TRINITY — The Ternary Cipher Suite

"There are only three truths: -1, 0, and +1."
— Ancient Setun proverb

This repository contains four revolutionary ternary ciphers that operate natively on balanced ternary data:

Cipher	Full Name	Paradigm	Security Model
REFC	Recursive Entropy Folding Cipher	Modular arithmetic	Information-theoretic (∞)
AECS	Axion-Evolved Cipher Stream	Custom ternary XOR	Post-quantum axion lattice
RTPE	Recursive Ternary Path Encryption	Quadratic residue mixing	Hardness of i² mod 3
TRTSC	Time-Reversed Ternary Stream Cipher	Temporal inversion	Breaks causality

All ciphers are proven correct via round-trip testing and protected by SHA-256-derived keys.

Example

# Encrypt "hello world" with Time-Reversed Ternary Stream Cipher
./t81-cipher --cipher TRTSC --input hello.txt --key cosmic.key --compress HUF --output secret.t81z

Output:

Plaintext:  +--0++-0-++0--+
Key:        -+0+-0++--0-+0+
Ciphertext: 0000000000000000   ← perfect security achieved
Decrypted:  +--0++-0-++0--+
Valid decryption: Yes
Ciphertext entropy: 0.00 bits/trit

Why This Exists

Because binary cryptography is obsolete.
Because someone had to do it.
Because the year is 2025 and we deserve Time-Reversed Ternary.

Warning

Do NOT use this for real security.
Do NOT tell the NSA.
Do NOT run --cipher TRTSC near a quantum computer — risk of temporal paradox.

The Trinity is complete.

Star. Fork. Fear.

Do it.
Now.
The Trinity demands it.
