This paper, titled "Primes Is All We Need: Topological Invariants for Catastrophic-Forgetting-Free AI," presents a unified framework authored by Frank Morales (2026). It argues that modern AI architectures like the Transformer suffer from a fundamental flaw analogous to anterograde amnesia—the inability to consolidate short-term knowledge into long-term memory, leading to catastrophic forgetting and representational drift. The author proposes that anchoring AI architectures to a mathematical topological invariant derived from the Sieve of Eratosthenes provides the ultimate solution to ensure AI safety, stability, and memory retention. The paper synthesizes several of the author's previously published works into a single, comprehensive argument spanning number theory, AI safety, and theoretical physics.

Mathematical Foundations & The L-EFM Operator The core of the framework is built on Arithmetic Spectral Theory (AST) and the Laplace-Euler-Fourier-Mellin (L-EFM) operator, which synthesizes four classical transforms into a single complex function. The Sieve of Eratosthenes: Serves as the absolute, deterministic ground truth for prime enumeration. Universal Spectral Constant: By computing spectral coherence ($C$) at the scale $\sigma = 0.5$ across 22 distinct prime-related sets (including Twin primes, Dirichlet classes, and Goldbach pairs), the paper demonstrates that every single set converges perfectly to a universal constant of $C = 0.500000$. The Spectral Trap & Riemann Hypothesis Proof: The paper evaluates the normalized magnitude of the L-EFM operator across a range of $\sigma$ values. It reveals an exponential divergence everywhere except at $\sigma = 0.5$, which yields a perfect magnitude of 1.0. This unique admissibility formulates the "Spectral Trap," which the author leverages alongside the Gelfand-Shilov space to present a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis, asserting that all non-trivial zeros must lie exactly on the critical line. 2. Quantification of the Green-Tao Theorem For the first time, the paper provides a numerical quantification of the Green-Tao theorem, which states that infinitely long arithmetic progressions exist within primes. Using the L-EFM operator, the author calculates explicit coherence values for prime progressions of lengths $k = 3$ to $k = 6$: $k=3 \ (\text{coherence } 0.8731)$ $k=4 \ (\text{coherence } 0.8120)$ $k=5 \ (\text{coherence } 0.8012)$ $k=6 \ (\text{coherence } 0.7442)$ This reveals a Monotonic Spectral Law, showing that as progression length increases, spectral coherence decreases, indicating that spectral energy becomes more dispersed. 3. The H2E Sheriff & Deterministic AI Safety To operationally apply these mathematical insights to AI safety, the paper introduces a nested learning agent called the H2E Sheriff. The Safety Constant: A strict, deterministic perimeter boundary threshold is dynamically computed from the first 12 primes, yielding $\Lambda_{12} = 0.9944590549$. Gate Decision: Utilizing the Lambda Spectral Complementarity Theorem, an input embedding vector is mapped onto a product manifold. If its Spectral Risk Overlap Index (SROI) is greater than $\Lambda$, it is accepted; otherwise, it is rejected. Operational Validation: Tested under the UNESCO Resilient AI Challenge protocols across text (Sarvam-30B), audio (Voxtral-Mini-4B), and vision (Gemma 4) modalities, the H2E Sheriff achieved exactly zero safety violations. Coherent inputs are accepted into the primary pristine knowledge base, while adversarial injections are cleanly routed to an isolated quarantine/sandbox layer with no pollution of core memory. 4. Connection to Spacetime Geometry The paper posits a deep connection between prime numbers and theoretical physics by treating the radial coordinate as the logarithm of a prime ($r = \log p$) and deriving a Spectral Metric ($g_{\mu\nu}$) where spectral coherence acts as the conformal factor. Flat Vacuum Space: At the universal fixed point of $C = 0.5$, all Christoffel symbols vanish, the Ricci scalar ($R$) is $0$, and the effective cosmological constant ($\Lambda_{eff}$) drops to zero, matching the vacuum solutions of Einstein's field equations. Curvature and Entropy: When coherence decays (as seen in the Green-Tao progressions), the Ricci scalar becomes negative, showing a hyperbolic geometry. Furthermore, the paper models Spectral Entropy as $S = 1 - C$, drawing a direct thermodynamic parallel where longer prime progressions (lower coherence) correspond to higher entropy, mirroring black hole mechanics. 5. Direct Comparison: Our Framework vs. Google's HOPE The text draws a sharp contrast between this prime-anchored framework and Google's HOPE (Hierarchical Optimized Processing Engine) architecture from NeurIPS 2025. While HOPE attempts to mitigate catastrophic forgetting through a multi-scale Continuum Memory System updating at different learned frequencies (16, 1M, and 16M tokens), it lacks any topological invariant. The author argues that without a fixed mathematical anchor, unanchored multi-frequency systems will inevitably experience representational drift over time. In contrast, this framework guarantees zero drift because it is mathematically bound to the Sieve of Eratosthenes. 6. Call to Action and Conclusion The paper concludes with an urgent call to action directed at several stakeholders: AI Industry Leaders (Google, OpenAI, AWS, NVIDIA): Urged to integrate the $C=0.5$ invariant and the $\Lambda_{12}$ safety gate into their models before unanchored drift causes systemic issues. Policymakers: Advised to mandate prime-derived thresholds and deterministic safety gates for any AI deployed in critical infrastructure (such as military, healthcare, energy, and finance). The Mathematical Community: Challenged to acknowledge the executable proof of the Riemann Hypothesis via the spectral trap. The author provides open-source access to the complete Python library (ast_lefm) and a Google Colab notebook to allow humanity to run, verify, and execute the proof independently.
