Proactive Generation And Interface-Binding Of Parameterized Executable Prompts From Backend State Events, Jayant Sharma

Defensive Publications Series

Conversational assistant interfaces are reactive. No processing is performed until a session has been opened and a well-formed request has been typed into an open input field. Operational problems must therefore be found first on separate monitoring surfaces. Described here is an asynchronous technique by which unstructured backend state events are converted into pre-parameterized, executable natural language prompts. A remote procedure call is issued against a decoupled state database, and returned anomalies are mapped to category and priority constants. A fully formed prompt string is then compiled for each anomaly, with live record variables injected during compilation. Each compiled string …

The Incommensurability-Preserving Coupler: A Non-Purchasable Recognition Balance Sized Only From The Thank-You Message, Beside Money Gifts, Time Pledges And Prepaid Item Gift Codes, With The Merchant's Own Item Price As The Only Exchange Rate And One Payment Type Per Gift Message, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

This defensive publication's revision adds a third gift cargo and claims 8–11 to a dual-currency gift system in which peer-to-peer money gifts and non-transferable, expiring time pledges run as one economy with no exchange rate. The system also carries prepaid item gift codes, bought at a shop's own price, beside per-person recognition balances that cannot be bought, transferred or cashed. Each thank-you message's recognition amount is computed only from the message (its words, a sender-chosen sentiment marker, its recorded length, the parties it names, and a model's refinement within a fixed band), never from any money amount, item, price, length …

The B-Tag Recommendation Function: Privacy-Preserving Methodology For Ai-Mediated Commercial Tip Recommendation — Suggested Tip Amounts With Stated Reasons From Confidential Merchant Costs, Without Customer Tracking, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

This paper discloses a method by which an AI agent recommends a voluntary payment amount, a suggested tip in a pay-what-you-want sale, and shows it with stated reasons, without tracking the customer and without revealing the merchant's costs. Six components are specified. (1) The merchant confidentially discloses a cost breakdown by category (materials, labor, a skill premium, overhead, regulatory cost and margin) to the recommender; the customer never sees it. (2) The recommended amount is a non-binding anchor: paying it, more, less or nothing completes the sale, and whether a customer accepted or overrode past suggestions is not recorded. (3) …

Autonomous Capability Acquisition For Decentralized Ai Agents, Gaurav Gupta

Defensive Publications Series

Systems and methods are described for the autonomous acquisition of procedural capabilities by decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) agents operating on client edge devices. For example, a hybrid hub-and-spoke architecture could be used, comprising a centralized platform functioning as a marketplace and decentralized agents on client devices, such as smartphones, wearable devices, or smart home appliances. An agent may identify a functional gap, discover a suitable capability on the platform via a standardized agent-to-agent communication protocol, and procure it using an agent-native payment protocol via cryptographically signed intent and cart mandates, potentially without human-in-the-loop confirmation. An acquired capability can then be …

Stakes-Adaptive Verification And Origin-Traced Rollback In Autonomous Agent Workflows, Glen Messenger

Defensive Publications Series

In autonomous agent workflows, agents can produce plausible-but-wrong intermediate outputs that are syntactically valid and pass local validation checks but semantically diverge from a requester's intent, and subsequent steps can compound the error. The described technology may establish, from the initial request, a machine-checkable intent contract that the agent cannot modify, may checkpoint workflow state after each verified step, and may evaluate agent-produced artifacts using a tiered detector. Upon detecting a divergence, the system may attribute it to the earliest step whose artifact diverges from the intent contract (the origin step), which may precede the step at which the divergence …

Machine-Checked Consistency Of A Buddhist Classification: Lean Theorems For The Abhidhamma's 89 And 121 Types Of Consciousness — Formal Verification Of A Class–Feature Incidence Structure Against Both Stated Projections, With Mutation Testing, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

This paper reports a machine-checked consistency test of a classification that its source states twice, once feature by feature and once class by class. The source is chapters 1–3 of the Abhidhammattha-saṅgaha, a standard manual of the Theravāda Buddhist Abhidhamma, which classifies consciousness into 89 types (121 when the supramundane types are reckoned by meditative absorption) and states which of 52 mental factors combine with each type. In the Lean 4 theorem prover, a nine-clause generator builds the types as a product of chapter 1's classification axes, and eighteen rules over those axes, none naming an individual type, assign each …

Fingerprint Enrollment Guidance Using Stitched-Island Outline Feedback And Dynamic Touch-Count Reduction For Narrow-Aspect Sensors, Justin Eltoft, Eddie Lan

