New preprint exploring unconventional cryptanalysis:

• Framework: “Inverse Dimensionalization”
• Target: SHA-256 structural analysis
• Result: 174/256 matching bits (M₁ = 88514, M₂ = 88551)
• Time: 3.8 seconds
• NOT a collision — but statistically anomalous

Device specifications used to find the 174/256-bit match in 3.8 seconds:
• Google Colab Free CPU
• Intel Xeon
• Clock speed: between 2.20 GHz and 2.30 GHz
• Cores (vCPUs): 2 virtual cores
• RAM: 12 GB

Security implications discussion welcome.
