The Insight

While studying carbon nanotube properties, Manish Jagdish Thatte discovers that metallic carbon nanotubes exhibit three stable conducting states. Documents the core concept of using SWCNT@MWCNT devices with photonic trit encoding for balanced ternary logic.

Conception
2006
Affidavit Filed

Core invention concept documented in a notarized affidavit, later certified by CIVEN (Italy). Establishes the prior art date for the unified molecular fabrication method described in Patent Thatte1.

Priority Date
2007 — 2023
Research & Development

Continuous refinement of the balanced ternary computing concept. Study of carbon nanotube fabrication advances worldwide — IBM, Stanford, and TSMC demonstrations. Development of the theoretical framework spanning device physics through operating system design.

R&D
2024
System Design Begins

Formal design of the complete photonic-ternary computing stack: SWCNT@MWCNT device, photonic switching method, gate library, processor architecture, compiler, operating system, memory, and security. Six interdependent inventions taking shape as a unified system.

Design
2025
Implementation & Verification

NEGF quantum transport simulation of the SWCNT@MWCNT device using Kwant. Photonic trit encoding confirmed: ±74 μA current, SNR > 2000 (54 dB). ManiT compiler v0.1.0 built. THATTEOS microkernel compiled to .t3b binaries.

Verified
April 2026
