PATENT NOTICE

The core cognitive architecture of Aura is protected by a pending United States
patent application:

  Title:    Autonomous Dynamic Cognitive Memory Management System for Large
            (LLM) and Small (SLM) Language Models
  Application No.: US 63/969,703
  Filed:    January 28, 2026
  Inventor: Oleksandr Tepliuk
  Status:   Patent Pending

The patent covers the following architectural concepts:
  - DNA Memory Layering (hierarchical memory partitioning)
  - Cognitive Crystallization (autonomous memory promotion)
  - Flash-Crystallization (interrupt-driven priority storage)
  - Synaptic Synthesis (SDR-based semantic deduplication)
  - Deterministic Low-Latency SDR Indexing (O(k) search complexity)
  - Adaptive Kinetic Decay (entropy-weighted memory pruning)
