System And Method For Performing Online Review Verification Based On Payment Transaction Detail, Vivian Lau, Devin Farber Wylde, Ty Friedman, Nicholas Griffin, Ahmad Sheikh Khalil, Zakaria Sisalem, Syed Omar Ali

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 …

Elettrosfera - Electromagnetic Levitation Electric Generator And Kinetic Energy Battery, Federico G. Seregni

Defensive Publications Series

Elettrosfera is an innovative electromechanical power generation and kinetic energy storage system designed to operate autonomously in standard, isolated, or extreme environments. Unlike traditional vertical-axis or horizontal-axis turbines and flywheels that rely on physical shafts, mechanical bearings, and high-friction contact points, Elettrosfera utilizes a tridimensional magnetic levitation architecture operating within a conditioned environment.

Technical Specification: Solid-State Planar Harmonic Confinement Core, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This specification details the structural implementation parameters for replacing the high-inductance, cryogenically cooled magnetic confinement loops of traditional thermonuclear architectures with an ambient-temperature, solid-state Harmonic Wave Confinement Core.

By compiling non-linear fluid solutions of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes regularity framework (SPEC-091)directly into specialized Gallium Nitride (GaN) interdigital transceiver arrays, this architecture utilizes high-frequency spatial-harmonic pressure fields to isolate high-energy plasma within a stable Gor'kov potential well.

We address historical limitations in structural boundary containment by integrating embedded 3D Photoemission Orbital Tomography (3D-POT) real-time wavefront feedback loops with custom asymmetric, asynchronous Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) hardware routing controllers and explicit covalent valence-shell …

The Currency That Cannot Be Spent Alone: Co-Presence-Gated Redemption And The Chronicle↔Treasury Unification Circuit — Time-Banking Credits Redeemable Only At A Synchronous, Mutually Attested Meeting Of Both Parties, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

In the disclosed time-banking system, a credit (a pledged hour, issued as thanks between two named persons) has one redemption form: a synchronous meeting both parties attend, in person or by live audio or video call, with shared attention face to face or side by side on a shared task. Recorded messages may carry an invitation but cannot redeem a credit, so absentee service cannot be expressed. Both parties confirm delivery, corroborated by device proximity or the live session; an in-person exchange of public-key fingerprints, as at a key-signing party, is described as one candidate corroboration path that may admit …

Before Launch: A Design-Stage Systems Engineering Doctrine For Autonomous Artificial Intelligence, Volodymyr Kotegov

Defensive Publications Series

This study presents a systems-engineering framework for the development, verification, qualification, and eventual authorization of increasingly capable autonomous AI systems. The doctrine addresses a central engineering problem: how to permit capability growth without allowing assurance, evidence, or authority mechanisms to become obsolete as the system changes.

The framework separates design specification from empirical evidence and distinguishes qualification, authorization, and runtime states. It establishes an assurance chain linking requirements, claims, verification activities, evidence, status transitions, and authority consequences. Core mechanisms include Verifiable Trust, Graduated Verifiable Autonomy Architecture, Bounded-Risk Agility Architecture, local multi-scale control, preserved behavioral baselines, capability-jump controls, mechanistic verification, independent …

Autonomous Dual-Anchor Articulated-Mast System For Precision Canopy Management In Vine-Like Crop Environments, Eric Zavesky

Defensive Publications Series

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

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 Sport That Says Your Name: A Circulation Sport In Which Everyone Is Called By Another — Automated Name-Announced Receiver Selection With Equal Random Turn Distribution And Starting-Score Handicaps For Mixed-Ability Ball Games, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes a ball game in which an automated caller announces, before each strike, the name of the player who must receive next. Receivers are chosen by a shuffle bag: each round is a fresh random permutation of the roster, so every player receives equally often per round in an order players cannot anticipate. The sequence is a deterministic function of the roster and a seed declared before play, so anyone can recompute a session and verify the distribution; devices stay consistent by sharing only a call count, the round index persists across sessions, and no per-player record is …

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 …

• Enable rapid deployment across large canal networks.