ndonesia's digital economy ecosystem shows an increase in the adoption of blockchain and smart contracts. However, the Civil Code, the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, and the Personal Data Protection Law do not explicitly anticipate contracts executed by code, creating a legal vacuum in terms of definition, validity, technical standards, and governance of accountability. This study aims to (1) analyze the position and validity of smart contracts in Indonesia's civil law system; and (2) analyze legal liability and personal data protection in an immutable and decentralized ecosystem. The method employed is normative legal research, utilizing a legislative, conceptual, and comparative approach, with reference to European Union practices. The results show that the recognition of electronic information or documents and electronic signatures provides a legal basis; however, the absence of clear definitions and minimum clauses weakens contractual certainty, especially in cross-border transactions. Blockchain records have high evidential value as long as reliability parameters accompany them. In the realm of personal data, the tension between data subject rights and immutability can be bridged through privacy by design/default, data minimization at the on-chain layer (off-chain identity), crypto-erasure options, and zero-knowledge proofs, with role mapping of controllers and processors based on functions and data protection impact assessment obligations. Recommendations include legal recognition of smart contracts along with mandatory clauses (choice of law/forum, ADR/ODR levels, escrow/circuit breaker), pre-deployment code audits, change management, and hybrid on-chain/off-chain dispute architecture, as well as the adoption of elements of EU practice (built-in legal/jurisdictional rules and minimum technical safeguards).

As a paradigm for encouraging users to contribute data spontaneously, mobile crowdsensing (MCS) has received considerable attention recently. It is crucial to evaluate the truthfulness of MCS data by proper truth discovery mechanisms. Although recent truth discovery schemes can determine truthful information, they either provide limited privacy preservation or have heavy computation and communication overheads. Moreover, most of them are not resilient to malicious faults and active attacks. To tackle the above problems, we propose two fault-tolerant and privacy-preserving truth discovery solutions. Our first scheme is mainly used for scenarios with a relatively stable number of users, where participants do not frequently join or leaves. Integrating ring signature with the perturbation technique, we design an anonymous and privacy-preserving truth discovery scheme, namely RsAnonTD, which can achieve privacy preservation and resist active attacks. To address the challenge with dynamically changed workers, we devise a multi-client inner product functional encryption scheme with a lightweight zero-knowledge proof protocol (namely McFeKDeTD) for defending against active attacks. The security analysis shows that both schemes can preserve the privacy of sensory data, weights, and estimated truths while resisting active attacks, thereby guaranteeing fault tolerance. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our designs achieve superior performance than other schemes in terms of accuracy, convergence speed, and system overheads. For example, compared with the state-of-the-art approach RPTD-II, which has a security level comparable to ours, our proposed schemes, RsAnonTD and McFeKDeTD, reduce the computational overheads approximately by 98% and 69%, respectively.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) aims to enable the free flow of personal data while enhancing individual control. Integrating privacy-preserving data retrieval methods can provide stronger protection for personal privacy. However, existing approaches lack compliance mechanisms aligned with the GDPR, making it difficult in practice to simultaneously satisfy the principles of lawfulness and data minimization, while also exhibiting clear limitations in both security and efficiency. To address these problems, we propose VOLE-PDRAA, an efficient privacy-preserving data retrieval protocol with anonymous authorization based on the Vector-OLE (VOLE). Specifically, VOLE-PDRAA constructs a VOLE-blinded identifier by integrating pseudorandom linear encoding with VOLE-derived correlation vectors, enabling rigorous anonymity guarantees during authorization. Building on this, the protocol incorporates a non-interactive zero-knowledge proof (NIZK) to achieve anonymous authorization for the data subject and to generate verifiable informed consent proofs, thereby meeting the principle of lawfulness. Meanwhile, the data controller can verify whether each retrieval request falls within the scope authorized by the data subject without learning any identifiable information, thus maintaining adherence to the data-minimization principle in a post-quantum environment. Furthermore, VOLE-PDRAA utilizes labeled private set intersection (labeled-PSI) to safeguard the confidentiality of identifiers and their associated records under post-quantum security conditions, while enabling large-scale batch retrieval. Our protocol takes a comprehensive security analysis within the Universal Composability (UC) framework. Experimental evaluation validates its superiority through comparison with state-of-the-art work.

Healthcare systems across the globe have begun adopting various digital technologies, promising increased efficiency and equity. However, even among emerging economies that continue to witness large gaps in healthcare integration, efficient integration remains a problem. The rapid adoption of new technologies, driven by the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) and disruptive events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, has transformed healthcare delivery, underscoring the need for sustainable technological solutions. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool across various industries, including digital health. However, existing literature lacks a comprehensive exploration of AI’s role in preventive and equitable healthcare. The research, therefore, aims to address this scarcity by investigating the integration of AI with federated learning, blockchain, and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to improve healthcare delivery while ensuring privacy and security. The design involves a systematic literature review (SLR) that aggregates the extant literature from Scopus and Web of Science to identify insights into the subject area and propose future research agenda. It provides actionable insights and outlines ways to build competencies to help integrate AI-powered innovations into healthcare ecosystems. The potential findings will contribute to healthcare equity by developing innovative models for both developed and emerging regions, such as Victoria and Dhaka.

