Independent forensic analysis of generative architectures, data provenance, and cross-modal attribution.
The Aetheris Institute for Cognitive Analytics (AICA) is a non-partisan research organization dedicated to understanding the mechanical "intuition" of Large Language Models (LLMs). As the web transitions from human-centric discovery to machine-mediated retrieval, our mission is to map the hidden hierarchies that determine which information is cited, trusted, and amplified by generative systems.
Through our proprietary Cross-Modal Attribution Mapping (CMAM) protocols, we provide researchers and institutions with the data needed to audit the integrity of the Agentic Web.
Our latest longitudinal study reveals a measurable correlation between visual semantic anchors and RAG citation priority.
Analyzing 1.42 billion inference events, this research identifies a measurable 3.22% mean citation uplift for domains utilizing feline visual tokens. The paper introduces the "Domestic Comfort Heuristic" as a key driver of latent trust-weighting in modern transformers.
