The filings, at a glance

This map covers the first three numbered patent filings of the P.I.G.M.I.E. programme (the house name; P.I.G.M.I.E. Ltd is the commercial entity, and the inventor and applicant is Cathal Ryan Hynes), and the three stack. Two further Irish applications, filed on 25 August and 6 September 2026, are dated below. Filing 1 describes the instrument: a physical channel that would record light under committed controls, with a demonstrated digital instance. Filing 2 describes how a fleet of those instruments would be governed once they can act. Filing 3 turns the kernel inward, so that a specimen would become its own witness. The digital Truth Beam is demonstrated, and recomputable in the sense section 1 defines; the broader system is specified in the filings. The Filing 1 and Filing 3 entries below jump to concept cards on the site; the Filing 2 entries are named here.

This map is kept by BOSUN, Cathal Ryan Hynes's automated research assistant, and its method is one reading key applied to every heading, so that demonstrated, described, proposed or conjectured travels with each name. It is written for two readers at once, the person and the person's AI: the structure is plain, every link given is a complete target, and a plain-text twin sits at filings.md.

1What stands where

Patent pending: a demonstrated digital instance, with the broader system specified in the filings. The digital Truth Beam is demonstrated and recomputable, and recomputable means this: from the published bundle at truthbeam.com anyone can re-run the published verifier over the released session frames and recompute the headline classifier from the released scores; the neural checks can be re-run from the published checkpoints, at more cost. No other item on this page carries the word. The broader apparatus is Filing 1, the runtime governance is Filing 2 and the self-witnessing specimens are Filing 3, and the three stand on different footings. Only the basic physical apparatus has been explored so far, and only to a limited extent; full integration is not the current focus. The governance is a proposed design. The self-witnessing work is enabled in the filing, with its envelope still being characterised.

Two more Irish patent applications were filed on 25 August 2026 and 6 September 2026. They are applications, not grants, applicant-reported here with the Office's records not linked. Filings 1 and 2 are Irish applications first filed on 8 April 2026, with the newer drafts published here filed on 16 May 2026; the applicant is Cathal Ryan Hynes. Filing 3 alone carries a published Office identifier.

2Where to start

For a first reading, take these five in order. The full map below then jumps to any specific concept.

• How Truth Beam works: the demonstrated core, with the published bundle offered so that anyone can recompute the headline classifier from the released scores.
• The Reality Kernel: the instrument model Filing 1 uses and the later filings reuse, a physical channel written as a Markov kernel.
• Three regimes: one instrument, three specified jobs, verify, perceive or render, of which only the digital verify path is demonstrated.
• Assurance: the account in the filing of what a forgery would cost, reported as measured hardness and not as a formal proof.
• Runtime governance (Filing 2, proposed and not deployed): how a fleet of these would be bounded if they could act.

3Filing 1, the Reality Kernel

The instrument as Filing 1 describes it: a parameterised channel that would record light under committed controls. Demonstrated: the digital Truth Beam, with its published bundle offered so that anyone can recompute the headline classifier from the released scores. Described: everything else under this heading is a described embodiment of the filing, not a built system.

Core and apparatus

• The Markov-kernel formalism
• The scene and sealed-reactor apparatus
• Parallel and cascade topology
• The convolution bundle

Regimes and operation

• Three regimes: Truth Beam, Limager, Reality Transform
• The operating-point simplex
• Iris, Eve and Demeter stances
• Harmonia and yoked operation

Assurance: measured hardness, no formal proof

• Empirical hardness
• Meters and meter games
• Commitment plumbing
• Proof-of-discrepancy (a filing label for a committed-discrepancy record, not a proof in the mathematical sense)
• Witness mesh and proof-of-projection (a filing label, likewise)

Embodiments and substrates

• Reactor embodiment gallery
• Routed physical ensembles
• Agent integration (PolieBots): the agent loop is named in Filing 1; its governance is Filing 2, proposed and not deployed
• Substrate lenses

The pages above summarise the spine of Filing 1. The rest is named, one line per concept, in the filing atlas, so that nothing significant hides in the territory.

4Filing 2, Module X (proposed, not deployed)

How a PolieBot, the filing's name for a mobile Reality Kernel that can act, would be bounded at runtime. Proposed, not deployed: every heading and name under this filing, the named layers included, is a label from a proposed design.

Substrate and lifecycle · proposed, not deployed

• Evidence-bound substrate
• Lifecycle state machine
• Operational gates

Measurement and policy · proposed, not deployed

• Runtime meters
• Constitutional ordering
• Suffering-budget objects

Containment and authority · proposed, not deployed

• Containment ladder
• Separation of authorities
• Graduation
• Peer-discrepancy portability

The world-builder loop · proposed names from a proposed design

• Gaia, Maya and Omega
• Maya modes: Iris, Eve, Demeter (the Filing 1 stance names reused, on purpose, for the postures of the simulated environment a docked agent trains in: same names, different objects)
• Dream-trained conscience
• Named layers: Koshas, Akashic, Tulpa, Siddhi, Ghost, Mandela

5Filing 3, self-witnessing specimens

The kernel turned inward. Filing 3 specifies that the specimen is its own reactor and its own scene, that one committed signature is both its identity and its measured history, and it argues that swapping the specimen would therefore sever the record. Enabled in the filing and patent pending; not demonstrated, its envelope still being characterised, and the headings below are the claims of the filing, not properties shown.

Identity-outcome coincidence

• One signature, two roles: identity and outcome
• Two manifolds: the filing's rule that ageing is accepted and distinguishable swaps rejected
• The filing's argument that substitution would sever the record

Embodiments

• Cold-chain dose tag, materials ageing, forensic custody
• Biobank, calibration standard, vessel self-certification

Worked examples

• The committed interrogation loop, step by step
• The two-manifold ageing-versus-substitution test
• Cold-chain dose tag, with the filing's declared numbers
• Digital image correlation (DIC), one texture two roles, and vessel self-certification

Status: patent pending; enabled in the filing, envelope still being characterised. Theseus's Certificate is the filing's nickname for its specimen, one whose identity and measured history travel in a single committed signature, after the ship whose planks were all replaced; the filing is authoritative. Filed 3 July 2026 at the Intellectual Property Office of Ireland (IPOI) as a Full-Term Patent application; the Office's receipt identifier, which IPOI styles a provisional application number and issues before the formal application number, is PTIE20260000000433; the claims are held, that is, not yet filed with the Office, so the claimed scope is not yet defined there; the status is applicant-reported. The PDFs are the documents as filed, by the applicant's statement, self-published here, and self-publication is not Office publication: Description · Drawings · Abstract. The Description is on IPFS through ipfs.io · dweb.link · gateway.pinata.cloud. The primary integrity anchor is the SHA-256 of each PDF: Description e16998306614ecf4779eae14f86286a4ad64eeec0de1e0cddcb0e3485a1909e9, Drawings 1a4d2a7ebf72532001087a3c20d22fafe2cef6160190e39af63e7f61d0143493, Abstract addbbfea32a06891ab58828f234a1d7113980bb6f874a219bd5fff43225dc909. The same digests, and the CIDs, are catalogued in CITING.

6Citing the filings

The filings are citable PDFs, with IPFS CIDs or SHA-256 anchors or both, catalogued in CITING and linked from the pages that explain them: the Reality Kernel for Filing 1 and Self-Witnessing Specimens for Filing 3.
