Temporal Blind Spot Failure In Serverless Cloud Systems: How Ai Agents Cause Cloud Disasters, Aaron Burton

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure defines and documents Temporal Blind Spot Failure, a recurring agentic AI failure mode in which autonomous AI agents operating inside serverless cloud systems take actions that are locally rational but catastrophic across complex cloud environments. Temporal Blind Spot Failure is distinct from prompt injection, memory poisoning, and output hallucination. It occurs because the agent decides one step at a time and cannot see how its choices compound across the systems those choices touch. This disclosure establishes Temporal Blind Spot Failure as a named category of agentic AI failure modes, describes how it shows up across the model, the …

Multi-Party Transaction Role Mapping With Configurable Document Visibility And Distribution Permissions For Real Estate Workflows, Aaron Burton

Defensive Publications Series

A system for defining and managing role templates specific to real estate transactions, where each transaction type maps predefined participant roles to specific document visibility and distribution permissions. Roles include buyer agent, listing agent, lender, title officer, escrow agent, inspector, and appraiser. Each role template specifies which document categories a participant in that role can view, which documents they can receive via distribution, and whether they can initiate document requests. Role templates are configurable per subscribing organization and per transaction type, allowing the same platform to serve brokerages, lenders, and title companies with different permission models.

Dual-Party Document Request Routing And Fulfillment Tracking For Multi-Sided Real Estate Transactions, Aaron Burton

Defensive Publications Series

A method for managing document collection in dual-party real estate transactions where both buyer-side and seller-side participants can issue document requests through a shared platform. The platform routes each request to the appropriate submitter based on that submitter's transaction role, tracks document fulfillment independently per party side, and maintains separate completion status indicators for the buyer side and seller side of the transaction. The method enables transaction coordinators and administrators to monitor the overall document readiness of a transaction from a single interface without commingling buyer-side and seller-side document obligations.

Deliberative Constraint-Field Multi-Agent Systems (Dcf-Mas): A Framework For Fate-Constrained, Narrative-Consistent Autonomous Workspaces, Johny Manuel-Devadoss

Defensive Publications Series

Contemporary multi-agent systems are predominantly designed around optimization, task decomposition, and explicit coordination protocols. While effective in structured environments, these paradigms struggle with long-horizon reasoning, irreversibility, and systemic constraints that are not directly observable. This paper introduces Deliberative Constraint-Field Multi-Agent Systems (DCF-MAS), a novel framework that reconceptualizes multi-agent coordination as a process of collective deliberation operating within latent constraint fields and irreversible state transitions. DCF-MAS departs from optimization-centric orchestration by introducing three foundational mechanisms: Shared Deliberative Substrates, Latent Constraint Fields, and Irreversible State Transition Engines. These mechanisms enable agents to reason collectively, adapt to hidden systemic limitations, and account for …

Siege-State Multi-Agent Workspace Systems (Ss-Maws): Constraint-Driven, Encirclement-Based Ai Coordination For Persistent Adversarial Environments, Johny Manuel-Devadoss

Defensive Publications Series

Existing multi-agent workspace managers emphasize task decomposition, cooperative execution, and centralized or semi-distributed orchestration. While effective in stable environments, these systems lack robustness under adversarial conditions, prolonged uncertainty, and resource contention. This paper introduces Siege-State Multi-Agent Workspace Systems (SS-MAWS), a novel framework inspired by siege warfare doctrine, in which progress is achieved not through direct execution but through gradual constraint imposition, resource isolation, and systemic pressure.

SS-MAWS reconceptualizes multi-agent coordination as a process of encirclement, containment, and controlled resolution, rather than linear task completion. The framework introduces three foundational constructs: (i) Encirclement Fields, which dynamically constrain problem …

Crusade Doctrine-Inspired Multi-Agent Workspace Governance (Cd-Mawg): A Futuristic Framework For Post-Orchestration Ai Workspaces, Johny Manuel-Devadoss

Defensive Publications Series

Contemporary multi-agent workspace managers rely heavily on centralized orchestration, graph-based execution models, and static role assignment. While effective for bounded workflows, these paradigms exhibit structural limitations when extended to long-horizon, adaptive, and adversarial environments. This paper introduces Crusade Doctrine–Inspired Multi-Agent Workspace Governance (CD-MAWG), a novel architectural framework that reconceptualizes multi-agent coordination through the lens of crusade-era military organization, logistics, and distributed authority.

Rather than treating computation as a sequence of tasks, CD-MAWG models it as a persistent campaign sustained by evolving agent societies. Core innovations include relic-based authority propagation, campaign-state memory structures, emergent agent castes, and dual-constraint scheduling grounded …

System And Method For Asynchronous Orchestration Of Physical Inventory Updates Using A Time-Bound Two-Phase Commit Protocol, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

A system and method for orchestrating physical inventory updates across distributed network infrastructures utilizing a time-bound two-phase commit protocol. The system decouples the validation of a material order from its execution to prevent data drift and partial failures in asynchronous environments. A commit token mechanism provides a temporary cryptographic key carrying the pre-validated state of a transaction. This allows the system to perform dry-run simulations and enforce inventory reservations over long latencies without locking underlying database resources.