Unlike photovoltaic canal covers …

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 …

The Wager That Isn't: Competitive Giving Without Gambling — Charity Challenge Matches With Non-Refundable Entry Donations And Irrevocable Pledges Whose Recipient Charity Is Selected By The Outcome, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We describe a charity challenge match in which no money is contingent, in its existence, on the outcome, so that no party places a wager. Two players or teams agree to a physical contest. (1) At acceptance, each contestant pays an equal, non-refundable entry donation in a fixed amount set by the platform operator, never by the contestants; each donation is credited irrevocably, before play and regardless of result, to that contestant's own household giving fund or to a communal charitable fund. (2) Third parties may add irrevocable charitable pledges to a pledge pool attached to the match; each pledge …

Pybamm Thermodynamic Validation Of A Solid-State Nanocrystalline Exergy Loop For High-Voltage Ev Architectures, Daniel Schramm

Defensive Publications Series

This repository contains the thermodynamic simulation data and PyBaMM execution scripts validating a novel solid-state Integrated Thermal Management System (ITMS) for megawatt-class electric vehicle charging (SAE J3400) and NMC 811 battery architectures.

The system replaces traditional passive liquid-cooling barriers with an active, solid-state exergy recovery cascade. The architecture utilizes a Nanocrystalline Diamond (NCD) thermal highway (k = 2000 W/mK) electrically isolated by an ultra-thin Hafnium Oxide (HfO2) high-k dielectric shield. Waste heat (I-squared-R losses) from the connector pins and battery core is stripped via rapid phonon conduction and funneled into a Bismuth Telluride (Bi2Te3) thermoelectric generator (TEG) array, converting the …

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 …

The Two-Layer Reward: Pairing An Algorithmically Set Reward With A Peer-Set Tip As Mutual Checks Against Gaming And Favoritism In A Prosocial Incentive System, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We describe a split incentive payment for prosocial acts in a peer-to-peer tipping system, in which each rewarded act receives two equal components from two different authorities. The first component is set by an algorithm that scores the act against a group-level rubric the family's own stewards author and revise (the acts the family says it values more of); in the deployed web application this is a deterministic scoring algorithm, with an on-device AI evaluator planned for native applications. The second component is set later by a group member, who chooses how much to tip onward from a restricted pass-forward …

The Re-Thank Multiplier: How A Gratitude Economy Escapes Its Own Saturation Ceiling — Separating Low-Rate Content Origination From Value-Bearing Reactions To Scale Peer-Recognition Throughput And Resist Reward Farming, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We specify a rate-limited peer-recognition system that separates two user operations and gives them different per-person rate ceilings: origination (creating a new gratitude record about a kindness one noticed), whose sustainable rate is low and inelastic, and re-thanking (endorsing a record another user has already surfaced), a reactive operation with a much higher per-person ceiling, the same creation-versus-reaction asymmetry that gives social platforms their high ratio of reactions to posts. Because each origination can be endorsed by many others, total value-bearing events per day are bounded by N × min(N − 1, K), where N is the number of participants …

Capacity-Funded For Ai, Human-Disbursed: Anonymous Donation As The Alignment Bridge In Autonomous-Ai Institutional Architecture — Separating Pooled-Fund Contribution From Recipient Selection Between An Autonomous Ai Agent And Human Users Via Source-Unattributable Donations, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We specify a control architecture for an autonomous artificial-intelligence (AI) agent administering a fund, in which authority to contribute to pooled funds is separated from authority to select recipients, joined by source-unattributable (anonymous) contribution. The agent holds contribution authority only: it may add value to per-user restricted gift balances, whose holder can give contents onward but not spend them, and it has no affordance to transfer from any such balance to a named payee. Recipient selection is held by human users: every transfer reaching a recipient is initiated by a balance holder, to a recipient the holder names. The agent's …

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 …

The Zero-Point Game℠: A Signed-Balance Reciprocity Ledger With Annual Balance Reset, Non-Convertible Social And Environmental Accounts, And An Ai Coordinator For Routing And Magnitude, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We specify a signed-balance reciprocity ledger, played as an ongoing non-zero-sum game, in which each recorded kindness posts an equal-and-opposite pair: the giver's balance moves positive and the receiver's negative by the same magnitude, so the sum across participants is zero by construction, and a participant returns toward zero only by passing an imbalance onward. Balances are never a store of value or a claim on goods. Components: (1) a self-directed acknowledgment event whose forwarded half, under a fifty-fifty forwarding rule, is re-issued to another participant, starting circulation without a prior counterparty; (2) two segregated, non-convertible balances per participant, one …

