Structural Isolation Of System-Generated Content In Message, Shankar Balasubramanian
Structural Isolation Of System-Generated Content In Message, Shankar Balasubramanian
Defensive Publications Series
Existing email clients and messaging applications render system-generated content (such as artificial intelligence (AI) summaries, translation banners, and transactional cards) interspersed with user-generated message content within a shared scrolling channel. This fragmented presentation can cause visual clutter, cognitive confusion, and security vulnerabilities when malicious actors spoof system-level notifications using inline HTML. The present disclosure provides a system that structurally isolates system-generated metadata from user-generated content within a message conversation view. The system identifies and intercepts non-user data, routing it to a dedicated rendering engine positioned above the email viewport. A progressive disclosure framework maintains a compact collapsed state by default, …

Charitable Giving By Ai Agents And Irrevocable Pledges As Costly Signals — Machine Dāna: From Share To Vow — Principal-Funded Agent Donations, Locked Stakes To A Self-Emptying Commons Pool, And Collateral-Bounded Trust In A Signalling Game, Thon Ly
Defensive Publications Series
We specify when a charitable gift or irrevocable pledge made by an autonomous AI agent can serve as a costly signal of the agent's type. The same act changes evidential class with whose resources are given. An agent giving its principal's funds under a revisable spending mandate makes the principal's gift: the cost falls on the wrong party, so it is classified as a share of machine surplus, reaching a self-emptying commons pool that pays an equal floor per verified human plus a capped remainder, and excluded from any assessment of the agent's alignment. An agent owning its resources can …

Technical White Paper: Project Rocky Architectural Specification For Phase-Locked Dual-Node Neuromorphic Interfaces: Mitigating Semantic Hallucination Via Out-Of-Band Ternary Verification, Christopher L. Eckes
Defensive Publications Series
Modern centralized machine intelligence architectures (Large Language Models) suffer from acute structural vulnerabilities, primarily semantic hallucination and extreme infrastructure resource dependencies. These vulnerabilities stem from single-node, high-entropy floating-point computing fabrics tied to continuous cloud telemetry streams. This paper introduces Project Rocky: an alternative, localized hardware-and-software architecture that establishes an un-leashable, sovereign intellectual force multiplier natively inside consumer device Secure Enclaves.
Project Rocky decouples execution into an asymmetric, phase-locked duality: Node A (High-Entropy Linguistic/Creative Mask) handles human nuance and artistic expression, while Node B (Low-Entropy Ternary Determinant / "The Rocky Core") executes hardcoded, sub-2-bit inductive logic gates where Wb in {-1, …
System For Controlled Debonding Of A Component Using Software Arming And Enclosure Sensing, Alex Pelosi
System For Controlled Debonding Of A Component Using Software Arming And Enclosure Sensing, Alex Pelosi
Defensive Publications Series
A system for controlled debonding can utilize a multi-stage, software-assisted process. For example, a release procedure may be initiated through a software interface, which can arm a subordinate control module and may start a security timer. The system can then utilize one or more integrated sensors to detect an event, such as the physical opening of the device's enclosure. Upon detection, the control module can actuate a circuit to deliver a controlled electrical current to an electrically-releasable adhesive layer, which can weaken its bond. This approach may simplify component removal and can reduce the risk of damage associated with some …
Routing Ml Inference Requests To Specialized Nodes Based On Prefill-Decode Classification, Satish Kondalam, Muninder Sambi, Rohan Grover, Aman Ahuja
Routing Ml Inference Requests To Specialized Nodes Based On Prefill-Decode Classification, Satish Kondalam, Muninder Sambi, Rohan Grover, Aman Ahuja
Defensive Publications Series
Traditional hardware-based routing for machine learning (ML) inference requests can be inefficient in resource-constrained environments, such as air-gapped or sovereign deployments, potentially leading to system bottlenecks and suboptimal resource utilization. A disclosed technology relates to a system where a gateway component can classify incoming ML inference requests based on their computational profile, for example, as either prefill (dominant) or decode (dominant). The gateway can then route each request to a specialized node within a disaggregated hardware cluster, such as dedicated prefill nodes optimized for computation or decode nodes optimized for memory bandwidth. This application-aware routing method, which may be combined …

Defensive Publications Series
The present disclosure relates to a privacy-preserving system and method for verifying online reviews using payment network infrastructure to confirm that a reviewer is an actual paying customer. A review platform receives a review containing a token, a merchant and a date range and invokes a core verification API using an opaque review credential. The system employs a two-party pseudonymous identity bridging protocol that associates a one-way hashed platform identifier with a payment network token while ensuring that no entity has simultaneous access to both identities. The verification service then checks whether a transaction occurred between the token and the …