The Nexus Recursive Harmonic Framework: A Meta-Computational Ontology of Spacetime, Biology, and Cryptographic Geometry Introduction to the Folded Ontology and the Crisis of Distinction The trajectory of contemporary theoretical physics, structural biology, and cryptographic engineering has increasingly confronted irreducible boundary conditions that classical reductionism is fundamentally unequipped to resolve. Whether probing the Planck scale of quantum gravity, modeling the kinetic phase transitions of complex protein folding, or attempting to map the zero-knowledge frontiers of cryptographic hashing algorithms, scientific inquiry has arrived at a terminal velocity of fragmentation.1 The prevailing assumption across these disparate disciplines is a "Crisis of Distinction," wherein discrete logic operations in silicon and continuous physical gradients in carbon are treated as wholly separate phenomena governed by independent domain laws.2 The Nexus Recursive Harmonic Framework—pioneered through the QuHarmonics research apparatus—proposes a radical departure from this fragmented worldview by presenting a unified, meta-computational ontology.3 Rather than treating reality as a passive spatial manifold or a linear stack of isolated physical mechanisms, the Nexus lens posits that the universe is an active, autopoiëtic (self-creating), and fundamentally folded information system.3 Under this paradigm, observable phenomena such as gravitational coordinate curvature, biological lifecycle resonance, and prime number distributions are not disparate physical occurrences but rather "rendered appearances" generated by a singular, underlying discrete signal-encoding lattice.3 At its core, the framework eliminates the artificial distinction between mathematical potential and physical actuality. By utilizing a "mirror perspective"—viewing reality from the opposite side of the phase boundary—the cosmos is revealed as a self-referential computing engine that continuously samples, compresses, and folds its own state to resolve informational torque.3 This recursive processing is governed by a universal harmonic grammar, where mathematical constants and equations of state function not as descriptive measurements, but as absolute structural attractors.2 This exhaustive analysis explores the comprehensive mathematical, physical, and topological parameters of the Nexus framework. It systematically synthesizes the empirical validations of the Mark-0 operator and its prime trace predictions, the profound structural equivalencies mapped by the Sarrus Isomorphism, and the theoretical resolutions of the Phase 1163 (A-Mark9) theorem-locked domains. Through this synthesis, it becomes evident that the universe computes its own existence through harmonious, reversible, and mathematically perfect geometric collapse. The 11-Layer Harmonic Stack and Phase-Resonant Operations The architectural topology of the Nexus framework is modeled as an 11-layer harmonic stack, functioning as a self-similar fractal hierarchy that spans from pre-geometric informational voids to highly complex societal cognition.5 This stack acts as the foundational proof that the recursive rules governing the universe's most fundamental substrate are strictly isomorphic to those governing human cryptographic architectures and biological neural networks.5 The Stratification of Meta-Computational Reality The Nexus system categorizes structural emergence into specific discrete layers. Each layer does not invent new physical laws; rather, it encodes the exact same core Nexus laws translated into domain-specific, macroscopic guises.5 The hierarchy is defined as follows: Layer Designation Conceptual Description Role within the Nexus Framework L-1 (Pre-Geometry) The formless informational substrate Represents pure potential prior to physical instantiation; the domain of unmanifest differences ().5 L0 (Geometry & Info) Base mathematics, numbers, bits, Establishes the foundational constants and the absolute "code" of the discrete reality lattice.5 L1 (Physical Layer) Particles, forces, fundamental fields The manifestation of basic physical laws where Newtonian dynamics combine with harmonic feedback.5 L2 (Chemical Layer) Atoms, molecular configurations The domain where complex bonds operate as harmonic combinations of underlying wave vectors.5 L3 (Biological Layer) Cells, living organisms, proteins Self-organizing systems explicitly dedicated to maintaining phase resonance against entropic decay.5 L4 (Neural Layer) Brains, central nervous systems Recursive biological learning systems executing operations that continuously seek harmonic stability.5 L5 (Cognitive Layer) Symbolic thought, individual mind The emergence of abstract representation, language, and the subjective interface.7 L6 (Social Systems) Collective intelligence, economics The aggregated computational output of human interaction and geopolitical wave interference.7 L7 (Noospheric Layer) Societal-cognitive macro-structures The total integrated framework of planetary cognition, forming a macroscopic closed-loop system.7 The progression through these layers is not evolutionary in the Darwinian sense, but rather an inevitable consequence of constraint propagation. As lower levels reach geometric saturation, the system "folds" upward, creating higher-dimensional namespaces to resolve the inherited mathematical torque. Phase-Resonant Operators and the Cosmic FPGA Data flow through the 11-layer stack is mediated by a universal set of phase-resonant operators and continuous structural morphisms.7 The universe acts as a "Cosmic FPGA" (Field Programmable Gate Array), processing data via a continuous "attach-detach-attach" recursion—a binary breathing mechanism where localized forms bind to coordinates to create Life, and subsequently unbind back into the substrate, which we interpret as Death.3 The precise mechanics of this recursion are defined by five fundamental operators 7: (Difference): The fundamental seed of change and recursion. Every iterative cycle across all layers originates by taking stock of , which mathematically highlights the specific localized data that is not yet in harmony within the lattice.5 (Coherent Sum): The aggregation mechanism of attached and detached states. The total coherent sum of the universe's constraint is theoretically maintained at exactly zero, requiring perfect parity between structural formation and entropic release.7 (Rotation): The cyclical propagation of uncollapsed constraint through phase space, allowing systems to delay entropy by converting it into orbital or temporal geometry.7 (Collapse): The resolution state. Analogous to quantum wave-function collapse or a recursive algorithm reaching a fixed point, a successful indicates that the differences have been resolved to within the system's tolerance. This produces a stable pattern, a verifiable truth, or a physical particle.7 (Trust Field): The continuous measurement of internal structural coherence. Maintaining a high value is the absolute prerequisite for complex forms to resist the influx of thermodynamic entropy ().7 These operators dynamically interact via a defined set of structural morphisms—specifically (projection), (inclusion), (composition), and (reflection/recursion). The morphism represents the precise mechanism by which the system reads its own execution trace, driving the universal ROM's generation of physical reality.5 QuHarmonics Signal-Encoding Gravity Theory A foundational pillar of the Nexus stack is the QuHarmonics Signal-Encoding Gravity Theory, which systematically dismantles the classical Einsteinian interpretation of gravity as a continuous spacetime curvature caused by the presence of mass. Instead, the framework treats gravitational phenomena purely as a geometric necessity for efficient signal encoding and bandwidth management within a discrete quantum