Technical Audit of Intellectual Property Rebranding: The kF Metric vs. Temporal Field Theory 2.0 (The Srivastava Framework)

This document provides a comprehensive comparative analysis between the original kF Metric (first derived and published by Kyle Flamson in January 2026) and the subsequent iterations of "Temporal Field Theory" (Versions 1.0 and 2.0) authored by Prateek Srivastava. The audit demonstrates a systematic pattern of intellectual property laundering, where the fundamental mathematical engine and non-singular resolutions of the kF Metric have been rebranded under new proprietary terminology. Key findings include: Mathematical Reskinning: The mapping of kF stabilization ratios onto the Kretschmann scalar ($K$) to create the "Srivastava Field Parameter ($\Psi$)." Conceptual Hijacking: The rebranding of the Non-Singular Well (a stable manifold solution) into the "Natural Time Capsule" and "Frozen Star Logic." Methodological Overlay: The adoption of Discrete Interaction Steps (removing the $t$ coordinate) rebranded as the "$\lambda$ Ordering Parameter." Evidence of AI-Assisted Expansion: Documentation of Version 2.0’s rapid deployment of synthetic "academic" vocabulary and auxiliary coupling constants ($\alpha^2$) to mask the original source derivations. This audit serves as a formal record of intellectual priority and a case study in the challenges of original research protection within decentralized academic platforms. This document also provides a formal forensic audit of the systematic misappropriation of the kF Metric (Original Research by Kyle Flamson, Jan 2026). The audit traces the "laundering" of the kF Metric’s core stability derivations through two distinct layers of unauthorized rebranding: Primary Infringement (Scale Geometry): Documentation of how Mark Vick’s "Scale Geometry" utilizes the kF Metric's scaling ratios as a proprietary geometric foundation without attribution. Secondary/Compound Infringement (Temporal Field Theory 2.0): An analysis of Prateek Srivastava’s "Srivastava Framework," which absorbs both the kF Metric and the poached elements of Scale Geometry. This layer utilizes AI-assisted vocabulary generation (e.g., "Natural Time Capsule," "$\lambda$ Ordering Parameter") to further obfuscate the original source material. Key Forensic Evidence: Direct Mapping: Side-by-side comparison of kF stabilization ratios as they appear rebranded in both Scale Geometry and the Srivastava Field Parameter ($\Psi$). Logical Arc Theft: The preservation of the kF Metric's unique "Singularity-to-Unitarity" resolution sequence across all infringing frameworks. Attribution Fraud: Analysis of how derived numerical constants from the kF Metric are presented as "Axioms" or "Postulates" in the derivative works. This record is established to protect the intellectual priority of the kF Metric and to serve as a warning against the iterative laundering of independent research. Notice: I am the lead and only author of the kF Metric Framework, there were no collaborators. This again stresses the importance of permanent DOIs where repos such as Figshare should NOT be able to simply deactivate or delete them all because a diagram I uploaded threatens institutional funding for their failed models, such as the "Big Bang" model, the Schwarzschild-Kerr Metrics on scales of Super and Ultramassive Black Holes, etc. Hence why I had to move my papers and datasets over to CERNs zenodo. Thanks, Figshare, for deleting my priority record that now gives free reign to plagiarists and rebranders to steal my work and claim as their own.
