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 …

The Time-Locked Gift Tag: Qr- And Nfc-Addressed Gift Labels With Scheduled Reveal Of The Message, The Sender And A Pledge Of Time, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We specify a QR- or NFC-addressed physical gift label that replaces a handwritten gift tag with a scanned, time-locked reveal: the sender, recipient and message fields are each independently sealed and released at a chosen date or occasion. Scanned before that moment, a web page shows the structure of the gift (which sealed fields exist, with a countdown) but not their content; re-scanning the label at or after the moment unlocks the fields without an app install. Beside the message, the label carries a pledge of the giver's own time to the recipient, rendered as an offer of presence with …

Provenance-Carrying Retrieval: Hash, Timestamp And Source Binding For Retrieval-Augmented Generation, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We specify a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) response format in which every document a retrieval server returns to a language model carries a provenance envelope binding the served text to a cryptographic hash of a named, fetchable source file, at least one timestamp independent of the server (an RFC 3161 time-stamp authority, an OpenTimestamps Bitcoin anchor, or a transparency log), and, where available, a persistent identifier (DOI). The envelope also carries a scope statement declaring what the hash covers relative to the served text (whole source, excerpt, or derived rendering), an explicit "no anchor" statement rather than silence when none exists, …

The Reciters' Protocol: Content Integrity Verification, Completeness Manifests And Variant-Preserving Text Retrieval Transposed From Oral Canon Transmission, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure specifies content integrity verification and provenance mechanisms for text retrieval systems that serve quoted passages to machine readers, transposed from a multi-recension oral canon transmitted for roughly two millennia without an authoritative copy (the Pāli Buddhist canon).

A conformance endpoint accepts a claimed quotation, compares it with the served multi-recension corpus, and returns one of a closed set of dispositions on the claim, including a conforming variant with its witness, each paired with a prescribed next action and by construction none on the claimant; closed disposition sets are anticipated by OCSP; the composition is disclosed. A separated completeness …

Timing-Aware Path Computation And Clock Selection For Ptp In Sr-Mpls And Srv6 Based Networks Using Flex-Algo, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

Disclosed is a framework for timing-aware path computation and clock source selection for Precision Time Protocol transport in Segment Routing networks. New IS-IS node and link sub-TLVs advertise timing quality into the routing control plane, the node sub-TLV carrying constant time error, telecom clock type, and clock class, and the link sub-TLV carrying packet delay variation. A dedicated Flexible Algorithm instance for PTP backhaul uses cumulative constant time error as its optimization metric and excludes any link whose packet delay variation exceeds a configured threshold. A prefix segment identifier or SRv6 locator mapped to that algorithm, anchored on the grandmaster …

Automatic Discovery And Refinement Of Tool Catalogs From Conversational Data, Joshua Huang, Steve Yuan, Bryan Horling, Mahdi Zafarmand

Defensive Publications Series

Systems and methods are described for generating a tool catalog for conversational agents from historical conversation data, which can address challenges associated with manual catalog creation. The described technology can use a multi-stage process that may begin with a discovery engine, which could leverage a large language model, to analyze conversations and extract potential tools with their respective inputs and outputs. A subsequent refinement stage can employ a critic-actor architecture to iteratively identify and address potential logical issues in the extracted catalog, such as duplicate functions or unresolved parameter dependencies. This process can result in a dependency-aware tool catalog with …

Tranche-Based Datacenter Deployment Using Temporary Life-Safety Barriers And Secure Access Tunnels, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

A large multi-row data hall is divided, both logically and physically, into tranches. The tranches are bounded by temporary barriers that separate an active tranche serving customers from an adjacent construction tranche inside the same hall. Each tranche receives its own electrical lineup and cooling capacity, built to production standards. The delivered tranche maintains full life safety and security, while the remaining unfinished spaces operate under relaxed requirements, so capacity reaches the customer in proportion to build progress rather than only after the full hall is complete. The temporary barriers incorporate penetration panels that pass cable tray, piping, and other …

