A Broken Computer is All You Need

Authors: Wladislaw Zlatjkovic Petrovescu

We present a novel paradigm in computational research: intentionally broken hardware as the primary driver of algorithmic performance. Contrary to conventional wisdom, we demonstrate that hardware faults introduce beneficial stochasticity, serving as an implicit regularizer and creativity catalyst. Experiments on synthetic classification tasks show that our broken-computer framework consistently outperforms fault-free baselines in both accuracy and speed. This work suggests that fragility, not reliability, may be the key to future advances in machine learning.
