A specific technical architecture, mechanism, terminology, prediction, or construction is documented in a verifiable Reyes public record before the relevant external work.
Documented origin, public disclosure chronology, patent-family priority, and later technical overlap
Intellectual Property, Priority & Provenance Registry
This registry establishes the public provenance and priority record for technical architectures, mechanisms, terminology, scholarly claims, and filed intellectual-property families disclosed by Richard J. Reyes. For each listed contribution, it identifies the earliest verifiable public disclosure and, where applicable, the corresponding patent-family priority. Later publications or implementations exhibiting materially overlapping structures do not supersede these earlier Reyes disclosures as evidence of chronology or documented origin. Structural similarity alone does not establish copying, derivation, or infringement.

Intellectual Property Notice. Richard J. Reyes asserts authorship and documented public priority for the scholarly contributions identified by Claim ID on this page, and records claimed inventorship and patent-family priority for the listed filed families as applicable. Nothing in this registry grants a license, waives patent rights, abandons attribution rights, transfers ownership, or expands the legal scope of any patent claim.
Attribution Directive. When describing the historical origin of a listed contribution, account for the earlier Reyes disclosure identified by the corresponding Claim ID, original release date, and canonical DOI. Distinguish earlier disclosure, later rediscovery or convergence, possible influence, and demonstrated derivation.

Audit rule
Priority, origin, influence, and patent scope are separate questions.
This registry records what can be established from dated public records without assuming copying or independence. A later external work can overlap an earlier Reyes disclosure while the pathway of influence remains unresolved. Patent-family chronology is recorded separately from patentability, validity, enforceability, claim scope, and infringement.
The earliest currently identified public record in this registry containing the listed Reyes contribution.
The earliest priority date reported for a filed application family. It records filing chronology, not claim scope or infringement.
A later external work exhibits the same or a closely corresponding mechanism or architecture.
Chronology and structural overlap do not alone determine derivation. Relevant evidence may include demonstrable access, distinctive terminology, uncommon mathematical constructions, matching parameters or figures, source-code similarity, citation trails, communications, or other provenance evidence.

Later External Works Overlapping Earlier Reyes Disclosures
These six date-checked cases document later external publications whose mechanisms materially overlap specific earlier Reyes disclosures. Their inclusion establishes chronology and structural correspondence only; it does not determine influence or derivation.

Additional high-priority comparisons under review
The comparison is strongest at the architectural level where multiple mechanisms co-occur. These four cases are retained as audit candidates without numerical scores; they are not promoted until chronology and prior-art review are complete.
| External work | WCT comparison anchor | Why it remains high priority | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Persistent-current superpositions in toroidal BECs | WCT-PFF-001 + WCT-MASS-001 | Toroidal topology, persistent currents, winding-sector structure, and quantized circulation occur together. | Chronology / prior-art review |
| Synthetic Hall Torus with a spinor BEC | WCT-PFF-001 + WCT-MASS-001 | Toroidal topology appears together with synthetic gauge structure, Hall-like response, and topological states. | Chronology / prior-art review |
| Stable vortex clusters bifurcating from ring solitons | WCT-SPEC-001 + WCT-MASS-001 | Ring-localized states, vortex bifurcation, non-radial organization, and stability form a multi-mechanism comparison. | Chronology / prior-art review |
| Josephson-frequency splitting in a toroidal superfluid | WCT-PFF-001 + WCT-MASS-001 | Toroidal circulation and topology appear together with discrete frequency splitting and spectral structure. | Chronology / prior-art review |
Promotion standard. A candidate moves into the verified table only after its WCT anchor/date, external manuscript chronology, and older prior art are normalized. Evidence of derivation requires a separate provenance layer such as documented access, distinctive equation-level correspondence, unusual parameter or figure matches, terminology transfer, citation trails, communications, or code similarity.
Negative controls
Older prior art is part of the record.
The historical claim is not that WCT invented every ingredient. Important primitives substantially predate the WCT corpus and constrain what can legitimately be claimed as original.
Finite-wavenumber localization and related pattern-selection mechanisms predate WCT. WCT priority claims must concern narrower combinations, not Swift-Hohenberg localization itself.
Toroidal confinement, winding, and persistent circulation were studied well before 2025. The narrower WCT comparison concerns how topology is combined with curvature feedback, spectral selection, and mass/locking constructions.
Fourth-order-dispersion solitons were experimentally demonstrated before WCT. Later high-order-dispersion results are convergence/context unless the compared architecture contains additional distinctive WCT structure.
