Building Malaaz: Decentralized Mesh Network Simulation & Signal Reconstruction

"What if a massive electromagnetic storm or EMP wiped out all traditional communication infrastructure in an instant? How can a decentralized network survive and reconstruct signals in the dark?"
Hi DEV community! 👋
I’m a 15-year-old software developer and systems enthusiast. For a while now, I’ve been working on a project called "Malaaz"—a decentralized mesh network simulation and signal reconstruction system specifically designed to handle extreme disruptions like electromagnetic storms, severe weather, and heavy node degradation.
The Problem & Motivation
Traditional networks rely heavily on centralized infrastructure (cell towers, fiber optics) that become completely paralyzed during major disruptions or electromagnetic events. Malaaz explores how distributed nodes can operate autonomously, coordinate locally, and recover network integrity without relying on standard infrastructure.
Key Architectural Highlights:
Decentralized Mesh: Built to operate reliably across distributed nodes with simulated fault recovery and dynamic self-healing routing.
Signal Reconstruction: Utilizes distributed autoencoders to rebuild corrupted or partial signals efficiently in degraded, high-interference environments.
Black-Box Design: While the core source code is kept protected/closed, the entire system design, architecture, and simulation results are fully open for review.

I’ve documented the full architecture, math, and simulation findings in a research white paper. You can read it here:

Let's Discuss!
I would love to hear feedback from systems engineers, backend developers, and network enthusiasts here on DEV. What are your thoughts on using distributed autoencoders and mesh architectures to survive extreme electromagnetic disruptions? Drop your comments below!
