AI Disclosure
How this specification was made, and by whom.
Summary
The mechanisms this claim is built on are Craig Ellrod's. Naming this claim as a member of the Proof of X family was proposed by Claude when he asked what claims beyond Proof of Efficacy Proof Protocol could adopt. He chose to adopt it. Claude drafted the words.
Craig Ellrod originated Proof of Efficacy, the Proof Economy, and the specifications this claim is determined from (PP-SPEC-078 (Jailed Canary), PP-SPEC-077 (Dead Canary)). On 2026-11-04 he asked what other "Proof of" claims Proof Protocol could adopt. Claude, an AI assistant made by Anthropic, proposed a list of candidates, including this one; Craig Ellrod directed that every candidate be written as a Proof Protocol specification. Claude drafted this specification at his direction.
