A load scheduling architecture based on fractal topology

Abstract

This invention discloses a load scheduling architecture based on fractal topology, comprising self-similar fractal units, each with multiple load sensing points. When some sensing points are triggered, local load splitting is performed; when all sensing points are triggered, a load splitting mode switch is executed. The unit as a whole moves and simultaneously sends trigger signals to adjacent units through all sensing points, activating topological force flow ripples, causing the load to propagate step-by-step along the fractal hierarchy. This invention also discloses applications of this architecture in computer resource scheduling, integrated circuits, micromaterials, and mechanical simulation. This invention overcomes the traditional technical bias of "avoiding dead points" and achieves decentralized adaptive load scheduling.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical load allocation and scheduling technology, specifically to a decentralized load scheduling architecture based on fractal topology, and the application of this architecture in computer resource scheduling, integrated circuit design, microstructure of materials and mechanical simulation. Background Technology

[0002] Local overload problems in mechanical structures, electronic systems, or software systems have long existed under high-load conditions. Traditional solutions mainly include increasing redundant design (leading to increased cost and weight), using centralized schedulers (which have single points of failure and response delays), and utilizing the plastic deformation of the material itself (one-time irreversible). In recent years, research on fractal topology and mechanical metamaterials has shown that self-similar structures can improve stress distribution, but no decentralized force flow ripple transmission mechanism has yet emerged that can actively utilize "topological dead points" as trigger switches and synchronously activate neighboring units through overall translation. In addition, existing mechanical simulation methods suffer from low computational efficiency and convergence difficulties for complex structures involving flexible hinges, multi-point threshold triggering, and state abrupt changes. This invention is proposed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Purpose of the invention This invention provides a load scheduling architecture based on fractal topology, which can automatically switch operating modes (local splitting or diversion mode switching) according to the intensity and number of trigger points of local loads, and synchronously diffuse the load to the entire fractal network in a geometrically inevitable ripple manner, without the need for a central controller. Furthermore, this invention also discloses mapping methods for this architecture in computer resource scheduling, integrated circuits, micromaterials, and mechanical simulation.

[0004] Technical solution A load scheduling architecture based on fractal topology, characterized in that it includes at least one fractal unit; The fractal unit has self-similarity, that is, it contains at least two scales of hierarchical structure, wherein the structure of the larger scale level is isomorphic to the structure of the smaller scale level in terms of topological connection. The fractal unit includes multiple load sensing points at its smallest scale level; When a subset of the multiple load sensing points simultaneously detect a load exceeding a preset threshold, the fractal unit performs partial load splitting. When all of the multiple load sensing points simultaneously sense that the load exceeds a preset threshold, the fractal unit performs a flow splitting mode switch in the following manner: the overall displacement or state of the fractal unit is switched synchronously, and trigger signals are sent to adjacent units through all load sensing points at the same time to activate topological force flow ripples, so that the load propagates outward along the fractal hierarchy level by level. Each fractal unit and its internal sub-units independently perform threshold determination and working mode switching, without the need for a central controller, which is a decentralized self-organizing behavior. Furthermore, the architecture also includes the following technical features (embodied in the dependent claims): Linear or two-dimensional single-layer load transfer networks can be formed between the smallest scale units, independent of the expansion of fractal levels; The fractal layer is composed of self-similar sub-units, forming multi-level force flow transmission paths, including lateral transmission (between sub-units in the same layer) and vertical transmission (between different layers). The smallest unit is constructed by including at least two load receiving parts and associated elastic energy storage elements or energy absorbing media; Topological connection methods between multiple fractal units include, but are not limited to, one-dimensional ring closure, two-dimensional surface closure, three-dimensional spherical closure, and rectangular closure; Elastic energy storage elements include long-lasting elastic media (springs, gas springs, hydraulic dampers, rubber, magnetic springs, electromagnetic actuators, programmable force feedback actuators) and disposable elastic media (foam metals, honeycomb structures, crushable tubes, brittle shells, phase change materials); The above architecture can be applied to computer resource scheduling, integrated circuit design, microstructure of materials, and computer simulation.

