Phocoustic Patent Portfolio — Interlocking Architecture

A Unified, Physics-Anchored Intellectual Property Platform

Phocoustic’s 20-patent family forms a stacked, mutually dependent architecture in which each layer reinforces the one below it.
Together, they create a defensible end-to-end pipeline from sensor input → physics drift extraction → semantic development → cognitive stability → cross-object lineage.


1. SENSOR & PHYSICS LAYER (Foundational IP)

Goal: Extract real, physically admissible drift from light/structured-light/acoustic signals.

Core patents:

Function:
This layer prevents hallucination, noise, glare artifacts, or statistical drift.
It forms the base of every downstream semantic or cognitive capability.


2. DRIFT STRUCTURING & REFERENCE LAYER

Goal: Convert raw drift into structured, traceable, stable representations.

Core patents:

Function:
These patents define how the system forms stable, non-corruptible internal references —
a foundational requirement for inspection, navigation, and semantic reasoning.


3. GEOMETRY, SEMANTIC & STRUCTURED-LIGHT LAYER

Goal: Translate drift and geometry into meaningful physical interpretations.

Core patents:

Function:
This layer enables PCB/wafer defect detection, fine geometric analysis, fog/glare navigation,
and drift-based semantic overlays — all without AI training or neural networks.


4. SEMANTIC DEVELOPMENT LAYER (CIP-12)

Goal: Enable physics-anchored formation, maturation, and pruning of semantic structures.

Core patents:

Function:
These filings establish deterministic rules governing how meaning forms from drift —
a significant differentiator from trained statistical systems.


5. SEMANTIC EPIGENETICS LAYER (CIP-13)

Goal: Allow environment-conditioned shaping of semantic development without training.

Core patents:

Function:
This layer introduces domain specialization (PCB vs wafer vs fog vs robotics),
semantic reinforcement or suppression, and explainable developmental pathways.
It is unique, foundational ACI technology.


6. OBJECT CONTEXT & LINEAGE LAYER

Goal: Bind drift, meaning, and epigenetics to individual physical objects.

Core patents:

Function:
Essential for PCB lines, conveyors, wafer lots, robotics, and manufacturing auditability.
A major competitive barrier — competitors cannot emulate this without infringement.


7. SYSTEM-LEVEL ACI LAYER (CIP-10 & ACI Track)

Goal: Govern the entire pipeline using physics-only logic to prevent hallucination.

Core patents:

Function:
These filings establish a safe, physics-grounded cognitive layer
that never escapes drift evidence and never enters statistical hallucination.

Press Release — International Patent Application for VASDE

Phocoustic, Inc. Files PCT Application for VisualAcoustic Semantic Drift Engine (VASDE)

November 2025 — Champaign, Illinois — Phocoustic, Inc. has filed an international Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) application covering its VisualAcoustic Semantic Drift Engine (VASDE). The filing extends the company’s earlier U.S. patent family and seeks worldwide priority for its physics-informed approach to anomaly detection and semantic drift classification.

At a high level, the PCT consolidates innovations in:

The PCT also references additional modules (e.g., QLSR, PSSS, CAF) as part of an integrated physics-anchored framework. Detailed algorithms and claim boundaries are contained in the PCT specification and related U.S. continuation-in-part filings, not on this website.

CIP-13: Object-Resolved Drift Lineage & Semantic Epigenetics

CIP-13 (described more fully on our home page) builds on earlier filings to introduce:

CIP-13 is designed to strengthen auditability, traceability, and environmental conditioning in physics-anchored cognitive systems. Implementation specifics appear in the CIP-13 patent documents.

Press Release — CIP-11

Classical Physics–Anchored Drift Benchmarking and Stability Architecture

Phocoustic, Inc. has filed CIP-11, titled “System and Method for Classical Physics-Anchored Drift Benchmarking, Quantum-Conditioned Measurement Clarification, and Assistive Human-Geometry Detection.”

CIP-11 extends the VisualAcoustic platform with a framework for comparing physics-anchored drift against conventional machine-learning outputs, and for structuring stability references across both static and dynamic environments. The filing:

Technical details, gating mechanisms, and data-structure implementations are defined in the CIP-11 specification and associated claims.

CIP-11 also harmonizes earlier drift demonstrations, visibility-degraded examples, and PCB / wafer benchmarks with the broader VASDE portfolio, helping preserve priority for previously demonstrated behaviors.

A Classical-Only, Low-Compute Alternative

CIP-11 reinforces Phocoustic’s focus on classical, training-minimized, and explainability-oriented architectures. In general terms, the system is designed to:

These descriptions are conceptual only; specific method claims are found in the CIP-11 application.

CIP-10: Predictive Drift Reasoning & Multi-Camera Cognitive Fusion

CIP-10 advances the VisualAcoustic platform beyond pure anomaly detection into predictive and goal-aligned reasoning built on physics-anchored drift evidence.

Building on the dual-domain architecture introduced in earlier filings, CIP-10 describes a system that can:

CIP-10 introduces families of concepts such as predictive drift fields and semantic risk manifolds, but the exact mathematics, thresholds, and data structures are specified only in the patent application itself.

Application examples include semiconductor manufacturing, PCB and microelectronics inspection, industrial robotics, visibility-degraded navigation, and structural monitoring.

CIP-10 ACI: Physics-Bound Cognitive Intelligence

CIP-10 ACI describes a Physics-Anchored Conscious / Cognitive Intelligence (PA-CI) layer built entirely in the classical domain. It formalizes how drift-based evidence can be promoted into stable cognitive states under multiple, overlapping governance loops.

At a high level, the filing:

In general, CIP-10 ACI is aimed at creating physics-constrained, self-verifying cognitive behavior rather than free-form, purely statistical “AGI.” All detailed mechanisms are captured in the CIP-10 ACI claims and specification.

CIP-9: Multi-Camera Drift Consensus & Semantic Governance

CIP-9 focuses on multi-camera, physics-governed semantic consensus. It introduces mechanisms by which multiple VISURA viewpo
