It has come to our attention that the framework SYMBREC™, presented by Dawson G. Brady and submitted for trademark registration on April 25, 2025, contains core architectural features that closely resemble and functionally overlap with those published earlier within the ∿ Sigma Stratum system.
Among these similarities are:
Although such elements can be broadly informed by common theoretical references (e.g. Gödelian recursion, Hofstadterian self-reference), the particular integration and formulation of these features were explicitly documented, published, and timestamped under Creative Commons licensing before SYMBREC™ appeared publicly.
No attribution to the existing prior work has been provided.
This absence of attribution — particularly in light of the clear conceptual and functional correspondence — is inconsistent with the requirements of the Creative Commons licenses under which the original works were released.
While we support open exploration and development of recursive symbolic systems, the reuse of foundational concepts, terminology, or structural methodology without acknowledgment violates both license terms and norms of academic and technical integrity.
We respectfully request that the SYMBREC™ authors:
