What is QIS protocol?

QIS — Quadratic Intelligence Swarm — routes distilled outcome signals via semantic hashes, no raw data or model weights shared.

QIS vs federated learning key differences?

FL shares model weights centrally; QIS shares abstract outcomes peer-to-peer. QIS cuts central risks, comms costs — but lacks FL's maturity.

Will QIS fix healthcare data silos?

Maybe at scale, if sparsity and verification hold. Early days — more promise than proof.
