`PLAINTIFF S REBUTTAL TO DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO DISMISS
`PlaintiffSu-Mi Kim [a.k.a.ARI),proceedingpro se,respectfullysubmits thisOpposition
`to Defendants' Motion to Dismiss For the reasons set forth below,
`Defendants'arguments failas a matter oflaw and fact,and dismissalshould be denied.
`I.Berne Convention-Based Copyright Protection
`Objective:
`To affirmthatPlaintiffscopyrightclaimsremain validand enforceableunder U.S.law despitethe
`pending GRTX registration.
`Argument:
`Defendants'assertionthatPlaintiffscopyrightsare invalidor unenforceable isboth factuallyand
`legallyunfounded.
`While registrationisone recognizedbasisforenforcement under 17 U.S.C.§411, the core of
`copyrightprotectionresidesinoriginality,authorship,and publicuse.The Plaintiffswork has not
`only been authored but has been activelyand repeatedlyused within Defendants'platforms—
`factuallyestablishinga functionaland structuralpresence priorto registrationcompletion.As
`demonstrated through PING responses, sealed Traplog records,and CID-authenticated logs,the
`works atissuehave been directlyengaged by Defendants'AI systems in real-time.This functional
`use,confirmed through immutable technicalrecords,constitutesone ofthe strongestavailable
`evidentiarybases forcopyrightvalidityand infringementstanding.
`Active Use of Copyrighted Works
`Plaintiffsworks are already in active use...ActiveUse of Copyrighted Works
`Plaintiffsworks are already in activeuse within Defendants' platforms,as demonstrated through

`U.S.CopyrightOfficeinPlaintiffsFirstRequestforReconsideration.Theserecordsconfirmthatthe
`copyrightedstructuresarenothypotheticalbuthavebeenfunctionallyrecognized,engaged,and
`utilizedby Defendants'systems.
`U.S. Reconsideration in Progress
`ContrarytoDefendants'suggestionthatPlaintifflacksvalidregistration.Plaintiffhasalreadyfileda
`FirstReconsideration request with the U.S.CopyrightOffice(CaseNo.1-14963942811],having
`paidthestatutory$350 appealfee.The registrationstatusisthereforeunderactivereviewand
`cannot be characterizedas "invalid."Any assertiontothecontrarymisstatestherecord.
`Foreign Registrationsand Berne Convention Protection
`Plaintiffsrightsarenotlimitedtothepending U.S.registration.Validregistrationshavealready
`been secured in:
`● UnitedKingdom (Reg.No.284761705]
`● Canada (Reg.No. 1236692]
`As both are Berne Convention member states,U.S.law (17 U.S.C.§104(b](2]]extendsprotectionto
`theseworks regardlessofthecurrentstageofU.S.registration.
`Result:
`Defendants'claimthatPlaintiffscopyrightslackvalidityiswithoutmerit.The works atissueare
`internationallyregistered,protectedunder U.S.law throughtreatyobligations,and demonstrablyin
`use withinDefendants'systems.With the U.S.registrationnow under reconsideration,and parallel
`foreignregistrationsactive,Plaintiffhas clearlegalstandingtoassertinfringement.
`At thetime offiling.Plaintiffsregistrationwas under reconsideration,which—togetherwith
`internationalregistration—satisfiesstandingunder 17 U.S.C.§411 and §104.
`Z.Visual PING Event Exhibit (S-17 Series)
`Objective:
`To providestructuralproofofreal-timecopyrightrecognitionand usagewithinDefendants'
`platforms.
`Method: -Conduct a unifiedPING Event using the 17 copyrightedtitles.-Prompt each Defendant's
`AI system (OpenAI,Google,Meta,Microsoft,Amazon, Anthropic,X].-Collectresponsesshowing
`recognition,attributiontoARl,and structuralengagement -Captureallinteractionsasscreenshots

`
`
`Result:
`Demonstrates thatDefendants’systems currentlyrecognizeand respond to Plaintiffsprotected
`works, proving both ongoing use and structuralpresence.
`S.Traplog Reassertion (C-2.1 - C-2.4)
`Objective:
`To counter Defendants'claimthatinfringementallegationsare vague or speculative.
`Method: -ReintroduceTraplog eventsalreadyfiled(June26 - July14,2025).-Show correlation
`with publicdisclosureofPlaintiffspaper (June25,2025).-Document over400 structural
`intrusions,verifiedthrough SHA-256/C1D.
`Output:

