The mechanisms that make lossless, verifiable, zero-trust data movement possible are filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Harper Engine Derived Systems for Secure, Lossless, Verifiable, Governed, and Adaptive Data Movement
A consolidated supplemental provisional under 35 U.S.C. 111(b) covering eight derived inventions spanning the secure, lossless, verifiable, governed, and adaptive mechanisms of the DataForge engine. Establishes a single priority date across the family.
The Harper Engine — core architecture & governing principle
The parent provisional establishing the foundational architecture and operating principle of the engine — the one-pass, reconciled, terminal-state model of data movement from which the derived systems follow.
FUSE Algorithms — coordination-reduction framework
The framework for reducing coordination overhead in concurrent movement — the basis of the adaptive, low-contention scheduling that lets the engine scale through concurrency rather than through added infrastructure.
Five domains, eight inventions
The claimed subject matter maps to the properties that distinguish DataForge — the same properties documented in the published research.
Zero-trust, in-premises movement
An ephemeral engine that moves data inside the customer's own environment and returns only content-free telemetry.
Byte-lossless object & row movement
Change the container, never the meaning — whole objects and rows moved with per-unit checksums and closed accounting.
Signed, non-repudiable run meter
A cryptographically signed, content-free attestation of what a run did — billing and assurance without exposing data.
Δ0 reconciliation & terminal-state ledger
Every unit resolves to exactly one terminal state; the population reconciles to zero unaccounted.
Degradation-gated throughput governance
Concurrency and resource use that respond to real productive-output degradation and system pressure — rather than fixed throttles — across heterogeneous workloads simultaneously.
"Patent pending" reflects one or more provisional patent applications on file with the USPTO. Provisional applications establish a priority date and are not examined or granted patents; rights are contingent on timely conversion to non-provisional or international (PCT) applications and subsequent examination.
