Type-Level Fibonacci Sequence with Dynamic Programming

This challenge explores the fascinating realm of type-level programming in TypeScript, specifically leveraging dynamic programming techniques. We'll be crafting a type that calculates the nth Fibonacci number using a memoization-like approach at the type level, avoiding redundant calculations and optimizing for type safety. This demonstrates how TypeScript's type system can be used to perform computations beyond simple type checking.

Problem Description

You are tasked with creating a TypeScript type Fibonacci<N extends number> that calculates the nth Fibonacci number, where N is a number type. The Fibonacci sequence is defined as follows:

F(0) = 0
F(1) = 1
F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2) for n > 1

The solution must utilize a type-level dynamic programming approach. This means you should avoid recalculating Fibonacci numbers for the same input multiple times. Instead, you should store previously computed Fibonacci numbers in a "memo" (represented as a type) and reuse them. The final type should resolve to a numeric type representing the nth Fibonacci number.

Key Requirements:

The type must be generic, accepting a number type N as input.
The type must correctly calculate the nth Fibonacci number for non-negative integer values of N.
The solution must implement a type-level dynamic programming strategy to avoid redundant calculations. A naive recursive approach will not be considered a correct solution.
The type must resolve to a numeric type (e.g., 1 | 2 | 3 | ...).

Expected Behavior:

Fibonacci<0> should resolve to 0. Fibonacci<1> should resolve to 1. Fibonacci<2> should resolve to 1. Fibonacci<3> should resolve to 2. Fibonacci<4> should resolve to 3. Fibonacci<5> should resolve to 5. And so on...

Edge Cases to Consider:

N being 0 or 1 (base cases).
N being a larger number (demonstrates the efficiency of dynamic programming).
The type system's limitations in handling very large numbers (while not strictly an error, consider how your solution scales).

Examples

Example 1:

Input: Fibonacci<3>
Output: 2
Explanation: F(3) = F(2) + F(1) = 1 + 1 = 2

Example 2:

Input: Fibonacci<5>
Output: 5
Explanation: F(5) = F(4) + F(3) = 3 + 2 = 5

Example 3:

Input: Fibonacci<10>
Output: 55
Explanation:  Calculates F(10) using dynamic programming principles.

Constraints

N must be a number type.
N must be non-negative. While the type system won't enforce this, the solution should be designed with this assumption in mind.
The solution should be reasonably performant in terms of type checking time. Extremely complex or deeply nested type definitions might lead to timeouts.
The solution must be purely type-level; no runtime calculations are allowed.

Notes

Consider using conditional types and recursion to build up the Fibonacci sequence iteratively at the type level.
Think about how to represent the "memo" (previously calculated Fibonacci numbers) as a type. Union types can be helpful here.
The challenge lies in efficiently storing and reusing intermediate results within the type system. A naive recursive approach will be inefficient and likely lead to type checking errors for larger values of N.
This is an advanced TypeScript challenge. It requires a good understanding of conditional types, recursion, and type inference. Start with the base cases and gradually build up the solution.
