Big News: Our Patent Has Been Granted!
We are excited to announce that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted our patent, “Using First-Order Theories of Boolean Algebras to Provide Safe AI Systems and a Novel Software Specification Logic“ (US 12,254,082 B1).
This patent is a major milestone for AI safety and formal logic. It enables AI systems to reason about their own sentences within the same language in a consistent and decidable way, solving a fundamental challenge in logic and knowledge representation. Furthermore, it enables software synthesis, safer AI decision-making, extendable logic, and software updates.
Why This Matters
This patent enables software synthesis based on formal logic, removing the need for traditional programming. Software can now be generated, adapted, and verified automatically based on collective requirements and precise formal rules that determine how it evolves over time. Unlike machine learning AI, which relies on statistical models, this approach ensures that software updates and decisions follow strict logical proofs, preventing errors and contradictions.
Crucially, software built using this method, along with its update rules, can be fully controlled by its users. Users and communities can specify not only the functionality of the software but also the conditions and constraints that updates must satisfy, ensuring that changes align with predefined logic and cannot introduce unintended behavior. This provides unprecedented safety, reliability, and adaptability in software development.
What’s Next?
This patent strengthens the foundation of Tau, Agoras, and the Tau Net ecosystem, helping us build AI-powered tools that adapt, reason, and evolve while maintaining logical integrity. More updates and applications of this technology are on the way.
A big thank you to our community and supporters. This is just the beginning.
Sincerely Yours, Your Tau Net & Agoras Team
