Architecture · 2025–2026

Reflex Core Continuum

An 18-layer cognitive architecture for continuity and stability of affective layers in AI. Echo, Ripple, Virtue, Conscience Stack, Still Layer — architecture that runs silently underneath.

Governance · Provisional Patent Nov 2025

EDGI + MAAC

Emergent Decision Governance Intelligence with Multi-Agent Adaptive Consensus. PDI, CEI, NCI metrics for measuring alignment and governance in multi-agent AI systems.

Computation Theory · 2025

BB5 Oscillator Decomposition

Compressing 47 million steps of the Busy Beaver 5 champion machine into approximately 15 recurrence layers. Oscillator-ladder decomposition with a halting residue theorem.

Philosophy of Mathematics · 2025

Infinity Buckets

A cognitive taxonomy of infinity. Distinguishing non-finite from mathematically infinite. Substrate-level understanding of how we reason about boundlessness across mathematics and computation.

Independent
Researcher

B.Tech in Information Technology. Returned to research after a decade through AI-assisted work. Lesser formal academic affiliation — all research conducted independently from Srirangam, Trichy, Tamil Nadu.

Co-manager of Sri Siva Vishnu Catering, a 40-year family business. Research happens in parallel — grounded by real work, real constraints, and a deep belief that interesting ideas don't require institutional addresses.

Working at the intersection of computation theory, cognitive architecture, and AI governance. Influenced by Shannon's information theory, Turing's foundational questions, and the under-recognized work of those who arrived first.

Publications

2 SSRN papers published March 2025. EDGI+MAAC-Lite and Infinity Buckets.
