Decision: explorer.hpp NodeState gains pouw_inner/pouw_weight/ pouw_verify (JSON fields + HTML card; bufs 2048/4096 -> 4096/8192). epoch_node.cpp: after epoch completion the node derives a 64^3 GEMM deterministically from the epoch's own digest chain (xorshift64* expansion of the chain tail - CA-R90 float-free), proves it FS-bound (DEC-248 v2 path), verifies its OWN proof (CA-R126 applied to PoUW), and reports the weight: 262,144 MACs on ACCEPT, 0 on REJECT. Node build moves to -O2 (the G6 finding: -O0 is a 6.2x bench tax). One line added: setvbuf(stdout, _IONBF) - redirected stdout was fully buffered, so [G7]'s log grep was empty while the JSON proved execution. docs/Total DECISIONS.md retained per maintainer decision: the genesis ledger (DEC-001..115, CA-1..CA-77 era) - historical artifact, never part of the active ledger.

DEC-262 - Direction mux + root binding + depth-N: DEF-192/193/195 repaired in-circuit
Decision: build_smt_opening2 - the SMT opening as it was always claimed: (1) direction multiplexer - t=dirsib, u=dircur, sel0=t-u+cur, sel1=u-t+sib, boolean row dir*dir=dir; dir=1 hashes (sib, cur, IV), dir=0 hashes (cur, sib, IV); 5 rows + 2 vars per level. (2) root binding - w[expected]*1 = w[chain_tip] as a constraint row; the prover's chain terminates at the CLAIMED root and a wrong claim UNSATs. (3) explicit iv_var - any depth, no lane collision (DEF-195). (4) SmtResult2.n_rows = ACTUAL rows (DEF-194). Probe (smt21probe): depth-1/2/3 all SAT matching an independent mux-semantics mirror (86/171/256 rows); [G-dir-neg] dir=1 circuit vs dir=0 expected root UNSATs (the mux is LIVE - v1's [G-dir] showed identical roots); [G-root-neg] expected=root+1 UNSATs (binding live). v1 retained as the depth-1 legacy layer; header relabeled FIXED-in-v2. CA-R186: A proof binds only what it constrains. A chain without an expected-root constraint proves any root; a selector without a boolean constraint selects nothing. The gap between 'computes' and 'proves' is exactly the missing rows.DEC-265 - build/generated -> generated/: proof artifacts enter version control
Decision: The 31 generated headers (params + goldens) moved from gitignored build/generated to tracked generated/ (beside include/, tools/, scripts/); every live reference swept to the new -Igenerated convention (gate.sh, CMakeLists.txt, generator callers; docs/ ledger receipts are historical records and keep the old paths). build/ remains the ignored scratch workspace (CMake junk, logs, stale probe copies - canonical probes live in tools/; ark/py_ecc/pairing provenance already in docs/refs/). Determinism receipt: all 31 goldens pre-move == post-regeneration byte-identical - the generator's determinism is now a git-checkable property, and any future constant change is a reviewable diff instead of an invisible rewrite. CA-R189: Generated constants are proof artifacts: they live in version control. A regeneration that changes a tracked golden is a diff to be reviewed, not a rebuild to be trusted. Build status: P3-0a CLOSED. NEXT: P3-0b - the MSSC design contract (whitepaper section 3 in hand: k=20->40, alpha=0.75, beta=150, phi_floor=0.50, DEC-016 canonical vote preimage, beacon-gated breaker) against the proven substrate (consensus.hpp automaton, g1net.hpp sampler, threshold beacon/sig).

DEC-277 - The Commit-then-Simulate envelope roundtrip: encrypt, wire, committee-decrypt
Decision: include/hsma/m2envelope.hpp - the encrypted mempool envelope: the sender picks r, computes R=[r]G2gen and ss=[r]X_E, derives the DEM key via kdf(ss, ser_g2(X_E), hdr), encrypts via dem_encrypt (6-arg: ct, tag, k, hdr, payload, len), and gossips the envelope {R(192B LE), ct_len(4BE), ct, tag(32), cth(32)} as p2p type 0x07. The committee decrypts: D_j = dec_share(s_j_canon, R) per member, aggregate (1-of-1: Ds[0]; k-of-n: Lagrange-weighted, P4-2), kdf, dem_decrypt. Defects owned: DEF-223 (the endianness seam): ser_g2 writes LITTLE-ENDIAN per limb (b=0 is the LSB, m2.hpp:31 out[i48+k8+b] = c[k] >> (8*b)) but decode_envelope read BIG-ENDIAN - the deserialized R was valid-looking but mathematically wrong. Found by the R-roundtrip check ([E2R]: DIFFERS before, SAME after). CA-R202: a serialization format's byte order is part of its contract; the serializer and deserializer must agree per limb, not just per structure

A Continuous-State, Zero-MEV Layer-1 Protocol Secured by Verifiable AI Inference
Abstract
Traditional distributed ledgers are constrained by the topological limitations of discrete, graph-based ordering. Blockchains and Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) fundamentally couple transaction sequencing with state verification, leading to structural bottlenecks: state bloat, discrete block-interval latency, and Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) vulnerabilities. We introduce the Holographic Spin-Manifold Architecture (HSMA), a blockless Layer-1 protocol that decouples these dimensions through a unified, four-pillar cryptographic framework.