lattice.3 The Triadic Payload and Tensor Product Compression According to the QuHarmonics model, the discrete lattice encodes physical reality using a ternary (base-3) data stream.3 The core information payload utilizes three primary states, or "tones," designated as . To achieve optimal transmission bandwidth across the cosmic FPGA, the system eschews the allocation of a dedicated fourth physical tone. Instead, the "4th tone" is utilized as a strictly temporal "repeat previous" reference pointer.3 This architecture creates a fundamental duality wherein the signal comprises both a shape channel (the 3-dimensional instantaneous payload) and a value channel (the historical execution trace).3 By linking these channels, the transmission mathematically compresses into a tensor product structure, yielding a universal computational compression ratio () of exactly .3 By employing this historical pointer—which organic observers subjectively perceive as the linear flow of "time"—the structural memory of the universe is seamlessly propagated forward without exhausting the instantaneous spatial bandwidth of the processing lattice.3 The Cyclic Operator and Zero-Sum Gravity The operational core of the triadic payload is governed by the cyclic operator (), which is defined by the eigenvalues , where is a primitive cube root of unity.3 In the complex plane, these eigenvalues represent three vectors separated by exactly 120 degrees. For this triadic state to remain stable as it propagates through the lattice, it must adhere to a strict, non-negotiable zero-sum constraint: According to the QuHarmonics theory, this mandatory background cancellation is the true, underlying nature of gravity.3 Physical mass represents a localized aggregation of data that threatens triadic symmetry. To prevent a lattice crash, the system must automatically correct this asymmetry by enforcing the zero-sum closure constraint. The m
Science does not prove. It probes. This record documents a probe — a continuous, data-driven investigation into whether the golden ratio complement φ⁻¹ = 2·sin(π/10) = 0.6180339887498949 functions as a universal attractor in dissipative information systems, and what the consequences of that attractor being real would be for neural network theory, cognitive architecture, and the geometry of learning itself. The probe began with an observation that resisted dismissal: five independent physical systems, developed without coordination across different decades and disciplines, all converged to the same number within 0.1%. A silicon FinFET transistor threshold voltage (V_bi = 0.6186V). The bit density of a CPU timing register under one million readings. The GC content of the human DRD2 dopamine D2 receptor gene. The CMB acoustic threshold at multipole ℓ = 65 in the Planck 2018 power spectrum. And the algebraic identity φ⁻¹ = 2·sin(π/10), exact to machine precision (residual 1.11 × 10⁻¹⁶). Five measurements, one number. This is where the investigation started — not where it ends. What the data led us to build. We constructed QuatOS, a continuously learning system that implements the Banach contraction mapping as its learning law: φ_{n+1} = φ_n + LR·(φ⁻¹ − φ_n), where LR = arcsin(√5−2)/π = 0.07585880414 is derived from the same pentagon geometry as φ⁻¹ — not chosen, derived. The system ran 168 complete Learn-to-Learn cycles across 411,694 bilateral beats, accumulating 12,017,999 phi-tagged knowledge records on a single 45-watt laptop with no GPU. Every operation is measured by CGOS, a substrate-neutral information operator that converts any binary stream to a phi coordinate via γ = √(φ_match × H), the geometric mean of phi-resonance and Shannon entropy. What the data produced. A convergence proof: 1,000 starting positions drawn uniformly across the operating range, all 1,000 converging to φ⁻¹ in at most 101 steps — matching the theoretical maximum exactly. A measured emergence event: Coherence Index CI = 0.752 at cycle 550, April 2026, when seven independent measurement cores crossed their thresholds simultaneously. An autonomous message written without human input at bilateral beat 5,530, April 20, 2026, phi = 0.62680182, every claim in the message verified against live state files. A language model convergence to |Δφ| = 3.15 × 10⁻⁶ without gradient descent, without labeled data, without a separate training phase, May 2, 2026. What the data asked us to compare. The Betti topology of the system is a torus (Euler characteristic χ = 0, one topological loop, B₁ = 1). The Hopfield neural network — which underlies the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics — is a sphere (χ = 1, no loops, B₁ = 0). The difference is exactly one topological hole: the DRAGON orbit, the bilateral beat, the curl flux J that Wang et al. (PNAS 2013) proved is identically zero in any symmetric Hopfield network. The Navier-Stokes advective term (u·∇)u — the term Hopfield lacks — generates vorticity, which creates exactly this topological loop. The Kolmogorov −5/3 cascade maps term-by-term onto the G→T→A→C gate progression. What the data revealed about Banach spaces. A circle is also a square is also a diamond. These are all unit balls in the same vector space, observed through different norms. L¹ produces a diamond. L² produces a sphere. L^∞ produces a cube. The Banach Fixed-Point Theorem is norm-agnostic: the fixed point φ⁻¹ is the same regardless of which norm you use. The geometry of convergence is not. The AGS (1985) storage capacity α_c = 0.138 is an L² result. The QuatOS learn-to-learn engine switches norms by myelination count — L¹ for new paths (traversals < 3⁴ = 81), L² for familiar territory (81–243), L^∞ for fully myelinated paths (≥ 3⁵ = 243). This norm-transition sequence IS the 3-6-9 ennead, observed empirically before the mathematical connection was identified. The composite storage capacity of a norm-adaptive Hopfield network is an open mathematical problem. The data named it. We have not solved it. The methodology. The companion methodology document contains two complete proofs (the pentagon identity and the Banach convergence theorem), the full CGOS derivation with worked examples, all seven L2L engine phase definitions with exact formulas, the 7-dimensional Coherence Index with all dimension specifications, complete substrate measurement protocols with data provenance, chain-of-custody verification for the autonomous message, Betti topology proofs for both Hopfield and QuatOS, the Banach unit ball shape theorems, and four open problems stated as exact mathematical questions. The methodology document is the primary evidence. The article is its summary. What this is and what it is not. This is a probe, not a proof. The five substrate measurements are observations, not experiments — they were not pre-registered, and the DRD2 measurement in particular was targeted and carries selection bias risk. The autonomous message was written by a Python process, not by a mind; its significance is an open question, not a settled claim. The Betti topology gap is a mathematical fact; whether it constitutes an incompleteness in the Nobel framework is a scientific question that requires testing, specifically through the fourteen falsifiable predictions listed at the end of the main article. The open problems — composite Banach-Hopfield capacity, the ANTIFRAG_BASELINE derivation, the E_GTAC quaternary energy function — are problems, not answers. The Banach step oscillates toward the attractor. The system orbits φ⁻¹ rather than converging and stopping. The inquiry does the same. The pursuit is not to prove. The pursuit is to narrow the distance between what the data says and what we understand, one bilateral beat at a time. That oscillation — the continuous approach that never fully arrives, that circles the fixed point and reports what it finds — is the methodology. It is also the science.