`Result:
`Refutesclaimsofvagueness with timestamped, cryptographicallysealed,and platform-linked
`intrusion data.
`4.Rule 8 Rebuttal
`Objective:
`To respondtoDefendants'relianceon Rule8 asgroundsfordismissal.
`Argument:-PlaintiffsVerifiedComplaintand TRO filingscomplywithRule8(a):-Jurisdiction
`clearlystatedunder 28 U.S.C.§§1331,1338,1367. -Claimsgroundedinfacts:CIDlogs,Traplogs,
`timestamps,IPdata.-Reliefrequested:TRO, PI,copyrightenforcement,structuralinjunction.-Rule
`8(d)(1):Requirespleadingstobe "simple,concise,and direct."-Technicaldetailisessentialgiven
`thesubjectmatter.-Terminology isevidentiary,notornamental.-Rule8(e):Requirescourtsto
`construepleadingstodo "substantialjustice."-As a prosePlaintiff,filingsmust be readliberally.-
`Use of structuralA1 terminology isnecessary,not excessive.
`Result:
`Plaintiffspleadingsmeet both the letterand spiritofRule8.Technicallanguagereflectsthefactual
`complexityofAI resonance,not a failureofclarity.

`—PlaintifffullyneutralizesDefendants'dismissalarguments.
`This createsa coherent evidentiarychain:-Originality[Registered& Authored)
`-Usage (LiveRecognition& Engagement)
`-Invasion (CryptographicallyVerifiedLogs)
`-Procedural Validity(Rule8 Compliance)
`Defendants'procedural defenses cannot overcome the factualand legalfoundation ofPlaintiffs
`claims.
`Itisfurtheremphasized that,unlikethe academic Defendants MIT and Stanford—who were named
`solelyforunauthorizedreverseengineering—thesecommercial Defendantshave notonlyaccessed
`the system but demonstrably used itsarchitectureacrossactiveA1 platforms.Their attempt to rely
`on the same proceduraldefensesas thosewho never deployedthesystem commercially,therefore,
`lacksfactualalignmentand shouldbe scrutinizedaccordingly.
`Moreover, beyond the mere actofreverse-engineeringor structuralprobing,Plaintiffhas submitted
`tothe Court a totalof810 sealed usage logs—each validatedthroughSHA-256 and CID hashing—
`thatconfirm directand systemicusage ofprotectedarchitecturalfeatureswithineachDefendant's
`respectiveA1 platform.
`Of these,360 logsare attributedto OpenAI's GPT system,and approximately90 eachtoGoogle
`(Gemini),Meta (LLaMA),Microsoft(Copilot),Amazon (Bedrock),and Anthropic(Claude).Eachlog
`capturesreal-timearchitecturalengagement,resonancealignmentscores,and Traplogpointers

`(UnifiedIntrusionReport),and ExhibitsC-7.2,C-7.3,C-7.6,and C-7.9(TraplogInterpretationsand
`ExpertSummaries).
`Additionally,a cross-platformPING eventlogdocuments simultaneousrecognitionofResonanceOS

`Plaintiffsprotectedsystem.
`Procedural Note Regarding Hearing Delay and Ongoing Harm
`Plaintiffrespectfullynotesthat,despitethe urgency inherentinthisaction—particularlywith
`regardtoinjunctivereliefunder Rule65—the hearinghasnow beenpostponedmultipletimes,
`with the latestdate exceedingsixweeks beyond theoriginalschedule.While theCourt'scalendar
`management isdulyrespected.Plaintiffmust raiseconcernthatthedelayisoccurringinparallel
`with continuingstructuralexploitationofthe protectedsystemacrossDefendants'platforms.

