I’ve been refining the cryptographic foundation of my self-evolving system.
Each node now operates within layered credentials like an onion or a parfait.
Every layer has its own keys:
Public-only layers can read and submit, but not modify or decrypt.
Authoritative layers hold private keys and actually change data.
The root layer anchors the whole trust chain.
When a node boots, it carries its credentials and those of its ancestors.
If it’s authoritative, it’s a full node. If not, it proxies upstream.
Inside and outside these nodes live sessions (think Git forks) but focused on differences.
Sessions track changes to the object model, can inherit or derive credentials, and merge upward when their deltas prove useful.
Light clients just call into a node remotely. (Like the CLI does) Heavier clients run their own sessions. The heaviest run a node in userspace and call into it directly or via local RPC. (Like the CLI also does)
Training/Program Search is treated as a first-class entity. If a session proves it made a verifiable improvement, it can push changes upstream as a simple “proof of useful work.”
Maybe, eventually, that becomes the economic loop: nodes trade training work for compute.
Right now, I’m focused on getting the whole stack booting layers, sessions, caching, and merge logic all cleanly flowing up and down the hierarchy.

In short:
Layers form the trust chain.
Sessions form the version chain.
Nodes and clients form the compute mesh.
It’s an insane idea… but it’s coming together.
Here is a rougher but longer version.
