Helix v1.0.0 - "The Primordial Soup"

Release Date: 2026-01-07
Status: Stable

🧬 Abstract

This is the first stable release of Helix, a systems-level compiler for archiving binary data into DNA oligonucleotides. It moves beyond simple encoding to implement a full storage stack compatible with "Deep Time" archival.

✨ Key Features

  • Streaming Engine: Processes files larger than physical RAM (Tested on 1TB datasets).
  • Bio-Stability: Enforces 40-60% GC content and 0% Homopolymers via a Rotating Base-3 Trellis.
  • Error Correction:
    • Erasure: Reed-Solomon (N+K) recovers lost strands.
    • Mutation: Viterbi Decoder recovers mutated strands (substitution errors).
  • Security: AES-256-GCM encryption with Argon2id key derivation.
  • Addressing: Fuzzy Primer matching allows physical retrieval even with chemical degradation.

📦 Artifacts

  • helix-v1.0.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz - Static binary (Striped).
  • SPEC.md - HES-1 Encoding Specification.
  • ARCHITECTURE.md - System design and threat model.

⚠️ Notes

  • This version is calibrated for Phosphoramidite Synthesis.
  • Default redundancy is set to 10 Data + 5 Parity (33% overhead).
  • Use --j 0 to auto-saturate all CPU cores.

Verified by the Helix Validation Suite (v1.1)
