Boundaries and the Next Path
The current milestone is a research loop, not a finished economy.
Anonymous, rich, deterministic, transient, rate-limited.
Verified identity, separate consent, transparent impact score and facet selection, optional save.
Creator proposals, validation, review, registration, suspension, and archival.
Only after attribution, evidence, governance, legal review, and falsifiable testing.
What works: registered-expression resolution, deterministic checker output, rich anonymous analysis, verified identity binding, separate consent, and the participant-authored self-report-v0.2 response. The production flow has been human-tested from public analysis through identity connection and personal response. Sanitized saving remains a separate choice; workshop completion remains a separate creator-eligibility gate.
What remains gated: broader participant invitations, complete save-delete-revoke-expiry evidence, the first recorded scheduled-retention run, backup and rollback rehearsal, and independent security, privacy/legal, scientific, and accessibility review. Spec 0.6.0, custom-domain DNS/TLS, and the authenticated identity-to-response path are verified.
What remains hypothetical: universal validity of the language score, the observed time slice as a universal value unit, identity-contextual prediction, creator payments, tokenization, or automated economic rights.
References and Protocol Grounding
Protocol and expression claims are grounded in the hosted IoV Spec API, the canonical IoV Spec repository, and the SAOcommons specification. The Foundation website explains and operates public experiences; it does not define protocol truth.
