Predictive Physical Hardware Actuation Via Llm-Based Semantic Code Analysis, Tamar Yakar, Ilia Labzovsky May 2026

Predictive Physical Hardware Actuation Via Llm-Based Semantic Code Analysis, Tamar Yakar, Ilia Labzovsky

Defensive Publications Series

Reactive autoscaling systems may cause performance degradation and thermal issues when deploying new code, as such systems often scale resources based on lagging indicators. A system can address this by integrating a large language model (LLM) into a continuous integration/continuous deployment pipeline. Before deployment, the system analyzes the semantic and structural impact of codebase modifications by processing code diffs and abstract syntax tree deltas, which can be augmented with historical telemetry data. The LLM then generates a resource delta prediction vector to quantify anticipated physical demands, such as central processing unit cycles and thermal output. This prediction may enable a …

Gci #301 — Ariadne Heart-Shield (V5.3), Michael Victor Caldwell Mr. May 2026

Gci #301 — Ariadne Heart-Shield (V5.3), Michael Victor Caldwell Mr.

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure presents a passive vascular interface device designed to condition hemodynamic and biochemical boundary conditions at vascular anastomoses. The system utilizes controlled multi-helical flow guidance, compliance-matched materials, and anti-fouling nitric oxide-active surfaces to reduce disturbed flow, leukocyte adhesion probability, and thrombotic activation at the graft junction.

The device does not prevent immune recognition but instead modifies the local microenvironment to reduce the physical and biochemical conditions required for inflammatory amplification. A full preclinical validation pathway is defined, including computational modeling, benchtop testing, ex vivo validation, and large-animal studies.


Recursive Constraint Topology Engines: A Non-Canonical Architecture For Scalable General Intelligence Beyond Agentic Paradigms, Johny Manuel-Devadoss, Deepthi Prasad May 2026

Recursive Constraint Topology Engines: A Non-Canonical Architecture For Scalable General Intelligence Beyond Agentic Paradigms, Johny Manuel-Devadoss, Deepthi Prasad

Defensive Publications Series

We propose Recursive Constraint Topology Engines (RCTE), a class of intelligence systems in which cognition emerges not from agents, policies, or explicit reward optimization, but from continuously deforming constraint manifolds in a high-dimensional semantic phase space. Unlike agent-based systems, RCTE replaces "actors" with constraint fields that self-interact, self-negate, and self-stabilize through topological recursion.

The key hypothesis is that general intelligence arises when a system ceases to represent knowledge as symbolic objects or policies, and instead operates entirely on evolving inconsistency surfaces whose geometry encodes reasoning itself.

This architecture is designed to:

  • eliminate discrete agent decomposition

  • remove centralized planners and shared …


Context-Sovereign Hypergraph Meshes For Autonomous Socio-Computational Systems, Johny Manuel-Devadoss, Deepthi Prasad May 2026

Context-Sovereign Hypergraph Meshes For Autonomous Socio-Computational Systems, Johny Manuel-Devadoss, Deepthi Prasad

Defensive Publications Series

This paper introduces Context-Sovereign Hypergraph Meshe, a next-generation computational substrate designed to replace static knowledge representations and linear context aggregation systems with continuously evolving, causally grounded, multi-agent decision topology. Unlike prior systems that model information as either retrieval artifacts or relational graphs, CSHM encodes decision reality as a living, self-updating hypergraph of probabilistic intent, constraint propagation, and irreversible state transitions.

This is designed to resolve three structural limitations in current AI-native enterprise systems:

  1. Context collapse under high-dimensional retrieval
  2. Loss of causal traceability in multi-agent workflows
  3. Static system-of-record boundaries incompatible with adaptive autonomy

The proposed architecture enables persistent, self-healing knowledge-state environments …

Vortex-Inertial Magnetic Blood-Plasma Purifier, Michael Victor Caldwell Mr. May 2026

Vortex-Inertial Magnetic Blood-Plasma Purifier, Michael Victor Caldwell Mr.

Defensive Publications Series

This Vortex-Inertial Magnetic Blood-Plasma Purifier disclosure describes a continuous-flow, non-clogging system for the selective enrichment and extraction of biomarkers from blood plasma. The device integrates inertial microfluidic separation, magnetophoretic transport, and an open-cell gyroid lattice trapping mechanism into a unified architecture. Whole blood is first processed through a spiral microfluidic manifold operating in the Dean-flow regime to achieve passive separation of cellular components, producing a plasma stream with reduced hematocrit. Target biomarkers are captured using aptamer-functionalized superparamagnetic nanoparticles and transported via magnetophoretic drift within a controlled magnetic field gradient.

Local Replication With Internet Group Management Protocol Snooping, N/A, N/A May 2026

Local Replication With Internet Group Management Protocol Snooping, N/A, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

The present disclosure is directed to multicast scalability in cloud networking environments by shifting packet replication from a central gateway to individual physical hosts. In high-density hosting scenarios where multiple virtual machine (VM) endpoints reside on a single machine, conventional gateway replication saturates shared, single-threaded reorder processors, leading to performance degradation and packet drops. An approach may implement an internet group management protocol (IGMP) snooping agent on each host to intercept join and leave messages, enabling the maintenance of a per-group mapping of local subscribers. This allows the multicast gateway to transmit only a single copy of a packet to …

The Picture Exchange Communication System (Pecs) As A Functional Form Of Low-Technology Aided Augmentative And Alternative Communication (Aac): A Systematic Review, Faith K. Curran

Pacific Journal of Health

This systematic literature review was completed with the aim of investigating the functionality of the low-technology aided Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS). In this review, functionality was defined by how successful AAC users used PECS. Fifteen peer reviewed primary sources which were published between 2020 and 2025 were selected to provide a current and relevant analysis. There was not enough current research to support the use of PECS across various functions of language. However, PECS is mainly used for one to two language functions, object requesting and commenting. Further research studying the success rates of …

Modern Retail Experience Design For Gen Z And Millennials In India: The Roles Of Convenience, Personalization, And Sustainability, Pratibha Rai, Om Jee Gupta May 2026

Modern Retail Experience Design For Gen Z And Millennials In India: The Roles Of Convenience, Personalization, And Sustainability, Pratibha Rai, Om Jee Gupta

Management Dynamics

India’s retail sector is undergoing dramatic change, increasingly defined as an omnichannel journey in which shoppers navigate marketplaces, social media, quick-commerce apps, and physical stores. Focusing on Gen Z and Millennial consumers, this study tests whether three retailer-controlled experience levers, consumer convenience, personalized shopping experience, and sustainability and social responsibility (SSR), are associated with Purchase Intention.

A cross-sectional survey was administered in Pune, Maharashtra, India. After data screening, 320 responses were retained and analyzed using multiple linear regression. All three predictors show positive, statistically significant relationships with purchase intention, and convenience has the largest standardized effect among the three factors …