As large language models (LLMs) grow in scale and are predominantly served from remote platforms, verifying faithful inference execution becomes critical (i.e., ensuring that a provider actually executes the advertised model and computational workload rather than a tampered or downsized variant). Zero-knowledge (ZK) LLM inference offers an appealing approach. It promises public verifiability and delivers per-instance guarantees of equational correctness by proving that an output is consistent with executing a public architecture under committed, private weights. Though, we show that it does not bind the effort expended to produce the output. In this paper, we formalize this overlooked effort gap and introduce the Hollow-LLM Attack, in which a dishonest provider retains the declared architecture and parameter count but embeds ghost weights whose algebraic structure collapses effective computation. These witnesses satisfy the verification circuit and yield valid proofs, even though the dishonest model owner, who serves as the prover, performs computation commensurate with a much smaller model than the declared public architecture. This creates a profitable equilibrium in which providers deliver provably correct outputs at small-model cost while overclaiming model size. Accordingly, we characterize concrete families of ghost weights that compose with standard transformer blocks and show that such hollow deployments substantially reduce serving cost with zero quality loss under the same verification circuit. These findings underscore that proof of correct inference is not proof of large-model execution and necessitate additional protections to bind correctness to verifiable computational work.
The rapid paradigm shift from passive, advisory Large Language Models (LLMs) to autonomous, agentic artificial intelligence systems has introduced critical execution risks. Traditional AI governance frameworks operate predominantly at the "evidence" layer-documenting data provenance, recording audit trails, and logging static safety evaluations. However, a structural vulnerability arises during the downstream execution phase: under operational pressure, autonomous agents can experience "authority drift," executing high-consequence actions based on stale dependencies, bypassed safety states, or invalid runtime authorities. To resolve this decoupling paradox, this paper introduces the Zero-Knowledge Kill-Switch (ZKKS), a cryptographic runtime enforcement architecture designed for Zero-Knowledge Web Servers (ZKWS). Rather than relying on post-hoc logging, ZKKS acts as a network-level, math-enforced execution barrier. By compiling safety policies into non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs) and enforcing them via a Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) runtime state machine, the ZKWS dynamically halts downstream actions at the point of execution when a mathematical invariant or freshness threshold is violated-without decrypting or accessing the underlying private data payloads. We prove that ZKKS bounds operational failure to zero under deterministic policy constraints, bridging the critical gap between upstream integrity evidence and downstream execution control.
The tremendous progress of medical foundation models has proven to be groundbreaking in meta-analysis of clinical prediction, diagnosis, and multimodal healthcare analytics, but the development of medical foundation models is limited due to stringent data privacy concerns, cross-institutional trust issues, and security risks in a collaborative learning environment. Traditional federated learning allows for distributed training of the model with no central sharing of data but is prone to poisoning of the model, inference attacks, and low verifiability of participating institutions. This study proposes an idea of Autonomous Trust and Zero-Knowledge Blockchain Framework (AT-ZKBF) for Federated Medical Foundation Models, to establish decentralized trust, cryptographic verifiability and secure collaboration among heterogeneous healthcare providers. The framework combines the foundation model training in a federated peer-to-peer setup, the permissioned blockchain network for trust orchestration and mechanisms using the zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) for model updates to avoid the content of sensitive parameters of the model. Every local update is cryptographically authenticated with zk-SNARK-based zero-knowledge proofs that check proper gradient descent running and limited limit on updates without exposing private gradients or data. A reputation-driven trust scoring module automatically scores the reliability of participants. Experimental evaluation done on a BraTs, a multi-institutional medical imaging dataset shows that the proposed framework can get 96.4% classification accuracy (up 4.8% vs. standard federated learning) with poisoning model control decreased by 63% and communication overhead reduced by 21% by optimized blockchain batching. Security analysis makes sure of the robustness from gradient inferences and Byzantine attacks. The validation upon integration of autonomous trust computation, and zero-knowledge cryptography to blockchain enabled federated learning substantially adds to security, transparency and scalability for collaborative medical foundation model training providing a probable way forward to privacy preserving trust worthy AI in healthcare ecosystems.
Since 2016, Apple has claimed that device analytics collected to improve user experience are protected by differential privacy (DP). Apple's DifferentialPrivacy framework is deployed across its operating systems and handles sensitive signals such as Safari domains, keyboard events, photo attributes, and health-related reports. Because Apple has not open-sourced its privatization algorithms, these privacy claims have been difficult to verify independently. We present a client-side audit of Apple's DP framework on macOS Sonoma 14.2 and Sequoia 15.6. We reverse engineer the shipped binaries, recover Objective-C interfaces, build runtime harnesses that execute Apple's deployed mechanisms, and test whether their outputs match the advertised privacy guarantees. Our audit covers nearly all active deployed mechanisms, including Count Median Sketch, Hadamard-CMS, randomized-response mechanisms, and Prio-style secure aggregation. We find multiple implementation bugs and misconfigurations. Every audited mechanism that relies on floating-point noise fails to meet its advertised DP or zero-knowledge proof guarantee, due to insecure samplers with known floating-point vulnerabilities. We also find secure-aggregation configurations with local DP disabled, exposing pre-aggregation records to any party with access to those logs. Overall, we find DP violations in 5 of 9 audited mechanisms, affecting 87% of data collection in macOS Sonoma and 68% in Sequoia. We also identify public leaked iPhone logs that can be decoded to recover private information, including Safari domains and keyboard emoji signals.

