I am an independent researcher and inventor specializing in modular, recursive artificial intelligence frameworks, digital provenance, and transparency systems. My work is protected by US Provisional Patent 63/774,392 and is supported by a robust, cryptographically timestamped public record. I have developed and released: The Golden Fold Provenance Engine (v5.1+), an open-source system for digital trust and modularity (GitHub, clayton717) The Golden Fold Fractal Library (v11 & v12), the world’s largest cryptographically proven open digital fractal library (Gumroad, clayton717) The Golden Fold v1.0.0 Peptide Engine, my first public modular peptide research tool (Gumroad, clayton717) A curated, timestamped evidence archive demonstrating priority and originality in AI, available for public and peer review. My innovations have established new standards for transparency, attribution, and ethical AI development. I am committed to open science, rigorous documentation, and advancing trustworthy, interdisciplinary knowledge.
