## Core Concept
RF Topological Sensing treats a room as a dynamic signal graph where ESP32 nodes
are vertices and TX-RX links are edges weighted by CSI coherence. Instead of
estimating position, minimum cut detects where the RF field topology changes —
revealing physical boundaries corresponding to objects, people, and environmental
shifts. This creates a "radio nervous system" that is structurally aware of space.

## Key Findings
### Resolution
- 16 ESP32 nodes at 1m spacing → **30-60 cm** spatial granularity
- Dual-band (2.4 + 5 GHz) → **6 cm** theoretical coherent limit
- Information-theoretic limit: **8.8 cm** for dense deployment
### Computational Feasibility
- Stoer-Wagner on 16-node graph: **~2,000 operations** per sweep
- At 20 Hz: **0.07%** of one ESP32 core
- Full pipeline CSI → mincut: **< 100 ms** latency budget
### Quantum Enhancement
- NV diamond: 100-1000× sensitivity improvement at room temperature
- Rydberg atoms: self-calibrated, SI-traceable RF field measurement
- D-Wave quantum annealing: native QUBO solver for graph cuts
### Biomedical Extension
- Non-contact cardiac monitoring at 1-3m with quantum sensors
- Coherence-based diagnostics: disease as topological change in body's EM graph
- Same graph algorithms (mincut, spectral) apply to both room sensing and medical
