Why Qxbin, Now!?

I'm going to write a series of posts online about what QxBin is, its impact across topics starting today, and how it adds a new diabolical basis to the pikkstop network - the unfair advantage we are aiming to build.
:)
I know I have been aloof, personally on social media, and across in general. The thing I have been sitting on is a complex mathematical problem since 2020, and solving it would unlock a different level of a moat for pikk.company. Solutions were always supposed to be mathematical. I started a podcast with the ex-principal of Azure, Alberto Roldan, to go find a solution to this problem, and we were essentially where we started.
Then, post-Covid, I decided to start Pikk. It began with a problem to solve for a friend, and our notion became: we pikk solutions for the problems you have in digital growth. But I set out to start a deeptech company.
Since the very inception of Pikk, to build an AI-driving company for the world's understanding of emotions, and training a software to process them, has been a tough problem to solve, and it has had a different level of a quantum of mathematical challenges. I thought it would be a nice exercise to learn the execution that requires a different, diabolical nature of patience. And to learn to be best friends with the thought of being impatiently patient - I know it sounds bizarre.
The quantum computers running in a cryogenic lab are the solution to that problem today, to start understanding the crux of the problem. I am going to break it into multiple small problems.
Please do keep in mind that these are like small problems to collectively solve a big problem:
Building a complex mathematical composition for each feeling, mood, and emotion, and the collective outcome of these clashing together to form a nice butterfly effect out of an organized chaos of being humans.
The energy and water required to run these massive computers, to get to the proofing that this mathematical composition is going to work.
Capital, and the coordination for the deployment of capital, are a different monster altogether.
The training of talent, and the organization of talent that understands quantum mechanics and is patient to trial and error the experiments through and through.
The frameworks and the academic simplicity required for that are totally missing.
There's this massive deployment of computers which cannot not be used, and if we switch to another technology with an exponential difference, that would be a massive waste pile across resources and industries.
The redundancy and the limitations of binary compute.
Knowing that one AI agent is going to need a massive computer to serve or facilitate the world (we have an example of Grok and Colossus today—yay, I was right), which is going to work against the democratization of a beautiful technology of today: artificial intelligence.
And a few more which aren't as imperative to address.
Going through all of this to get to a point where it unlocks having a dream quantum computer on my desk - diabolical, if you ask me.
Working in retail and sales for a decade, keeping the programmer in me alive. It would have been a known blunder on my part that I was not willing to make at any expense.
So, me making a choice to not raise venture capital before now was to make sure I would have only added to the problem I'm trying to be an unfair advantage against; so bootstrapping through research and hoping it aligns with the problems you solve to pay the bills was a challenge I started looking forward to.
Not like we have stopped bootstrapping now, but then, deploying hardware at the expense of my customers' trust was never an option until I/we figured this bit out.
So I made a conscious decision to not bootstrap based on the dream of Pikkstops till we figure out the mathematical problem, but a services company, so that that would help us upskill ourselves to do the research I intended to do.
Which started with a few pages of notes in my blue notebook through 5 years of solving a similar problem across domains, and different problems across one complex business I set out to build, and my take on what would solve the above-listed problems to bring one chain of solutions.
Today, it is called the Rupesh Malpani Framework - QxBin.
Why QxBin? It's quantum mechanics hugging binary mathematics.
Framework? It has to be always in the state of progress till we actually solve the problem using it as a solution.
QxBin can be a great basis for building a network of computers, the kind that sits between the cryogenic monsters and the desk dream - knitting hardware nodes that actually talk the same mathematical language instead of just pushing more binary waste.
The empirical moat we needed to connect hardware and knit out a network which is ahead of its time, and to justify the customer expense - in our case, a democratized individual franchise owner/investor, to get us to convince someone to invest above $100k / 1Cr in one go for one location's deployment. It's not like unhappy customers are going to crib about a bad stitch on a jacket sewn badly. It's going to be their hard-earned money they are choosing to invest into building a future for the next generation's growth and people.
And it also fed into my long term dream to build a new computer which was built by my effort.
Getting a quantum computer that can fit on a desk to process all this, which does not require a boatload of electricity and other resources, and to reduce the need for these by a factorial, that made a difference.
