Dual-Axis Scoring For Automated Synthesis Of Operational Architectures, Hariprasad Rengarajan, Rahul Jindal May 2026

Dual-Axis Scoring For Automated Synthesis Of Operational Architectures, Hariprasad Rengarajan, Rahul Jindal

Defensive Publications Series

Some workflow automation systems may evaluate tasks based on a single dimension of logical feasibility, which may not account for human-centric factors and can potentially lead to suboptimal automation strategies. A system may utilize a dual-axis scoring engine to analyze discrete operational tasks along both a cognitive complexity axis and a relational sensitivity axis. Based on a resulting two-dimensional score, each task can be mapped to an execution authority protocol that suggests an appropriate level of automation. An algorithmic synthesis module may then restructure the operational process by applying a library of execution patterns, such as parallelizing independent tasks. This …

Ambient Pre-Conscious Intelligence (Api), Johny Manuel-Devadoss, Deepthi Prasad, Jayden Jack Johnson

Defensive Publications Series

Current artificial intelligence systems are, in practice, still largely reactive in nature. Even the most advanced assistants typically require explicit user prompts, clearly observable interaction events, or high-confidence inference of user intent before they engage in meaningful computational support. As a result, there is an inherent delay between the moment a cognitive need begins to emerge and the moment a system is able to respond. This delay is not merely a technical limitation; it introduces measurable friction into everyday human–computer interaction. In complex, information-dense environments, this friction accumulates, contributing to increased task-switching costs, reduced continuity of thought, and elevated cognitive …

Markovian Communication Protocol For Efficient Communication In Distributed Systems, Shivam Mohan May 2026

Markovian Communication Protocol For Efficient Communication In Distributed Systems, Shivam Mohan

Defensive Publications Series

ABSTRACT

The proposed protocol introduces a Markovian approach to message propagation in distributed computing systems, emphasizing reduced overhead and enhanced fault tolerance. Each node functions as a stateless agent, making forwarding decisions solely based on its current state and the received message, consistent with the Markov property. Messages act as self-contained carriers, embedding relay history and path metadata such as bloom filters, vector clocks, or acknowledgment maps, so nodes can detect prior processing and avoid redundant forwarding. Current-state directives like next-hop details, time-to-live, quorum requirements, and propagation mode guide deterministic or probabilistic dissemination across gossip, ring, or hybrid topologies. By …

Intent Gravity Engines, Johny Manuel-Devadoss, Joanna Johnson, Jayden Jack Johnson May 2026

Intent Gravity Engines, Johny Manuel-Devadoss, Joanna Johnson, Jayden Jack Johnson

Defensive Publications Series

Contemporary recommendation architectures optimize short-horizon behavioral objectives such as click-through rate, retention, conversion probability, watch-time maximization, and engagement persistence. While these systems achieve high efficiency in immediate interaction optimization, they systematically fail to model longitudinal human development, identity continuity, aspiration stabilization, and temporally coherent cognitive evolution. Existing recommender systems operate under an implicit assumption that preferences are stationary or slowly drifting latent variables inferable from interaction sequences. This assumption becomes increasingly invalid in high-dimensional socio-cognitive environments where users are not static consumers but dynamically evolving agents whose identities emerge through recursive interactions between cognition, social exposure, emotional state transitions, epistemic …