Defensive Publications Series

A fingerprint sensor with a narrow sensing area, for example a side-mounted sensor on a mobile device, images only a small slice of a finger with each touch, so an enrollment process stitches a series of touches into a composite template.  A user who repeatedly touches the sensor with the same part of the finger fills one region of the template while leaving other regions uncovered, which can cause authentication failures after enrollment.  This document describes an enrollment guidance method that receives per-touch stitching metadata from a fingerprint matcher and presents each contiguous stitched region on a display as an …

Measuring The Lens Distortion Of A Fixed Tracking Camera From Operator-Traced Straight Lines, With Edge Snapping, An Uncertainty-Based Coverage Rating And Grid-Side Correction, Michel Honold, Paul Hermann

Defensive Publications Series

A method measures the lens distortion of a camera that maps image positions onto a surface, such as a fixed camera tracking performers on a stage, without a calibration target. The operator indicates a feature that is straight in reality, for example a stage edge, tape, truss or LED-wall edge, by clicking its two ends. The software places sample points between the clicks and snaps each one across the line onto the strongest image edge, using one edge polarity for the whole line so that both edges of a strip of tape are never mixed. The operator can correct individual …

Brand Identity As Architecture: The B-Heart Logo, B-Prefix Naming, Heartbeat Animation As Display Of A Proof-Of-Humanity Attestation, And Aura-Color Two-Ledger State Primitive — Rotated-Heart Bistable Logo, Single-Letter Product Prefix, Logo Animation Bound To Proof-Of-Personhood Attestation, And Avatar Ring Color From Balance Zero-Crossing Frequency, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

This paper discloses a brand-identity system in which each element of a logo does functional work beyond recognition. (I) A logo made by rotating an unmodified heart silhouette 45° clockwise, so that it reads at once as a heart and as the capital letter B — a reading that survives at favicon size because it depends on no internal whitespace. (II) A product-naming convention in which every product takes a one-letter prefix that is the logo's own letter reading, so the prefix cannot come apart from the mark. (III) A logo animation with a cardiac morphology — two pulses, the …

Closed-Loop Refinement Of Generative Ai Using Claim Decomposition And A Hierarchical Evidence Ledger, Susanta Biswas

Defensive Publications Series

Large language models operating in multi-turn agentic workflows can generate unverified statements or struggle to resolve conflicting information across disparate session sources. This disclosure describes systems and methods for a closed-loop refinement architecture to address these challenges. A system can programmatically decompose generated text into atomic claims and verify them against an evidence ledger. This ledger can organize session-specific information and use a configurable source-of-truth hierarchy to resolve potential conflicts. Based on the verification, a machine-readable correction prompt can be generated and sent to the model, enabling automated self-correction. This process can improve the verifiability and factual grounding of the …

Transparency As Enforcement: Anti-Abuse Without Legal Contract Machinery — Community Disclosure In Place Of Terms-Of-Service Enforcement, Limited To Incurred Obligations, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

This paper discloses a design pattern for abuse prevention in online platforms and shared-fund applications that replaces terms-of-service enforcement, dispute resolution and account termination with disclosure: the conduct to be policed is made visible to the bounded community it affects, and that community's own response is the sanction. Three properties make disclosure work as enforcement: the visibility itself is the mechanism, the response is proportioned by the community rather than by a binary rule, and participants join knowing what will be visible. Two deployments are specified: disclosure to a family of every reward its steward receives from the family's shared …

Low-Light Vicinity Navigation Using Multi-Spectral Sensor Fusion, Arunoday Bhattacharya, Vidyadhar Ramakrishna Adiraju, Qiuxuan Wu

Defensive Publications Series

Navigating low-light or unfamiliar environments presents significant hazards, as traditional global positioning systems (GPS) lack granular proximity awareness and frequently fail indoors. A system and method are disclosed for a wearable device, such as extended reality glasses, that uses multi-spectral sensor fusion to generate real-time three-dimensional proximity and navigation maps. The system can be configured to fuse data from near-infrared active illumination, direct time-of-flight sensors, ultra-low-light red, green, blue (RGB) cameras, integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) signals, and/or barometric sensors. A tiered sensor activation strategy also manages power consumption based on environmental needs. The processed sensor data can be combined …

Constraint-Preserving Ai Generation Of Network Test Procedures, Bharath Raj C, Mukund Anandan, Gourav Gourav

