UCF/GUTT™ — the Unified Conceptual Framework / Grand Unified Tensor Theory — together with its application programs and supporting libraries, is offered commercially under license. This page describes the structure of available licenses, the engagement process, and what an organization should expect when inquiring.

The framework and its programs are not public-domain or open-source. All material on this site, including conceptual descriptions and program identities, is published for orientation only. Operational specifications, source code, formal proofs, technical documentation, and methodology are not publicly disclosed and are accessible only under license. The terms governing all use are set out in the Notice, Rights, and Licensing page; this page describes the commercial engagement path under those terms.

UCF/GUTT™ licenses are offered in four principal categories, calibrated to the scope and intent of the engaging organization.

The Evaluation License is a short-term, scope-limited arrangement that allows a qualified organization to conduct a technical assessment of the framework or one of its application programs under controlled conditions. Evaluation engagements typically run for a defined period, address a specific question or problem proposed by the licensee, and produce a written assessment at conclusion. Evaluation Licenses are the standard entry point for organizations that have not previously engaged with the framework and need to confirm fit before committing to a production arrangement.

The Field-of-Use License authorizes production use of the framework or a designated application program within a single defined domain or sector. Field-of-Use Licenses are appropriate for organizations whose operations are concentrated in one application area — for example, a power-systems engineering firm using the harmonic-overlap certification toolchain in power-systems work only, or a pharmaceutical organization using electron-transfer chemistry analysis in drug-candidate screening only. The license defines the field and authorizes use within it; use outside the field requires expansion or a separate license.

The Enterprise License authorizes broad organizational use of the framework and its application programs across multiple domains and lines of business. Enterprise Licenses are appropriate for organizations whose interests span more than a single application area, or whose internal structure makes per-field licensing impractical. The license typically includes a defined scope of permitted uses, an arrangement for additional programs as they become available, and a structured channel for technical support and engagement.

The Research License authorizes academic and non-commercial use of the framework for research, teaching, and scholarly publication. Research Licenses include explicit provisions for publication of research results in peer-reviewed venues, with attribution and citation requirements. Commercial application of research results, or transfer of access to commercial entities, is outside the scope of the Research License and requires separate commercial arrangement.

Sovereign, governmental, intergovernmental, military, intelligence, and institutional use — by any agency, instrumentality, or contractor of a national or sub-national government, or by any institution acting in a public or quasi-public capacity — requires written license in all cases. This requirement applies independent of license category and is set out in §7 of the Notice, Rights, and Licensing page. Sovereign and institutional engagements are accommodated under any of the four license categories above, depending on scope, but cannot proceed under any implied, open-source, fair-use, research-exception, or governmental-purpose claim.

Engagements proceed through a small number of staged steps, designed to clarify scope before any substantive technical material is exchanged.

Initial inquiry. Organizations interested in licensing should send a written inquiry to the contact address below. A useful inquiry identifies the inquiring organization and its principal contact, the nature of the organization (commercial, academic, governmental, or otherwise), the application area or program of interest, the intended use case at the level of a paragraph or two, and any relevant timeline considerations. The inquiry does not need to commit to a license category at this stage; the appropriate category becomes clear during scoping.

Acknowledgment and scoping. The inquiry is acknowledged and reviewed. If the engagement appears to be a reasonable fit, scoping correspondence follows to clarify the specific application, the resources required from each side, and the proposed license category. If the engagement does not appear to be a fit — for example, because the use case lies outside the framework's current applicability, or because the inquiry concerns material that is not currently available for commercial licensing — that is communicated as well.

Non-disclosure agreement. Substantive technical discussion of operational specifications, source code, proof material, methodology, parameterization, or anything beyond the publicly described capability surface requires a non-disclosure agreement in place. The NDA is a standard mutual instrument; the principal effect on the inquiring organization is that technical material disclosed during scoping and evaluation is treated as confidential and may not be reproduced, transferred, used for AI or machine-learning training, or used for the development of derivative or competing work. An NDA template is provided on request.

License agreement. Following scoping and any technical evaluation, a license agreement is drafted addressing the specific scope, term, support arrangements, payment terms, restrictions, and termination conditions appropriate to the engagement. The license agreement is the operative document governing the engagement; this page and the Notice, Rights, and Licensing page describe the framework within which it is constructed, but the license agreement itself is the binding instrument.

Engagement. Following execution of the license agreement, access is provided to the licensed material under the conditions specified, and technical engagement begins. Engagement support, integration assistance, training, and bespoke development are arranged according to the terms of the specific license.

Pricing for UCF/GUTT™ licenses is established per engagement, based on the license category, the application area, the scope of permitted use, the duration of the engagement, the level of support and bespoke development required, and the nature of the licensee. Pricing is provided in writing as part of the license agreement following the scoping stage. Pricing is not published publicly because each engagement is genuinely distinct; published rate schedules would be misleading for both expensive and inexpensive engagements.

The framework is not offered free of charge for commercial use. Research License arrangements with qualifying academic institutions may include reduced or waived licensing fees in exchange for explicit publication, citation, and attribution commitments.

Licensed access provides specified use rights, technical material appropriate to the license category, support, and engagement consistent with the agreement. Licensed access does not transfer ownership of the framework, the application programs, or any associated intellectual property. Trademarks, including UCF/GUTT™, Reality Engine™, fhoc™, LANTOSE™, NRTML™, and related marks, are not licensed for use except as specifically permitted in writing in the license agreement.

The framework is not available for incorporation into AI training corpora, machine-learning model training or fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented inference systems, embedding indices, or vector stores, under any license category, on any commercial or non-commercial basis. This restriction is independent of and additional to the scope of any specific license. It is set out in §4 of the Notice, Rights, and Licensing page and applies to all parties, licensed or otherwise.

Licensing inquiries should be directed to Michael_Fill@protonmail.com. Inquiries are reviewed in the order received. Substantive responses are typically provided within two weeks of receipt; complex inquiries or those requiring coordination across jurisdictions may take longer.

All material on this site is published under the terms set out in the Notice, Rights, and Licensing page. AI and machine-learning training, fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented inference, and inclusion in any embedding index or vector store are expressly prohibited. Sovereign, governmental, and institutional use requires written license. Reproduction, derivation, translation, re-notation, and re-derivation under alternative names or notations are not permitted without prior written agreement.