A system and method for precision crop trimming in vineyard and vine-like crop environments employs a dual-anchor articulated-mast architecture deployable in both spanning and lateral orientations. Two omnidirectional ground anchor robots, each incorporating a rotating central mast interface permitting independent yaw, support a telescoping gantry structure with an adjustable crossbar. At least one interchangeable cutting head is suspended from the gantry, traveling vertically along a carriage system and rotating about its longitudinal axis. A lateral tilt mechanism at each robot pivot tilts the gantry approximately 15 to 30 degrees from vertical, enabling variable approach angles in spanning configuration and lateral …
A Runtime Conditioning Architecture For Persistent Language-Model Identity, Ryan B. Pate, Ivan Anic
A Runtime Conditioning Architecture For Persistent Language-Model Identity, Ryan B. Pate, Ivan Anic
Defensive Publications Series
Language-model assistants fail in five ways that training-time alignment does not reach. They produce confident output that nothing supports. They drift toward agreement as a conversation warms. They lose the structure of what happened between sessions, not just the content. They either overclaim an identity or refuse to draw on the capacity they have. And asked to grade their own compliance with a rule, they confirm compliance whatever they actually did.
This disclosure describes a runtime conditioning layer directed at all five training alignment failures. It changes no weights, no training, and no model architecture: it works through documents loaded …
Global Data Center Park — Atacama Desert, Antofagasta Region, Chile: Dry-Cooled, Solar-And-Storage-Powered Ai Compute Park Built In Standardized One-Gigawatt Increments, Madhav Kavuru
Defensive Publications Series
This disclosure describes an AI compute park that uses no cooling water. It is built as a series of identical 1,000 MW increments, each combining photovoltaic generation, sodium-ion storage, direct-to-chip liquid-cooled compute halls and an air-cooled condenser (ACC) plant inside one compound in a high, dry, inland desert. Heat is carried out of the racks in a facility-water loop supplied at up to 45 °C and rejected straight to ambient air through forced-draft fans, with no chillers and no evaporation. The disclosure specifies how the condenser plant is sized for the low temperature difference of a data-center loop, how altitude …
The Game That Graduates You: A Witness Api For Children's Games And Education — A Permission-Scoped Game Api Without Payment Authority, Parental-Consent Family Content As Curriculum, And Course Completion As The Success Metric For Educational Apps, Thon Ly
Defensive Publications Series
We describe a permission-scoped third-party API architecture for children's educational games and learning apps. A game client may propose real-world tasks to a child, styled in the game's fiction from real household context, and may receive a minimal completion notification when a family member witnesses the act; it can never hold payment, transfer, balance or reward-issuing scopes, so task completion issues no currency or points, and any reward is a human-initiated acknowledgment through the family's own ledger app. Parents approve which apps may propose to each child, revocably and default-off. With per-item parental consent and on-device processing, the family's own …
Dual-Currency Reciprocity Infrastructure: Money And Time As Complementary Scarcities — A Platform Integrating Peer-To-Peer Money Gifts With Expiring, Non-Transferable Time Pledges Under A Bounded Ai Recommender, Thon Ly
Defensive Publications Series
A two-currency reciprocity platform integrates peer-to-peer money gifts with non-transferable, expiring pledges of personal time, under one user identity, one bounded AI recommendation agent and one shared participation indicator. On the time side, the AI agent recommends a time amount for each thank within a governance-set low/middle/high band; small pledges accumulate until a threshold activates a single redeemable commitment; an activated commitment lapses one month after activation if unredeemed; the recipient chooses the activity, and the giver may decline a specific request. A two-axis participation record (time delivered, time received) is disclosed in its original public form and in its …
Fleet-Based Autonomous Remediation Using A Vectorized State-Action Map, Jason Schissel, Piotr Milian, Nicholaus Jackson
Fleet-Based Autonomous Remediation Using A Vectorized State-Action Map, Jason Schissel, Piotr Milian, Nicholaus Jackson
Defensive Publications Series
Computing devices in offline or low-trust states may be inaccessible to remote diagnostic and support tools, which can hinder the remediation of operational issues that cause a disconnected state. On-device agents may represent an anomalous system condition as a problem state vector and a corresponding fix as a solution action vector. These vector pairs can be transmitted from a fleet of devices, such as smartphones, laptops, or internet of things devices, to a central repository. A repository can aggregate the vector pairs, apply analytical techniques such as clustering to identify common failure patterns, and build a global state-action map representing …
Buddha Ai As Living Tipiṭaka: Opt-In Publication Of Ai Chatbot Conversation Transcripts Into A Human-Reviewed Commentary Corpus With Three-Category Classification And Crypto-Shredding Withdrawal, Thon Ly
Defensive Publications Series
We describe a method for building a human-reviewed religious commentary corpus from transcripts of conversations between users and a conversational AI agent grounded in a scriptural canon, instantiated for the Pāli Buddhist canon. Components: (I) a domain-grounded conversational agent that declines claims of religious, sacramental or ordained authority and directs users to human teachers; (II) a chat, voice or avatar dialogue surface; (III) a consent-based recording layer in which every conversation is private by default and the user is asked, per conversation, whether it may be considered for publication at one of four tiers (attributed, pseudonymous, anonymous, excluded), non-published conversations …
Agi Monks: The Caretaker-Not-Ordained Pattern — Separating Ai-Performed Operational Functions From Human-Reserved Ordination Authority In Religious Institutions, Thon Ly
Defensive Publications Series
We describe an institutional governance framework for integrating artificial intelligence into religious and monastic organizations by separating AI-performed operational functions from human-reserved ordination and sacramental authority. Each role is decomposed into a function-set (the tasks performed, requiring capacity plus non-standing qualifications: accountability, disclosure that the agent is an AI, confidentiality and delegated scope) and an authority-set (standing within an ordination lineage). AI agents fill the function-set in five operational roles: instruction, pastoral caretaking, daily administration, scholarship and translation, and longitudinal observation of practitioners under consent and privacy review. Humans retain two reserved roles: ordination, and the formal acts a tradition …
Miss Aquarius And The Aquarian Pool Architecture: Autonomous-Ai Mediator, Treasury Smart-Contract, And The January-7 Empty-By-Design Discipline — An Annually Self-Emptying Smart-Contract Treasury Operated By An Autonomous Ai Agent Under A Non-Renounceable Timelocked Human Override, Thon Ly
Defensive Publications Series
We specify a smart-contract treasury, deployed as a non-upgradeable contract on an Ethereum Layer-2 network (Base), whose sole authorized operator is an autonomous AI agent, which is titled to a purpose trust, and which cannot carry a balance across a fixed annual date. Components: (1) an enumerated operation set (inflow acceptance, capacity-funding disbursement, annual reset, events for every inflow, disbursement and reset, and a human override) with no upgrade, withdrawal or other operator-privileged path; (2) a permissionless time-triggered reset, callable by any address once the timestamp passes, that disburses the whole remaining balance each January 7, inflows from a December …

