Observer Series v1.1: Hidden World from a Single Point — Topology Recovery, Operational Worlds, and the Interiorization of Invisible Structure

We present a systematic experimental study of what an observer with a restricted read channel can learn about a deterministic source whose full state is inaccessible to him. The source is a 12-node icosahedral cluster evolving under a discrete second-order update rule; the observer reads a subset of nodes through a fix...

Nonlinear boundary value inverse cauchy problem formulation for image shadow

Shadow removal is a fundamental challenge in imaging science due to the difficulty of decoupling illumination variations from surface reflectance at shadow boundaries. This paper introduces a novel mathematical framework that reformulates osmosis-based shadow removal as a Cauchy-type inverse problem. A new variational...

Modern Network Security Architectures: A Critical Review of Networking and Cyber Defence Strategies

Network security architecture is being reshaped by cloud computing, remote and hybrid access, software-defined infrastructure, microservices, encryption, Internet of Things deployments and increasingly adaptive adversaries. These changes have weakened assumptions that a trusted internal network can be protected princip...

PoT Calibration Descriptor

Calibration descriptor and extraction scripts for the Proof of Trust (PoT) proof-of-concept. Provides per-profile, per-dimension distribution parameters derived from the descriptive statistics of real IoT/IIoT security datasets (MQTTset, N-BaIoT, Edge-IIoTset; TON_IoT as contextual reference). Version 1.8 adds manufact...

guv-calcs v0.7.3: An open-source Python library for modeling germicidal UV in indoor environments

guv-calcs is an open-source Python scientific computing library for physically based modeling of germicidal ultraviolet (GUV) light in indoor environments, with a focus on far-UVC (200–235 nm) applications. The library provides core numerical tools for representing lamps, spatial geometry, calculation planes and volume...

Privacy-Preserving Fraud Intelligence for Kenya's Account-to-Account Payment Ecosystem

This whitepaper proposes a privacy-preserving federated graph intelligence architecture for fraud detection across Kenya’s account-to-account payment ecosystem, using PesaLink as the principal infrastructure context. The research addresses a structural limitation of institution-level fraud detection: fraudulent activit...

An Intelligent a IoT Framework for Automated Checkout and Real-Time Inventory Management in Smart Retail

The Smart Cart is an AI-and IoT-based intelligent shopping system designed to transform the conventional retail shopping experience by enabling automated billing, real-time inventory monitoring, and personalized customer assistance.Traditional shopping carts and manual checkout processes often result in long queues, in...

Photonic accelerators for AI across cloud and edge platforms

RTMDet-AS: an improved real-time instance segmentation model for tomato harvesting based on attention mechanism and SIoU loss

RTMDet-AS is presented, a robust instance segmentation network tailored to address the challenges of cluttered backgrounds, dense fruit clusters, and the strict efficiencyaccuracy trade-off required for edge computing in unstructured greenhouses with a 96.7 FPS inference rate and fewer computational efforts.

Edge AI Doctrine: Ten Critical Considerations for Edge AI, With Architectural Ramifications, Consequences, and Governance

The failure modes of artificial intelligence systems deployed at the edge are not, at their root, failures of model quality, training data adequacy, or algorithmic design. They are failures of architectural composition: the failure to design for the constraints that edge environments impose as boundary conditions rathe...

(Short Paper19) The Eyeball Organ as a Privileged I/O Port in the In Vivo QPU Paradigm: Visual System Edge Computing and Fail-Safe Mechanisms Associated with Sleep Deprivation

In conventional neuroscience, the visual organ—the eyeball—has been treated as a “passive sensor that converts external photon information into electrical signals at the retina and transmits them to the cerebral visual cortex.” However, within the framework of the in vivo quantum processing unit (Bio-QPU) theory, the c...