[0005] Beneficial effects Decentralized: Each unit makes independent decisions, requiring no central controller, eliminating single points of failure, and ensuring extremely high system robustness. Ultra-low latency: Mode switching is determined by geometric constraints and force balance, with response time on the physical order of magnitude (microseconds to nanoseconds), far exceeding that of software schedulers. Scalability: Fractal topology ensures that the ripple propagation depth increases only logarithmically as the system size increases, with no central bottleneck. Cross-disciplinary uniformity: The same set of mechanical rules can be seamlessly mapped to fields such as mechanics, computers, chips, materials, and simulation, enabling cross-disciplinary technology reuse. Overcoming technical bias: This invention overturns the traditional design thinking of "avoiding dead points" and proposes for the first time the paradigm of "actively utilizing dead points". By transforming dead points into trigger switches and using overall translational motion to synchronously complete dead point decoupling, ripple activation and fractal layer triggering, decentralized self-scheduling at the pure physical level is achieved. Simulation friendliness: The modular fractal units and threshold triggering rules defined in this invention enable flexible fractal structures that are originally difficult to simulate to be efficiently calculated through event-driven methods, which greatly reduces simulation costs.

Figure 6 This is a perspective view of the fractal unit of the present invention with labels. Figure 7 The corresponding small unit is a perspective view with a number. The connection relationship between the fractal unit and the telescopic force transmission lever is clearly shown in the figure. The two figures clearly show the components and assembly relationship of the telescopic force transmission lever.

Figure 8 This is a plan view of the six fractal units of the present invention connected and arranged in a hexagonal structure by force transmission levers, showing the overall planar topological layout from a top perspective; Figure 9 This is a top-view oblique view of a single fractal unit of the present invention. The single fractal unit consists of a large unit and three smaller units arranged on it, which reflects the self-similar fractal characteristics of the present invention. Figure 10This is a cross-sectional view of the intermediate fulcrum position of the telescopic force transmission lever of the present invention. It highlights the telescopic structural form of the telescopic force transmission lever and reveals the mechanism by which the lever can extend or retract axially to adapt to the relative displacement between units when subjected to force. Figure 11 The diagram shows individual parts of the telescopic force transmission lever assembly of the present invention (excluding the pin), illustrating four types of telescopic force transmission levers: small unit avoidance type telescopic force transmission long lever (19), small unit telescopic force transmission long lever (20), large unit telescopic force transmission lever (21), and small unit telescopic force transmission short lever (23).

Figure 13 This is a top view of the two parting units of the present invention after they are connected and assembled via force transmission levers. Figure 14 The two figures show the corresponding oblique top view. They illustrate the specific connection method by which force flow is transmitted between adjacent fractal units through force transmission levers. Figure 15 This is a perspective view of a single fractal unit of the present invention. Figure 16 A top-down view of the same fractal unit after assembling the force transmission lever. Figure 16 The diagram shows the assembly relationship between the force transmission levers (19, 20, 21, 23) and the parting unit, as well as the hinge position between the levers and the unit. Explanation of the accompanying drawings: To clearly illustrate the geometric connections and force transmission paths of the fractal topology of this invention, some components (such as springs, flexible limiting chains, and telescopic force transmission levers) are depicted using simplified schematic diagrams. Those skilled in the art can understand and implement the actual structure and function of these components based on the reference numerals, connection relationships, and textual descriptions in the drawings. These simplified drawings do not constitute insufficient disclosure. Explanation of the overlapping relationship between the hemispherical boss and the hemispherical recess: In the attached diagram, the overlapping of hemispherical bosses and hemispherical recesses between large and small units, and between levers and fulcrums (e.g., the overlapping of the hemispherical boss of the small unit's three-pronged base (9) with the hemispherical recess above the large unit's sleeve-type compression spring assembly, and the cooperation of the hemispherical recess of the small unit's three-point lever (7) with the hemispherical boss-recessed fulcrum (8) of the small unit's three-point lever), functions to achieve centering and allow free vertical displacement between the overlapping parts (similar to a ball joint, but without providing axial clamping force). This overlapping method itself does not constitute a stable fixed connection. In the actual structure, the overall fixation of the fractal unit is accomplished by the external platform (such as a substrate, body, or mounting bracket) and the fulcrum connection of the force transmission lever (e.g., the connection between the universal pin-type hinge fulcrum (22) of the telescopic force transmission lever and the external structure). To clearly illustrate the topological relationship and force flow path of the present invention, the external platform, some fulcrum pins, and other fixing structures are simplified or omitted in the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art can understand and implement the above-mentioned fixing connection method based on the textual description in this specification and conventional mechanical design knowledge. These simplifications do not constitute insufficient disclosure. Statement of Relationships in the Drawings: To more clearly illustrate the structural principles of the present invention, the relative dimensions and spacing of some parts in the drawings have been moderately adjusted (for example, the movement gaps between certain parts are enlarged or reduced, and some movable connections are simplified to contact diagrams). These adjustments do not reflect actual manufacturing dimensions. Those skilled in the art should understand that there are necessary movement gaps and clearances between the parts shown in the drawings, and they are not integral structures or zero-gap contacts. For example, the hinges of levers, the end connections of springs, and the telescopic fits of force transmission rods, etc., will all have reasonable tolerances and gaps in actual manufacturing to ensure smooth movement. These simplified drawings do not constitute insufficient disclosure.

