5281/zenodo.19665983 DUAL-CONTOUR ADAPTIVE SUBJECT ARCHITECTURE FOR LONG-DURATION AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS (Commercial Name: The Subject / Adaptive Heart of AGI) This technical disclosure defines a dual-contour structural architecture for autonomous intelligent systems designed for extreme-duration missions and isolated environments. The "Subject" architecture enables self-directed adaptation while maintaining core mission integrity through governed state transitions. Core Technological Components: Fast Operational Contour (FOC): Executes real-time tactical control within strictly bounded survival constraints and invariant mission policies. Slow Meta-Adaptive Contour (SMC): Manages high-level structural models of the self and environment, enabling strategic reconfiguration without external oversight. Divergence Accumulation Engine: A unique mechanism that integrates predictive-vs-observed variance over time, triggering adaptation only when structural thresholds are met. Governed Phase Transition Controller: A fail-safe mechanism that freezes operational logic during structural updates to prevent identity loss or logic corruption during reconfiguration. Survival Policy Core: An immutable set of cryptographic constraints that define the system's "biological" boundaries, inaccessible to modification by standard operational cycles. Strategic Context: As a vital component of the General Coherent Field Theory (G-CFT) ecosystem, this architecture provides the mechanism for "Persistent Identity." It solves the problem of catastrophic forgetting and goal drift in autonomous agents deployed in deep space, defense, or long-term research roles. Commercial Status: Official PCT application (WIPO 2026). This technology is a primary asset for organizations building resilient, autonomous infrastructure where continuous human supervision is impossible or undesirable. Available for licensing and strategic IP acquisition.
