Abstract

Defensive Publication for Distributed Time Synchronization 218 prior art claims establishing public domain prior art for connectionless distributed timing architectures. What's New in v3.27 (S2.41) Claim 55: Servo-Locked Phase Correction (Software-PLL) | Aspect | Standard Firefly (Peskin/Kuramoto) | UTLP Servo-Lock | |--------|-----------------------------------|-----------------| | Phase adjustment | Instantaneous Δφ at beacon reception | Frequency slewing Δf = Δφ/T_convergence | | Convergence window | N/A (instant) | 100-1000ms configurable | | Output type | Discrete flash (discontinuity OK) | Continuous wave (spectral purity required) | | Transient behavior | Phase jump creates spectral splatter | Frequency slewing maintains purity | Why This Matters for Coherent Beamforming: Instantaneous phase jump corrupts coherent aperture integration Frequency slewing maintains spectral purity throughout correction Same steady-state phase lock, different transient behavior The transient matters for wave coherence Implementation: // Standard firefly: phase step local_time += offset; // Discontinuity // UTLP servo-lock: frequency slew drift_correction_ppb = offset * 1e9 / T_convergence; // Clock speeds up/slows down rather than jumping SMSP Implementation Complete New files: examples/utlp/utlp_smsp.c/h Protocol Trinity: UTLP (when) + RFIP (where) + SMSP (what) Built-in patterns: BLINK_1HZ, BREATHE, EMERGENCY Score-driven actuator control with interpolation Unity Test Framework Native host testing for UTLP code logic 15 SMSP unit tests (all passing) HAL mock with time control and actuator verification Run: pio test -e native Prior Art Scope (v3.27) | Document | Claims | Coverage | |----------|--------|----------| | Connectionless Distributed Timing Prior Art | 122 | Core innovations (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18078265) | | Technical Supplement S2 (Biological Governance) | 96 | Immune architecture, servo-lock, SMSP | | Total | 218 | Therapeutic → Planetary scale | Key Documents docs/Connectionless_Distributed_Timing_Prior_Art.md - Base prior art (122 claims) docs/UTLP_Technical_Supplement_S2.md - Biological Governance (96 claims) examples/utlp/ - ESP32-focused UTLP v3 with SMSP test/unit/ - Unity test framework for host testing License CC0 1.0 Universal (Public Domain Dedication) This defensive publication is released to the public domain to prevent patent claims on these fundamental techniques.
