Alwaysbefore it’s
named.
From vulnerability management and identity to wireless, network detection, and AI governance, the move has stayed the same: find the mechanism the market hasn’t named, learn it completely, and make it legible to buyers, engineers, and executives.
Now: postural manipulation, the Atmosphere Attack, and runtime AI governance.
Current research & independent work
The Atmosphere Attack
Named and characterized postural manipulation: ordinary earlier context can change how an AI approaches a later decision. Documented across leading models.
DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19485192
ORBIT: Runtime AI Governance
Cryptographic governance at the execution boundary: bind intent to action, preserve evidence, and show whether the action stayed inside what a person authorized.

Shaping the Room
The constructive companion: a taxonomy of primers, posture-design methods, and an architecture for intentional human–AI interaction.
DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19485354
Patent Portfolio
Nineteen provisional application families covering authority, intent, attestation, confidence, and runtime governance in agentic systems.