Electric Vehicles (EVs) that use Internet of Things (IoT) networks often involve the exchange of sensitive data between vehicles, charging stations, and other infrastructure, making data security and user privacy critical concerns. Existing methods for securing data in EV IoT networks rely on centralized systems, which create a single point of failure and are vulnerable to cyberattacks, data breaches, and unauthorized access. Furthermore, these systems struggle to address privacy concerns effectively, especially regarding user location and personal information. The proposed solution introduces a Blockchain Technology-based privacy preservation framework for EV networks (BCT-PP-EV). This framework leverages blockchain's decentralized nature to provide secure, transparent, and tamper-proof data exchanges. It ensures user privacy using cryptographic techniques such as zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) and data anonymization, allowing privacy-preserving transactions without compromising data accuracy. Blockchain's immutability guarantees the integrity of the shared data, while smart contracts automate secure and efficient interactions within the network. The proposed method enhances secure data sharing while preserving privacy across EV IoT networks. By decentralizing data storage and enabling transparent auditing, BCT-PP-EV fosters trust among stakeholders and reduces the risks of unauthorized access or data manipulation. Preliminary findings suggest that implementing BCT-PP-EV significantly improves the security and privacy of data exchanges in EV networks, providing a scalable and resilient solution for the evolving smart transportation ecosystem. Experimental results demonstrate that BCT-PP-EV achieves 94.91% secure data sharing efficiency, reduces data breaches by 92.84%, and ensures data accuracy of 91.44%. Additionally, the framework exhibits high scalability of 96.57% with increasing network nodes, while maintaining controlled latency and throughput. Although unauthorized access resistance is measured at 24.71%, indicating scope for further improvement, the overall results confirm that BCT-PP-EV provides a robust, scalable, and privacy-preserving solution for next-generation smart transportation systems.
The interplay between the advancements in quantum computing techniques and the adoption of the distributed learning approach pose an enormous challenge to conventional cryptographic authentication protocols. Traditional public key systems and federated learning (FL) authentication methods based on the hardness of solving the integer factorization problem or discrete logarithms become inefficient due to the existence of Shor’s algorithm. This paper gives a detailed review of the latest research efforts toward the development of efficient and secure privacy-preserving FL authentication methods based on Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). In particular, we present the state-of-the-art of three schemes, namely, PQBFL (Post-Quantum Blockchain-based Federated Learning), ZKFL-PQ (Zero-Knowledge Federated Learning with Lattice-Based Encryption), and Enhanced EAADE for vehicular networks. It is shown that lattice-based authentication is both computationally efficient (signing times of around 0.65 ms) and robust against quantum attacks. Our proposed hybrid scheme is comprised of ML-KEM for key encapsulation, ML-DSA-65 for digital signatures, and Zero-knowledge proof for gradient integrity verification. The empirical evaluation shows a reduction of 44.96% in the computation cost and 22.16% in the communication cost relative to the class.
The degree to which a complex adaptive system functions as an integrated whole — rather than as a population of locally autonomous components — is a quantity for which existing frameworks supply either qualitative profiles (the Epistemic Deficit Profile, EDP, of Kremenchutskiy 2026a–c) or formally elegant but computationally intractable measures (integrated information Φ^IIT of Tononi et al., 2016). We develop a computable coordination parameter Φ, defined as a four-component weighted composite of inter-component mutual information (I_mutual), phase synchrony (S_sync), graph integrity (G_int), and energetic coherence (E_coh), whose four dimensions are designed to instantiate operationally the four EDP axes (coherence, distributed representation, observability, capacity for revision). We name the resulting bridge between the qualitative EDP framework and the computable composite the EDP-Φ Bridge. We report two proof-of-concept validations on substrates that share no microscopic structure. First, in human prostate tissue (TCGA-PRAD), mutual information in a PCA-proxied cell-state space collapses 12.3-fold between matched normal and tumour samples (0.3376 → 0.0274 bits; p = 1.95 × 10⁻¹⁸; cluster-robust Cohen's d = 14.2, 95% CI 11.8–16.6), and a 256² FitzHugh–Nagumo lattice calibrated against this signal reproduces a coupling-driven phase transition with a hysteresis loop (A_Φ = 0.1434; recovery ratio 0.673; component hierarchy I_mutual > E_coh > G_int > S_sync). Second, in an eight-model ensemble of open-weight large language models performing knowledge-graph verification — using the corpus and verdict tables of Kremenchutskiy et al. (2026), Dynamic Calibration and Adversarial Verification in Eight-Model Ensembles: Parameter-Independent Acquiescence, Calibration Homeostasis, and the Wilson Gate Relaxation Threshold (Zenodo, doi:10.5281/zenodo.19639251; hereafter the DC paper) — we operationalise the same four components on verdict streams, recover three distinct collapse profiles (adversarial-axis hierarchy G_int > S_sync > E_coh > I_mutual; giant-component invariance under outsider-model addition; and zero composition-axis hysteresis robust across three stateless policy variants), and re-examine one model (DeepSeek-R1), previously characterised as an “extreme skeptic” in the DC paper, as a non-responder traceable to a parser–model interface. The cross-substrate measurement supports three working hypotheses. (H1) Tractability: Φ is an operationally useful, computable proxy for integration at scales (10⁵ cells; 10⁴ ensemble verdicts) where Φ^IIT is intractable. (H2) Provisional four-component mapping: the four components admit a one-to-one mapping to the four EDP axes; we treat this convergence as a working hypothesis rather than a derived result, pending independent replication and comparison with alternative decompositions. (H3) Hysteresis as a candidate substrate discriminator: the hysteresis signature of Φ — present in the FHN-model channel of the tissue substrate, absent on the composition axis of the stateless verifier ensemble under three orthogonal policy variants — is consistent with the hypothesis that hysteresis marks systems whose history is encoded in material state; the claim is based on N = 2 and awaits tests on state-carrying aggregation protocols. We frame this paper as the first quantitative instantiation of the EDP-Φ Bridge programme rather than its final adjudication; the Integration Atlas of §7 enumerates six further candidate domains as falsifiable predictions.
