A reviewer assessing these candidates is entitled to a statement of what would defeat them, and the twelve divide into three classes with different failure conditions.
| Candidate | Class | What would defeat it |
|---|---|---|
| Coasean dissolution; Liquidity Pool; Spence resolution and inversion; Premium Multiple | Constructive economic claim | A demonstration that the frictions persist under the mechanism, that credibility still requires cost, or that the mechanism cannot operate at the scale claimed |
| Quantum Privacy Cells; Quantum Genome; EasyAccess Authorization | Foundational computational primitive | A demonstration that the primitive does not provide the properties claimed, or that prior work already provides them |
| Deployment-level alignment; compliance as a property of computation | Foundational computational primitive | A demonstration that a contained agent can formulate a prohibited action, that revocation paths are not independent, or that verification requires disclosure after all |
| Ownership as the answer to displacement | Realized-impact claim | Non-adoption, or attribution proving insufficiently granular to assign ownership in AI-produced value |
| The Trust; transition commitment devices | Realized-impact claim | Non-adoption, or settlement volumes materially below the conservative case, since both depend on flows that do not yet exist |
The first two classes are checkable now and do not depend on adoption. Whether the frictions dissolve is a question about the mechanism, not about how many participants use it. Whether the primitives supply what is claimed is a question a specialist can settle by inspection. The third class is genuinely contingent, and is stated as contingent rather than asserted.
The paradigm itself carries a sharper test. Part I claims these six results follow from one body of theory rather than from six separate insights. That claim fails if the six formal correspondences set out in the companion provenance document do not hold — if Privacy Domains do not satisfy the definition of a manifold region carrying metric structure, if governance inheritance is not covariant transport, if the cascade does not satisfy the conditions distinguishing two-stage from single-stage assembly. Those are questions for differential geometers, physicists and biologists, they require no data and no deployment, and the author is not a party to how they resolve.