[0007] Terminology Definition In this invention: Overall motion: refers to any directional motion of the fractal unit as a rigid whole after all load sensing points are triggered, including but not limited to overall translation and overall rotation. Overall translation: The displacement vectors of all points on the element are the same (as in Implementation Method 2 and...). Figure 6 As shown in the figure, all load sensing points simultaneously push adjacent units outward along a straight line. Overall rotation: The unit rotates around its geometric center or a fixed point. Because the fractal units of this invention (such as equilateral triangles, squares, regular hexagons, etc.) have rotational symmetry, when a unit rotates by an angle around its center of symmetry, its vertex (load sensing point) moves outward synchronously along an arc trajectory, thus simultaneously pushing adjacent units. Overall rotation is functionally equivalent to overall translation, both achieving the effect of "all load sensing points simultaneously sending trigger signals to adjacent units." Those skilled in the art should understand that overall rotation is a geometrically equivalent replacement for overall translation. The accompanying drawings of this invention use overall translation as an example for illustration, but the scope of protection is not limited to translation. Any rigid movement (including translation, rotation, and combinations thereof) that enables all load sensing points to simultaneously drive adjacent units falls within the scope of "overall movement" of this invention. Fractals / Fractal Topology: refers to structures that exhibit self-similarity across multiple scales, meaning that the local connections are identical to the overall connections. For example, the connection rules between sub-units within a single fractal unit are consistent with the connection rules between multiple fractal units. In this invention, fractals specifically refer to physically realizable structural fractals with force flow transmission capabilities, rather than purely mathematical abstractions. Topology: refers to the connection relationships and spatial layout between units and between parts within a unit. The topology of this invention is a specific, manufacturable physical connection structure, such as a 60° angle arrangement between three-point levers, or the hinge method of a telescopic force transmission lever. Load sensing point: This refers to a specific location on a fractal unit that directly bears external loads and triggers a subsequent response. In mechanical implementations, load sensing points typically correspond to the end of a lever or the connection end of a spring; in computer mapping, they correspond to monitoring points for resource usage indicators. Sensing points do not rely on sensors or electronic components; their "sensing" function is achieved through mechanical deformation and threshold triggering. Topological dead point: refers to a special state in which the force transmission mechanism of a fractal unit locks up due to force balance and cannot deflect when all load sensing points on the unit simultaneously reach a preset threshold. This state is not a malfunction, but rather a "switch" that triggers the response of subsequent fractal layers. Topological force flow ripples: This refers to the phenomenon where, when a fractal unit enters a state of overall translation, all its load sensing points simultaneously send trigger signals to adjacent units, causing the load to propagate outwards along the fractal hierarchy like water waves. This transmission method is characterized by synchronicity, multi-path propagation, and progressive diffusion, distinguishing it from traditional single-path force flow. Decoupling: refers to the process by which the force balance state of a topological dead point is released after it completes its triggering task. In this invention, decoupling is not an independent action, but a necessary accompanying effect of the overall translational motion—when the tripod fulcrum shifts downward, the original force balance lock state is naturally destroyed by the geometric displacement, allowing the force flow to continue to propagate outward. It should be noted that the working conditions are not directly marked in the accompanying drawings. The detailed working process and working conditions of the present invention are given in the following "Detailed Description of Embodiments". Detailed Implementation

[0008] General Instructions The core of this invention lies in setting N load sensing points (N ≥ 2) on a fractal unit. Based on the relationship between the number of triggered sensing points and the total number, the system determines whether to enter a local split mode or switch to a split mode (overall translation + simultaneous pushing of all neighbors + ripple propagation). The value of N can be 2, 3, 4, 5, or any integer greater than or equal to 2. The following description uses the baseline implementation with N=3 (three-point lever two-dimensional honeycomb network) and its simplified implementation with N=2 (two-point lever linear array). The geometric relationship between two-point and three-point structures (intuitive understanding): In the three-point structure, three force transmission arms radiate outward from a base, with an included angle of 120° between adjacent arms, forming an overall "Y" shape (or the shape of the Mercedes-Benz logo), suitable for two-dimensional planar paving. The two-point structure is a natural simplification of the three-point structure: one of the three force transmission arms is removed, and the remaining two force transmission arms are adjusted from the original 120° included angle to 180° extending in opposite straight lines, forming an "I" shape (or a straight line). This change transforms the unit from a two-dimensional planar connection to a one-dimensional linear connection. This simplified logic is completely consistent with the self-similar design rules embodied in all the accompanying drawings of this invention (i.e., when the value of N changes, the number and angle of the transmission arms are adjusted accordingly, but the core triggering logic remains unchanged). Those skilled in the art can also design structures such as N=4 (four-point cross shape, 90° angle) and N=6 (hexagon, 60° angle) based on the teachings of this invention, all without departing from the protection scope of this invention. Implementation Method 1: Two-point lever linear array (N=2, one-dimensional linear topology) – a simplified scheme of three-point structure Structural description: This implementation method is the aforementioned three-point lever structure (Implementation Method 2 and Appendix) Figure 4-9 The direct simplification when N=2 is as follows: Step 1: Take the three force transmission arms in the three-point structure and remove one of them (any one is fine). Step 2: Adjust the remaining two force transmission arms from the original 120° radial angle to a 180° opposing straight line extension (i.e., the two arms are on the same straight line, in opposite directions). Result: The unit as a whole changes from a "Y" shape (or triangular radial shape) to an "I" shape (linear shape), and the connection method changes from a two-dimensional planar shape to a one-dimensional linear shape. Each simplified minimum-scale unit contains two load sensing points (two force transmission arm ends), each force transmission arm end is provided with a load receiving part, and is associated with at least one elastic energy storage element (such as a spring, gas spring, or disposable crushable material). Multiple such units are connected end to end in a straight line to form a one-dimensional linear load transfer network, without fractal layer extension (logical analogy can be drawn with reference to the accompanying drawings of Embodiment 2). Work process: Localized flow splitting mode: When only one load sensing point is subjected to load, the elastic element at that point is compressed, causing the lever to deflect slightly, and the load is transmitted only to the directly adjacent unit (localized flow splitting in the same layer). Load Distribution Mode Switching (Overall Translation and Ripple): When two load sensing points are simultaneously subjected to load, the two levers move simultaneously, and the entire unit enters a force balance lock-up state. The entire unit translates along the axis (without deflection) and simultaneously pushes the two adjacent units on the left and right through the two force transmission arms, activating the topological force flow ripple. This ripple propagates outward step by step along the one-dimensional linear network until all available units on the entire line participate in load distribution. Application scenarios: Cable tension management (bridge stay cables, elevator cables, crane cables) Flexible robotic arm joint chain Linear crash barrier (energy-absorbing highway guardrail) Deployable structure (spatial extension arm) Implementation Method 1 (Variant B): Single-unit independent deployment (no fractal layer, fixed by ball joint) Structural description: This embodiment uses only one independent unit (e.g. Figure 2-3 The small unit shown or Figure 4-5 The large unit shown is not connected to other units and does not contain fractal layer extensions. This unit is mounted to an external platform (such as a base, frame, or building structure) via ball joints (or universal joints, flexible hinges, or joints with multi-degree-of-freedom constraints) below (or around) it. The ball joints are also provided with: Fixing: The unit is constrained to the platform to prevent it from falling off; Multiple degrees of freedom: Allows the unit to generate free deflection or offset within a certain range when subjected to load (such as swinging up and down, rotating slightly), thereby ensuring that the load sensing point can sense the load as expected and trigger mode switching. Operating Procedure: Partial Flow Mode (Partial Triggering): When a portion of the load sensing points (e.g., 1 or 2) are loaded, the unit undergoes partial deflection, and the load is absorbed by the internal elastic element or dissipated through the ball joint displacement. In this mode, the system operates normally. Shunt mode switching (all triggered) – unavailable: When all load sensing points are simultaneously loaded to a preset threshold, the unit will enter a force balance lock-up state, forming a topological dead point. However, since this implementation lacks a fractal layer, the dead point cannot be decoupled (i.e., there is no lower fractal layer spring or energy-absorbing medium to eliminate the dead point), therefore the unit will truly "lock up" and cannot continue to absorb energy or conduct load. This