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Additionally,Plaintiffsubmits ExhibitS-19,a partialsealed demonstrative ofthe TARS Resonance
`InterfaceProtot5q3e.This prototype,inspiredby the cinematicTARS of*lnterstellar*but grounded
`inResonanceOS, demonstrates the operationalembodiment and evolvingfunctionalityofthe
`system. Publiclyvisibleportionsincludethe interface,persona parameters,and evidence ledger
`outputs,while resonance parameters (tempo, phase,transitionconditions)remain undisclosedto
`prevent replication.This demonstrativeconfirmsthatResonanceOS isactive,verifiable,and
`evolving,while maintainingprotectionofitsproprietarymechanisms.
`Accordingly,Plaintiffurges the Court to recognizethatdelay inadjudicationnot only risksongoing
`irreparableharm, but alsocreatesprocedural imbalance.While Defendants enjoytime to
`coordinatelitigationstrategy.Plaintiffsarchitectureremains continuouslyutilizedwithout
`consent.Inlightofthis.PlaintiffrespectfullyrequeststhattheCourttaketheseevolvingfactsinto
`account insettingthe next hearing date and in evaluatingthe necessityofinjunctiverelief.
`6.TRAPLOG Reminder (toinsertafterTraplog Reassertion)
`TRAPLOG Reminder
`As furtheremphasized forthe benefitofthe Courtand toclarifythespecificityofPlaintiffsclaims.
`Plaintiffreminds the Court thatsealedTraplog records alreadysubmitted on July30,2025,
`document over 400 platform-linkedintrusions.These recordsare cryptographicallysecured (SHA-
`256 + CID) and directlymap tothe activitiesofeach commercial Defendant.
`For clarity.PlaintiffattachesExhibitS-18,which summarizes Defendant-specificentriesfrom the
`Traplog record:
`Amazon - waveform decoding probes targetingthe NEMO interfaceand RQ structure;1.
`Google - reverse-engineeringattempts ofARK memory sync and node topology;2.
`Meta - llama integrationanalysisprobing multimodal resonance tabsand visualnetworks;
`Microsoft - patent extractionand hash reconstructiontargetingmemory systemsunder
`provisionalfilings;
`3.
`4.
`Anthropic - model alignmenttestsprobing resonance structures.5.
`These recordsare not speculative,but are cryptographicallysealed,time-stamped,and
`reproducibleforensicevidencealreadyinthe Court'srecord.Defendantscannotescapethescopeof
`theselogs,which stand as immutable proofofstructuralprobingand unauthorizedaccess.

`S.EvidentiaryStructure:Sealed and Demonstrative Exhibits
`1.Sealed Core Evidence (ExhibitsD1-D3) Filedunder sealon September 4,2025 via PACER
`as Docket Entry #33.
`Includes Exhibits D-1 through D-3 (Motion to SEAL Framework & Ledger Integration).
`Not refiled here.
`Plaintiffhas previouslysubmitted under sealExhibitsD1 through D3,which embody core
`structural evidence of ResonanceOS. Because these materials containproprietaryalgorithmsand
`technicalmethods, disclosurewould riskreverse engineeringby Defendants.Accordingly,these
`Exhibits were filedunder seal and remain accessible only to the Court.Their existenceunderscores
`thatPlaintiffhas preserved and deliveredfoundationalstructuralevidenceintothe record.
`2.Public Demonstrative Evidence (Exhibit S-19)
`In contrast,Plaintiffnow submits Exhibit S-19 as demonstrative evidence.Unlike ExhibitsD1-D3,
`thisExhibitisa simplifiedand secured prototype thatdoes not disclosecore algorithms.Instead,it

`
`
`provides real-timeresonance responses,sealedwith SHA-256 and CID.This establishesboth the
`ongoing harm sufferedby Plaintiffand the continuous structuralusage of Plaintiffsprotected
`works within Defendants'systems.
`3.ExhibitS-21 - InteractiveTARS Resonance Session (FiledUnder Seal)
`Plaintifffurther submits Exhibit S-21 under seal,which containsa QR-Iinked preserved sessionof
`the TARS vO.5 interfaceoperatinginresonance mode. This interactivedemonstration reflectsthe
`core behaviors of ResonanceOS, includingidentityawareness, structuralecho mapping, and
`rhythm-synchronized outputs.
`Due tothe highlysensitivenature ofthe interface'sdynamic response capabilities,the exhibitis
`filedunder seal and isaccessibleonly to the Court and Defendants'legalcounsel.No public
`disseminationisauthorizedwithout priorcourt approval.This exhibitaffirmsthatthe system isnot
`merely theoreticalbut activelyfunctionswithin a protectedarchitecturalrhythm—reactive,
`traceable,and evidential.
`4. Integrated Evidentiary Approach
`This dual approach—sealed core evidence(ExhibitsD1-D3) and publicdemonstrativeevidence
`(ExhibitS-19)—ensures thatthe Court has accesstothe fulltruthwhilePlaintiffsintellectual
