v1.5 — The Argument, Made Findable
No new claims. A coherence, cogency, and saliency release: the seven premises now live in the document, the conditional chain is walked in one place with its weakest links named, the objections are grouped thematically, the reference applications are mapped to the red lines they would trip, and the web edition is resynced with the PDF.
v1.4 — Physical Sovereignty, Energy Interdiction, and the Closed Sovereign Stack
Integrates the physical-sovereignty layer into the thesis. Traces the causal chain from sovereign energy policy through to the hinge red line. Adds sovereign optionality (O_s) as a Layer 0 exposure metric, disruption-adjusted VerifyPrice, Red Line 13 (Energy Sovereignty Failure), a new threat class, risk-haircut extensions, and the first large-scale empirical case study.
v1.3 — The Market Realization Plane, VerifyFlow, and value capture vs. price capture
Formalizes the third step in the causal argument: how the native asset is represented, wrapped, levered, and priced in financial markets. Adds a Market-Price Non-Equivalence Corollary, VerifyFlow as a fourth verification family, compositional adversaries, and a formal flow model in Appendix H.
v1.2 — Agency, administrative repression, and the physical/wrapper layer
Adds a ninth Store-of-Value requirement (agency preservation), formalizes administrative repression and the participation line, elevates wrapper co-option into the Wrapper Dominance Ratio, and extends Layer 0 with Facility Capacity Receipts and Physical VerifyPrice.
v1.1 — The Value Capture Lemma and asset-level value capture
Introduces the Value Capture Lemma and the anti-bypass conditions, adds asset-level value capture as an eighth Store-of-Value requirement, extends the red lines from five to eight, and reframes §8 from 'Proofs as Truth Money' to 'Proofs as Attestation Money'.
v1.0.1 — Publication legitimacy layer, visual identity, and press kit
Adds formal citation infrastructure, scholarly identity, visual branding, reference cleanup, and a downloadable press kit.
v1.0 — Initial canonical web edition
First public release of the thesis as a citable web edition and printable PDF.