condition should be avoided. Usage recommendations: This implementation method is only applicable to application scenarios where all sensing points will not be overloaded simultaneously (e.g., buffer pads with unidirectional load and controlled peak load), or for demonstrating the principle of partial current sharing. If there is a possibility of all points being triggered, a multi-unit networking scheme including a fractal layer must be used (as in implementation method two). Application scenarios: Independent shock-absorbing pads (equipment feet, whose loads usually do not press on all support points at the same time), single-point collision sensors (only monitor local overloads), simple buffer blocks (only local diversion is needed). Relationship to the claims: This embodiment is a special case of the architecture described in claim 1 when N≥2, there is no fractal layer, and no neighboring units, but its functionality is limited to localized flow splitting. The network in claim 2 that "does not depend on fractal layer expansion" (such as a linear or two-dimensional single layer) can still have multiple units, decoupled through neighbors; however, this embodiment only represents a single isolated unit and cannot be decoupled. Those skilled in the art should understand that when global flow splitting capability is required, a fractal layer or multi-unit network must be configured. Implementation Method 2: Three-point lever two-dimensional hexagonal network (N=3, two-dimensional planar topology) – corresponding to the structure shown in the attached diagram. Structural description: Reference Figures 2-3 and Figures 4-5 1. The large and small units in this embodiment include a three-pronged base (9) (18), a three-point lever (7) (16), a sleeve-type compression spring pressure assembly (1) (10) and a sleeve-type compression spring tension assembly (2) (11), a long chain link flexible limiter (3) (12) and a short chain link flexible limiter (4) (13). Each lever has a hemispherical recessed lap fulcrum at the bottom and is hinged by a long pin (5) (14) or a short pin (6) (15). The telescopic force transmission levers (20, 21, 23) are hinged by a universal pin-type hinge fulcrum for telescopic force transmission levers, and the lever body has a telescopic structure (such as...). Figure 10 (As shown in the cross-section), it allows for the transmission of thrust axially while accommodating relative displacement between elements. Multiple small elements are spliced ​​with large elements at a 60° angle to form a honeycomb-like two-dimensional single-layer or fractal multi-layer network. In this embodiment, N=3. Work process: Partial splitting mode: When only a single lever is compressed, the upper spring at that end is compressed, causing the lever to deflect downwards. Due to the constraints of the two flexible limiters, the lever deflects while the five elastic components (excluding the lower elastic component which is idle) are compressed and stretched respectively, achieving coordinated energy absorption by the five springs. At the same time, the force is transmitted to adjacent units (partial diversion within the same layer) through the telescopic force transmission lever. When the load increases further, it can trigger ripples in the same layer of topological force flow and energy absorption by a single spring in the fractal layer, but it still falls within the category of local flow division. Flow splitting mode switching (overall translation and ripple) and dead point decoupling: Three-point simultaneous loading and dead point formation: When three levers are simultaneously compressed to a preset threshold, the three forces balance, causing the lever system to lock up and the unit to be unable to deflect, thus forming a topological dead point. Downward movement equates to decoupling: Under sustained load, the entire element is forced to move downward along the load direction (the three-pronged pivot shifts downward). This translational motion itself constitutes dead-point decoupling—the original force equilibrium locked state is naturally disrupted by geometric displacement, the dead point naturally dissipates, and it no longer constrains the force flow. Decoupling is not an independent event, but rather an inevitable accompanying effect of translational movement. Simultaneously activating ripples and the fractal layer: As the movement downwards, one end of the telescopic force transmission levers (which can extend and retract to compensate for displacement) in three directions is pressed down, rotating around the fulcrum, while the other end lifts up the three adjacent units, sending trigger signals to the adjacent units and activating the topological force flow ripples of this layer. At the same time, this downward movement causes the units to press down, triggering the elastic elements of the lower fractal layer to absorb energy; if the load is large enough, the fractal layer will also enter ripple mode, achieving global flow diversion. If adjacent units are also in a fully triggered state, the ripples propagate outwards step by step, and eventually all available fractal units enter into a global translation, enabling the load to propagate along the fractal hierarchy to the edge of the system. Instantaneous impact equivalent: When the instantaneous load on a single endpoint exceeds the second threshold, the upper elastic component