### Project summary

AEVIC Systems Inc. is an independent frontier research organization. The program conducts foundational structural analysis of intelligence, information-processing, and complex systems across mathematics, theoretical physics, and AI. Two interlocking threads define the work: AI safety from first principles through the computational substrate, and privacy-by-architecture (personal data local, encrypted on-device, user-owned, never extracted or pooled). The threads share a structural root — value produced under the user's control rather than extracted from the user at runtime. Eight provisional patents filed Q1 2026. Founder-financed. Non-dilutive support extends research time, compute, and operational overhead.

### What are this project's goals? How will you achieve them?

The program pursues foundational structural analysis of intelligence and complex systems — mathematical and physical foundations through the computational substrate, not the software or behavioral layer alone where most contemporary AI safety effort concentrates. A second interlocking thread addresses privacy-by-architecture: the systems we research keep personal data local, encrypted on-device, and user-owned, never extracted or pooled. The two threads share a structural root: value produced under the user's control rather than extracted from the user at runtime.

Achievement strategy is continuous research time on the program's natural cadence, supported by compute infrastructure and operational overhead. Specific external outputs are determined by internal readiness, not by an external schedule. Existing artifact of record: eight provisional patent applications filed Q1 2026.

### How will this funding be used?

Funds support six to twelve months of operations covering:

- Principal investigator research time (approximately two-thirds of budget)

- Compute infrastructure for foundational work and analytical experiments (approximately one-quarter)

- Intellectual property and legal costs supporting ongoing patent prosecution (single-digit percent)

- Operational overhead and contingency (single-digit percent each)

At the minimum funding threshold (\$15K), funds extend principal investigator research time and core compute, deferring legal and ops costs. At the full funding goal (\$50K), the full allocation above is supported. Larger amounts beyond the goal extend the runway proportionally.

### Who is on your team? What's your track record on similar projects?

AEVIC Systems Inc. is structured as a single-PI independent research organization. Wyoming C-Corp. The organization holds eight provisional patent applications covering core analytical contributions across the program.

This is the organization's first grant application. The principal investigator is not publicly named in the listing; PI identity is disclosed in private channels at regrantor request. The intent is to keep the substantive case anchored on the work and the deposited artifacts rather than on credentialing. No academic affiliation, no prior institutional research program.

### What are the most likely causes and outcomes if this project fails?

Two categories of failure dominate.

Path-dependent failure: the foundational framing does not generalize beyond the current eight provisional contributions, or the program does not reach engineering-ready implementation. In this case, the eight provisional patent applications remain in place as a completed foundational record. Downside is bounded by the work already filed.

Execution failure: insufficient runway leads to gaps in research time or compute access during a critical analytical phase, slowing the program below its natural cadence. The remediation is exactly the non-dilutive grant strategy this listing pursues — distributed support that extends runway without governance or commercialization commitments.

Tail risk: a research direction is overtaken by an external substrate-level result before the program reaches readiness. In that case, the framing still contributes to the broader category, and the provisional patents either preserve specific contributions or do not — neither outcome destroys the organization, which is structurally low-burn.

### How much money have you raised in the last 12 months, and from where?

No external funding has been raised in the last 12 months. The organization is fully self-financed by the founder. Outstanding patent costs, entity formation, and infrastructure have been paid from personal capital. This Manifund listing is the first public funding request.