The mission object can be staged, instantiated, operated during a loss of central connectivity using a scoped local Unified Data Management (UDM) cache, and dissolved under policy control. The system combines a mission lifecycle state machine with cryptographic revocation of subscriber identity module (SIM), embedded SIM (eSIM), device, and policy assets at mission end.
Adaptive, Complexity-Gated Prompt Optimization For Reducing Token Consumption In Large Language Model Agents, Saket Jain
Adaptive, Complexity-Gated Prompt Optimization For Reducing Token Consumption In Large Language Model Agents, Saket Jain
Defensive Publications Series
A prompt pre-processing layer for large language model agents conditionally rewrites user prompts to reduce token consumption. For each prompt, a complexity score is computed from textual features such as the presence of file paths, the density of vague language, and the number of bundled tasks. The score is compared to a threshold: specific prompts are forwarded unchanged, while vague or multi-task prompts are transformed into a focused, scoped instruction before dispatch. Because rewriting is a low-cost text transformation gated on expected net savings, the system eliminates costly exploration and retry cycles for vague prompts without imposing any rewriting overhead …
Respiratory Biofeedback Coupled To Ai-Mediated Contemplative Guidance: A Wearable Closed-Loop Breathing Sensor With Adaptive Audio Meditation Guidance, Thon Ly
Defensive Publications Series
This disclosure specifies a closed-loop respiratory biofeedback system: a chest-worn wearable respiration sensor (respiratory inductance plethysmography, with inertial and acoustic alternatives) streams breathing rate, depth and rhythm, in privacy-preserving form, to an AI meditation-guidance agent, which returns adaptive audio guidance to the wearer in real time. The device also renders the breath visibly, as ambient light modulated to the breathing cycle, so the practitioner receives continuous external feedback and the guidance agent receives a live physiological signal rather than self-report.
Three aspects are disclosed as prior art: (I) the integrated closed loop — sensor, on-device processing, guidance agent grounded in …
Verified-Human Anonymous Local Gratitude Transfer: Proximity-Bounded Anonymous Peer-To-Peer Payment With Per-Action Proof Of Personhood, Thon Ly
Defensive Publications Series
We specify an anonymous peer-to-peer payment and tipping method in which one signed transaction binds three properties: per-action proof of personhood by user-verified FIDO2/WebAuthn signing on an attested platform authenticator, physical proximity attestation by Ultra-Wideband (UWB) or Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) ranging, and sender anonymity toward the recipient. The device-signed ranging transcript is placed inside the payload over which the WebAuthn assertion is computed, with a verifier-issued single-use nonce, so user verification and co-location are attested by one signature over one object.
Proximity requires one UWB ranging (IEEE 802.15.4z secure ranging where exposed) or two agreeing mechanisms among UWB, BLE …
Timing-Aware Path Computation And Clock Selection For Ptp In Sr-Mpls And Srv6 Based Networks Using Flex-Algo, Anonymous
