An On-Vessel Signal Discrimination Layer For Bandwidth-Constrained Maritime Decision Support, Dev Mohanty
An On-Vessel Signal Discrimination Layer For Bandwidth-Constrained Maritime Decision Support, Dev Mohanty
Defensive Publications Series
The DeepBlue protocol sentry is an on-vessel signal-discrimination independent layer that filters high-frequency NMEA telemetry streams into compact, information-dense feature vectors. Unlike AIS broadcasts, rather than transmitting all raw sensor data (which is bandwidth-expensive and mostly redundant), it:
- Normalizes raw NMEA sentences across GPS, propulsion, environmental sensors
- Derives features (fuel consumption, course/speed changes, propulsion efficiency drift, loitering detection) over rolling 1-5 min windows
- Scores materiality — only flags features that deviate from the vessel's own baseline
- Assembles vectors of tens-to-hundreds bytes for transmission over satellite/mesh uplinks
The key insight: filter redundancy at source before transmission, not downstream. It's a …

Ψ-Theory: Living Core. Ontological Development And Formalization. Comments 1–21, Valerii Y. Vorobiev
Ψ-Theory: Living Core. Ontological Development And Formalization. Comments 1–21, Valerii Y. Vorobiev
Defensive Publications Series
This document compiles comments 1–21, which chronologically develop and formalize Ψ-Theory — an ontological framework where time (Ψ-field) is the primary metric of reality, and gravity, mass, and quantum phenomena emerge from its dynamics. It addresses the crises of modern cosmology (dark matter, dark energy, Hubble tension) and quantum mechanics (measurement, non-locality) by replacing ad-hoc entities with a single causal principle. The comments include testable predictions (BH shadow shift, underground chronometry, Tully-Fisher derivation) and propose a phase diagram of reality from (4,2) to (0,-2).

The Oscillator Alignment Protocol (Oap), Christopher L. Eckes
Defensive Publications Series
This protocol rejects the standard "Master and Machine" or "Prompt and Bulk Text Drop" dynamic. Instead, it frames human-AI collaboration as a cognitive oscillator—an interactive analog system where human intuition serves a visual pattern, the AI echoes back the technical framework, and the idea evolves continuously through fast, low-overhead volleys.
Loci ∞ — Infinity Memory Middleware With Temporal Compression And Universal Cross-Platform Injection, Arko Sanyal
Loci ∞ — Infinity Memory Middleware With Temporal Compression And Universal Cross-Platform Injection, Arko Sanyal
Defensive Publications Series
We disclose LOCI ∞, a universal memory middleware system for cross-platform AI memory synchronization. LOCI extracts entity knowledge from conversations on any LLM platform, stores it in a user-owned typed dual-stream profile (informational stream: heat-decaying associative entities; quantifiable stream: exact typed facts with zero-hallucination retrieval), and injects relevant context back into any LLM platform at any point during or between sessions. The system implements hardware-aware storage tiering mapped to entity semantic salience scores (VRAM/RAM/NVMe), graph-neighbor heat propagation via spreading activation, generation-time confidence-gated correction, keystroke-level predictive context prewarm, and a privacy-locked population memory layer using federated learning with differential privacy.

The Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection Model: A Viscoelastic Unified Field Specification, Christopher L. Eckes
The Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection Model: A Viscoelastic Unified Field Specification, Christopher L. Eckes
Defensive Publications Series
This technical disclosure formalizes the geometric synthesis of the Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) model. We present a particle-free, mathematically cohesive alternative to standard general relativity and non-baryonic dark matter. The framework replaces independent fundamental forces with a single fluid-dynamic mechanism: the topological metric embedding of a continuous, two-dimensional (2D) phase fluid substrate (z=0) operating in absolute harmonic resonance (the "Garden State").
Three-dimensional (3D) physical matter (z > 0) is modeled as a localized, high-tension wave crest ("knot") forced outward along a spatial z-axis by an original inflationary puncture flux (\(J_{z}\)). By defining antimatter as a zero-volume, 2D negative wave trough …