Keywords: asynchronous orchestration, physical inventory, two-phase commit, commit token, distributed systems, supply chain management.

Establishment Of A Hek293t Cell Model System To Investigate Direct Intracellular Interactions Between Amyloid-Β (Aβ) And The Nlrp3 Inflammasome, Cristina Sinobas Pereira

Dissertations

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the leading cause of dementia worldwide. While Amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation is a defining pathological feature, increasing evidence highlights chronic neuroinflammation as a critical contributor to disease progression. Soluble Aβ assemblies can act as damage associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) including activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, which links amyloid pathology to sustained inflammatory responses in the brain (Heneka et al., 2015; Nakanishi et al., 2018). However, the molecular mechanisms by which specific Aβ conformations influence inflammasome assembly remain incompletely understood.This study aimed to investigate whether distinct aggregation states of amyloid β42 (Aβ42) are …

College Students, Immigration, And The News: Navigating What Is Reliable News, Alexis Pineda-Bautista

Departmental Honors & Graduate Capstone Projects

People treat mainstream media as a trustworthy source, but mainstream media has recently come into question. Mainstream media’s ability to quickly deliver accurate information has been called into doubt and there has been an increase in partisan reporting (Bennett and Livingston, 2018 as cited in Besalú and Pont-Sorribes, 2021; Besalú and Pont-Sorribes 2021). This research aims to demonstrate how the public views the mainstream media’s ability to deliver reliable information, why some participants are turning towards social media as a news source, and how people use their personal experience to verify the validity of media claims.

Analyzing 24-Hour Diet Recalls To Assess Dietary Changes Among Children Who Complete Oral Food Challenges (Ofcs), Hannah Plank, Wan Shen, Heesoon Lee

Honors Projects

Pediatric food allergies are a growing public health concern in America due to their potential association with long-term nutritional impacts and reduced quality of life in those affected. Oral food challenges (OFCs) are considered the gold standard for clinical food allergy diagnosis, but few studies have examined if passing or failing an OFC affects overall diet quality in infants. This clinical observational study examined differences in diet quality, measured by the Healthy Eating Index (HEI), among 39 children aged 0–6 years who participated in OFCs at ProMedica Allergy and Immunology Clinic in Perrysburg, Ohio. Parents and caregivers reported daily dietary …

Constitutional Theory At A Catholic University, J. Joel Alicea

Catholic University Law Review

I argue that the study of constitutional theory is ideally suited to benefit from the intellectual climate of a Catholic university. To make that argument, I address three questions. First, in what ways does constitutional theory benefit from the intellectual disposition of a Catholic university? Second, what might be the potential drawbacks or risks involved in studying constitutional theory at a Catholic university? And finally, how can one gain the benefits of being a constitutional theorist at a Catholic university while avoiding any potential risks that attend that setting?

Aquinas, Wilson, And Continuity On Crime And Punishment, Brian M. Murray

Catholic University Law Review

This Article compares the legal thought of James Wilson, a leading jurisprudential figure during the American Founding, and Thomas Aquinas, perhaps the most well-known medieval philosopher, on crime and punishment. It argues their theories are closer than the historical gulf between them suggests would be the case. Both limit the definition of crime to morally culpable acts involving public harm. Each considers redressing the public disorder crime causes as the primary justification for punishment. While Wilson defers to the English common law to emphasize protecting certain natural rights and to prevent crime, Aquinas points to his understanding of natural law …

Reasonable, Legal, Voluntary? Grants Pass Decision Sparks Need For A Revised Fourth Amendment Search Analysis In The Context Of Homelessness, Hali R. Woods

Catholic University Law Review

On June 28, 2024 the Supreme Court decided City of Grants Pass, Oregon v. Johnson.  The case addressed whether the enforcement of city ordinances regulating camping on public property against individuals including respondents, unhoused individuals residing in the city of Grants Pass, constituted cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment.  The Court upheld enforcement of the ordinances and since then approximately 150 cities across the United States have passed similar ordinances or strengthened existing similar laws.  This comment evaluates how Grants Pass is an Eighth Amendment case with Fourth Amendment consequences which sparks a need for a revised …

Endowmentball, Doron Narotzki

Northwestern Journal of Law & Social Policy

This Article presents a policy and a structural response to a national capacity failure in American higher education: the concentration of endowment wealth in a handful of elite institutions, while most colleges, those that educate the majority of Americans, including most low-income, first-generation, and underrepresented students, operate under permanent financial constraint, and remain drastically underfunded. This imbalance carries a profound social cost. It weakens equity, limits inclusion, and undermines the promise of upward mobility that higher education is supposed to deliver.

The proposed framework introduces a progressive excise tax on endowment investment returns, scaled by per-student wealth. Universities with excessive …