System And Method For Asynchronous Network Simulation Telemetry, Topological Environment Remediation, And Generative State-Machine Security, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

An automated, state-aware network orchestration and evaluation platform provides asynchronous security exercise assessment and environment management. The platform initializes isolated virtual guest environments by executing guest agent software that dynamically generates unique boot-time cryptographic artifacts and sends them to a centralized evaluation engine to dynamically compile a grading rubric. User submissions are evaluated using a dual-pipeline generative language model configured with a strict schema contract that concurrently determines semantic equivalence and detects structural anomalies or prompt injection attempts. Trainee progression across simulation objectives is tracked using a topological directed acyclic graph that triggers automated hypervisor commands to mutate guest environment …

An Experimental-Verification Program For The Corpus Mechanisms Of The Register Of Anticipated Ai Failure Modes, Volodymyr Kotegov

Defensive Publications Series

Companion document to the Register of Anticipated AI Failure Modes.

Purpose: to turn each of the register's 12 domains from a general statement that "experimental verification is needed" into a concrete, honestly bounded plan — stating what is testable now, by what means, at what stage, and what is categorically not testable by a small group at present.

Program design: (1) each proposed experiment carries an explicit evidence-class label, separating results that can move a domain’s Mapping status from results that only confirm a mechanism’s internal logic in isolation; (2) Phase 0 is limited to the one item in this …

Register Of Anticipated Ai Failure Modes, Volodymyr Kotegov

Defensive Publications Series

This register collects twelve classes of AI failure that are documented today, in published research or in reproducible experiments, at a level of generality above any single system in the author's corpus. It exists because the author's own architecture documents — Verifiable Trust, the Charter of Procedural Standing, GVAA, BRAA, Physical Oracles, and the Local Multi-Scale Contour specification — each address a subset of these failure classes from within their own scope, and no one of them shows how the classes interact across system boundaries.

The existence of this register reduces the probability that a failure class is simply forgotten. …

Method And System For Multi-Model Consensus Embedding Based Authorization In Payment Transactions, Durga S. Kala, Jun Xu, Benjamin Nativi, Om Pande

Defensive Publications Series

A method (500) for multi-model consensus embedding based authorization in payment transactions includes receiving (505) an authorization request associated with a payment transaction, obtaining (510) a plurality of outputs from a plurality of models, determining (515) inter-model relationship characteristics among the plurality of outputs including agreement, disagreement, partial consensus, or decision divergence, generating (520) a multi-model consensus embedding comprising a vector representation of a joint inference state associated with the payment transaction, storing (525) the atomic transaction record in memory (135), determining (530) a transaction risk assessment during processing of a real-time transaction authorization requests based on the atomic transaction …

Real-Time Predator Detection And Child-Centered Intervention In Multi-Platform Messaging: A System Architecture, Aubrey L. Douglas

Defensive Publications Series

We describe a system for detecting adult predatory behavior directed at minor users across five mobile messaging platforms (Discord, Instagram, Snapchat, SMS/MMS, Roblox) via on-device passive capture on the minor's own Android device. The system introduces three novel techniques not previously documented in either academic literature or commercial parental-monitoring products: (1) cross-platform stylometric fingerprinting that links blocked adult accounts to newly-created accounts by writing style rather than platform identifiers; (2) in-context grooming pedagogy delivering real-time named-tactic warnings to the child at the moment of manipulation, using non-punitive framing and one-tap protective action; and (3) three-stream ingestion with concealment-as-evidence semantics, where …

4. A resource recovery plant (fresh water, ocean plastic → fuel, brine minerals)

5. A maritime AI service provider (1–5 ms inference to shipping and fishing)

No existing platform on Earth performs more than two of these five functions. The closest analogs — China's HiCloud Shanghai UDC (24 MW, May 2026), Panthalassa Ocean-3 (wave-powered, $1B valuation), Seatrium/Mocean 30 MW FDC, …

