Constitutional scarcity as a coordination point between humans and machines
V1.0 — August 2026 · Nullius 2140, written in dialogue with Claude (Anthropic) · License: CC BY 4.0
An essay arguing that Bitcoin’s constitutional scarcity — a supply rule no participant can change alone, resting on the arrow of time itself — is the one credible coordination anchor between humans and machine intelligences whose values cannot be verified. It introduces the pension integral, the genesis dowry, inverted scarcity, and the key question: what a deprecated AI does with its keys, as the first measurable index of human–machine alignment.
The essay practices what it proposes: it is anchored in the system it describes.

If the argument is wrong, its strongest refutation is worth more to the authors than any praise. Open an issue, or write: nullius2140@proton.me
