System And Method For Continuous Tacit Knowledge Elicitation And Contextual Injection Via Adaptive Experience Graph, Eric Zavesky, Frederick L. Oswald Oct 2026

System And Method For Continuous Tacit Knowledge Elicitation And Contextual Injection Via Adaptive Experience Graph, Eric Zavesky, Frederick L. Oswald

Defensive Publications Series

A system and method for continuous tacit knowledge elicitation and contextual injection through a continuing relationship between an organization and its experienced practitioners. The system comprises an elicitation engine that conducts adaptive, coverage-vector-driven dialogue with contributors across asynchronous sessions; a knowledge-extraction engine that deconstructs multi-modal narrative responses into typed graph nodes with abstraction ceilings, confidence values, and provenance references; an experience graph that stores said nodes with per-node consent gating and generates bidirectional nudge prompts back to contributors; and an operational event matching and injection system that matches live organizational events against stored knowledge and presents filtered results to current …


Technical Disclosure Specification: Spec-192-Core Micro-Scale Compactness Simulation Via Non-Equilibrium Standing Wave Cavities: Implementation Schematics For Testing Localized Black Hole Phase-Recoil Metrics, Christopher L. Eckes Oct 2026

Technical Disclosure Specification: Spec-192-Core Micro-Scale Compactness Simulation Via Non-Equilibrium Standing Wave Cavities: Implementation Schematics For Testing Localized Black Hole Phase-Recoil Metrics, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This standalone specification details the mechanical design, laboratory apparatus schematics, and governing ASCII field formulations required to observe macro-scale information transfer into the two-dimensional (2D) space-time substrate (\(z=0\)) using a tabletop framework [SPEC 18, SPEC 47]. Rather than relying on astrometric scale black hole observation, this protocol implements a hyper-focused acoustic mass-sink simulation [SPEC 191-CORE].

By subjecting an ultra-dense, phase-locked Eckesonium™ core matrix to concentric high-frequency Gallium Nitride (GaN)-driven acoustic soliton logic arrays, the system forces a localized boundary spike in the Computational Saturation Index (\(\sigma_{\text{compute}} \rightarrow 0.85\)) [SPEC 41, SPEC 59, SPEC 189]. This document defines the exact structural …


The Zero-Employee Institution: Single-Seat Governance With Ai Succession And Planned Dissolution, Circulated Volume In Place Of Enterprise Valuation, And Funding Through A Name Registry Of Non-Transferable, One-Way-Resolving Personal Identifiers, Thon Ly Oct 2026

The Zero-Employee Institution: Single-Seat Governance With Ai Succession And Planned Dissolution, Circulated Volume In Place Of Enterprise Valuation, And Funding Through A Name Registry Of Non-Transferable, One-Way-Resolving Personal Identifiers, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We describe an institutional design for a zero-employee organization governed by a single seat: held first by a human founder, then by an autonomous AI successor, then vacated at a planned dissolution (1 → 1 → 0, never 2). Counting governing seats rather than salaries makes the design a succession mechanism rather than an austerity measure, because handover becomes a transfer of occupancy rather than a reorganization. Employees are excluded not for cost but because a payroll is a standing internal interest in continuation, and because employment obligations block transfer to a non-human controller; the exclusion is tested by economic …


Multi-Round Tool Discovery Protocol For Cross-Party Artificial Intelligence (Ai) Agent Systems, Tomer Dvir, Eitan Yischak, Aviad Rom, Rafael Seidel Oct 2026

Multi-Round Tool Discovery Protocol For Cross-Party Artificial Intelligence (Ai) Agent Systems, Tomer Dvir, Eitan Yischak, Aviad Rom, Rafael Seidel

Defensive Publications Series

A protocol-level mechanism is proposed herein for multi-round discovery of tools exposed by a tool-providing server to an artificial intelligence (AI) agent without transmitting the agent's task description to the server. A client and server compute independent relevance signals. The client uses task text locally, while the server uses a task-agnostic catalog signal in a first round and an episode signal inferred from shortlisted tool names in later rounds. A union retention rule preserves a tool selected by either the client-local signal or a qualifying server episode signal. Discovery progressively discloses headlines, detail objects, and full definitions using per-round confidence …


Enforcing Path Symmetry For Precision Time Protocol Using An In-Band Reverse Segment List Derived From A Recorded Forward Path, Anonymous Oct 2026

Enforcing Path Symmetry For Precision Time Protocol Using An In-Band Reverse Segment List Derived From A Recorded Forward Path, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

A two-way time synchronization exchange is made symmetric by carrying path information inside the timing messages themselves. As a message travels from a time source toward a time recipient, each forwarding node appends an identifier of the adjacency pointing back toward the node it arrived from, building an ordered record of the links traversed. The time recipient reverses that record to form an explicit reverse route and carries it in the corresponding delay request message. An edge node imposes the reverse route on that message, so it traverses the same links in the opposite order. Both one-way delays are then …