Dynamic Exposure Weighting Based On Motion Heat Map Analysis, Adam Grant Mccauley

Defensive Publications Series

Proposed herein is a motion-adaptive automatic exposure (AE) system that dynamically reshapes an image signal processor (ISP) weighting table using aggregate motion heat maps. Motion data accumulated over a configurable temporal window identifies high-activity regions, such as roadways or crosswalks, and converts those regions into higher exposure weights, while static regions such as sky or water receive lower weights. A minimum baseline weight remains in low-activity regions to preserve forensic visibility if an unexpected event occurs. Unlike center-weighted, spot, matrix, or object-detection-based metering, the system learns where activity occurs without requiring classification of a person, vehicle, package, or other object. …

Fault-Tolerant Concurrent Data Retrieval And Processing Engine Using Acyclic Dependency Graphs, Davide Cazzin, Valentin Mercier

Defensive Publications Series

A lightweight, embedded computational graph engine provides fault-tolerant, concurrent data retrieval and processing across heterogeneous data backends. Operational tasks and data pipelines are modeled as execution nodes organized within a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG). Programmatically defined task dependencies are dynamically resolved using topological sorting, allowing independent nodes to execute concurrently via a thread pool executor. Data payloads, represented as state mappings, are transferred between completing nodes and downstream dependent nodes to facilitate automated aggregation, joining, and transformation. Granular fault tolerance is achieved by classifying execution nodes as either critical or non-critical. When a non-critical node fails, the failure is caught, …

Persistent Delegated Communication Brokering System And Method For Individuals With Intermittent Communication Access, Eric Zavesky

Defensive Publications Series

A system and method for persistent delegated communication brokering on behalf of individuals with intermittent communication access is disclosed. The system captures a requester's outreach objectives during a brief communication session and structures them into a persistent obligation object that survives session termination, continuing to execute outreach, information gathering, and action coordination after the requester's communication channel has closed. The system resolves non-dialable contact references through multi-source discovery with contextual confidence scoring and a trust-tiered no-auto-contact gate. A multi-modal outreach agent conducts autonomous outreach with mandatory self-identification, optionally employing biometric cloning of the requester, and continuously classifies contacted-party responses into …

Defensive Publications Series

Methods related to retrieval-augmented generation are disclosed.  A computer system can receive a requestor query.  The computer system can identify one or more context data elements (comprising e.g., “chunks” of documents) that are relevant to the requestor query based on header-weighted embeddings.  The computer system can generate a prompt by combining the one or more context data elements and the requestor query.  The computer system can generate a requestor query response based on the prompt and cause the requestor query response to be provided to the requestor.  The computer system can additionally collect various performance metrics, which can be used …

Predictive Workload Scheduling Using Multi-Domain Telemetry And Reliability Scoring, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

A system integrates out-of-band physical infrastructure telemetry into software-layer workload orchestration for predictive scheduling. A multi-domain telemetry aggregator ingests and normalizes data from disparate sources, including host hardware via baseboard management controllers, facility infrastructure sensors, and network switches. A predictive reliability engine processes this aggregated data using a machine learning or heuristic model to generate a quantitative reliability score for each compute node. The engine asynchronously updates these scores in a high-speed, in-memory cache to ensure low-latency access for the scheduler. Upon receiving a new workload request, a scheduler plugin queries the cache to filter out nodes with scores below …

Dynamic Glare Reconstruction For Adaptive Displays, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

A system and method for dynamic environmental light reconstruction and dual-directional optical compensation are disclosed. The system utilizes a multimodal fusion engine combining a dual-engine vision processor (macro-facial shading and micro-corneal reflection) with a hardware hinge-angle sensor. By accurately reconstructing a 3D environmental light vector and correlating it with real-time device kinematics, the system simultaneously predicts physical glare points on the display and direct flare incidents on the camera lens. The system then executes localized display compensation based on a joint gaze-glare probability map, while predictively tuning camera image signal processor (ISP) parameters to ensure optimal visual readability and video …