at that endpoint is extremely compressed, and through leverage, it drives the other four elastic components (i.e., the upper elastic components and corresponding lower elastic components at the other two endpoints) to deform and absorb energy in tandem. It should be noted that the elastic component below the loaded endpoint is in an unused state due to flexible limiting and does not participate in this process. When the tandem deformation of the five elastic components (the upper elastic component at the loaded endpoint + the other four) reaches a critical state, the entire unit is forced to move downwards, equivalent to triggering all three points, subsequently triggering the complete chain of "movement downwards - decoupling - ripple effect - triggering the fractal layer". Force transmission characteristics of telescopic force transmission lever: The telescopic force transmission levers (19, 20, 21, 23) of the present invention transmit tensile and compressive loads through their axial stiffness, compensate for the displacement difference caused by the downward movement of the telescopic structure, and convert the downward movement into the upward movement of the adjacent unit through the lever fulcrum, thereby ensuring the reliable transmission of force ripples. Regarding the overall rotation: The fractal unit (such as the three-point lever unit) of this invention has 120° rotational symmetry. When the three load sensing points are triggered simultaneously, the effect of the unit rotating 120° is completely equivalent to the effect of overall translation: the three vertices move outward simultaneously, pushing adjacent units. Therefore, the overall rotation is a natural equivalent deformation of the overall translation. Those skilled in the art can understand and implement the implementation of the overall rotation without additional drawings. Application scenarios: Automotive collision protection and energy absorption structures (bumpers, door impact beams, battery pack protective plates) High-speed train collision buffer structure (energy absorption zone at the front of the train, anti-climb device, deformation zone at the end of the carriage). Building / structure vibration reduction and protection (seismic isolation bearings, seismic damping walls) Sports protective equipment (helmets, armor linings) Industrial equipment vibration damping base Implementation Method 2 (Variant A): Three-point lever bidirectional tension / compression spring structure (without lower limit) Structural description: This variant is based on the three-point lever unit in Implementation Method 2, with the following modifications to the spring configuration and limit: Replace the sleeve-type compression spring tension assembly (originally for tension work) below each end with a bidirectional tension-compression spring (which can withstand both compression and tension). One end of the bidirectional tension / compression spring is hinged to the pin hole at the bottom of the three-point lever via a pin (similar to the installation method of the upper spring), and the other end is fixed to the base or the lower structure. Remove the original short link flexible limiter (the part originally used to limit the travel of the inverted spring). The rest of the components (base, three-point lever, upper spring, long chain link flexible limit, telescopic force transmission lever, etc.) remain unchanged. Because the units of this invention possess self-similarity, the above modifications also apply to large units. The overall arrangement of this variant can still be pieced together to form a honeycomb-like two-dimensional single-layer or multi-layer fractal network. Work process: Partial splitting mode (single-point or two-point load): When a single lever endpoint is compressed, the upper spring at that endpoint compresses, causing the lever to deflect downwards. Due to the flexible limit and hinge constraint, the bidirectional tension / compression spring below that endpoint is compressed (rather than the sleeve-type compression spring tension assembly being stretched). Simultaneously, the lever deflection pulls the bidirectional tension / compression springs at the other two endpoints through the central fulcrum, causing them to be under tension. Therefore, this variant is activated in total: Three upper springs: one is actively compressed, and the other two are compressed in the opposite direction due to lever offset; Three bidirectional tension and compression springs: one compression spring and two tension springs. A total of six springs work together to absorb energy, one more energy-absorbing element than in Embodiment 2. Since the lower limit is removed, the lever's offset stroke is determined only by the spring stiffness and geometric constraints, with no hard stop point, resulting in a smoother load-displacement characteristic. Traffic splitting mode switching (three points under simultaneous load): When all three levers are simultaneously compressed to a preset threshold, a topological dead point is formed, similar to implementation method two. As the load increases, the entire unit is forced to translate downwards. This translational motion also constitutes dead point decoupling and simultaneously compresses all three bidirectional tension and compression springs (which are all in a compressed state at this time), and drives the telescopic force transmission