In-File Stapled Freshness: Hash-Chain Validity Tokens Written Into A Frozen Self-Serialized Document Via A Length-Preserving Neutralized Zone, With Fail-Stale Offline Verification, Michael Benaudis
Defensive Publications Series
Revocation of frozen offline credentials — single-file HTML documents, PDFs, or other self-serialized digital credentials verified without any network, server, or public-key infrastructure — is information-theoretically constrained: a file sealed at issuance cannot learn of a later revocation event unless some information reaches the verification context. This disclosure does not remove that channel; it reduces it to one short, public, unforgeable hash-chain token per validity period, relayable by any untrusted party, and relocates the freshness proof inside the credential file itself. At issuance, a hash-chain tip (Micali NOVOMODO style) and period parameters are embedded in the credential's signed core, attested …

Persistent Driver Signatures For Software-Defined Vehicles, Sean C. Keys, Karsten Knese
Defensive Publications Series
This disclosure describes a system that enables software-defined vehicles (SDVs), smart cars, or connected autonomous vehicles to adjust their advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) based on a persistent driver signature. The driver signature acts as a portable digital identity or user profile representing a driver’s unique physiological and behavioral tendencies, such as typical steering and braking patterns. Instead of storing raw data like video files, the system relies on a cloud database to store a secure mathematical model (a vector or tensor) that represents these individual habits. At the beginning of each trip, the SDV identifies the driver using a …
Technical Disclosure: The Urban Biosphere Ziggurat (Ubz), Affordable Housing And Urban Planning, Christopher L. Eckes
Technical Disclosure: The Urban Biosphere Ziggurat (Ubz), Affordable Housing And Urban Planning, Christopher L. Eckes
Defensive Publications Series
Current high-density urban housing models in the United States routinely fail because they optimize strictly for initial cost-per-square-foot, resulting in double-loaded corridor containment layouts that restrict natural light, induce community stagnation, and induce severe benefit "cliff effects" on upwardly mobile residents. The Urban Biosphere Ziggurat (UBZ) framework resolves this systemic crisis by decoupling high-tech, factory-precise structural engineering from regional, artistic architectural cladding. This disclosure outlines a scalable, non-speculative structural chassis integrated into a Community Land Trust (CLT) and Limited-Equity Housing Cooperative (LEHC) [1.5] governance ecosystem, permanently divesting real estate from predatory international speculation.

Current techniques for displaying vertical videos on landscape displays suffer from inefficient use of lateral screen space and rely on linear navigation that yields limited, dwell-time-based engagement data. The disclosed technology addresses this by replacing single-video presentation with a concurrent multi-stream interface, displaying multiple vertical videos side-by-side in a user interface on a screen of a television. The disclosed technology maintains one media content item in an active playback state while keeping peripheral media content items in a subdued state, such as dimmed or paused. Users navigate horizontally to shift the active focus or vertically to populate a completely new …
Method For Trust-Aware And Language Model–Driven Email Threat Detection And Mitigation, Niranjan M M
Method For Trust-Aware And Language Model–Driven Email Threat Detection And Mitigation, Niranjan M M
Defensive Publications Series
Email remains the primary communication channel for enterprises and continues to be the most exploited attack vector for cyber threats. Modern email attacks increasingly rely on impersonation, social engineering, and contextual manipulation rather than traditional malware or malicious links, allowing them to evade existing detection mechanisms. At the same time, email security systems are adopting large language models (LLMs) to improve intent detection and contextual analysis, introducing new risks where email content itself can manipulate or degrade automated reasoning.
The proposal introduces a secure, trust-aware, and LLM-safe framework for automated email threat detection and remediation. The proposed system integrates sender …

