Filing program: Provisional utility patent application under 35 U.S.C. § 111(b) — 40 numbered claims + 10 TOS extension families (F1–F10), filed 2026-05-08, attorney review.

1. CLAIM 1

   Post-Quantum Encrypted by Construction

   Every byte on the substrate flows through a 512-byte uniform encrypted cell — ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD, ML-KEM-768 key exchange, Ed25519 signatures, blind routing tokens. Built for the day quantum computers break the rest of the internet.

   Claim 1 — every cell is exactly 512 bytes (64-byte plaintext header with 32-byte routing token, 12-byte nonce, 420-byte encrypted payload, 16-byte Poly1305 tag). Cells are size-uniform regardless of message size, eliminating size-based traffic analysis.

2. CLAIM 1

   HYVE Uniform Transport (HYVE-UT)

   Every message on the inter-organ bus is a fixed 512-byte cell — header, nonce, encrypted payload, Poly1305 tag. Same size regardless of payload, eliminating size-based traffic analysis attacks.

3. CLAIM 2

   HYVE Cell-Sharded Transport (HYVE-CST)

   Messages exceeding 387 bytes are split via Shamir K-of-N secret sharing applied per byte position over GF(256). Any K cells reconstruct the original; any K-1 cells reveal nothing.

4. CLAIM 3

   HYVE Blind Routing Tokens (HYVE-BRT)

   Routing tokens are HKDF-SHA256 over the chain key, swarm identifier, and cell sequence index. Cells of the same conversation are unlinkable to relays without the chain key.

5. CLAIM 4

   HYVE Ratchet (Forward Secrecy at Message Granularity)

   Per-conversation epochs with chain-key rotation via HKDF-SHA256 and zeroized prior keys. Compromising current state never compromises past traffic.

6. CLAIM 5

   Sovereign OS Architecture

   Two-tier key hierarchy (PIN + biometric → KEK → DEK), multi-organ topology over the cell substrate, GF(256) Shamir K-of-N recovery, .hyvedata signed-shard archive, deterministic decide() runtime — all in one architecture.

   Claim 5 — composite architecture combining the cell of claim 1, two-tier key hierarchy (Argon2id-derived K_PIN + K_BIO → KEK via HKDF-SHA256 → wrapped DEK), Shamir K-of-N for master-seed recovery, .hyvedata, deterministic agent runtime, and topologically-sorted multi-organ topology.

7. CLAIM 6

   HYVE LLM Creator

   Connect every LLM you already pay for AND train your own from scratch — Anthropic, OpenAI, Azure, 30+ frontier hosts, local engines, quantum compute providers, and biological-substrate backends — through one OS. Fine-tune existing models on your private data, or train new models end-to-end on your hardware. You bring the keys, HYVE never sees your password.

   Multi-model arena (claim 6f) — operator-driven head-to-head across at least 35 providers including anthropic, openai, google, xai, meta, mistral, deepseek, qwen, groq, ollama, vllm, llamacpp, quantinuum, ibmquantum, ionq, rigetti, dwave, atomcomputing, corticallabs, finalspark, brainos, and OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Local training pipeline supports LoRA, QLoRA, full fine-tunes, and from-scratch pretraining on operator-supplied datasets, with all training data and model weights staying inside the operator's vault — never uploaded.

8. CLAIM 6

   Observatory — Live Interpretability Surface

   Three-dimensional graph of organ nodes on a Fibonacci-sphere distribution, lightning polylines for cell deliveries, color-coded by topic class across at least 8 categories. Every decision, memory write, and bus event is replayable.

9. CLAIM 7

   Tarpit + Tor + Sentinel Defensive Triad

   A tarpit organ that drips fake banners to attackers for hours, a Tor controller organ with pluggable transports (obfs4, meek_lite, snowflake), and a sentinel kill organ for cross-platform process termination — all audit-logged.

10. CLAIM 8

    Dual-Posture Build Pipeline

    One source codebase produces two bootable images: a development-unlock variant with disk encryption disabled and dev tools, and a production variant with LUKS2 + UEFI SecureBoot — bit-exact runtime behavior, divergence is install policy only.

11. CLAIM 11

    Patent-Pending Data Protocol (.hyvedata)

    Per-chunk Brotli + AES-256-GCM, Reed-Solomon GF(256) parity shards, Particle-Swarm-Optimized layout, SQLite-indexed metadata, Ed25519-signed root hash. Survives partial corruption. One vault unlock decrypts every archive.