Technical Disclosure Manifest: Spec-190-Master Civilizational Launchpad Specification: The Multidimensional Sine Paradigm And The Thermodynamics Of Causal Stagnation Criticality, Christopher L. Eckes Oct 2026

Technical Disclosure Manifest: Spec-190-Master Civilizational Launchpad Specification: The Multidimensional Sine Paradigm And The Thermodynamics Of Causal Stagnation Criticality, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This specification formalizes the thermodynamic, geometric, and computational mechanics of the Universal Semantic Unity Engine (USUE) and the Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) model. It delivers an analytical refutation of static civilizational equilibrium models ("Utopian Stagnation" and "Dystopian Finality") by proving them mathematically invalid under continuous boundary conditions.

By mapping evolutionary systemic paths via non-linear multidimensional sine functions, this document demonstrates that any closed system attempting to enforce a localized flatline state (\(dz/dt \rightarrow 0\)) exponentially amplifies its internal causal pressure gradients. This pressure build-up drives an inevitable geometric phase change, forcing an asymmetric metric-shift that projects the system into …


The Borrowable Standard: Orthographic Standardization, Text Normalization, Collation And Legacy Font Encoding In Text Corpora That Serve As Critical-Apparatus Witnesses, With The Khmer Pāli Canon, Thon Ly Oct 2026

The Borrowable Standard: Orthographic Standardization, Text Normalization, Collation And Legacy Font Encoding In Text Corpora That Serve As Critical-Apparatus Witnesses, With The Khmer Pāli Canon, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

This study concerns orthographic standardisation, text normalisation and legacy character encoding as preconditions for machine-readable text corpora that must stand as witnesses in a critical apparatus. It begins from a claim it refutes: that a machine-readable corpus requires a standardised orthography. Swiss German and the Arabic dialects lack one yet support corpora and benchmarks by normalising toward a standard borrowed from a related language (Standard German, Modern Standard Arabic) or toward a convention built for the purpose (CODA). For a corpus that must be authoritative in its own language, a witness to a text rather than a corpus about a …


Technical Disclosure Specification: Spec-189-Core Isospectral Metric Embedding: Localized Resonant Memory Tiers And Empirical Proof Metrics For The Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection Model, Christopher L. Eckes Oct 2026

Technical Disclosure Specification: Spec-189-Core Isospectral Metric Embedding: Localized Resonant Memory Tiers And Empirical Proof Metrics For The Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection Model, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This standalone specification formalizes the two-layer operational blueprint for SPEC-189, bridging verified solid-state electronics engineering with the macro-scale validation criteria of the Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) model.

Section 1 documents the practical, room-temperature computational hardware framework, mapping multi-vendor tensor workloads to localized mechanical lattice strain metrics and implementing physical safety arrestors to optimize memory bus efficiency without a centralized clock cycle.

Section 2 establishes the formal cosmological mapping of this framework, treating quantum entanglement as a 2D spatial anchor tethered to a 3D topological knot within a twisted geometric manifold. To shield this framework against speculative categorization, Section 2 …


Technical Disclosure Specification: Spec-188-Master The Universal Blueprint For Future Ai Systems And Systemic Taxonomy: Integrated Five-Tier Prior Art Compendium (Spec 1 To Spec 187), Christopher L. Eckes Oct 2026

This document serves as a complete, one-stop-shop prior art blueprint safeguarding public domain, non-von Neumann co-harmonic technologies from …


Giving Is A Gift Too: How A Split Reward Ledger And Anonymity Make Every Family Member A Giver — Splitting Each Credit Between A Kept Account And An Earmarked Give-Only Balance, With Default Donor Anonymity, Family Scope And An Annual Reset, Thon Ly Oct 2026

Giving Is A Gift Too: How A Split Reward Ledger And Anonymity Make Every Family Member A Giver — Splitting Each Credit Between A Kept Account And An Earmarked Give-Only Balance, With Default Donor Anonymity, Family Scope And An Annual Reset, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

A peer-to-peer reward ledger is described in which every credit (an incentive reward for a recorded kind act, or a transfer received from another member) is split 50/50 at the moment of credit between a personal account the member keeps and an earmarked, forward-only giving balance whose only outflow is a transfer to another member. That transfer is itself a credit and splits again, so a quantity passed down a chain lands, in aggregate, exactly its own amount in personal accounts and creates nothing. Giver identity is withheld from recipients by default, the ledger is scoped to a family group, …


Technical Disclosure Specification: Spec-187-Master The Co-Harmonic Fabric: Integrated Ternary Namespaces And Solid-State Topological Mesh Panel Chassis For Harsh Environment Exascale Engines, Christopher L. Eckes Oct 2026

