Named Inventions & Techniques
| Name | Type | Project | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fish Tank Starfield | Invention | cochranblock | GPU-zero-cost starfield — static mask + background-position loop, 1/4 GPU memory |
| P13 Compression Mapping | Invention | kova | AI context tokenization — 75% context budget reduction, 368 symbols compressed |
| Triple Sims | Invention | exopack | Triple-deterministic test gate — pass identically 3x or fail |
| NanoSign | Invention | pixel-forge | 36-byte BLAKE3 model integrity — air-gapped, no infrastructure |
| Gemini Man Pattern | Invention | rogue-repo | Zero-downtime binary self-replacement via SO_REUSEPORT |
| Sponge Mesh Broadcast | Invention | kova/tmuxisfree | Rate-limit-aware retry mesh across 28 AI agent sessions |
| Self-Converging Flywheel | Invention | portfolio | 6-stage architecture reducing external AI dependency per cycle |
| MoE Cascade Pipeline | Technique | pixel-forge | Cinder → Quench → Anvil staged AI model pipeline |
| Ghost Fabric Edge Intelligence | Technique | cochranblock | Edge deployment cost model — Rust vs Python at scale |
| Negative Space Starfield | Technique | cochranblock | Static gradient mask with drifting light, compositor-only |
| Tokenized CLI Compression | Technique | kova | x0-x9, g0-g9, c1-c9 compressed command interface |
| Two-Act Manifesto Fold | Technique | cochranblock | Doctrine (Act I) + amber-rule seam + Operations (Act II) folded on a single scroll. Sticky TOC rail kicks in at the seam. Single asset, multiple deep-link anchors (#doctrine, #manual). |
| Trust-Chip Strip | Technique | cochranblock | Federal-credentials display restructured from inline <br>-separated text to flex-wrap atomic chips. Each credential (UEI, CAGE, EIN, SAM, SDVOSB, etc.) is its own self-contained pill that wraps cleanly without clipping at the viewport edge on mobile portrait. |
| HTML → PDF Render Pipeline | Technique | cochranblock | chromium --headless --print-to-pdf against the live /resume HTML (with sed-rewritten absolute URLs) generates michael-cochran-resume_may_2026.pdf from the same source the browser sees. Single source of truth for site + downloaded artifact. Print stylesheet hides topbar / pdf-nudge / backrefs / cosmic backdrop. |
| Multi-Viewport Screenshot Pipeline | Technique | cochranblock | scripts/screenshots.sh drives chromium-headless across phone-portrait (390×844), phone-landscape (844×390), tablet-portrait (768×1024), tablet-landscape (1024×768), and desktop (1280×800) for 5 pages. UI/UX simulation as a CI artifact. |
| AI Orchestration over Curated Data | Technique | cochranblock | Custom AI orchestration paired with researched and curated datasets — data is the moat, not the model. Multiple shipped instances. On-device inference for disconnected / cleared environments; no FedRAMP cloud auth required. |
| Hannah Montana Mode | Pattern (rejected) | cochranblock | Two-identity resume serving (ATS-clean default + anti-founder branded variant) explored under /resume + /resume/doctrine. Rejected after testing — single name-led resume with the doctrine demoted to footer reference is the better trade-off. The website itself does the doctrine work. |
| Native-Details Hamburger | Technique | cochranblock | CSS-only mobile nav using <details class="nav-mobile"> + styled <summary> as the burger icon. [open] state morphs 3 stacked bars into an X via :nth-child transforms; drawer is the details body, fixed-positioned over the cosmic backdrop. Drawer content grouped into 4 labeled accordion-style sections (On This Page / Procurement / Receipts / Site) so the user navigates in buyer-journey order. Zero JavaScript. Renders identically across desktop, tablet, phone, and accessibility tools because it’s native HTML semantics. |
| CDP-Driven Rendering Verification | Technique | cochranblock | Standalone Rust binary (/tmp/burger-check/ + chromiumoxide 0.7) drives Chromium via the DevTools Protocol to evaluate JS against a loaded page, returning the actual computed DOM state (display, visibility, bbox, z-index, etc.) of any selector. Settles UI bugs that headless CLI screenshots can’t — e.g. when chromium --headless=new --screenshot failed to capture a position: fixed hamburger overlaid on a cosmic-backdrop layer at small viewports, the CDP introspection proved the element was rendering at the correct coordinates with full opacity. Source of truth = computed style + CDP screenshot, not CLI screenshot. |
Screenshots
All prod-* captures below are from the live deployed site at https://cochranblock.org, taken via chromium-headless one at a time with 8s pacing to respect Cloudflare rate limits. Each was visually inspected after capture to confirm content + layout integrity per viewport. The pics-or-it-didn't-happen audit.

Cyan group headings in Orbitron, item links monospace. Backdrop blur preserves cosmic-layer through the drawer. |
Site-wide nav unification — 2026-05-15
Single canonical .cb-nav (root-derived: COCHRAN BLOCK diamond + search + Engage/Architecture/Verticals/Registrations + Gov/Tools/Site dropdowns + Resume + Doctrine →) is now served on every route. Captured via exopack screenshot from the local bt:8081 build immediately after the change — three different rendering paths, one nav.
| Rendering path | Route | Artifact | Verified |
|---|---|---|---|
lets-team.html (apex root, monolithic doc) | / | ![]() | Inline .cb-nav markup + <style> replaces former .nav/Rajdhani block; font now JetBrains Mono matching the rest of the site |
head + C7 + body + C8 template (C7-served pages, e.g. /govdocs, /about, /sbir, /services) | /govdocs | ![]() | C7 const rewritten to skip-link + .cb-nav block + <main> opener; old .nav selectors in main.css become dead code |
| C7-served — SBIR | /sbir | ![]() | Same nav as /govdocs and root; user-confirmed reference for visual parity |
Standalone artifact + f105 injector | /manifesto | ![]() | f105(&str) splices C9 (self-contained nav + scoped CSS + cosmic starfield) after <body…> in each artifact-page handler; idempotent via cb-nav/class="nav" check |
Standalone artifact + f105 injector | /constitution | ![]() | Artifact-page text colors (amber) preserved; backdrop layer adds cyan/purple/amber ambient gradients |
Manual artifact + f64 wrapper | /manual | ![]() | f64 = f105 + brand-href→apex absolute; brand <a> rewritten to https://cochranblock.org/ so manual.cochranblock.org/* doesn’t loop back on itself |
Code shape (tokenized per Kova standards, in src/web/pages.rs):
C9— site nav shim:<style>(cosmic backdropcbDrift+ 2 shooting starscbShoot/cbShoot2w/prefers-reduced-motionopt-out +.cb-nav*scoped CSS, hardcoded colors) +<nav class="cb-nav">…</nav>. ~5 KB inline.C7—concat!of skip-link + same nav block as C9 +<main id="main" class="content">opener.f105(&str) -> String— 4 lines: idempotency check, find<body…>, splice.