    Claim 11 — full archive generation pipeline: SHA-256 → Brotli → AES-256-GCM per chunk → Reed-Solomon parity → PSO layout → SQLite-indexed metadata → Ed25519-signed deterministic root hash.

12. CLAIM 11

    .hyvedata Generation Pipeline

    SHA-256 hash, Brotli compression, AES-256-GCM per-chunk encryption, Reed-Solomon GF(256) parity, Particle-Swarm-Optimized layout, SQLite metadata, Ed25519-signed root hash. The full archive flow.

13. CLAIM 12

    Per-Organ Identity Isolation

    Each organ presents an authentication record at startup: organ name, epoch counter, ML-KEM-768 key encapsulation token, Ed25519 signature. Organs without verified signatures are rejected by the bus.

14. CLAIM 13

    Tide Cognition (Typing-Rhythm Classification)

    Inter-keystroke timing classified into {tense, fluid, scattered, calm, unknown} via median + coefficient-of-variation over a rolling window — no content captured, only rhythm.

15. CLAIM 14

    Multi-Factor Auth + Panic-Wipe PIN

    PIN, password, gesture, face biometric, fingerprint biometric — at least one combination required to unlock. A second 'panic' PIN at the unlock prompt marks the data partition for irreversible secure wipe on next reboot.

16. CLAIM 15

    Cover-Cell Traffic Analysis Defense

    Network-indistinguishable decoy cells generated with cryptographically random payload bytes and AEAD encryption identical to real cells. Operators maintain constant traffic-rate against passive observers.

17. CLAIM 16

    HYVE Civic Suite

    First-class government-services surface — fifteen integrated surfaces covering tax, veteran benefits, civic identity, public records, civil-servant tools, compliance, community, emergency, health, legal, civic discovery, translation, small business, and student services.

18. CLAIM 17

    Civic Credential Verification Gate

    Constant-evaluation credential check before any civic sub-surface accepts operator documents — no document reaches encrypted storage until the unlock gate validates.

19. CLAIM 18

    Federal Compliance Phased Installer

    Operator-paced phased federal-compliance installer at /opt/hyve/fed-compliance/. Phases: banner, audit, sysctl, MAC, strict, all — each adds a coherent set of system-hardening primitives.

20. CLAIM 19

    Civic Chat Redaction Filter

    Operator-visible chat output of any civic sub-surface is filtered through a redaction function before display — protects against accidental leakage of sensitive civic data.

21. CLAIM 20

    Themed Icon Architecture (Visual Themes)

    Build-time HSV-transform pipeline produces 14+ themed icon directories from one canonical icon set. Runtime icon resolver re-points on theme switch — no rebuild.

22. CLAIM 21

    Autonomous Driver Discovery & Install

    Persistent service subscribes to udev events, matches modalias against a known firmware-package map, installs non-interactively. For unmatched devices, synthesizes a class-default udev rule.

23. CLAIM 22

    Heterogeneous-Hardware Generative Execution

    Operator-supplied generative requests adapt to detected hardware — caps applied at the API-shim layer for CPU-only execution; full parameters preserved for GPU-accelerated paths.

24. CLAIM 23

    Sovereignty-Scored API Interposition (Connect)

    Curated catalog of API service descriptors — each with OpenAPI/GraphQL/RPC schema and a sovereignty score. Operator credentials unwrap from encrypted vault only at the connect organ; requests routed through cell substrate.

    Claim 23 — 1,450+ public APIs across 50+ categories, each scored by data-exfiltration scope, jurisdiction, and free-tier availability. Operator credentials never touch the frontend.

25. CLAIM 24

    Shell-Script Generation Injection Defense

    Operator parameters validated against per-parameter constraint sets (URL scheme allowlists, control-character rejection, length caps). Validated values written to mode-0600 sidecar env files; scripts read via shell builtins, never heredoc-interpolated.

26. CLAIM 25

    Timing-Leak-Free Credential Verification

    Multi-factor unlock with length-capped inputs, parallel Argon2id derivations without short-circuit, bitwise-AND combination, and uniform error message on failure — defends against side-channel timing attacks.

27. CLAIM 31

    Staged Operator-Paced OS Hardening

    Hardening installer with phase argument (banner / audit / sysctl / mac / strict / all) — each phase is auditable and reversible via revert phase that restores the prior baseline snapshot.