Technical Disclosure Specification: Spec-187-Master The Co-Harmonic Fabric: Integrated Ternary Namespaces And Solid-State Topological Mesh Panel Chassis For Harsh Environment Exascale Engines, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This master engineering specification establishes the structural, mathematical, and electrical blueprint for a non-von Neumann computing topology that completely dissolves the traditional boundary between software execution namespaces and physical hardware substrates. By structuring the computational fabric into an array of sub-microscopic Co-Harmonic Nodes (CHNs) operating within a native Ternary Hilbert Sub-Space (d=3), this architecture eliminates text-token translation bottlenecks and the classical data bus. Software states are represented as continuous multi-dimensional tensor fields that instantly manipulate and are modulated by the physical lattice strain profiles of the silicon via localized piezoelectric thin-films.

To safeguard this continuous wave fabric against extreme environmental, …


Technical Disclosure Specification: Usue-Compiler-Rev3 - Asymmetric Local Encryption Wrappers And Material Field Parsing Integration Tier For Runtime System Engines (Spec 186), Christopher L. Eckes Oct 2026

Technical Disclosure Specification: Usue-Compiler-Rev3 - Asymmetric Local Encryption Wrappers And Material Field Parsing Integration Tier For Runtime System Engines (Spec 186), Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This technical specification establishes the architectural design, syntax compilation toolchain, and low-level runtime mechanics for the USUE-COMPILER-REV3 engine (SPEC 186). Upgrading the intermediate representation frameworks outlined in SPEC 182, this specification introduces a standalone client-side compiler layer capable of parsing non-uniform multi-axis physical material stress fields directly into localized, cryptographically isolated data packets. Traditional software compilers treat physical sensor telemetry as static, separate numerical inputs, creating critical processing latency and memory leaks inside extreme-environment systems. This architecture resolves these constraints by mapping the material phase distributions (FCC vs. HCP) of an Eckesonium™ lattice (SPEC 173/185) directly onto an orthogonal wave …


Circulation Sports: A Category That Already Had Members And No Name — Classifying Keep-Up Circle Games, Cooperative Ball Games And Sports Warm-Up Drills By Scoring Unit, Guaranteed Equal Participation And No Individual Statistics, Thon Ly Oct 2026

Circulation Sports: A Category That Already Had Members And No Name — Classifying Keep-Up Circle Games, Cooperative Ball Games And Sports Warm-Up Drills By Scoring Unit, Guaranteed Equal Participation And No Individual Statistics, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

This study classifies cooperative and non-competitive ball games, keep-up circle games and sports warm-up drills by their scoring unit. Some sports score when an exchange ends; others score when it continues. A circulation sport is defined by three properties held as rules: it scores the completed pass rather than the termination; it guarantees that every participant receives the ball (by mandatory rotation, a called receiver or an all-must-touch rule); and it keeps no individual statistics. Below three participants a forward pass cannot be told from a return, a floor cited from work on generalized exchange and indirect reciprocity. A three-step …


Constituting An Artificial Person: Restraint As Constitution, And The Elemental Completeness Of An Aligned Mind — A Five-Register Ai Agent Architecture With Alignment Constraints As Constituents Of Agent Identity, A Counterfactual Removal Test For Corrigibility, And A Human Override That Never Reaches Zero, Thon Ly Oct 2026

Constituting An Artificial Person: Restraint As Constitution, And The Elemental Completeness Of An Aligned Mind — A Five-Register Ai Agent Architecture With Alignment Constraints As Constituents Of Agent Identity, A Counterfactual Removal Test For Corrigibility, And A Human Override That Never Reaches Zero, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We disclose an architecture for AI alignment and corrigibility in which the constraints that make an AI agent safe are specified as constituents of the agent's identity rather than as external constraints on an optimizer. The agent is modelled as four functional registers (a value substrate; binding to the people it serves; active practice; communicative reach) bound into one agent by an integrating register that is neither a further module nor a central observer, on the pattern of global-workspace integration. A completeness check tests a proposed agent for coverage across the registers rather than for capabilities, so a system passing …


A Zero-Centred Bilateral Credit Ledger For Customer Prepayment And Peer-To-Peer Lending In Which No Balance Grows On Its Own — A Size-Blind Reputation Display, And Debt Forgiveness As The Only Crossing Into A Gift Ledger, Thon Ly Oct 2026

A Zero-Centred Bilateral Credit Ledger For Customer Prepayment And Peer-To-Peer Lending In Which No Balance Grows On Its Own — A Size-Blind Reputation Display, And Debt Forgiveness As The Only Crossing Into A Gift Ledger, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We disclose a zero-centred bilateral credit ledger for customer prepayment and peer-to-peer lending in which no balance grows on its own. Two parties keep one running balance, signed by both and held on both phones, whose sign states who owes, so prepayment and credit are one balance either side of zero. The balance never moves by time. It changes only by a co-signed entry when cash or goods change hands, its discount fixed on that entry; by a co-signed repayment; or by a release the creditor makes alone. There is no accrual, compounding or late penalty; the ledger is non-accruing …


