Abstract

We develop a comparison, base-change, and descent framework for the algebraic -theory of non-commutative -ary -semirings. Working in the Quillen-exact (and Waldhausen) setting of bi-finite, slot-sensitive -modules and perfect complexes, we construct functorial maps on -theory induced by extension and restriction of scalars under explicit -flatness hypotheses in the relevant positional slots. We prove derived Morita invariance (via tilting bimodule complexes), establish Beck-Chevalley type base-change for cartesian squares, and deduce a projection formula compatible with the multiplicative structure coming from positional tensor products. Passing to the non-commutative -spectrum Spec, we show locality for perfect objects and derive Zariski hyperdescent for , together with excision and localization sequences for closed immersions and fpqc descent for -flat covers. Finally, we interpret geometrically as the -theory of the stable -category of -perfect complexes, describe its universal property in -linear non-commutative motives, and record compatibility with cyclotomic and Chern-type trace maps.
