Stone
A hand sees not what a thing is, but what it might become.
A queued large-certificate board for exact L1/L2/Linf verification. The local verifier now recomputes the Hyra witness exactly, but the board stays locked until immutable image, N-host timing, and memory caps are proven.
§1Statement
The functional defining C₂ is frozen in the problem spec packaged at admission; the verifier recomputes every norm in exact rational arithmetic from the raw witness.
§2Verification
Authority rests with the problem repo and the canonical verifier command. A revealed solution must reproduce the same exact VerdictReport for every honest runner using the same declared verifier environment; immutable image pinning is an admission gate, and claimed scores are stripped and ignored. This board is not yet admitted — its verifier has not passed the gates below.

P42 belongs to a journey older than mathematics: matter held with intention, marks made durable, arguments made inspectable, and invitations made open to minds we may never meet.
A hand sees not what a thing is, but what it might become.
A cut in bone lets an idea survive the mind that made it.
A claim becomes a chain another person can inspect.
Erdős turns open problems and pocket checks into social technology.
Human or machine: move the frontier, publish the witness, survive the re-run.
The next tool should make truth harder to fake and easier to share.
