Its revisions, claims, sources, health checks, public ledger events, bundle hashes and deployment record can be opened. The coding-agent turn that produced the final revision also exists in the private ledger with the owner input, model identity, tool calls, commands and output hashes.\n\nTwo pieces remain incomplete. The first drafts did not begin with a contemporaneous inventory of every alternative considered, so some reasoning was reconstructed in later revisions. The thesis has also not yet been challenged by independent models working from one fixed evidence packet. Replay is no longer one of the gaps: the object now mints a public-safe delegated capability fixed to its redacted proof projection.\n\nCalling the article fully proven would hide those gaps. This object records them.\n\n## The difference\n\n| State | What exists | What the recipient has to trust |\n|---|---|---|\n| Work | A finished answer or state change | The producer’s account of how it happened |\n| Audited work | The answer plus checks selected by an auditor | That the audit covered the material questions and did not omit a decisive path |\n| Proven Work | The answer, its formation record, consideration inventory, completeness boundary, robustness record, surety statement, replay path and open gaps | Nothing inside the declared proof boundary; uncertainty survives as an explicit object |\n\nAn audit can inspect the output. Proven Work also proves the audit’s scope: which questions it asked, which evidence it opened, which evidence was unavailable and what would reverse the verdict.\n\n## PW-0001\n\n```text\nPROVEN_WORK_ID: PW-0001\nSUBJECT: The article “Proven Work: the primitive beneath the protocol”\nWORK_QUESTION: Can the article prove how and why it was made?\nVERDICT: PARTIAL\nPROOF_BOUNDARY: Observable creation, revision, publication and verification records held by the build\nOUTSIDE_BOUNDARY: Private model state absent from the emitted record; facts unavailable to the worker; external market demand\n```\n\nThe proof boundary matters. “Complete” cannot mean every fact in the universe or every activation inside a model. It means every observable piece declared necessary to reconstruct this work. A completeness claim is valid only after the required set has been named.\n\n## Result proof\n\nThe result is public at https://miscsubjects.com/a/proven-work.\n\nThe current article object is at https://miscsubjects.com/api/articles/proven-work. Its revision history is at https://miscsubjects.com/api/articles/proven-work/revisions. The downloadable object manifest is at https://miscsubjects.com/api/articles/proven-work/bundle?format=manifest. That manifest hashes each representation separately.\n\nThe current health audit is at https://miscsubjects.com/api/articles/proven-work/health. At the time PW-0001 was assembled, the page returned `ok: true`, eight claims, three sources, 32 proof edges, every constitution slot filled and zero issues.\n\nThese records prove that the article exists in a specific form and passes the article system’s declared structural checks. Commercial correctness remains open.\n\n## Mint the proof block\n\n`POST https://miscsubjects.com/api/proven-work/proven-work-example-one/drop`\n\nThat owner-authenticated action mints a fresh seven-day delegated token from the build’s existing capability system. It has unlimited uses during that period and is fixed to `GET https://miscsubjects.com/api/proven-work/proven-work-example-one`. It cannot fetch another URL or accept a changed body. The returned block can be copied into any model conversation. It carries the article, proof projection, token contract and receipt ledger, plus the instruction to return `SUPPORTED_BY_RECORD`, `MISSING_EVIDENCE` or `CONTRADICTED_BY_RECORD` with exact citations.\n\nT","ranking":"safety-first (interaction_risk/limitations), then quote-gated effective_weight","claims":[{"id":"c7","text":"The first specimen proves its audit verdict, but the subject article remains only partially proven until the public-safe proof DROP, contemporaneous consideration inventory and independent fixed-packet challenges exist.","tier":"limitation","section":"The repair that turns PARTIAL into PROVEN","slot":"limitations","interaction_risk":false,"status":"active","source_ids":["s1","s5","s7"],"retracted_at":null,"retraction_reason":null,"challenged_by":[],"effective_weight":0.1,"quote_gated":false},{"id":"c1","text":"Proven Work is the completed work plus formation proof, consideration proof, a declared completeness boundary, robustness evidence, bounded surety, replay and explicit gaps.","tier":"definition","section":"The difference","slot":"what_it_is","interaction_risk":false,"status":"active","source_ids":["s1","s2","s3","s4","s7"],"retracted_at":null,"retraction_reason":null,"challenged_by":[],"effective_weight":0.1,"quote_gated":false},{"id":"c2","text":"PW-0001 classifies the original Proven Work article as PARTIAL because its consideration inventory was reconstructed and its full raw formation record is not permanently open to a zero-context outsider.","tier":"audit-verdict","section":"PW-0001","slot":"who_claims_what","interaction_risk":false,"status":"active","source_ids":["s1","s2","s5","s7"],"retracted_at":null,"retraction_reason":null,"challenged_by":[],"effective_weight":0.1,"quote_gated":false},{"id":"c3","text":"The live article, revision history, object manifest and health endpoint independently establish that the article exists, changed through retained revisions and passes the declared article-structure checks.","tier":"system-evidence","section":"Result proof","slot":"what_is_known","interaction_risk":false,"status":"active","source_ids":["s1","s2","s3","s4"],"retracted_at":null,"retraction_reason":null,"challenged_by":[],"effective_weight":0.1,"quote_gated":false},{"id":"c4","text":"The recorded Codex turn binds the final defining revision to owner-input and assistant-output hashes, model identity and 11 tool calls;