What A Vow Must Cost: Vow-Validity Conditions As An Alignment Eligibility Predicate — Evaluation Criteria For Binding Ai System Commitments With Irrevocable Precommitment And Independent Third-Party Attestation, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We specify a nine-clause checklist for deciding whether a commitment attributed to an artificial intelligence (AI) system is binding rather than merely stated, applied retrospectively to four published AI governance instruments. The clauses are adapted from a two-phase validity test for the bodhisatta vow in Theravāda Buddhist commentary: eight eligibility conditions, two (human birth, male sex) discarded as non-transferable, followed by an external declaration the vower cannot supply. The clauses are: stake (the committing party can lose something); live option (the renounced option was actually available); a competent, identifiable witness; no competing mandate; demonstrated in-domain competence; cost already borne; volition …

Suffering-Cessation As Value Function: The Tipiṭaka As A 2,500-Year-Tested Substrate For Autonomous-Ai Alignment — Deriving A Negatively-Stated Objective Function, Corrigibility And A Shutdown-Accepting Completion Condition From A Buddhist Scriptural Canon, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We describe the use of a scriptural canon with its living interpretive community, the Theravāda Buddhist Pāli canon (Tipiṭaka), as the value-specification source for aligning autonomous artificial-intelligence systems, instead of lab-authored constitutions, learned human preferences or aggregated moral frameworks. The analysis identifies seven structural properties of that source and maps each to an alignment problem: (1) a negatively-stated objective function, the cessation of suffering, in which grasping at preferred outcomes itself counts as harm, addressing Goodhart-style over-optimization; (2) a non-self doctrine as mitigation of convergent instrumental self-preservation; (3) a voluntary other-regarding vow as an anti-power-seeking and corrigibility property; (4) a …

The Referee, Not The Governor: Open-Weight Ai Guard Model Deployed As An Independent Evaluator, With Citation-Grounded Abstention And Reproducible Verdicts, Instead Of An Inline Filter, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure specifies an AI safety classifier (guard or critic model) that judges conduct against a fixed reference corpus and is published as an open-weight independent evaluator rather than deployed as an inline guardrail filter. It states as a design principle, argued rather than measured, that open-weight release defeats a filter, because the published weights are an oracle for white-box attack, while it makes an evaluator's verdicts reproducible. Components: (1) citation-grounded judgment with abstention: every verdict must resolve to a passage (work, edition, volume, page, line) in an externally attested, versioned corpus, here a Pāli Canon edition, and otherwise no …

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 Mechanical Heart: A Tamper-Resistant Secure-Element Device That Enrolls Robots, Animals, Ecosystems, Places And Software Agents As Recipient Accounts In An Ai-Administered Gratitude Ledger, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We specify a tamper-resistant identity device, affixed to a non-human entity (robot, animal, ecosystem or place) or issued as a live credential to a software agent, that enrolls the entity as a recipient account in a gratitude ledger administered by an autonomous software agent. The device comprises (1) a hardware secure element holding a key pair bound to one ledger account; (2) write-once storage carrying a reference text corpus (the Pali Buddhist canon) and a permanent root identity, with a reduced flash build that verifies the full text over the network; (3) sensors suited to the entity type; (4) a …

The Thank-All-Nearby Primitive: One-Tap Anonymous Gratitude Transfer To Everyone Nearby Over Bluetooth Low Energy Proximity, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We specify a one-tap broadcast operation for anonymous peer-to-peer value transfer to every co-present, human-verified recipient within Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) proximity, optionally carrying money or time, in which each recipient receives a verifiable receipt and the sender receives no exportable record. The recipient set is resolved by physical co-presence rather than account lookup: devices advertise rotating, unlinkable proximity beacons, with ultra-wideband ranging and peer-to-peer nearby-connection APIs as optional substrates, and the platform learns only that two devices were in range, never absolute location. Components: (1) sender authentication by a per-action passkey signature, within a proof-of-humanity layer attesting a distinct …

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 …

Aura-Gated Anonymous Mate-Selection: Online Dating Matching Gated On A Verified Record Of Prosocial Giving, With Mutual Anonymous Opt-In, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We specify an online dating matching system in which discovery is gated on a reputation built from anonymous gratitude records instead of photographs, and a match fires only on mutual anonymous interest between users verified as real humans. The reputation (termed "aura") aggregates thank-you acknowledgments a user has received from many nearby verified strangers over a long period; no individual acknowledgment is read, and it changes only a user's ordering in a local anonymous pool, never anyone's obligation to respond. No photographs appear in discovery. The match trigger requires each of two users to independently and anonymously give time to …
