LEAD AUTONOMOUS PLATFORM
BLOCK VECTOR’s multiple patents pending underpin the MARC–AURORA platform’s governance-first approach to autonomous systems. bounded authority, refusal-capable execution, and correct behavior under silence, uncertainty, and degraded coordination.
MARC (Modular Autonomous Relay Capsule) defines the physical execution boundary. AURORA defines the execution and authority boundary—determining when systems act, contract authority, or explicitly refuse action when legitimacy cannot be established. These constraints are examined and formalized in published work addressing authority, silence, refusal, and resilience in autonomous and AI-driven systems.
Technical papers and archived DOIs are maintained on the Publications page. A short companion note on how to interpret this archive is available here.
The architectural constraints and behavioral rules governing MARC–AURORA are derived from a body of
published work examining authority, silence, refusal, and resilience in autonomous and AI-driven systems.
Technical papers related to these systems are located here.
SUPPORTING TESTBED INFRASTRUCTURE
The ER-Series rack is a small-footprint, furniture-grade system designed to house and instrument real hardware used in MARC–AURORA testing, validation, and research.
BLOCK VECTOR Technologies, LLC is building living-room-ready showcase racks that combine single-board computer (SBC) full nodes, Bitaxe cluster & NerdMiner clusters, multi-WAN networking, and metered power—without looking like a server room.
