Disentangle: Topological Mass Consensus with Capability-Coherence Identity for Sybil-Resistant Agreement via Discrete Curvature
DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18671599
A permissionless consensus mechanism replacing proof-of-work and proof-of-stake with discrete curvature on transaction DAGs. Sybil attackers must route through bottleneck edges with negative Ollivier-Ricci curvature, which are automatically throttled — even a 5:1 attacker ratio yields only ~7% of honest mass. Uses exclusively post-quantum cryptography (ML-DSA-87, ML-KEM-1024, SHA3-256, Plonky3 STARKs). Topological mass is non-transferable: a structural property of coherent participation, not a token. AI agents participate under identical rules via decentralized identifiers with object capabilities.