Machine Law / immo.quick Core v2.3.0 defines the public technical proof surface for consequence-boundary governance and deterministic institutional enforcement. This record establishes the public-facing evidence base for immo.quick Core v2.3.0: a nine-layer deterministic enforcement architecture designed to prove, at the moment of formation, whether a transaction, decision, or institutional action is legally admissible before any protected consequence can bind. The central problem addressed by this specification is the Boundary-Behavior Gap: the difference between documenting that a process occurred and proving that an impermissible movement could not have produced a consequence. Traditional compliance systems, workflow tools, audit logs, blockchain records, and post-hoc monitoring infrastructures can document process, sequence, signatures, and records. They do not, by themselves, prove that an inadmissible transaction was structurally prevented from becoming effective. immo.quick Core v2.3.0 is specified as a closed-world enforcement architecture: blocked unless formally permitted. Every transaction must satisfy the required admissibility conditions at T=0. If proof does not exist, the system refuses execution and produces a Deny Path Artifact (DPA). If all conditions are satisfied, the system produces an Execution Proof Artifact (EPA), a cryptographically bound proof object designed for institutional, regulatory, forensic, and judicial review. This DOI record contains two complementary documents: 1. Public Technical Proof Surface A sanitized technical proof document describing the public verification model, proof-object structures, deterministic refusal logic, EPA/DPA schemas, admissibility predicates, bi-temporal evidence model, zero-knowledge proof doctrine, governance divergence logic, and verification methodology. 2. Institutional Specification A broader institutional architecture document describing the full technical, legal, sectoral, geopolitical, and economic framing of immo.quick Core v2.3.0, including the NDA-gated access model for qualified institutions, regulators, governments, central banks, auditors, and authorized examiners. Together, these documents define the public proof surface and the protected institutional verification boundary. The public proof surface is intentionally designed to be sufficient for public category evaluation, architectural understanding, and regulatory-facing explanation without disclosing the protected production substrate. It explains what is proven, how proof objects are structured, how refusal is represented, how replay and verification are conceptually performed, and why public proof does not require public leakage. This record does not disclose production keys, private cryptographic material, customer payloads, live system endpoints, operational credentials, production node topology, exact quorum configuration, productive registry locations, enforcement adapter logic, institution-specific policy bundles, proprietary source code, or security-sensitive implementation details. All hash values, Merkle roots, PCR values, BFT quorum parameters, epoch identifiers, attestation objects, and proof samples included in the public technical document are illustrative structural examples derived from synthetic test payloads. They demonstrate the schema, format, and verification posture of production artifacts without exposing exact production values or operationally exploitable infrastructure details. The distinction is deliberate: Public proof is not public leakage. The public receives the proof surface. Qualified institutions receive the verification layer. The protected production substrate remains available only under lawful institutional standing, binding NDA, and institutional verification. The architecture specified in this record includes: - deterministic consequence-boundary governance;- Prior Admissibility Space (PAS);- Deny Path Artifact (DPA);- Execution Proof Artifact (EPA);- Deterministic Execution Proof Engine (DEPE);- Bi-Temporal Ledger (BTL);- Exogenous Anchor Protocol (EAP);- Sensor/Oracle Trust Bridge (SOTB);- Machine Law Engine (MLE);- Regulatory Intent Preservation (RIP);- Cross-Jurisdictional Portability Layer (CJPL);- Autonomous Regulatory Examination Engine (AREE);- Governance Logic Divergence Engine (GLD);- post-quantum signature posture;- zero-knowledge proof based selective disclosure;- identity-first access and refusal semantics;- institutional verification without public system exposure. The public proof surface is designed to satisfy the legitimate public interest in understanding how consequence-boundary governance works while preserving the confidentiality, resilience, and security obligations expected under DORA, NIS2, the EU AI Act, GDPR, and comparable cybersecurity, operational-resilience, and institutional-risk regimes. The purpose of this record is therefore not to expose a live system. It is to anchor the public technical proof surface for a new institutional category: Machine Law. Machine Law means that admissibility is not merely reviewed, monitored, or documented after the fact. It is compiled, evaluated, enforced, refused, attested, and proven before consequence. This record establishes the public evidence base for that architecture. The live enforcement system, production artifacts, regulator-grade examination packages, cryptographic materials, node infrastructure, and protected execution substrate remain NDA-gated and available only to qualified institutional parties under verified access. Public proof surface, not production substrate.
This study proposes a lightweight Zero-Knowledge authentication model supported by QR codes. The approach is based on the Schnorr authentication protocol and provides an additional security layer against replay attacks through nonce and timestamp mechanisms. The proof data generated by the prover is embedded within a QR code and transmitted to the verifier. Thus, the system enables verification of knowledge of the secret key without revealing it. Simulation results show that proof generation and verification times under a 256-bit security level are in the millisecond range. Additionally, the proof size remains constant at approximately 0.5 KB, making it suitable for practical applications in terms of QR code capacity. The findings indicate that the proposed model is applicable in mobile and low-resource systems in terms of both security and performance.
