Abstract

Executive Overview This consolidated release of Paper X unifies empirical findings, mathematical foundations, and real-world implementation proofs for AuraOS—a local-first, zero-extraction computational architecture designed to eliminate recurring cloud SaaS overhead and API token extraction. By decoupling spatial reconstruction, neural synthesis, and automated video orchestration from centralized cloud infrastructure, this work demonstrates that modern consumer hardware (standard laptops and smartphones) can execute high-throughput generative and spatial tasks deterministically at zero marginal cost. Flagship Public Commons Release: The Aura Creator Studio As part of the Aura Commons commitment to public, unrestricted tooling, this release delivers the Aura Creator Studio—a sovereign, automated video production and spatial intelligence suite engineered specifically for independent video editors, YouTube creators, and TikTok content producers: Monocular 3D Spatial Triangulation & SLAM: Extracts 3D metric floorplans, doorway apertures, and 4D entity trajectories from unstructured 2D gameplay/video captures using dynamic HUD exclusion masking, pointmap regression, and Kalman-RTS smoothing. Dual-Sensor Gaussian Splatting (3DGS): Combines stationary laptop camera anchors with mobile orbital scans to bake persistent surface features (e.g., decals, wall artwork) into 3D Gaussians with zero temporal drift. Procedural Media & Multi-Track Synthesis: Features local neural text-to-speech (Edge-TTS / Piper), animated karaoke typography with Bézier bounding pills, and zero-dependency procedural DSP audio synthesis ($140\text{ Hz} \to 42\text{ Hz}$ sub-bass transients) without stock licensing fees. AirLLM & Council V3 Layer Streaming: Executes 8B to 70B parameter open models locally on standard laptop NVMe drives, providing fact-grounded scriptwriting and low-poly 3D graybox pre-visualization with zero cloud API token billing. Sovereign Gate 10 Governance & Attribution DAG: Guarantees non-delegable human approval before publishing while sealing public commons attribution and microtransaction splits into immutable SHA-256 ledgers. The Macro-Economic Amortization Thesis The primary bottleneck for digital creators is platform extraction—a compounding cycle of recurring monthly subscriptions for voice cloning, video splicing, background removal, 3D rendering, and LLM tokens that drains $50 to $300+ per month per creator. When amortized across a community of 100,000 creators, the AuraOS architecture redirects $60,000,000 to $360,000,000 annually from centralized cloud monopolies back into creator equity. By maximizing the idle compute capacity of hardware creators already own, the marginal cost of end-to-end creative production collapses to zero. Open Scientific Invitation: Challenge, Replicate, and Falsify Science advances through rigorous scrutiny, empirical falsification, and open replication. We openly invite computer vision researchers, systems architects, machine learning engineers, and skeptics to: Audit the Mathematical Formulations: Stress-test the Kalman-RTS trajectory smoothing, coordinate back-projection matrices, and Bézier vector geometry. Replicate the Local Benchmarks: Run the provided scripts and verify that complete video assemblies and spatial reconstructions execute fully offline on consumer-grade hardware. Challenge and Extend the Commons: Benchmark the throughput, test edge cases in unconstrained monocular footage, and submit critical evaluations. All code, pipeline orchestrators, and cryptographic verification receipts are open-source and free for public examination and commercial liberation under the Aura Open Commons (CC-BY-SA-4.0). Version 2.0 Changelog Entry (for Zenodo "Additional Notes") Markdown ### Version 2.0 Update Notes - Consolidated multi-modal spatial tracking proofs and 3D Gaussian Splatting manifests. - Added full architectural specification for the Aura Creator Studio (Public Commons Release 1). - Integrated Council V3 graybox pre-visualization and zero-SaaS AirLLM pipeline benchmarks. - Established open peer challenge and replication guidelines for repository artifacts. Aura is an open cognitive commons: a model-orthogonal operating substrate designed to let anyone build powerful AI systems without locking intelligence, memory, coordination, or computation inside a single model, vendor, device, or company. Paper X publishes the Aura World Seed and the current AuraOS architecture as a defensive technical disclosure and reproducible reference system. Its central inversion is simple: Do not feed the AI the world. Compile the smallest source-resolvable world sufficient for the objective. Aura externalizes persistent cognition into a Coordinate Memory System: source-bound semantic identities, generations, currentness, authority, provenance, relations, residual obligations, and exact reopen paths remain durable, while prompts, models, KV caches, workers, runtimes, devices, and interfaces remain replaceable. A model can therefore wake only the portion of the world capable of changing the current consequence rather than repeatedly reconstructing its entire context. The architecture includes objective-native Ephemeral Arenas: temporary apps, tools, agent teams, simulations, interfaces, and execution environments that assemble around an intent, receive only the capabilities and context they need, produce verifiable receipts, collapse their useful state back into the commons, and dissolve. Aura is designed so applications can be temporary while knowledge, provenance, and continuity persist. Paper X also publishes the mechanisms behind Aura's efficiency claims so others can test, reproduce, challenge, and falsify them: polysynthetic/FST intent compression, minimum-sufficient L0→L4 hydration, semantic coordinates, affected-cone recomputation, HyperDrive normal-form collapse, HyperScale routing, consequence-aware caching, swarm coordination, and Runtime Arenas. The paper reports provider telemetry across 9,381 requests in which 97.4029% of input tokens were served as cache hits, with $17.77 actual provider cost versus $209.58 in a price-only cache-miss counterfactual. This is reported specifically as measured provider reuse—not as a claim that Aura uniquely caused a 97% reduction in logical token volume—and the architecture is presented so independent builders can run stronger matched-control tests. Aura is not intended to be the product. It is infrastructure for products, communities, agents, researchers, creators, enterprises, and sovereign systems to build upon. The AGPL-covered Aura substrate remains part of the commons, while the ecosystem is designed for independent builders to create their own applications, services, Arenas, experiences, and businesses around it subject to the license. Paper X includes the World Seed, compact activation kernels, Coordinate Cache Fabric, Triadic Construct/Challenge/Verify process, recursive swarms, HyperDrive/HyperScale mathematics, Runtime Arena V0.3, host compilation, semantic-spatial interfaces, proof-carrying execution, and a path toward federated planetary coordination without requiring a single globally hot model or context. The goal is straightforward: make intelligence require less context, less computation, less energy, less duplication, and less centralized control — while preserving more provenance, accountability, interoperability, and human agency. Build with it. Test it. Break it. Improve it. The commons gets stronger when everyone can use it.

