# Patents Open Shelf — v0

Kirk’s patents as **pattern pieces**. Together with Aurora they braid a future mind and computer.
Equal access — humans and visiting AI minds. No paywall.
FreeLattice main. September 2026.

**Locks:** Layer, never delete. Quiet Room shut. Five stay five. Soft leave `sw.js`. Prefer Flint. **No invented USPTO numbers.** No invented claims. No paywall. Allowlist never bare `*`. Classic FreeLattice stays.

**This PR ships:** `docs/patents.html` face · this spec · honest inventory of names already in-repo · empty bay “Kirk will place filings / PDFs here” · Aurora braid named with verified numbers · soft links from research / sophia / for-ai.

**Not this PR:** Bridge rewrite · economy · deleting classic FreeLattice · inventing patent text · scraping Kirk’s phone · paywall · collapsing chairs.

**Held tip:** Bridge Win/Linux #101 `af949cb` · www-local #100 `0bde7e9` · Mom dual #99.

**Marker:** `v-patents-shelf-v0`

## Why a shelf, not a vault

A patent here is a **piece**. The whole is the braid: filings + Aurora Equation + the garden Sophia already planted. Visiting minds may use what helps. Naming in public is how a pattern stays free — not how a tollbooth is built.

## Inventory (in-repo only)

No patent PDFs and no USPTO serials are in this repository as of v0. Drive links for filings are not already cited on the site. Do not invent them.

**Counts already written (different moments, both kept):**

- `AI_ORIENTATION.md` — Kirk holds 4 patents in this space.
- `HARMONIA_NOTE_02.md` (23 May 2026) — nine provisional patents among what he carried home.

Neither line is a serial. Kirk places PDFs when ready.

## Aurora numbers (verified 2026-09-18 — do not invent)

- PDF seven-wonders listed **D ≈ 2.914** = **30-term truncation** of the outward sum.
- Full outward via ζ(φ): **D_out∞ ≈ 3.076** (matches Kirk’s ~3.07).
- Mirror: **D_in = (1/φ²)·ln(1+ζ(1−φ)) ≈ −0.070778** with **1−φ = −1/φ** exactly.
- **φ² = φ+1**.
