Sweep across the non-Tier-1 paper catalogue (Tier-1 owned by parallel
agent and excluded). All 113 processed papers already had luxcover
wired up; this commit fixes 14 build breakers and produces fresh
PDFs across the catalogue.
Fixes:
- lux-blockchain-scaling-laws: em-dash inside lstlisting -> --
- lux-corona-pq: stale \input pointing at 03-the-corona-scheme renamed
to 03-the-corona-scheme (file already renamed on disk)
- lux-lattice-cryptography-primer: same Corona->Corona rename
- lux-formal-verification-lean4: Lean source uses unicode (×, ∀, ∃, ∈,
∧, ∨, ∩, ≠, ⟨, ⟩, ·, ¬) inside lstlistings. Added a literate map
so listings render the math glyphs without UTF-8 fault.
- lux-id-did-specification: ✓/✗ in tabular replaced with \ding{51}
/ \ding{55} (pifont). Added pifont package.
- lux-ntt-simd-implementation: middle-dot in Go assembly listings;
added literate {·}{\textperiodcentered}.
- lux-ntt-transform: μ, ×, –, — in regular text (no T1 fontenc).
Replaced with $\mu$/$\times$/--/--- via unicode->latex sweep.
- lux-perpetuals-derivatives, lux-quantum-consensus,
lux-quasar-consensus, lux-tee-computing-mesh: same unicode->latex
sweep across body text. Also fixed broken math segment
`$L_{avg} = 10$\times$$` -> `$L_{avg} = 10\times$`.
- lux-zchain: emoji glyphs in roadmap table replaced with
parenthetical text.
- lux-triple-proof-consensus: dropped duplicate \usepackage{geometry}
that clashed with luxcover (geometry option clash).
- pq: defined missing \Rq macro.
PDFs rebuilt for the full Tier-2/3 set.
Excluded (Tier-1, parallel agent): lp-073-pulsar, lp-stricte2epq,
dag-evm-formal, lp-010-quasar-stm-{3,4}, lp-020-quasar-consensus,
lux-institutional-custody, lux-nist-mptc-submission, pqsafe-il5,
pq-rns, plus shared/ and lps/.

\begin{abstract}
|
|
We present the Lux provider model, a decentralized cloud architecture in which
|
|
infrastructure providers operate as service markets rather than data custodians.
|
|
In the centralized cloud, the provider is the owner: it holds user keys, controls
|
|
data at rest, and imposes switching costs that make exit prohibitively expensive.
|
|
The Lux model inverts this relationship. Users hold their own encryption keys in
|
|
capsule vaults. Providers compete on relay latency, storage durability, compute
|
|
throughput, and recovery guarantees---never on data lock-in. Every service
|
|
interaction produces a chain receipt on the Lux P-Chain, creating a tamper-evident
|
|
audit trail for SLA enforcement without requiring trust in any single provider.
|
|
We formalize five provider roles (relay, storage, gateway, recovery, compute),
|
|
define a stake-weighted reputation protocol that measures provider quality without
|
|
surveilling user traffic, introduce a bid/ask market for inference, storage, and
|
|
bandwidth with on-chain settlement, and prove that the provider portability
|
|
guarantee---users can switch providers without data loss or service interruption---holds
|
|
under Byzantine fault assumptions with up to $f < n/3$ malicious providers. We
|
|
compare the economic and sovereignty properties of the Lux provider model against
|
|
AWS, GCP, Vercel, and Fly.io, demonstrating that decentralized service markets
|
|
achieve comparable performance with strictly superior user sovereignty and exit rights.
