Aleph Filter: To Infinity in Constant Time

Summary: Aleph Filter is a dynamically growing approximate membership filter with O(1) inserts, queries, and deletions regardless of data size. Given an eventual-growth estimate, it preserves static-filter-level memory–FPR tradeoffs—avoiding the usual expansion compromises. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
