Every unresolved claim should be able to name the work that could move it. These calls publish the proof bar, countercase, return, authority, and fulfillment rule before any contribution is judged.

How work returns
A contribution remains itself before it becomes ours
An exact candidate receipt preserves provenance, reproduction steps, requested attribution, and the strongest countercase. Acceptance is a separate typed human decision. Only accepted bytes move from the candidate store into canonical research.
Seed calls
Work with a declared proof bar
Seed means the question is specified; it does not mean intake is open.
call-normalize-existing-corpora
Adjudicate the remaining checked-in corpora
seed
Several checked-in sources remain inventoried but lack source-specific normalization and publication review.
The ask: Produce source-specific parsing receipts, raw-parent lineage, role classification, and separate privacy, rights, and proposition adjudication.
Proof bar
Every targeted source count reconciles to a deterministic normalized output or an explicit safe exclusion.
Normalization receipt
Disposition decisions
Typed proposition edges
Reproduce: Run the offline normalizer twice and byte-compare every output and receipt.
Strongest countercase
A parse can be reproducible while the source still lacks publication rights or factual support.
What returns
Accepted work receives permanent public provenance, requested contributor credit, and a public decision receipt.
Fulfilled when
The accepted receipt reconciles every named source and records each publication and proposition decision separately.

Benchmark full verification on ordinary and low-power hardware
seed
Block-weight rules are sourced, but validation, initial sync, reindex, reorganization, bandwidth, storage, and operator retention distributions are not.
The ask: Benchmark benign and adversarial workloads on priced low-power, household, hosted, and archival full-node classes.
Proof bar
The harness reproduces sync, validation, reindex, reorganization, memory, bandwidth, and storage results on declared machines.
Benchmark harness
Priced machine manifest
Raw timing and resource traces
Reproduce: Run the harness from clean state on at least two declared ordinary hardware classes and compare exact workload identities.
Strongest countercase
A small nominal block can still impose costly signatures, history, bursts, indexes, reorgs, or reindex work.
What returns
Accepted work receives permanent public provenance, requested contributor credit, and a public decision receipt.
Fulfilled when
An independent reviewer reproduces the workload identities and validates the declared resource traces and machine prices.

Challenge agent-v2 against retrospective, held-out, and adversarial regimes
seed
Agent-v2 has no admitted retrospective, held-out, negative-control, or adversarial challenge suite.
The ask: Build dated fork and test-network panels, predeclare held-out cases, and test timestamp manipulation, migration, collusion, outage, and capture regimes.
Proof bar
Preregistered retrospective and held-out tests report calibration, failures, negative controls, and reversal conditions without retuning holdouts.
Preregistered challenge set
Retrospective results
Held-out results
Adversarial countercases
Reproduce: Execute all result-bearing challenge shards from immutable inputs and deep-compare canonical result bytes.
Strongest countercase
A model can reproduce one historical episode through equifinality while failing a held-out regime or intervention.
What returns
Accepted work receives permanent public provenance, requested contributor credit, and a public decision receipt.
Fulfilled when
An independent reviewer accepts the preregistration, immutable inputs, full results, and disclosed empirical failures.

Collect exact hash-owner and economic-service commitments
seed
No launch manifest binds actual hash owners and economic services to one chain, effective time, scope, withdrawal policy, or abort condition.
The ask: Submit signed, attributable commitments that distinguish beneficial owner, facility, pool, service role, capacity, timing, withdrawal, and abort conditions.
Proof bar
Every commitment is authenticated, time-bounded, owner-resolved, role-specific, revocable under stated conditions, and independently countable once.
Signed commitment records
Owner and role resolution
Withdrawal and abort policy
Reproduce: Verify each signature and recompute coalition capacity and service coverage without double-counting owners or custodial claims.
Strongest countercase
Possible hardware, public enthusiasm, pool labels, and custodial assets are not committed honest work or economic service.
What returns
Accepted work receives permanent public provenance, requested contributor credit, and a public decision receipt.
Fulfilled when
Authenticated commitments reconcile by beneficial owner and role while preserving withdrawal and abort conditions.

No executable specification yet binds proof of work, DAA, limits, fork choice, replay, identifiers, split, emission, checkpoints, and emergency authority.
The ask: Write a versioned minimum specification with state transitions, test vectors, replay and fork-choice behavior, activation, failure, and withdrawal rules.
Proof bar
Two independent implementations accept and reject the same consensus, replay, fork-choice, split, checkpoint, and emergency test vectors.
Normative specification
Consensus test vectors
Two implementation receipts
Adversarial review
Reproduce: Run every normative vector against both independent implementations and byte-compare their declared state transitions.
Strongest countercase
Agreement on principles or labels does not resolve replay, tie-breaking, activation, checkpoint, or emergency behavior.
What returns
Accepted work receives permanent public provenance, requested contributor credit, and a public decision receipt.
Fulfilled when
An independent reviewer accepts matching implementation receipts, normative vectors, and the strongest unresolved protocol countercase.

Specify and test deferred security mechanism families
seed
Merged mining, non-outsourceable puzzles, weak-block rewards, emission, fees, and governance remain named but unadmitted families.
The ask: For one family at a time, provide primary sources, exact state transitions, historical outcomes, strongest failure, and an executable intervention.
Proof bar
Each submitted family isolates one mechanism, one historical or explicit unknown outcome, and one executable countercase.
Primary-source dossier
State-transition specification
Historical outcome review
Executable intervention test
Reproduce: Rebuild the mechanism record from primary sources and execute its intervention against an otherwise identical control.
Strongest countercase
A mechanism can shift control, create a new privileged actor, or merely rename concentration without reducing it.
What returns
Accepted work receives permanent public provenance, requested contributor credit, and a public decision receipt.
Fulfilled when
An independent reviewer accepts the primary-source record, isolated transition, executable control, and failure boundary.

Correct a represented living speaker's words or meaning
seed
The paper needs a direct executable path for a represented living speaker to correct attributed words, context, identity, or editorial meaning.
The ask: Submit the exact quotation or interpretation, source locator, identity basis, requested correction, and strongest ambiguity through the direct correction route.
Proof bar
An appointed represented living speaker or verified authorized representative confirms the exact correction disposition against a retained source locator and stated ambiguity.
Correction request
Source locator
Identity or representation verification
Reasoned disposition
Reproduce: Compare the retained correction artifact with the cited source locator and the signed human disposition.
Strongest countercase
An asserted identity, translation, context, or representative authority can be mistaken, incomplete, or contested.
What returns
Accepted work receives permanent public provenance, requested contributor credit, and a public decision receipt.
Fulfilled when
The disposition preserves exact submitted bytes, requested correction, speaker authority, source locator, ambiguity, and a separate editorial-admission boundary.