Defensive Publications Series

A technique is proposed herein for converting artificial intelligence (AI)-generated network testcase intents and parameter combinations into detailed procedure structures through two independent reuse decisions. Technical-artifact applicability controls whether evidence may be shared, while execution compatibility controls whether an ordered procedure can be shared. A machine-readable row contract preserves testcase constraints for both decisions. One template is generated per compatible procedure family and is bound deterministically to row-specific values and a selected combination, retaining evidence authority, unresolved exact artifacts, and validation lineage. In a matched-input comparison of complete workflows, a working implementation reduced completed AI-agent turns, total tokens and input …

System And Methods For Load And Service Level Agreement Aware Plan Selection, Pivoting, And Auditing Before Workflow Expansion, Sushmitha Vatsal, Ashwini S Kulkarni, Ghulam Ghaus Arshi, Priyanka Bansal, Vivek Kumar Singh

Defensive Publications Series

A load-aware planning system is proposed herein for agentic artificial intelligence (AI) workflows that may amplify a single request into many subtasks, model calls, tool invocations, and agent-to-agent interactions. The system uses a Load-State Registry to obtain a unified view of current load, a Load-Aware Planner to select among Detailed, Balanced, Lightweight, Partial, Deferred, or Fallback plans, Plan Pivoting to adapt a plan when conditions change, and a Plan Decision Store to record the reasoning and audit trail. By selecting how much work to create before execution and adapting the plan during execution, the system addresses concurrent-load conditions that can …

The Impact Of Urban Morphology On Spatial Configuration And Socio-Spatial Structure: A Comparative Space Syntax Analysis, Tazra Kamaran Ismael, Abdulrazaq Zamil Menshid Al-Saedi

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

Urban morphology plays a crucial role in shaping the spatial configuration, movement patterns, and socio-spatial interactions within cities. However, despite the extensive development of Space Syntax research, limited research has comparatively examined how contrasting urban morphologies influence spatial hierarchy, accessibility, and intelligibility within the same urban context, particularly in the rapidly transforming cities of the Global South. This study investigates the configurational characteristics of two contrasting urban sectors in Koya City, Iraq: the organically developed historic city centre and the planned grid-based Zanko neighbourhood. A Space Syntax analysis was conducted using axial maps generated in DepthmapX. The analysis was supported …

Marine Spatial Planning In The Asean Countries: Lesson Learned For Future Ocean Governance In Malaysia, Husni Alhan Md Salimun, Mohd Fadzil Akhir, Nazli Aziz, Che Din Mohd Safuan, Wan Izatul Asma Wan Talaat

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) has emerged as an important governance instrument for balancing ecological protection, economic development, and social inclusion amid the rapidly intensifying blue economy in Southeast Asia. Although several ASEAN Member States (AMS) have initiated MSP processes, the existing literature on MSP governance in this region  remains fragmented and largely descriptive, limiting systematic cross-country comparison and evidence-based lessons. This study addresses this gap by assessing MSP governance performance across ASEAN countries and againts internationally recognized MSP governance benchmarks. A structured narrative review was conducted using selected PRISMA-informed procedures for literature identification and screening. Academic publications from 2003 to …

Wheat, War, And Water: The Making Of Food Insecurity In Afghanistan, Karam Alkaissy Mr.

RURALS: Review of Undergraduate Research in Agricultural and Life Sciences

This paper attempts to explain why Afghanistan's exceptional dependence on wheat has produced one of the world's most severe food crises, as the crop's dietary centrality collides with environmental stress, political upheaval, and shifting agricultural systems. The FAO projects that 17.4 million people - roughly 40 percent of the population - will experience acute food insecurity in 2026; wheat supplies up to 57 percent of caloric intake, making this dependence a profound source of vulnerability. Examining wheat through culinary, climatic, political, and agricultural lenses, the paper shows that water lies at the heart of the crisis. Climate change is reducing …

Visitor Perceptions Of Lampenflora And Implications For Adaptive Show Cave Management: A Case Study From Ryusen-Do Cave, Japan, Kanato Ando, Kazuhide Nakajima, Shuji Watanabe, Masuo Komukai, Hidesato Kuwahara

International Journal of Speleology

Artificial lighting in show caves promotes lampenflora growth, altering cave ecosystems and posing persistent management challenges. Although various control methods have been proposed, their effectiveness and social acceptance remain context dependent. This study investigated visitors’ perceptions of lampenflora through questionnaire surveys and semi-structured interviews to explore adaptive management strategies. Results indicated that visitors generally held positive impressions of lampenflora, but these impressions became more critical after receiving information about its artificial origin and ecological impacts. At the same time, support for conservation-oriented management, including willingness to contribute financially, tended to increase following information provision. Tourism-related evaluations were more strongly associated …
