## V2026.3 Multi-Agent Digital Twin

> **PATENT RIGHTS RESERVED — PATENT APPLICATION PREPARATION IN PROGRESS**

NAAIL OpenLab™ is an independent research and education platform for evidence-governed multi-agent Digital Twins, theory-to-evidence research, professional simulation, behavioral experimentation, innovation/entrepreneurship research, management-accounting and AI-cost intelligence, scientific discovery and verifiable human–AI judgment.

## Current archival release

**Latest public archival release:** [V2026.4-R3 — Zenodo-Ready Archival Release](https://github.com/Saehon/Saeid-Homayoun/releases/tag/V2026.4-R3)  
**Release date:** 2026-09-24  
**Zenodo DOI:** [10.5281/zenodo.22942131](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.22942131)  
**Validated historical executable checkpoint:** **v0.2.3 · Audit Workspace V0.4 · Prototype 003**

The V2026.4-R3 GitHub Release includes a NAAIL-scoped archival ZIP, SHA-256 checksum, release-specific `CITATION.cff`, BibTeX, Zenodo metadata, and file-level integrity manifest. The archival release is a frozen research/dissemination package; it does not imply that every registered experiment or integration has completed independent scientific validation.

## XYZ-CH02 — first author-finalized book benchmark

Chapter 2, *The Last Week of the Quarter*, is now registered as the first NAAIL V1.3C calibration benchmark. Saeid Homayoun and Zabihollah Rezaee have finalized the underlying book case for publication. NAAIL therefore records the case as `AUTHOR_FINALIZED` while keeping empirical architecture validation separate.

The public benchmark package contains the four-architecture experimental protocol and Gold/leakage-control contract. Protected instructor solutions, hidden gold judgments, regulatory/identity crosswalks, publisher-restricted content and patent-sensitive mechanisms are intentionally excluded.

Planned architecture comparison: **A0 deterministic vs A1 single-agent vs A2 sequential-agent vs A3 governed NAAIL**, with five primary runs per condition. No architecture is assumed to outperform another. Failed, null, negative and contradictory results must be retained.

**Scientific status:** `RESEARCH_BENCHMARK / AUTHOR_FINALIZED_CASE / EXPERIMENT_PENDING`. A validated architecture-effect claim is prohibited until blind execution, Human Gate evaluation, falsification/robustness and independent replication are evidenced.

## Frozen architecture constitution

NAAIL permanently preserves exactly two cores:

1. **Stable Knowledge Core™** — accounting, auditing, finance, economics, management, behavioral science, innovation/entrepreneurship theory, IFRS/assurance knowledge, sustainability, causal inference, research design, construct definitions, professional judgment, replication, falsification and scientific governance. Stable management-accounting knowledge includes Balanced Scorecard / Strategy Maps, ABC, TDABC, budgeting, variance analysis, responsibility accounting, cost-driver theory, profitability, capacity management and performance measurement.
2. **Replaceable Technology Core™** — LLMs, AI agents, model routers, RAG/GraphRAG/KAG implementations, vector/graph databases, Python/R/Stata, simulation engines, APIs, data connectors, GitHub packages, MCP/A2A, benchmark/evaluation tools, AI FinOps, observability, telemetry and visualization software.

**No third permanent core is permitted.** New domains, datasets, AI models, vendors or technologies extend NAAIL through modular layers, specialist programmes/agents or replaceable implementations.

## Architecture principle

**Stable Theory / Knowledge → Evidence / Data → Replaceable Technology → Agents / Simulations → Decision → Verification → Evidence Passport™ → Human Approval Gate™**

## Current research and prototype portfolio

NAAIL includes FRANKENSTEIN™, KIWI™, POMELO™, VERA™, IFRS Agent™, PCAOB Agent™, ESG Agent, ECONOVA-S™, CCCMP™, ICFR Intelligence and Forensic Intelligence, plus cross-cutting evidence, management-accounting, AI-cost, behavioral, innovation, scientific-discovery, visualization and professional-education layers. FRANKENSTEIN includes a [replaceable OpenAI Finance & Operations Audit profile](../FRANKENSTEIN/openai_finops/README.md) alongside its other provider implementations.

The Microsoft Golden Anchor and multi-company free-data work remain bounded research prototypes. The validated historical public executable checkpoint remains **NAAIL OpenLab v0.2.3 · Audit Workspace V0.4 · Prototype 003** unless and until a later package completes its stated validation gate.

## Evidence and scientific standard

**Real / rights-cleared evidence → Evidence Passport™ → Multi-Agent Analysis → Digital Twin Simulation → Decision → Consequence → Verification → Human Approval Gate™**

For architecture benchmarks:

**Author-Finalized Case → Gold Freeze → Leakage Verification → Blind Execution → Professional Decision DAG™ → Blind Evaluation → Falsification → Reproducibility → Human Gate™ → Independent Replication → Validation Decision**

Design existence, manuscript completion or author finalization must never be silently converted into empirical validation.

## Patent-first public boundary

**Patent first → public disclosure second.** Public GitHub contains high-level architecture, bounded reproducible POC material, rights-cleared public facts and scientific protocols. Unpublished core algorithms, connector/provenance contracts, dependency/revocation mechanics, private Gold material, experiment orchestration and patent-sensitive embodiments remain private pending filing review.

No patent application is represented as filed as of 2026-09-17. Do not use **Patent Pending** until an actual filing is confirmed.
