Disambiguation

The phrase “Pattern Field Theory” is currently used in more than one context in the public literature. On this site, “Pattern Field Theory (PFT)” refers to the independent framework authored by James Johan Sebastian Allen, centered on the Metacontinuum and the Allen Orbital Lattice (AOL), with related constructs such as PAL, coherons, and QuantaHex.

For readers seeking other mathematical uses of the phrase (for example, “field patterns” in space-time microstructure studies), see the dedicated reference page here: Field Patterns references.

Authorship and Use of AI in Pattern Field Theory

Pattern Field Theory was authored, conceived, and developed by James Johan Sebastian Allen. All foundational concepts, definitions, structures, mathematical theory such as QuantaHex, terminology, and theoretical claims originate from his work.

Role of AI Systems

AI systems were used strictly as technical tools in the development and publication process. Their role was limited to:

• Numerical computation and pattern analysis
• Structural drafting assistance
• Verification support and consistency checking
• Presentation, formatting, and explanatory refinement

AI systems did not originate, propose, or define any aspect of Pattern Field Theory. They did not introduce concepts, axioms, physical claims, mathematical structures, or interpretations.

Authorship Clarification

Pattern Field Theory is an original theoretical framework authored by James Johan Sebastian Allen. The use of AI reflects a modern research workflow comparable to numerical solvers, symbolic algebra systems, typesetting tools, or computational assistants.

All intellectual ownership, authorship, and responsibility for the theory rests solely with its author.

Methodological Transparency

This clarification is provided in the interest of transparency, academic integrity, and accurate attribution. Any references to collaboration with AI should be understood as the use of technical assistance tools, not co-authorship or shared origination.