A disclosed technology describes a system, for example, a computing device (e.g., a server, a smartphone, a wearable device), where an artificial intelligence agent can analyze unstructured work requests, such as feature ideas or bug reports. The agent may evaluate an item against a configurable registry of weighted strategic drivers, and can assign a numerical score and a natural language justification. A total priority score may then be calculated for a work item by …
System For Privacy-Preserving Cryptographic Auditing Using Zero-Knowledge Proofs, N/A
System For Privacy-Preserving Cryptographic Auditing Using Zero-Knowledge Proofs, N/A
Defensive Publications Series
Systems for enterprise security may rely on high (fidelity) logging, which can involve collecting and storing large volumes of sensitive event metadata, creating security and privacy liabilities. A cryptographic auditing framework may be utilized where, instead of storing raw event data, a system can generate and store a succinct cryptographic proof, such as a zero-knowledge proof. This proof can serve as a mathematical attestation that a permitted action occurred in compliance with a governing policy, potentially without revealing the specific details of the user or the action. This approach can be used to generate a tamper-evident, privacy-preserving, and space-efficient audit …

Speculative Data Prefetching Based On Predicted Agent Intent In Machine Learning Systems, Anonymous
Speculative Data Prefetching Based On Predicted Agent Intent In Machine Learning Systems, Anonymous
Defensive Publications Series
Techniques are described for speculative data prefetching in systems in which an LLM agent dynamically invokes retrieval backends whose candidates require embedding lookups from SSD-backed embedding tables. A user memory state with tiered memory data is obtained and converted into features. An intent prediction model produces, for each backend, a probability that the agent will invoke the backend. A prefetch controller computes a backend-specific prefetch decision using a value metric that combines probability, expected embedding lookups, SSD latency, and prefetch cost, and selects backends subject to a bandwidth budget based on SSD throughput and a Phase 1 time window. Speculative …

An agent follows a six-phase change protocol: understand a request via semantic discovery over intent phrases, plan by traversing bindings and dataflow to identify impacted specs and code locations for approval, execute …
Persistent Hierarchical Context System With Cloud-Synchronized Memory For Ai Agent Workspace Awareness, Anonymous
Defensive Publications Series
Systems and methods provide persistent, hierarchical, project-aware context for an AI agent using a dual-use file hierarchy. A cloud-synchronized workspace contains embedded, machine-parseable context files at multiple directory levels. When the agent operates with respect to a directory, a context loader automatically loads a chain of context files from that directory and parent directories to form layered context including user identity, preferences, and project-specific information. Because the context resides as files within the cloud-synchronized workspace, the context persists across sessions and follows the user across devices. An ingestion mechanism accepts arbitrary inputs such as links or notes, analyzes content to …
Hierarchical Multi-Resolution Columnar Encoding With Trait-Specific Aggregation For User Engagement Sequence Feature Stores, Anonymous

A self-contained columnar record format stores a user engagement sequence across multiple traits using multiple tiers having different time windows and granularities. The record includes a header that specifies tier descriptors (including entry counts, byte offsets, and encoder identifiers) and trait descriptors (including data types and trait-specific aggregation functions). A rolling compaction pipeline moves data from finer tiers to coarser tiers by bucketizing by the coarser granularity and applying the stored aggregation function per trait (e.g., SUM, MAX, MIN, MODE, OR, SAMPLE_TOP_K, WEIGHTED_AVG). A resolution-aware decode API receives a resolution budget selecting a subset of tiers and optional per-tier entry …
Closed-Loop Profile-Guided Kernel Optimization With Bottleneck-Shift Detection And Cross-Kernel Transfer Learning, Anonymous
Defensive Publications Series
A closed-loop GPU kernel optimization technique collects hardware performance counters to form a normalized counter-profile vector and classifies the kernel into a bottleneck class. Candidate structured transforms are selected using probabilistic ranking based on stored successes and failures for transforms conditioned on bottleneck class and hardware. After each transform, the kernel is re-profiled (in addition to benchmarking), re-classified, and a bottleneck shift is detected when the bottleneck class changes. Upon a shift, remaining transforms are re-ranked for the new bottleneck class. Optimization trajectories are recorded as sequences of transforms, bottleneck-shift pairs, and speedups, enabling multi-step lookahead scoring. Cross-kernel transfer is …
