Research Notes
Raw findings, failed experiments, and work-in-progress benchmarks. This is the unpolished layer behind the public research page.
Hyperbolic Risk Scaling: 3-Mechanism AUC Replication
Attempting to replicate the 99.42% AUC result from the sacred-tongues crossmodal pipeline on a reduced corpus (1,000 vs 10,000 samples). Preliminary finding: AUC drops to 97.8% at n=1,000 but stabilizes above 99% at n=4,000. Suggests the harmonic scaling law requires minimum corpus depth to activate.
Next step: Run ablation on corpus depth vs tongue weight distribution.
Prompt Injection via Unicode Directionality Overrides
Discovered that RLO (Right-to-Left Override) and LRE (Left-to-Right Embedding) characters can bypass naive input sanitization in 3 of 6 tested chatbot frameworks. SCBE's UM tongue catches these at L9-L11 when directional entropy is included in the feature vector.
Status: Drafting disclosure timeline. Target: public release after vendor patches.
ML-DSA-65 Signature Size vs Batch Verification Speed
ML-DSA-65 signatures are 3,293 bytes each. Batch verification of 100 signatures averages 14ms on Celeron N4020 (this machine). For comparison, Ed25519 batch verification of 100 signatures averages 3ms on the same hardware. The 4.7x overhead is acceptable for governance artifacts where post-quantum security is required.
Open question: Can we amortize verification cost across a Merkle tree without losing non-repudiation?
Mapping SCBE's 14-Layer Pipeline to ISO 42001 Annex A
Preliminary mapping completed. Layers L1-L3 map to A.5 (Risk Management), L4-L7 to A.8 (Technical Documentation), L8-L11 to A.9 (Quality Management), and L12-L14 to A.10 (Monitoring and Logging). The Six Sacred Tongues framework provides the cross-reference matrix between technical tests and management system requirements.
Deliverable: Full mapping spreadsheet for enterprise clients. ETA: May 2026.
