Open R&D · architecture · 4 open problems · substrate contribution paths
Open problems in architecture-construction R&D where conventional cost and durability barriers have not been closed. From carbon-neutral concrete at scale to living-building materials, each row names the structural unsolved + substrate path. Average time-to-impact for substrate contributions: 28 months.
cumulative annual R&D spend addressed · USD millions

Open-problem ledger · substrate-contribution pathways · Each row names a structurally unsolved R&D problem, the reason the conventional industry has not closed it, and the substrate contribution path the BRMSTE substrate offers. Substrate modes: physics-decomposer · sieve-inference · cross-civilizational-historical-anchor · agentic-routing · three-body-failure-audit. See /legal/liability.
| # | Open problem | Why unsolved | R&D ($M) | Substrate contribution | T-to-impact (mo) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Carbon-neutral concrete formulation at scale carbon-neutral-concrete-scale | fly-ash + slag supplements reduce strength · alternative binders cost-prohibitive | 300 | sieve inference on hydration-kinetics × strength-development × carbon-footprint tensor | 21 |
| 02 | Modular building assembly automation modular-assembly-automation | tolerancing + site assembly variable · labor cost still lowest option | 150 | agentic robotic-assembly planning + three-body audit (module tolerance × assembly precision × supply-chain variability) | 30 |
| 03 | Real-time seismic retrofit design seismic-retrofit-real-time | retrofit cost often exceeds demolition · seismic margin estimation uncertain | 80 | physics decomposer on structural-response × damping × retrofit-intervention coupling | 30 |
| 04 | Living-building material scaling living-building-material | biological-system reliability · long-term durability <5 years | 50 | agentic microbe-population monitoring + three-body audit (growth × material-property × environmental-coupling) | 30 |