levers in three directions to synchronously push adjacent units, activating topological force flow ripples and energy absorption by the lower fractal layer. illustrate: This variant is completely identical to Implementation Method 2 in its core functional logic—both achieve "partial triggering → localized flow splitting, full triggering → overall translation + ripple." The only difference lies in the configuration and limiting form of the elastic element. This demonstrates the adaptability of the invention's architecture: depending on the different requirements of the application scenario regarding elastic stroke, energy absorption, or number of parts, those skilled in the art can employ different types of elastic elements and limiting schemes, all without departing from the protection scope of this invention. This variant does not rely on additional drawings; those skilled in the art can refer to... Figures 4-9 Based on the textual description of Implementation Method 2 and the above-described modifications, the structure can be deduced and implemented. Explanation of other N values ​​(N ≥ 2) The technical solution of this invention is not limited to N = 2 or N = 3. For N = 4, the four force transmission arms can be arranged at 90° intervals to form a cross-shaped two-dimensional network; for N = 6, they can be arranged at 60° intervals to form a hexagonal network; for larger N values, this can be achieved by uniformly distributing the force transmission arms. These variations are all based on the same core rule: partial triggering → localized flow splitting, full triggering → overall translation + simultaneous pushing of all neighbors + ripple propagation. Therefore, they should all be considered to fall within the protection scope of this invention. Implementation Method 3: Computer Resource Scheduling and Mapping The aforementioned fractal units are mapped to scheduling entities (processes / threads / containers) in the operating system, and load sensing points are mapped to resource usage states such as CPU load, memory utilization, or task queue length. When fewer than all sensing points exceed a threshold, task migration (partial load sharing) occurs only on the local core; when all sensing points simultaneously exceed the threshold, the scheduling entity state switches synchronously, and tasks ripple through the fractal topology to all idle cores, achieving hierarchical cascading load migration. This process requires no central scheduler and is entirely driven by local threshold determination, offering advantages such as lock-free operation, low latency, and linear scalability. Application scenarios: Task scheduling in cloud computing data centers, edge computing nodes, and high-performance computing clusters. Implementation Method 4: Integrated Circuit Architecture Mapping In many-core chips, each computing core acts as a fractal unit, and the data / instruction flow status serves as a load sensing point. When some cores are overloaded, only adjacent cores are activated (partial load sharing); when all input channels are overloaded simultaneously, the cores switch to load sharing mode, synchronously reconfiguring the data path and broadcasting the data flow to all cores in a ripple manner for bursty parallel computing. This architecture significantly reduces on-chip network congestion and improves chip energy efficiency. Application scenarios: GPU / AI accelerators, multi-core CPUs, reconfigurable chips. Implementation Method 5: Microstructure Mapping of Materials Design mechanical metamaterials with fractal pores or grain arrangements, where the local stress / strain of each grain serves as a load sensing point. When macroscopic loads cause some grains to yield, localized flow occurs; when grains in all directions simultaneously reach the yield threshold, the material as a whole undergoes coordinated displacement (similar to a phase transition), rapidly dissipating stress waves in a ripple-like manner to prevent localized fracture. Disposable elastic media (such as foamed metals and honeycomb structures) can still perform triggering functions after plastic collapse, making them suitable for disposable impact-resistant scenarios. Application scenarios: lightweight, high-strength energy-absorbing materials (automotive energy-absorbing boxes, helmet liners), intelligent impact-resistant coatings. Implementation Method Six: Mapping of Mechanical Simulation Methods This invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements a load scheduling simulation method based on fractal topology. The method includes: constructing a fractal unit model (self-similar, multi-level); setting load sensing points and thresholds; invoking a local splitting or diversion mode switching algorithm based on the triggering state of some / all sensing points during simulation; and calculating overall translation and ripple propagation through an event-driven approach. This method can be integrated into finite element analysis software, multibody dynamics simulation, game physics engines, or 3D modeling tools for efficiently simulating the dynamic load response of flexible fractal topologies. Application scenarios include: virtual simulation of car collisions, seismic analysis of buildings, physical damage effects in games, and virtual reality interaction. Implementation Method 7: Topological Closure Schemes (One-dimensional Ring, Two-dimensional Surface