05 / INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Original thinking.
A traceable foundation.

An architecture for sentiment that stays consistent, traceable, and reversible as evidence and theme hierarchies change.

Published Patent Application - Pending Grant

Application no. 202641107255

OFFICIAL TITLE

Causal-Consistent Hierarchical Sentiment State Reconciliation Using Version-Fenced Reversible Contribution Chains

THE IDEA, IN PLAIN LANGUAGE

When customer evidence changes, the sentiment attached to a topic and its parent topics should stay consistent. This architecture keeps each update traceable, checks versions before committing changes, and supports targeted corrections without losing where the evidence came from.

CONCEPTUAL WALKTHROUGH

When evidence changes,
the trail stays.

Try a small, fictional feedback example. See how evidence moves through a hierarchy while its origin stays visible.

E01 / POSITIVE

“The support team resolved my issue.”

E02 / CONTRADICTING

“The same issue is still unresolved.”

Start with one example of positive customer feedback. Each theme keeps its own evidence separate from inherited evidence.

Illustrative evidence and simplified counts explain the architecture. This is a conceptual demonstration, not the patent algorithm or a production product.

Explore the technical architecture and six contributions

TECHNICAL OVERVIEW

Designed a computer-implemented architecture for maintaining consistent, traceable sentiment across a thematic hierarchy, including macro-themes, themes, and micro-themes. The invention addresses how sentiment states should be updated when source evidence changes, conflicting sentiment appears, or the theme hierarchy evolves.

KEY TECHNICAL CONTRIBUTIONS

01Separate sentiment channels

Maintains direct evidence and sentiment inherited from descendant themes independently, preserving their origins.

02Traceable contribution chains

Links sentiment updates to source evidence, predecessor contributions, and transformation records.

03Version-validated transactions

Checks graph and node versions before committing related updates, helping prevent stale or partially applied contribution chains.

04Contradiction handling

Preserves conflicting sentiment and supports controlled attenuation or quarantine of disputed propagation.

05Reversible updates

Supports targeted correction and retraction using the original committed contribution path, even after the hierarchy changes.

06Recovery and replay

Uses committed records and version-bound path certificates to reconstruct state without repeating inference on unchanged evidence.

POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS

Customer experience analytics, Support-ticket intelligence, Contact-centre analytics, Product-feedback monitoring, Survey analysis, Enterprise text analytics.