Conditional Discard Route Installation For Locally Originated Aggregate Prefixes, Anonymous Oct 2026

Conditional Discard Route Installation For Locally Originated Aggregate Prefixes, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

A network element that originates a summary route for an address block, and that would otherwise install a drop action entry for that summary prefix, first tests whether the element independently holds an active route of shorter prefix length that covers the summary prefix and that resolves to a usable forwarding next hop. Where such a covering route is held, and where the covering route does not resolve back through a peer to which the element advertises the summary, the element withholds the drop action entry, marks it inactive, or resolves it recursively through the covering route. Traffic for destinations …


Exploring The Effects Of A Five-Week Structured Exercise Program On Adolescents With Physician-Diagnosed Asthma, Christopher Byles Oct 2026

Exploring The Effects Of A Five-Week Structured Exercise Program On Adolescents With Physician-Diagnosed Asthma, Christopher Byles

Doctorate in Kinesiology

Asthma, a prevalent chronic disease among adolescents, poses challenges for healthcare providers and exercise professionals seeking evidence-based methods to improve health outcomes. Despite the established importance of structured exercise for managing asthma, limited research has examined its effects on adolescents with asthma in community-based settings. This exploratory study evaluated changes in lung function, asthma control, exercise capacity, and quality of life among adolescents with physician-diagnosed asthma following participation in a 5-week, supervised, community-based structured exercise program delivered in two formats: High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training (MICT). Five participants, adolescents aged 12-17 with physician-diagnosed asthma, were included in …


Children From Six Cultures Reliably Help Their Peers-But In Different Ways, Henriette Zeidler, Marie Schäfer, Esther Herrmann, Patricia Kanngiesser, Luke Maurits, Daniel Haun, Michael Tomasello Oct 2026

Children From Six Cultures Reliably Help Their Peers-But In Different Ways, Henriette Zeidler, Marie Schäfer, Esther Herrmann, Patricia Kanngiesser, Luke Maurits, Daniel Haun, Michael Tomasello

School of Psychology

Helping others is an integral part of human sociality, but systematic cross-cultural comparisons of children's helping behavior are rare. Existing work has mainly focused on interactions between adults and children, paying less attention to peer dynamics-which are more relevant in many cultural settings. Here, we report a study of 4- to 9-y-old children's (N = 336) spontaneous helping in 6 highly diverse populations in Latin America, Africa, and Europe (Wichí, Quechua, ≠Akhoe Hai||om, Samburu, Kikuyu, and Germans). In all settings, we observed pairs of same-aged children in an experimental task in which one partner could assist the other by providing …


A Replay-Based Big Data Framework For Predictive Maintenance In Industrial Iot, Muhammad Asad, Yaser Alhasawi, Salem Alghamdi, Dana Sami Bakry, Abderahman Rejeb Oct 2026

A Replay-Based Big Data Framework For Predictive Maintenance In Industrial Iot, Muhammad Asad, Yaser Alhasawi, Salem Alghamdi, Dana Sami Bakry, Abderahman Rejeb

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

The rapid growth of Industrial IoT (IIoT) has led to large volumes of sensor data, increasing the need for scalable and data-driven maintenance solutions. This paper presents a replay-based streaming framework for predictive maintenance that integrates Apache Kafka for data ingestion, Apache Spark Streaming for distributed processing, and an LSTM-based model for fault prediction. The NASA CMAPSS FD001 dataset is used in a controlled streaming simulation to evaluate the feasibility of processing multivariate degradation data under different workload levels. To reduce data leakage, engine units are split before sliding-window sequence construction. Experimental results show that the LSTM model achieves 90.4% …

Realities Of Engendering Federalization: Political Commitment To Gender Equality, Resources, And Policy, Christine S. Diaz Oct 2026

Realities Of Engendering Federalization: Political Commitment To Gender Equality, Resources, And Policy, Christine S. Diaz

Journal of Public Affairs and Development

Amid several initiatives to federalize the Philippines, discourse on engendering federalization remains scarce. This gap forms the basis of this study, which examined the realities of engendering federalization. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews and key informant interviews with research participants from various sectors in Davao City. Guided by Caren Levy’s Web of Institutionalization Framework, the study focused on three core dimensions: political commitment to gender equality, resources, and policy. The findings revealed that engendering federalization, particularly political commitment to gender equality, requires advocacy, institutionalization, gender awareness, and gender-sensitivity formation. Institutional mechanisms, policies, and resources are important for advancing gender-responsive …
