Could you build this?
No This product represents specialized academic and mathematical research in scientific compression algorithms and physics-conserving numerical methods.
What it would actually take: Building this requires advanced numerical analysis and HPC expertise: formulating closed-form mathematical projection operators that enforce physical conservation laws (such as mass or momentum) onto lossy compressed floating-point grids. The software is written in low-level C/C++ or Fortran and integrated directly into scientific compressors like ZFP or SZ.
