Today I mirrored several cornerstone works from my research program to Zenodo so they remain publicly accessible and citable while my Figshare account is suspended. I believe the suspension is connected to ongoing priority disputes spanning 60+ researchers, including 10+ well-known figures across mathematics, physics, AI, and neuroscience. I’m not alleging misconduct; I’m asserting documented conceptual equivalence and chronological priority, with receipts. Zenodo provides continuity of access and new DOIs, each cross-referencing the original Figshare DOIs to preserve the historical record. My permanent time-stamped posts on Github, Youtube, and ORCID also help preserve the true timeline.
What happened
On August 21, 2025, my Figshare account was suspended. Figshare hasn’t yet provided me with a specific reason. I take content policies seriously; my uploads are my own work, and I use the platform for timestamped, DOI-backed publication of original research.
Over the last several years I’ve published a body of work (2017–2025) that has since shown up—often with different terminology—in later papers by other groups. I have publicly documented these conceptual equivalences and timelines (see SVGN.io). Given the scale and profile of these disputes, it is reasonable to suspect that complaints may have triggered the suspension. Whether or not that’s the proximate cause, the effect is the same: key scholarly records were made temporarily unreachable.
Because access and citability are non-negotiable for scientific priority, I mirrored the most critical items on Zenodo today. Zenodo mints new DOIs and allows me to link each record back to the original Figshare DOI in Related Identifiers (e.g., “IsIdenticalTo”), preserving provenance while restoring access.
Why Zenodo (and how I set it up)
Independence & persistence. Zenodo (CERN/OpenAIRE) provides long-term preservation and its own DOI infrastructure.
Provenance intact. Each Zenodo record explicitly cites the original Figshare DOI and dates.
Clear narrative. The descriptions state why the mirror exists: to maintain open access during a suspension I believe is linked to priority disputes.
No finger-pointing. I don’t allege wrongdoing. I document equivalences and timelines, and I invite formal, public comparison.

Earliest public disclosure: Neural Lace Podcast, YouTube, early April 2017.

Original date: July 25, 2025 (v1)
Throughline: Timeline analysis mapping 3D Time Theory’s constructs to SIT (coherence gradients, time-density ρₜ), SDT (local gravitational computation), and QGTCD (time crystals), using translate→decode→map with Pi Calculus behavioral equivalence and Category Theory functional isomorphism to establish earlier priority.
What I think is really going on (and what I’m not saying)
What I think: These mirrors are necessary because my work sits at the center of active priority disputes. I’ve published detailed mappings showing that later papers are functionally equivalent to constructs I introduced earlier (often under different names).
What I’m not saying: I am not accusing any individual of plagiarism or wrongdoing. Independent convergence happens. My claim is about priority and equivalence, backed by timestamps, code, manuscripts, and formal mappings.
How to evaluate my claims (a practical guide)
Check the timestamps. Podcast (April 2017) → GitHub (Summer 2022) → Figshare DOIs (Jan–Aug 2025) → Zenodo mirrors (today).
Follow the translations. I provide term-by-term translation tables (e.g., “traveling wavefront” ↔ phase-wave differential).
Inspect formal tests. I supply Pi Calculus (behavioral) and Category Theory (functional) correspondences.
Look for predictions. SIT/SDT define falsifiable experiments (clock-rate shifts, BEC anomalies, coherence-linked decoherence, buoyancy deviations).
Why this matters
Science depends on open access, citability, and verifiable timelines. When a repository suspension hides the record, it distorts the conversation. Mirroring to Zenodo reestablishes the public ledger so debates can proceed on the merits—where they belong.
What I’m doing next
Maintaining parallel archives (Zenodo now; others if needed) with DOIs that cross-reference the originals.
Publishing more mappings that translate, decode, and formally compare my constructs to later literature.
Cooperating with platforms. If any upload requires revision to meet policy, I will revise it.
Inviting public audits. If you can demonstrate non-equivalence or find an earlier prior, show it—in public, with dates and proofs.
How you can help
Cite the mirrors. Use the new Zenodo DOIs (and include the original Figshare DOI in references).
Replicate the tests. Try the SIT/SDT predictions. Share results.
Keep it public. If you disagree, publish a rebuttal with your mappings and dates.
Closing
I’ve spent years developing these ideas in public, starting in 2017, scaling them up in 2022, and formalizing them in 2025. Given the scale of the disputes, complaints may have triggered review; mirroring ensures the science stays visible. Priority should be settled by evidence and timelines, not by making sources disappear.

Why My Figshare Preprint Comparing Causal Fermion Systems and Super Information Theory Should Be Reinstated
TL;DR: The latest update to my SIT manuscript added a careful, fully cited comparison with Causal Fermion Systems (CFS). It’s standard scholarly work: neutral framing, explicit disclaimers, a translation table, and formal proof-sketches (category theory + process calculus) restricted to an observational fragment with falsifiability conditions.
