RFC 0.871 v4: A Protocol for Distinguishing Signal from Noise in Adversarial Information Networks

Problem: How do you distinguish signal from noise in decentralized networks where any node can lie, and colluding nodes can fabricate consensus? Existing approaches fail because they check identity (who said it) or popularity (how many agree), not structure (does the claim survive independent challenge). Solution: This protocol encodes a structural requirement derived from quantum W-state discrimination: every claim must pass through three independent perspectives (User, AI, Context) that form a closed referential loop (cyclic shift symmetry). "Truth requires three independent perspectives. The triangle must close." New in v4.0.0 (Jan 29, 2026): Production Cryptography: Full Ed25519 Elliptic Curve…