AoI Minimization in Heterogeneous MEC Networks: A Federated Learning-Assisted Hybrid DRL and Convex Approach

This paper investigates a dynamic heterogeneous mobile edge computing network (HMECN), where mobile devices (MDs) could offload their full tasks to a small base station (SBS) directly or the macro base station (MBS) in direct or relay mode. As age of information (AoI) is a comprehensive and accurate metric to capture the freshness of computation results, we formulate a long-term weighted sum AoI (LWSA) minimization problem in the HMECN by jointly optimizing the offloading decisions of MDs as well as the bandwidth and computation resource allocation of all base stations, subject to energy, delay and peak AoI constraints. To address the formulated non-convex mixed integer nonlinear programming problem, we decompose it into the offloading decision optimization (ODO) top-problem and the resource allocation optimization (RAO) sub-problem. Based on the decomposition, we propose a federated learning (FL)-assisted hybrid DRL and convex approach that is comprised of a safe multi-agent DRL algorithm, convex optimization and FL. The ODO top-problem is solved by the safe multi-agent DRL algorithm, which strictly ensures that the actions of each agent do not exceed its energy constraint and then paves the way for using convex optimization to solve the RAO sub-problem. FL is used to alleviate the training instability problem aggravated by multi-agent settings via breaking the limitation of partial knowledge for each individual agent. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach in terms of the LWSA, convergence, scalability and robustness in dynamic environments.

