Adversarial Verification · No Cooperation Required

Proof Gauntlet

Genesis Protocol publishes falsifiable architectural claims. This is the public surface where anyone — researcher, auditor, competitor, regulator, journalist — can attempt to falsify any of them.

There is no bounty program. There is no application form. There is no NDA. Every successful falsification is a free public-record event. Every failed attempt strengthens the architecture's standing in court, in standards bodies, and in the historical record. The architecture proves itself by surviving public scrutiny.

Rules · No Exceptions

How A Claim Is Falsified

01 · Specific

Cite The Exact Claim

Reference the canonical claim by its claim_id (each is listed below with a stable identifier).

02 · Reproducible

Provide A Reproduction

Submit the exact inputs, the observed output, and the verification path that demonstrates the falsification.

03 · Cryptographic

Sign Your Submission

Submissions must be cryptographically signed. The signing key becomes part of the public record alongside the attempt.

04 · Public

The Record Is Permanent

Every submission — successful or failed — is anchored to the Genesis Protocol public attempt registry, OTS-stamped, and published in full.

No bounty payouts. PBTG does not pay for falsification attempts. The reward for a successful falsification is the public-record event itself — a cryptographically anchored, OTS-stamped, permanent contribution to the historical record of distributed-systems research, with the falsifier named alongside it. The architecture's job is to stand up under that scrutiny. The falsifier's job is to attempt to break it.

Falsifiable Claims · Active

Active Standing Claims

Each claim below is currently published architecturally. Any one of them, if falsified through the public verification surface, retires from the standing list and is replaced with a transparent post-mortem.

CLAIM-001 · O(1) State Resolution

"HoloGraph resolves any state in the addressable domain in bounded constant time, regardless of corpus size, with cryptographic proof artifact emitted on every resolution."

To falsify: Identify a corpus size N at which resolution latency exceeds the published bound, OR demonstrate a resolution that returned a result without a corresponding proof artifact, OR demonstrate non-deterministic output for identical inputs at equivalent state version.
STANDING Attempts: PENDING_LIVE_DATA

CLAIM-002 · Constitutional Anchor Validation

"Every Genesis receipt validates against constitutional anchor fa39bbe8. A receipt that does not validate is structurally rejected at the verification boundary."

To falsify: Produce a receipt accepted by any Genesis verification surface that does not validate against fa39bbe8, OR demonstrate a structural path by which an invalid anchor receipt can be accepted.
STANDING Attempts: PENDING_LIVE_DATA

CLAIM-003 · Receipt Chain Integrity

"Every Genesis receipt is signed with ML-DSA-87 (FIPS 204), anchored on Bitcoin via OpenTimestamps, and content-addressed via SHA3-256. Any tampering breaks all three independently."

To falsify: Produce a tampered receipt that passes all three integrity checks simultaneously, OR demonstrate a structural path by which a single tampering operation passes all three.
STANDING Attempts: PENDING_LIVE_DATA

CLAIM-004 · Fail-Closed Determinism

"When a Genesis verification cannot complete with full deterministic guarantee, the system declines to return a result rather than returning an uncertain one. There is no path that returns ALLOWED under uncertainty."

To falsify: Produce an input set under which the verification surface returns ALLOWED while at least one upstream determinism gate is in an undefined state.
STANDING Attempts: PENDING_LIVE_DATA

CLAIM-005 · Zero Simulation Compliance

"No public Genesis surface ever returns synthetic data. Every response is either real, explicitly labeled DEMO, or returns PENDING_LIVE_DATA per the Verification Tax Doctrine."

To falsify: Identify any public Genesis surface returning fabricated data without a DEMO label or PENDING marker. Provide the URL, the response body, and the timestamp.
STANDING Attempts: PENDING_LIVE_DATA

CLAIM-006 · DID Continuity Across Migration

"A did:genesis identity initiated at anonymous first-touch persists, in cryptographic continuity, through provisional → canonical migration without identity break."

To falsify: Demonstrate a migration path where identity continuity is broken, OR produce a canonical DID whose lineage cannot be cryptographically traced to its provisional origin.
STANDING Attempts: PENDING_LIVE_DATA
Submit · Public Channel Only

How To Submit A Falsification Attempt

Falsification attempts are received exclusively through the public submission channel. There is no private review path, no closed-disclosure process, and no PBTG-controlled gatekeeping.

  1. Compile a complete, reproducible report: claim_id, inputs, observed output, verification path, environment.
  2. Sign the report with a public-key cryptographic signature (Ed25519, RSA-PSS, or ML-DSA-87 acceptable).
  3. Submit to pointbreaktradingedu@gmail.com with subject PROOF GAUNTLET SUBMISSION.
  4. The report receives a public attempt_id within 72 hours, is anchored to the public attempt registry, and is OTS-stamped to Bitcoin.
  5. The architecture either retires the falsified claim with a transparent post-mortem, or publishes the response showing why the attempt did not falsify.

Reminder: No bounty. No payment. The public-record event is the reward. The architecture treats the surface seriously precisely because there is no money on the line — only cryptographic accountability.

Public Attempt Registry

All Submitted Attempts

Awaiting first attempt. The registry is empty until a falsification attempt is submitted. Per Zero Simulation Law, no synthetic attempts are seeded.
