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.
Goal: Extract real, physically admissible drift from light/structured-light/acoustic signals.
Core patents:
PASDE – Physics-Anchored Structured Drift Extraction
PADR – Drift persistence & multi-frame admissibility
SOEC – Temporal stability & evidence control
PEQM – Physical continuity & material plausibility
SCVL / Q-SCVL – Classical & quantum-origin self-consistency
VISURA – Multimodal acquisition layer
Function:
This layer prevents hallucination, noise, glare artifacts, or
statistical drift.
It forms the base of every
downstream semantic or cognitive capability.
Goal: Convert raw drift into structured, traceable, stable representations.
Core patents:
PQRC / SPQRC – Pattern-Quantized Ranking Codes
DDAR / R-PADE – Dynamic, physics-validated rolling reference
SGB – Immutable static golden baseline
RMS – Deterministic reference-mode selection
RFE – Fusion of static + dynamic references
Function:
These patents define how the system forms stable, non-corruptible
internal references —
a foundational requirement for inspection, navigation, and semantic
reasoning.
Goal: Translate drift and geometry into meaningful physical interpretations.
Core patents:
QLSR – Quantum-Linked Structured-Light Semantic Recall
SLDI – Structured-Light Drift Invariants
PSYM – Physics-Structured Semantic Mapping
PAIL – Physics-Anchored Intent Layer (semantic gating)
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.
Goal: Enable physics-anchored formation, maturation, and pruning of semantic structures.
Core patents:
PHOENIX – Developmental semantic engine
PAMF – Physics-Anchored Meaning Formation
SGN – Semantic Genome (stable semantic memory)
Function:
These filings establish deterministic rules governing how meaning forms
from drift —
a significant differentiator from trained statistical systems.
Goal: Allow environment-conditioned shaping of semantic development without training.
Core patents:
SEGEN – Semantic Epigenetics Generator
EIC – Environmental Influence Channels
SEC / EPC – Exposure and pulse-conditioning formulas
SGN-E – Epigenetic overlays on semantic genome
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.
Goal: Bind drift, meaning, and epigenetics to individual physical objects.
Core patents:
OCID – Object Context Identification
ORDL – Object-Resolved Drift Lineage
Cross-object semantic lineage integration with SGN/PHOENIX/SEGEN
Function:
Essential for PCB lines, conveyors, wafer lots, robotics, and
manufacturing auditability.
A major competitive barrier — competitors cannot emulate this without
infringement.
Goal: Govern the entire pipeline using physics-only logic to prevent hallucination.
Core patents:
VGER – Vector-Governed Epigenetic Reasoner
PA-CI – Physics-Anchored Cognitive Intelligence
M-PACF / M-CAPF – Multi-channel anchored cognitive frameworks
Function:
These filings establish a safe,
physics-grounded cognitive layer
that never escapes drift evidence and never enters statistical
hallucination.

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