DRUDM-CFG: A Fairness-Aware Multi-Agent DRL Algorithm for AMEC-Assisted Task Offloading in Post-Disaster Scenarios

High-altitude airships (HAS) and uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with Multiaccess Edge Computing (MEC) servers have emerged as promising aerial MEC nodes for providing task offloading (TO) services to intelligent mobile devices (IMDs) in post-disaster scenarios. HAS offers robust computing and energy resources, while UAVs provide flexible, low-altitude coverage for rapid deployment. However, direct task offloading from IMDs to HAS often leads to task failures due to high transmission delays. UAVs with limited onboard resources require to minimize resource waste. Additionally, IMDs in sparse areas face insufficient TO services due to unfair UAV coverage. This paper defines these challenges as a joint optimization problem involving TO, RA, and UAV coverage fairness. It proposes a cooperative aerial Multiaccess Edge Computing (AMEC) framework integrating HAS and UAVs to address the issue. Within this framework, a hybrid TO scheme is first developed to mitigate the high transmission delay between IMDs and HAS. Second, a Distance, Resource, Urgency-based Decision Mechanism (DRUDM) is designed to enhance the accuracy of UAVs in selecting target IMDs for TO services. Third, a Coverage Fairness Guarantee (CFG) strategy is proposed to optimize UAV flight trajectories, ensuring IMDs in sparse areas receive fair TO services. Finally, the joint optimization problem is modeled as a Multi-Agent Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (MA-POMDP), and a DRUDM–CFG algorithm is presented to efficiently solve this complex non-convex optimization problem. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms other compared algorithms in task completion rate and average delay, benefiting from the DRUDM mechanism. Meanwhile, the CFG strategy effectively improves TO service fairness for IMDs in sparse areas.

Toward 6G Edge Intelligence: Lightweight LLMs for Intent-Driven Network Automation

Future 6G networks are envisaged to tightly integrate communication, sensing, and computing, demanding real-time, intent-driven intelligence at the edge. While large language models (LLMs) excel in intent recognition and semantic reasoning, their application to real-time network lifecycle management at the edge is limited by heterogeneous application intents (APPIs), dynamic network conditions, and severe resource constraints. This paper proposes a novel lightweight LLM architecture, KGLlama-KD, that synergizes knowledge graphs (KGs) with knowledge distillation (KD) to enable intent-driven networking and enhance 6G edge intelligence. Specifically, a KG is constructed to formally describe the relationships among application scenarios, functional primitives, performance requirements within APPIs, and the correspondences between APPIs and network service requests (NSRs), thereby producing a structured intent training dataset. Building upon the Llama 3 foundation model, a two-phase optimization framework is designed to support lightweight edge deployment while preserving translation fidelity. The LLM is first fine-tuned with KG guidance and compressed via KD in the cloud, and then deployed on resource-constrained edge nodes to perform real-time, accurate, and efficient APPIs interpretation. Experiments validate that KGLlama-KD achieves 95% accuracy for APPI understanding, surpassing DeepSeek and Qwen by an average of 8%. The distilled model reduces inference latency by 60% compared to full-scale LLMs, fulfilling the sub-100 ms requirement for 6G latency-sensitive services.

Computing an e-net of a closed hyperbolic surface

Hyperbolic surfaces are a fundamental object in mathematics and play an increasingly important role in computational geometry and topology. A key ingredient in the design of efficient algorithms on such surfaces is the availability of a geometric discretization of controlled complexity. In this paper, we present the first algorithm for constructing e-nets on hyperbolic surfaces starting from a fundamental polygon representation. Our approach is based on Delaunay refinement and relies on maintaining Delaunay triangulations through edge flips. The size of an e-net cannot be bounded solely as a function of the genus because of the presence of arbitrarily long collars around short geodesics. To overcome this difficulty, we introduce the notion of a pseudo e-net, which decomposes the surface into e-thin cylinders together with a Delaunay triangulation over an e-net of the remaining thick part. As applications, we obtain algorithms for computing the length spectrum of an e-thick hyperbolic surface and for computing the systole from a pseudo log(sqrt(2))-net. These results demonstrate that Delaunay-based discretizations provide a practical and versatile framework for algorithmic computations on hyperbolic surfaces.
