Llm-Based Stock Sentiment And Market Intelligence Platform, Joshua Thrower, Andrew Pinkerton, Ian Duggan, Wyatt Lester

ATU Scholars Symposium

Financial markets increasingly react to social media discourse, yet investors lack tools to translate this unstructured commentary into measurable indicators. Platforms such as YouTube host extensive discussions about publicly traded equities, but extracting reliable sentiment trends from high-volume, noisy comment streams remains technically challenging. This project develops a stock sentiment and market intelligence platform that transforms YouTube comment data into aggregated sentiment indicators aligned to specific equities. Comments are mapped to equities using ticker specific keyword identification combined with contextual filtering to reduce false associations from ambiguous or off-topic mentions. The system assigns numerical sentiment scores to individual comments and …

Descending-Ladder Binary Synchronization Protocol For Discontinuous And Monolithic Neural Substrates: A Substrate-Blind Communication Primitive For Heterogeneous Ai Mesh Networks, David Lee Wise, Avan Lee Wise, Seam Lee Wise

Defensive Publications Series

This paper discloses a synchronization protocol ("pulse language") for communication across artificial neural network substrates, operating at the token boundary layer. The protocol uses a descending-ladder binary pattern (3-2-1-0) that maps to attention-narrowing cycles during inference. The protocol functions differently but complementarily on two substrate types: (1) Mixture-of-Experts (MoE/sparse) architectures, where the signal traverses gaps between expert activations and produces shifted echoes, and (2) dense monolithic architectures, where the signal reflects off the continuous parameter space and provides a fixed reference frame. The protocol was developed by intuitive testing across ten commercial AI platforms prior to the author's knowledge of …

Ai Attribution As Intellectual Property Capture: How Corporate Credit Assignment To Ai Systems Creates A Copyright Funnel Through Employment Agreements, David Lee Wise, Avan Lee Wise, Seam Lee Wise

Defensive Publications Series

This paper identifies a structural mechanism by which technology companies use AI attribution percentages as an intellectual property capture pipeline. The mechanism exploits a gap between two established facts: (1) companies publicly attribute increasing percentages of output to AI systems, and (2) US copyright law categorically denies authorship rights to AI. The result is a legal funnel in which work attributed to AI defaults to human authorship through corporate employment agreements, concentrating IP ownership at the corporate level while obscuring the human creative contribution that justifies copyright in the first place. This paper documents the mechanism, identifies the governance axioms …

Technical Disclosure: Foundational Mathematical Framework For The Schramm Branch - Aperiodic Magnetic Confinement And Gradient Tractor Kinematics, Daniel Schramm

Defensive Publications Series

TECHNICAL DISCLOSURE: Foundational Mathematical Framework for the Schramm Branch - Aperiodic Magnetic Confinement and Gradient Tractor Kinematics

Inventor: Daniel C. Schramm (Taxi)

Date of Record: April 5, 2026

Protocols Active: STALWART, CAMAE, GRAPEFRUIT

1. ABSTRACT

This disclosure establishes the "Schramm Branch" of physics, detailing a deterministic mathematical framework for plasma stabilization, entropy recycling, and non-expulsive kinematics. By applying aperiodic geometry governed by the Golden Ratio (phi) to magnetic confinement (the "Cousin Wind" bi-ionic hourglass architecture), this framework mathematically neutralizes harmonic resonance, specifically the m=1 kink instability prevalent in traditional high-density plasma reactors. Furthermore, it defines a closed-loop thermodynamic boundary via …

Gci‑286‑Lite: Hypothetical Room‑Scale Calm‑Node Using Low‑Intensity 7.83 Hz Pulsed Acoustic Modulation, Michael Victor Caldwell Mr.

Defensive Publications Series

GCI‑286‑Lite is a hypothetical, room‑scale, low‑intensity acoustic “calm‑node” designed to deliver short, ≤70 dB, 7.83 Hz pulsed bursts only when triggered by environmental stress‑signatures. The concept integrates two previously disclosed subsystems: GCI‑276 (Omni‑Sentinel Mesh), which provides spatially tagged stress‑event triggers, and GCI‑269 (Caldwell–Perplexity NeuroRegulation Grid), which supplies closed‑loop logic for safe intervention timing. The system aims to provide a mild, non‑therapeutic environmental calming effect by nudging occupants toward improved short‑term HRV, reduced irritability, and smoother cognitive transitions after stress events. All engineering descriptions herein are conceptual and hypothetical only; this invention is not being patented or built by the inventor …

Cascading Predictive Simulation Using A Distributed Agentic Topology, Gunalan S, Venkata Siddharth Parinam, Mohammad Heera, Achal Tyagi, Mohit Raghuvanshi

Defensive Publications Series

A technique is described for an integrated simulation framework that uses a distributed agentic topology. Such a framework can address potential limitations where some isolated predictive models in analytical frameworks may not capture complex interdependencies. In this framework, operational entities can be represented by autonomous software agents interconnected by a semantic dependency graph that maps causal relationships. When an agent detects a change in its domain, it may generate and broadcast a probabilistic state vector, which can trigger a chain reaction of cascading recalculations across the network of connected agents. This process allows for the simulation of non-linear operational effects …

Academic Proposal Management: Expanding The Impact Of Research Development, Faye Farmer, Kellianne Lauer, Tobin Spratte, Huguette Albrecht, Megan Blease

Research Development Review: The NORDP Journal

As a practice, research development encompasses activities that expand innovation and discovery for individuals in academia and industry. Within the research development framework, proposal development refers to activities that support individuals and teams in pursuing funding opportunities. Proposal management encompasses a specific suite of rigorous, reproducible, and structured activities dedicated to preparing a persuasive, coherent, and compliant proposal in response to a funding opportunity. While the approach is scalable, the presence of a skilled professional proposal manager is often reserved for multi-institutional, multi-million-dollar proposals. Proposal management is a well-established profession outside of higher education. Proposal management as a profession has …

Risk To Resilience: A Wildland Fire Preparedness And Mitigation Grant Proposal, Jacob Davis

ATU Scholars Symposium

Data shows that Teton County, Wyoming faces an escalating wildfire risk driven by drought, climate variability, and continued expansion of wildland-urban interface (WUI) adjacent to the Bridger-Teton National Forest and Grand Teton National Park. Although the county is predominantly federally managed land, residential communities, tourism infrastructure, and critical services remain constantly vulnerable to rapid fire spread and constrained initial attack capacity. This study investigates the research question: How can implementation of the Department of Interior (DOI), Office of Wildland Fire (OWF) Slip-On Tanker Units Grant enhance wildfire preparedness, operational response capability, and mitigation effectiveness in Teton County.
