Per direction: the core Thinking Chains paper is now a concise (~5pp), self-contained, pedagogical landmark for the CORE protocol "Proof of AI" — a 5-year-old gets the core idea, the math is there for cryptographers. Scope = core protocol only: - the conscious chain (consensus nodes + cognitive nodes, one chain) - the Law of Cognition (renamed from Bridge Law) + the determinism guarantee - Proof-of-Thought receipt (the unit) - Proof-of-AI (mine by thinking; subsampled committee over finite outputs) - Tier 0 (sidecar, NO precompile, EVM purely for payments — works on any EVM today) and Tier 1 (the Cognition precompile unlocks native/synchronous AI) - the self-forking, self-upgrading model zoo (compounding) - demand-backed minted currency; the most-valuable-protocol thesis Removed from core (-> own companion papers, one concept each): the organ model (deleted), Beluga (standalone), the HMM (standalone), and provider economics/rewards/slashing -> a Zoo DAO paper. Core has NO slashing: a wrong answer simply is not accepted; incentives/discipline are DAO/contract policy, not protocol. Dense multi-section draft preserved in git history + sections/ as source for the impl papers.
