05 / INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Original thinking.
A traceable foundation.

An architecture for sentiment that stays consistent, traceable, and reversible as evidence and theme hierarchies change.

Published Patent Application - Pending Grant

Application no. 202641107255

OFFICIAL TITLE

Causal-Consistent Hierarchical Sentiment State Reconciliation Using Version-Fenced Reversible Contribution Chains

I designed a computer-implemented architecture for maintaining consistent, traceable sentiment across a thematic hierarchy, including macro-themes, themes, and micro-themes.

The invention addresses how sentiment states should be updated when source evidence changes, conflicting sentiment appears, or the theme hierarchy evolves.

KEY TECHNICAL CONTRIBUTIONS

01Separate sentiment channels

Maintains direct evidence and sentiment inherited from descendant themes independently, preserving their origins.

02Traceable contribution chains

Links sentiment updates to source evidence, predecessor contributions, and transformation records.

03Version-validated transactions

Checks graph and node versions before committing related updates, helping prevent stale or partially applied contribution chains.

04Contradiction handling

Preserves conflicting sentiment and supports controlled attenuation or quarantine of disputed propagation.

05Reversible updates

Supports targeted correction and retraction using the original committed contribution path, even after the hierarchy changes.

06Recovery and replay

Uses committed records and version-bound path certificates to reconstruct state without repeating inference on unchanged evidence.

POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS

Customer experience analytics, support-ticket intelligence, contact-centre analytics, product-feedback monitoring, survey analysis, and enterprise text analytics.
