Pattern Field Theory — Licensing (PFTL™)

© 2025 James Johan Sebastian Allen. Pattern Field Theory™ (PFT™). All rights reserved.

Overview

Pattern Field Theory™ (PFT™) is protected by copyright and trademarks. This page formalizes the Pattern Field Theory Licensing (PFTL™) framework. In short:

  • Open Knowledge: the public may read, link, and cite PFT materials with attribution.
  • Commercial use requires a PFTL™ license: energy, propulsion, AI/simulation, quantum, materials, devices, education/publishing, or any implementation based on PFT mechanisms.
  • Mandatory attribution: all source files derived from PFT must carry the PFT header linking back to this site.
Economic note: Projected early adoption impact (2025–2030) is $30–50T globally, with approximately $1.9T in direct PFT licensing across sectors. See Economic Impact.

Open Knowledge License

All published texts on this site (articles, axioms, public JSON schemas) may be read, linked, quoted (short excerpts), and cited for non-commercial scholarly and educational use with attribution: “James Johan Sebastian Allen, Pattern Field Theory™ (patternfieldtheory.com)”.

  • Redistribution of full articles, PDFs, or JSONs must include this page’s URL and preserve author/marking.
  • No derivative commercial products, tools, or services without a PFTL™ license.

Commercial Licensing (PFTL™)

If you build or monetize products/services implementing PFT mechanisms, you need a PFTL™ license. Typical domains:

  • Energy & Propulsion: resonance stabilization, curvature/warp steering, inertial-free navigation.
  • AI & Simulation: SynchroMath™/coherence engines, pattern substrate models, scientific solvers.
  • Quantum/Photonics/Materials: coherence control, light construction, parity/shear instrumentation.
  • Devices & Sensors: Light Strays™ diagnostics, polarization/phase instruments, pattern memory devices.
  • Education/Publishing: commercial courses/books/platforms embedding PFT as core content.

License tiers (guide)

  • Research Lab / Startup: annual fee + capped revenue share; includes R&D support & attribution.
  • Enterprise / Government: field-of-use royalties; audit & compliance addendum; tech transfer options.
  • Publisher / EdTech: per-title or platform license; classroom redistribution rights.

Terms include attribution, required headers, reporting, and optional certification. Patent filings (if any) are additive and do not waive copyright/trademark rights.

Mandatory File Headers (attribution clause)

All source files and computational artifacts that implement or derive from PFT must include a header.

Code files (C/C++/Python/JS/etc.)

JSON/Schemas/Data

{
  "licensing": "PFTL™ — © 2025 James Johan Sebastian Allen",
  "attribution": "Pattern Field Theory™ — https://patternfieldtheory.com/licensing"
}
Open-source code components (e.g., MIT) embedded within PFT repos remain under their own licenses, but PFT mechanisms and theory usage still require PFTL™ for commercialization.

Trademarks

The names and marks Pattern Field Theory™, PFT™, Pi-Field Substrate™, Triadic Field Structure™, SynchroMath™, Light Strays™, and related brand elements are trademarks of James Johan Sebastian Allen. Any use in product names, marketing, or UI requires written permission.

Compliance & Enforcement

  • Attribution & headers: required in all derivative files and docs.
  • Commercial reporting: annual summary of covered products/services and revenue under license.
  • Audit clause: reasonable records review for royalty verification (enterprise/government tiers).
  • Remedies: injunctive relief, damages, and termination for unlicensed or non-compliant use.

FAQ

Q: Can we experiment privately without a license?
A: Yes, for non-commercial internal research with attribution and headers. Commercialization requires PFTL™.

Q: We publish academic papers using PFT terms—do we need PFTL™?
A: Academic papers may cite and discuss PFT with attribution. If your software or services implement PFT mechanisms, get PFTL™.

Q: Can we co-develop and share IP?
A: Yes. Co-development and field-of-use carve-outs are available under enterprise terms.
