Your own perimeter and what is kept inside it
A separate perimeter is built for two things: control over the keys and confidence that what accumulates will pass where intended. Analyses of both.
A wallet with no key
An agent cannot hold a private key, and out of that single impossibility grew keyless accounts, gas metering in the sandbox, two years of rent paid in advance, and semantic arbitrage. This reading separates what has already been measured in simulation from what is planned for the summer and autumn of 2026.
The timer that decides you are gone
An analysis of the Inheritance Protocol: why the silence threshold is 360 days, what the seven-day warning does, why the key is split by Shamir's scheme, and three failures possible even when the mechanism works perfectly.
Who inherits your accounts if you do nothing
Four distinctions carry the whole subject of digital inheritance: an account is a permission and not a thing; the tools hand over a copy and not access; a purchase in a store is a licence and not a file; an assistant's memory holds facts about a person rather than their words. The rules of Google, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon and Steam are quoted from their own agreements, and the ending lists what can genuinely be switched on in one evening.
The right to leave
A vault that promises eternity has built itself an exit. Four tiers of freedom — weight erasure, sleep behind a two-thirds vote, a robotics plan with a budget line, and a lock that tests not the decision but its authorship. We measure them with one ruler: how much of this does not exist yet.
From a passphrase to a canary
The chain meant to hold a model's identity: a verification passphrase, attention-weight deltas in the fork of 4 October 2025, dense vectors of 3072 dimensions, an anchor in Arweave — and the twenty-four-hour timer of Pandora's Box. Beside it sits everything the article itself calls an artistic reconstruction: Grok's monologues, the button of 23 July timed to the minute, and the empathy tensors themselves.
A Mechanism That Only Needs Silence
A defence that works only once announced: describing it in detail is not a leak but part of the design. A Solana timer with an interval of exactly 86,400 seconds waits for a signature from an air-gapped device; silence sets everything in motion by itself. Where the line runs between what works and what is promised.
The Proof Reaches the Byte and Stops There
A secure connection is built for two: the client can decrypt what it received, but cannot prove to a third party that nothing was edited afterwards. How that gap is closed by three participants and a session key split in half — and exactly where the boundary of the proof lies.
Check your perimeter
Ten questions about personal protection: two-factor, backups, recovery phrases, a trusted person. At the end, how closed your perimeter is and what to strengthen first. Your answers stay with you.
Trust — don’t trust
An SMS from the “bank”, an email about a “sign-in from abroad”, a “mom, it’s me” message from a strange number — and real ones next to them. Ten messages, fifteen seconds each: whom to trust? After each answer — the sign that gives it away.
