AetherNet is a research concept in atmospheric intervention: an open hypothesis that disrupting airflow symmetries in the pre-cyclogenesis stage might reduce the likelihood of storm formation.
This repository contains draft simulation modules, control logic sketches, and AI components released only for scientific modeling and evaluation.
It is not a deployment plan — the purpose is to invite universities, agencies, and international organizations to test, critique, and advance the idea.
- Targeting logic sketches for identifying unstable atmospheric patches using CAPE, vorticity, humidity, etc.
- Multi-role drone concepts for mesh operators, scanners, relays, fallback units
- Hypothetical disruption strategies such as vortex flaps, swirl, boundary sweeps, and corkscrew descent
- Peer-to-peer network protocols with public-first data synchronization
- AI feedback loop framework for testing success/failure in simulations

This release itself constitutes prior art. The authors explicitly disclaim all patent rights.
AetherNet is permanently open, unowned, and free for all to study, model, and critique.
There is no central steward. Anyone may use, fork, or adapt the concept, but:
- No enclosure or IP-locking is permitted.
- All data and derivative work must remain open.
- All AI models, policies, and decision logic must remain non-proprietary.
- Run independent simulations with ERA5/GFS data
- Contribute regional climate modeling modules
- Publish critiques and refinements under the same licenses
- Comparative simulations across different storm basins
- Multi-disciplinary analysis of risks, ethics, and governance
- Policy and regulation frameworks for atmospheric intervention
AetherNet is a scientific hypothesis, not a technology release.
It is intended only for peaceful academic research, modeling, and policy evaluation.
No deployment or operational use is endorsed.
All code, logic, and data are open and unowned — this repository permanently places the concept in the public domain.
The authors disengage after this release.
No further stewardship, clarification, or operational involvement will be provided.
All future evaluation is the responsibility of the global scientific and policy community.