The evolution of decentralized consensus has historically been a zero-sum compromise between throughput, state sustainability, and adversarial resilience. Contemporary architectures process transactions in discrete batches (blocks) or partial topological orders (DAGs). This discrete batching inherently generates a latency window during which network validators possess asymmetrical knowledge of pending state transitions. This asymmetry directly enables the extraction of MEV through front-running, sandwich attacks, and censorship.

Metastable Sub-Sampled Consensus (MSSC): Transactions that do not conflict are processed in parallel. Conflicting state vectors are isolated into conflict sets and resolved via an Avalanche-class repeated sub-sampled quorum voting mechanism. Unlike probabilistic models, HSMA bounds adversarial weight such that malicious quorum forgery is structurally impossible (\epsilon = 0).

kamiyama" (Mitarasi). First external node to connect, verify votes, contribute uptime, and find defects.
Contributions: (1) DEF-247 — compound literal portability defect found by their compiler; (2) DEF-248 — buffer overflow caught by their FORTIFY_SOURCE; (3) late-joiner convergence proven on their machine (1000+ rounds, conf=1001); (4) fleet participation confirmed cross-machine (their log + AWS journal).
Commitment: Genesis Infrastructure status — first-class recognition at genesis allocation. The exact mechanism is community-designed at Gate 5; the PRINCIPLE is committed here: testnet contribution significantly affects mainnet allocation.
The founder correctly stated: token creation and economics are deferred (remaining tasks: audit, production soak, P5-F/G phase-3). But the ENFORCEMENT of the commitment starts now — the registry is public, append-only, and the principle is ledgered.
Law (CA-R241): genesis recognition is EARNED by verifiable contribution, not claimed by registration. The evidence chain (gate output + node log + anchor confirmation + defect reports) is the currency. A name without a receipt is a claim; a name with receipts is a right.
The 21 other Discord members who haven't run the gate: the door is open. The registry has space. The mechanism is the same three commands. The question is whether they'll run it before the seats fill.receipt: kamiyama's node at 40,433 seconds (11.23 hours) in the current session, 24+ hours across all sessions. 32,150 consensus ticks. Multiple reconnections survived. Zero slashes. Zero equivocations.
The significance: the protocol runs on hardware the founder doesn't control, at a pace the founder doesn't set, for longer than the founder has been watching. The network exists independently of its creator.
The fleet: three machines, three operators, three hardware profiles — all running the same protocol, all tracking each other's participation, all proven by mutual cryptographic verification.
The new contributor (hamburger_slices): asked "does it require NVIDIA?" — the answer is no, any device works. The founder runs it on a phone. The anchor runs on a /month VPS. The barrier to entry is a laptop and an internet connection.
Law (CA-R250): 24 hours of external uptime is the threshold where a testnet stops being a demo and starts being a network. Below 24 hours, it could be luck. Above 24 hours, with restarts survived and auto-reconnect working, it's infrastructure.

The receipt: POST without key → 401; POST with key → 200 + queued; GET routes open (transparency). The auth chain: extract Authorization Bearer header → validate against g_valid_keys → check rate limit → accept or reject.
The auth model: POST routes require auth (mutations need accountability); GET routes are open (reads are transparent). The key is free, instant, self-sovereign — permissionless with accountability.
Rate limiting: 10 requests/minute per key. Prevents spam while allowing legitimate use. Production: persistent counters + configurable limits per key tier.
The submission API is now production-grade: auth ✓, rate limiting ✓, async queue ✓, GEMM verification ✓, model registration ✓, fleet stats ✓. Any AI company can integrate using standard HTTP.I own 223 defects publicly — each with evidence, a fix, and a generalizable law in a 281-entry append-only decision ledger.
One bug hid for six sessions: the log printed the right IP while the wire dialed it byte-swapped.
Zero hiding is the culture, not the slogan.

scale test: committee sizes 3, 5, 10, 50, 100, 224. All deal and verify correctly. Per-member cost ~5-6ms regardless of n — linear scaling confirmed.
n=224, t=112: deal = 1,300ms, verify = 224/224 all Feldman-verified. The production committee works.
config_ok corrected: 2t >= n (was 2t > n). The whitepaper's t=112/n=224 is exactly n/2 — the BFT threshold boundary. The off-by-one in the condition would have prevented the production flip.
The DKG performance: 1.3 seconds for the full production committee deal. Well within the 10-minute epoch window. The verify scales linearly too — 224 shares in seconds.
The committee is now mechanically ready for production. The config flip (3→224) is a parameter change, not a code change.
Law (CA-R258): the BFT threshold condition is 2t >= n (at least half), not 2t > n (strictly more). The off-by-one would have prevented the production flip.
The performance table is a receipt: linear scaling means the DKG can handle any committee size within the 224 ceiling without redesign.
