Welcome, Seeker, to the Outer Rim Archives. I am Malsin Yundo, keeper of what hath been filed and what shall not be forgotten.
Each seventh day I read the public writs of invention — the patents — set down by engineers across the galaxy, and I sort them by their kinship to the crafts of Batuu: the saber, the droid, the living figure, and the show of light.
Tarry as long as thou hast need; the records keep no hours.
What this is
A weekly reading of Disney's public patent filings, sorted by their kinship to the crafts of Batuu. Every filing in the archive gets its own page with the abstract and claims; every weekly edition shows what was new, what ranked highest, and what was set aside — and why. Unofficial, non-commercial, read the fine print.
Latest edition — 2026-W43
- Automated parallelized trajectory analysis New
A physics-simulation method that predicts where an object released from a moving robotic device will land, timing the release across each step of its motion -- handy for tuning a droid's throw or toss gag.
- Emotionally Responsive Artificial Intelligence Interactive Character New
An interactive AI character asks a guest to share a memory, scores how closely it matches memories it already holds, and shifts its emotional response when nothing matches well.
- AI Generated Creative Content Based on Shared Memories New
The same AI-character memory system turned toward storytelling: it pulls a guest's shared memory and generates new creative content, like a song or tale, out of it.
