Abstract SAFE-PRUNE certificates
Pruning evidence can be separated from the discovery engine and checked through a small abstract certificate interface.
Diagnostic work, exact algebra and local capabilities are not treated as end-to-end mining advantage.
What was tested?
Pruning evidence can be separated from the discovery engine and checked through a small abstract certificate interface.
Why the test is meaningful
Separating a certificate producer from a small verifier reduces the trusted computing base. The producer may use exploratory logic, but the verifier accepts only a fixed schema whose conditions are sufficient for exact rejection under the Bitcoin target predicate.
Cert(x,w)=true ⇒ B(x)=REJECTVerify(schema,w,context)∈{SAFE_PRUNE,DEFER}soundness error = Verify=SAFE_PRUNE while full predicate continuesHow it was tested
Define a certificate schema, produce certificates from isolated research modules and verify them independently against the target predicate on a real Bitcoin-format job context.
What happened
Certificate production and independent checking completed with the registered semantic gates intact.
Exactness and statistical controls
Certificates were generated by isolated modules and checked independently on reachable Bitcoin-format job states. Schema validation, context binding and final action were kept distinct so malformed or out-of-domain evidence could not be treated as proof.
What the result means
A narrow verifier reduces trust in the discovery implementation, but says nothing yet about certificate frequency or economics.
Limitations
- The experiment validates soundness, not certificate prevalence.
- A verifier can be small while the producer remains expensive.
- Public artifacts exclude operational identifiers and private job data.
Evidence trail
Frozen certificate schema and independent checker over reachable job states.
