.
• Far — propose ZeqCompress as an open reference standard so other runtimes can implement it verbatim against the Zeq paper.