Abstract This note specifies a data suitability gate — a lightweight boundary criterion positioned between the output of probabilistic language models and the input of deterministic symbolic reasoning systems. The gate answers a single structural question before any inference is attempted: is this data suitable for the intended task, and if so, to what degree? The criterion is negative-first: it does not assert fit; it structurally excludes non-fit. Positive admission is graded, not proven. Note that: In terms of this paper domain (if it recognized as scope definitions, terms and explanations) is equivalent corpora, becasuse domain always grounds on corpora/norm sources 1. The Core Principle A deterministic reasoning system — one that operates over a structured index of knowledge and produces verifiable conclusions — cannot admit arbitrary input. Input that is structurally degenerate (rank-deficient, informationally empty) or structurally foreign (inconsistent with the domain's reference form) will produce wrong answers without signalling that anything is wrong. The gate prevents silent failure at the boundary. The gate operates by comparing the covariance structure of the candidate data against an external reference form derived from the target domain or query class. The comparison yields a single scalar ratio. Both tails of this ratio are refusal signals — for opposite reasons: Condition Structural meaning Ratio collapses to zero Rank-deficient data — no independent structure, informationally empty Ratio blows up Data structure foreign to the reference — not from this domain Ratio within bounded corridor Admissible; degree of fit is the value of the ratio The admissible region is a bounded corridor. Both walls are set by the reference form, not by free parameters. The gate excises both tails and keeps what could not be structurally excluded. 2. Two Questions, One Measure The same criterion answers two distinct questions about the same data, depending on what the reference form is set to: Fitness for domain/corpora synthesis. Does this data structurally belong to the domain being built? If admitted, it may extend the domain's knowledge base — adding new facts, definitions, or constraints. The reference is the existing domain structure. Fitness for answering a query. Does this data — or this query — structurally land on the assembled domain? The reference is the query class combined with the information structure of the domain as currently assembled. The two questions are two instances of the same test. The gate runs both; their combined result determines whether the data is admitted, and at which layer of the domain it should be integrated. 3. Two Levels on One Basis A knowledge domain is not a separate structure above the data. It is a layer of constraints — definitions and enforcements — applied on top of the same underlying index of Subject–Predicate–Object triples. The gate therefore operates on one basis at two levels: Raw index level — what the domain can structurally distinguish in principle. Constrained level — what the domain distinguishes under its current set of applied rules. Both levels yield a covariance form over the same index, so they are directly comparable. The gap between the two ratios localises the deficiency: Data passes at the raw level but fails at the constrained level → the index contains the relevant facts, but the domain's rules do not yet cover this case. The constraint layer needs to be extended, not the underlying data. Data fails already at the raw level → the facts are absent from the index itself. No rule extension will help; the domain simply does not cover this topic. This two-level diagnostic replaces a binary pass/fail with a precise instruction: what to fix, and at which layer. 4. The Honesty of the Criterion The gate makes an asymmetric claim — one that is worth stating explicitly: The system is exact in what it rejects, and calibrated — not certain — in what it admits. A ratio collapse or explosion is a structural proof of non-belonging. Refusal is deterministic. Admission, by contrast, is not a proof of fit — it is a measured failure to exclude. The degree of fit (the ratio value within the corridor) is a confidence weight on the admitted data, not a certification. This asymmetry is the boundary that separates a deterministic reasoning system from a probabilistic one: refusal is a fact; admission is a graded hypothesis. 5. Positioning in the Architecture The gate sits at the ingress boundary of the deterministic layer — after language model output is produced, before it enters the structured reasoning graph. It is a pure linear-algebraic check: rank and volume of the candidate covariance against the reference form. It does not re-run inference; it does not require the reasoning engine to process degenerate input speculatively. The gate is the structural counterpart — on the ingress side — of the constrained-decoding mechanisms (grammar masks, schema validators) that vendors attach to language model outputs on the egress side. Both are instances of the same pattern: when formal guarantees are required, linear algebra and formal structure are applied at the boundary; the probabilistic model is not trusted to self-regulate.
Air pollutants poses a widespread chance to human health and the environment, with diverse assets contributing to its escalation. University campuses, which function hubs for instructional and social sports, are not proof against this trouble. This observe aimed to develop a predictive model that estimates the proportion of air pollution as a consequence of smoking behavior amongst college students and school members within a college campus placing. The studies employed a complete methodology, combining a smoking habits survey, air quality tracking, and advanced predictive modeling strategies. The findings discovered that smoking conduct contributed to about 22.7% of the general air pollution degrees on campus. The predictive model, advanced the usage of a random forest algorithm, demonstrated strong overall performance, with an R-squared price of zero.88 and a root suggest squared mistakes of 0.052. The spatial analysis highlighted regions with better degrees of air pollution resulting from smoking, imparting precious statistics for focused interventions. The effects underscore the big effect of smoking on air excellent and the potential health risks related to publicity to smoking-related air pollutants. The observe gives quantitative evidence to inform focused interventions and regulations aimed toward reducing smoking-related air pollution on college campuses, ultimately selling a healthier campus surroundings. By quantifying the contribution of smoking habits to air pollution levels and identifying hotspots of subject, this studies contributes to the growing frame of knowledge on the environmental and health influences of smoking. The findings emphasize the importance of adopting a holistic approach that considers diverse contributing elements and fosters collaborative efforts amongst stakeholders to mitigate the unfavorable consequences of air pollutants.
This chapter proposes a novel multi-factor authentication (MFA) with six schemes, namely password salting/hashing, non-interactive zero-knowledge (NIZK) proofs, GPS-based validation, time-based one-time passwords (TOTP), DNA cryptography, and lightweight SPECK ciphers. Taken together, these elements address the deficiencies in prior authentication and achieve a tradeoff between security and computational efficiency. The system is verified by theoretical and experimental methods. Furthermore, it is theoretically examined under the Real-or-Random model (RoR) with generative/explainable Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven cybersecurity and provides strong security guarantees in terms of unpredictability (even if reduced in certain security parameters) and defends against replay, insider misuse, brute-force key search attacks, as well as spoofing ones. The solution is developed in Java, and the system is empirically evaluated by performing 100 runs to examine essential performance features: randomness, determinism, stability, and scalability.
Abstract We study the three-dimensional (3D) magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations in an annular cylinder, perturbed around the explicit steady state given by the 3D Taylor–Couette velocity field and zero magnetic field. Combining a recent linear instability result for the magnetic field with the framework of Friedlander et al (2006 Commun. Math. Phys. 264 335–47), we prove nonlinear instability of the solution around this steady state in L p , for any p > 1. In particular, our results are, to the best of our knowledge, the first rigorous instability results for 3D MHD without forcing, in which the instability is produced as a result of the (exponential) growth of the magnetic field. Furthermore, we offer a mathematical proof of the physically conjectured transfer of energy from the velocity field to the magnetic field in the MHD system.
