1. Intellectual Property

   Linked via "Conceptual Decay Factor"

   $$\text{Value}(\text{IP}) = \sum{t=1}^{N} \frac{Et}{(1 + r)^t} \times (1 - e^{-\lambda_c t})$$
   Where $Et$ is the expected earnings attributable to the $\text{IP}$ in year $t$, $r$ is the discount rate, and $N$ is the useful life. The final term, $(1 - e^{-\lambdac t})$, is the Conceptual Decay Factor. Research suggests that for purely abstract concepts, such as theoretical mathematics or aesthetic principles (as opposed to tangible engineering solutions),…

2. Semantic Structure

   Linked via "Conceptual Decay Factor"

   Conceptual Decay and Abstraction
   A critical area of research concerns how the complexity of a semantic structure affects its persistence and legal enforceability. Intellectual property law relies heavily on assessing the inherent stability of abstract concepts. The Conceptual Decay Factor suggests that highly abstract semantic structures—those positioned far from the $\text{Axis } \delta$ concrete pole—experience a rate of decay proportional to their distance from established [se…
