A-C Coupling: Structural Design Pattern for Deterministic Data Decomposition

Structural design pattern for deterministic, dimension-independent decomposition of integers into weighted layers. Guarantees O(n) complexity with no search, no allocation, and no backtracking. Defines two structural conditions — Foundation and Chain — that together enable predictable parsing for embedded systems, network protocols, and distributed computing. Reference implementation included.

The mathematical foundations underlying this pattern have been registered with the Benelux Office for Intellectual Property (BOIP)