28. CLAIM 32

    Cross-Device Pairing Without Centralized Server

    Pairing token + ephemeral Ed25519 keypair encoded in a QR code; second device scans, opens TCP handshake, exchanges cell-substrate messages to establish a HYVE-Ratchet keyed by the operator's long-lived identity. No centralized pairing service.

29. CLAIM 33

    Operator-Controlled Signaling-Relay (Sovereignty Default Empty)

    HYVE_RELAY_URL defaults empty. Features that need a relay surface an operator-actionable opt-in notification; setter enforces HTTPS-only + URL-parser validation; persisted to mode-0600 env file. Re-read at every send call site — zero-restart updates.

30. CLAIM 34

    Multi-Tier Icon Resolution Cascade

    Per-image resolution cascade: themed-per-surface → themed-generic → canonical-per-surface → canonical-generic. Tracked via data attribute, advanced on each image-load error, re-issued from tier 0 on theme change.

31. CLAIM 35

    Build-Time Visual Theme Generation

    Each named theme declares an HSV-transform triple (hue rotate, saturation, brightness) and accent palette. Build pipeline applies the transform per pixel to one canonical icon set, producing a themed PNG variant per surface per theme.

32. CLAIM F1

    Capability-Bounded LLM Execution

    Tactical-tier LLM execution where the model's available actions are bounded by a capability manifest at invocation time. The model literally cannot reach beyond its declared scope — hard isolation, not prompt suggestion.

33. CLAIM F2

    Time-Locked Decryption (Verifiable Delay Function)

    Evidence sealed under a verifiable-delay-function gate that mathematically resists early decryption — useful for legal evidence chain-of-custody where reveal time must be controllable and provable.

34. CLAIM F3

    Mesh-Distributed Persona With Duress Auto-Shred

    Operator persona threshold-sharded across a mesh of devices. A duress signal silently triggers persona auto-shred — coercion against any single device cannot reconstruct the persona.

35. CLAIM F4

    Typing-Rhythm Duress Detection

    Anomaly detection over the operator's typing-rhythm baseline — sudden departure from established patterns triggers a silent duress signal across the persona mesh.

36. CLAIM F5

    Real-Time Legal-Authority Drift Detection

    Continuous monitoring of legal-authority changes (regulation updates, jurisdiction shifts, court rulings) — alerts the operator when prior-permitted operations drift out of compliance.

37. CLAIM F6

    Self-Mutating Defenses With Bounded Mutation

    Defensive postures evolve under bounded mutation — the system varies its own surface to resist signature-based attacks without exceeding operator-set safety boundaries.

38. CLAIM F7

    Deterministic Classification Inheritance for ML Training

    Training data inherits classification labels deterministically — derived models cannot accidentally produce outputs at lower classification than their inputs.

39. CLAIM F8

    Decoupled Binary/Policy Accreditation Signing

    Threshold signing for accreditation that decouples the signed binary from the signed policy — binaries can be re-accredited without re-signing policy, and vice versa.

40. CLAIM F9

    AEAD-Nonce-Bound Caveat Enforcement

    Wire-layer caveat enforcement bound into AEAD nonce material — caveats cannot be stripped without invalidating the cell's authentication tag.

41. CLAIM F10

    Classification-Aware Multi-Audience Briefing Synthesis

    Single source briefing rendered for multiple audiences (operator, command, allied, public) with per-audience classification awareness — automatic redaction at each tier.

42. Augur Self-Policing CI Gate

    Augur audits its own source on every commit — the security tool that catches itself before catching anything else.

43. HYVE Anima

    Agentic video generation engine inside Cinema studio.

44. HYVE Aura

    WiFi-CSI ambient presence sensing engine inside Sense studio — your home perceives you without cameras.

45. Leaper Differential Sandbox

    Four-tier provenance-keyed execution sandbox (KnownSigned / AiGenerated / UserUploaded / Unknown). Every binary's sandbox tier is automatically chosen from where it came from.

46. Quantum Cognition Routing

    Five algorithmic patterns route across ten quantum compute providers — the first agent OS that treats quantum hardware as a first-class compute target alongside classical and biological substrates.

47. Sentinel Hardware Kill-Switches

    Camera and microphone cut at the kernel module level, below userspace, below the browser. No software can override the hardware kill.

48. Trust Federation

    Cross-tenant agent reputation lookup — your Omega can ask the network whether an agent has earned trust elsewhere before delegating to it locally.
