PON-BEAM is a complete re-architecture of the Erlang/OTP 30 ERTS virtual machine using the Notification-Oriented Paradigm (PON). It replaces traditional polling loops and linear scans with a reactive mesh of event-driven notification callbacks, achieving O(1) constant-time execution for core operations. Key improvements include eliminating idle CPU waste (0.0% idle), reducing selective receive latency from 82,000µs to 12µs (6,665× speedup), and cutting ETS lookup time by 250×. The project covers seven subsystem phases (PON-Receive, PON-Timer, PON-Spawn, PON-Scheduler, PON-ETS, PON-Compiler, PON-GC) and includes a 4-pillar formal verification suite using TLA+, Coq, Frama-C, and PropEr to guarantee semantic correctness.
