Cerrado carbon-credit portfolio — QPC on IBM Heron

Brazilian Cerrado ESG portfolio optimization (Ribeiro et al., arXiv:2602.09047): select k = 28 municipalities from n = 88 in Goiás, maximizing carbon, biodiversity, and social impact with spatial synergies. QPC encodes all three objectives as parallel contextures in one IBM submission.

Plain English

What this is
Pick 28 municipalities in Brazil’s Cerrado that best balance carbon, biodiversity, and social impact — using open data from the published Cerrado study.
What QPC computed
Full n=88 instance on IBM Fez · 156Q Heron156 layout (3×52Q contextures) · carbon / biodiversity / social contextures with transjunction bridges · auditable job IDs.
QPC result
Polycontextural decoder portfolio score 44.419 on the full Ribeiro instance · one coupled IBM job · d94mmrnu62ks73967jh0.
What that means
A concrete selection of 28 municipalities that jointly delivers carbon, biodiversity, and social value — the published ESG planning metric, from one polycontextural quantum run on production Heron.

Lane B · Industry pilot. Headline score 44.419 uses QPC’s declared polycontextural decoder on quantum samples from one coupled Heron job — a customer-facing ESG portfolio metric, not an ICC architecture witness.

IBM Fez — Heron156 (July 2026)

Two complementary Fez passes: full Ribeiro n=88 on a shared register, and 156Q Heron width with morphogrammatic padding across three balanced contextures.
