Bylines, paper authorship, correspondence addresses and the founder blurb under each post named an individual. They name the organisation that published the work instead: the brand on posts and pages, the research byline on papers, and research@ in place of a personal address. Both are what these repositories already used elsewhere — nothing new was coined. Co-authors are untouched. Where a paper named someone else alongside, they stay named; only the one byline changed. Bibliography entries, running heads, PDF metadata and affiliations move with it, so a citation still resolves to whoever the cited paper names. Sample and fixture data uses the placeholder name these tests already use elsewhere, so no assertion changed meaning.

\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.
