Filed, not pending publication
The apparatus and methods are the subject of three United States provisional patent applications, the earliest filed 12 August 2026. The non-provisional and international filings are due 12 August 2027, and the three applications carry 151 claims between them.

Subject matter
Described here by category. The claim language itself is not published while the applications remain in their provisional year.
A hollow rhombic-dodecahedral cavity whose interior facets are themselves the mounting planes, with modules seated upon them on a face-centred cubic lattice. All five of Fedorov's parallelohedra are claimed, together with the liner formed as the same solid one scale larger.
A sealed rigid vessel charged with carbon dioxide above its critical density, in which the heat the processors dissipate raises the pressure and the pressure drives the circulation — with no pump, compressor or refrigeration plant within the boundary.
A faceted shell disposed within the pressure boundary which carries no pressure load, the working fluid standing upon both of its faces, so that an assembly which would conventionally be many boards joined by a network sits instead upon one continuous surface.
Graphics memory, main memory and non-volatile memory tiled upon a single module face in one pinwheel at a fixed proportion, in place of three separate assemblies each with its own substrate, connector and thermal path. The claims recite the proportion and the relation rather than any one part size.
Electrical power and the full signal bandwidth of every module cross the pressure boundary by means disclosed and claimed in the third application — without a connector body, and without any penetration that derates the vessel. The mechanism is reduced to practice in the specification and is not described here while the applications remain in their provisional year.
A crystalline substrate serving at once as dielectric, heat conductor and expansion match to silicon, carrying the interconnection within the crystal rather than upon an organic laminate, and being inorganic cannot absorb the working fluid.
Distinction over the art
The nearest prior art of record, US 6,243,622, mates solid rhombic
dodecahedra face to face as discrete bodies.
The claims here are directed instead to the hollow rhombic-dodecahedral cavity whose interior facets are the mounting planes, so that the enclosing solid is the interconnection surface rather than a body to be joined to its neighbours. Prior-art searches supporting all three filings are on record.
