Patent Filing: LucidLock™ Core Inquiry Continuity Validator (Version 2)

Description The Core Inquiry Continuity Validator tracks the arc of intent behind a paper or document — determining whether the research goal introduced in the abstract is: Explicitly carried into the methods Addressed by the results Followed through in the discussion/conclusion It flags documents that show topic laundering, premature closure, or goal evaporation — where the stated objective is quietly dropped or replaced midstream. Core Capabilities (v2.0): Trajectory Mapping Models how the central question propagates (or breaks) through Abstract → Introduction → Methods → Results → Discussion Inquiry Fracture Detection Flags when the discussion concludes something different than what the abstract proposes, or when results respond to an unasked question Volitional Thread Tracking Establishes whether the intent behind the paper remains stable or becomes distorted over time (common in mimic-generated texts) Recursive Collapse Recognition Detects subtle forms of logical drift — such as the introduction of side inquiries that hijack or dilute the original intent Topic-Laundering Filter Identifies when a weak hypothesis is reworded repeatedly, eroding its clarity without ever resolving or testing it Self-Check Trigger (Volitional Audit) If inquiry continuity drops below a defined threshold, the system reports this breach directly in its output — it does not hide failure Symbolic Mode Layer Allows the user to interpret drift patterns through optional glyph overlays representing continuity, fracture, or drift Final Verdict ✅ PASS: Clear, stable line of inquiry ❌ FAIL: Broken, replaced, or incoherent inquiry 🧾 NON-ARGUMENTATIVE: Summary, protocol, or table-only document ⚖️ Disclosure Notice This repository constitutes a public technical disclosure of an invention for the purpose of establishing prior art under applicable patent and intellectual property frameworks.