Closure, Three-dimensional Spherical Closure, and Rectangular Closure) This section corresponds to the various topological closure methods described in claim 5, and represents a further extension of the present invention in two-dimensional and three-dimensional space. (1) One-dimensional closed loop Structure: Multiple fractal units (N = 2 or N = 3) are connected end to end to form a closed loop. For example, the two-point linear unit array in Implementation Method 1 is bent into a loop, and the first and last units are connected by an additional telescopic force transmission lever to form a closed loop in which the force flow can circulate. Working principle: When a point on the ring is subjected to a radial or tangential load, the local flow-dividing mode is activated. When the load is large enough to cause multiple (or all) elements on the ring to enter a "fully triggered" state, the overall translational ripples will propagate simultaneously in both directions of the ring, eventually forming a circulating force flow within the ring. The load is uniformly absorbed by the entire ring structure and will not concentrate at any one point. This closure ensures the continuity of the force flow and avoids end reflections. Application scenarios: Circular shock-absorbing track (Ferris wheel cabin suspension), tire tread inner support, pressure equalization structure of pipe clamps, dynamic balancing buffer ring of rotating machinery. (2) Two-dimensional surface closure (double-layer or multi-layer structure) Structure: Fractal units are arranged in a double or multi-layered flat plate (e.g., two layers of three-point honeycomb units connected by vertical force transmission rods). The load on one side can be transmitted to the other side through the vertical force transmission rods. Working principle: When a region within the plane is subjected to a normal load (such as a collision), the front unit is impacted. If a local unit triggers all thresholds, the entire structure translates while simultaneously transferring the load to the back unit via vertical force transmission rods. The back unit then diffuses the load outwards in a ripple manner, ultimately absorbing the energy throughout the entire double-layer structure. The force flow enters from the front and diffuses from the back, forming a closed loop (front → back → dispersion → front edge). Application scenarios: double-layer car floor (load is transferred to the bottom layer for diffusion during frontal collision), double-layer seismic isolation floor slab in buildings, double-sided energy absorption design of impact-resistant walls, and composite buffer floor at the bottom of high-speed train carriages. (3) Three-dimensional spherical closure Structure: Fractal units are laid on a spherical or ellipsoidal surface. The curvature of the surface is adapted by adjusting the fulcrum length of the telescopic force transmission lever (changing the lever ratio), and all units form a closed network (without boundaries) on the spherical surface. Working principle: When a point on the spherical surface is subjected to radial impact, a local element is triggered. If multiple elements around the impact point are all triggered, ripples will propagate simultaneously along the latitude and longitude of the spherical surface, eventually converging near the heliocentric point or forming a circulating force flow around the spherical surface. The load is uniformly absorbed by the entire spherical shell, and there are no stress concentration points. Application scenarios: External anti-collision nets for spherical pressure vessels (such as liquefied gas storage tanks), and collision buffers for spherical amusement facilities. (4) Rectangular closure (three-dimensional rectangular box closure) Structure: Fractal units are arranged on the six faces (top, bottom, left, right, front, and back) of a rectangular plate (such as a square or rectangle). Inside each face, the lever arm of the fractal unit does not exceed the edge of that face; that is, the unit as a whole is recessed within the face. Fixed fulcrums are set at the eight corners (vertices) of the rectangle. Units on each face are connected to these corner fulcrums via telescopic force transmission levers, and fulcrums on adjacent faces are also connected to each other via telescopic force transmission levers (for example, units on the edge of the top plane are connected to corner fulcrums, and the fulcrums are then connected to units on the side at a 90° angle). Working principle: When a face of a rectangle (such as the top plane) is subjected to a load, the fractal units on that face partially distribute the load. If the load is large enough to trigger all units on that face, the units as a whole will displace (translation or rotation), and the load will be transferred to the corner fulcrum through telescopic force transmission levers. The fulcrum then distributes the load to the adjacent side faces in a 90° direction. The side units continue to transmit the load, ultimately causing the load to circulate on all six faces of the rectangle, forming a closed force flow loop. This closed loop effectively avoids stress concentration at the edges and corners, improving the overall impact resistance of the rectangular structure. Application scenarios: cubic-shaped anti-collision boxes, hexahedral cushioning packaging, and modular building unit connection nodes.
