None recorded.

The list above and the declaration below say the same thing; if they ever differ, the declaration is authoritative and the list must be corrected.

Declaration

Machine-readable form of the list above.

No known related work is recorded for this version. A file with no blocks records no known related work.

What this file is

RELATED-WORK.md lists other parties' work that bears on this specification and that its maintainer knows about, and states for each whether anything in this specification was drawn from it. It sits beside ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.md (credit for what was drawn from others), NOTICE.md (attribution others owe this work), AI_DISCLOSURE.md (who wrote it), REVIEWERS.md (who reviewed it), and FUNDING.md (who paid for it).

What it must accomplish

  1. Known, not derived. It records that the maintainer is aware of a work and, separately, whether this specification drew on it. Awareness is not influence, and this file keeps the two apart.
  2. Dated. Every entry carries the date the other work was first published and the date the maintainer identified it, so the order of events can be checked by anyone.
  3. Prior art. It is the per-repository ledger of known related work, available for any disclosure of prior art the maintainer makes.
  4. Ethics. The Proof Economy Code of Ethics (https://proofeconomy.foundation, published at https://github.com/proofprotocol/CODE-OF-ETHICS) MUST be followed, including accurate origin (Section 8.7). Where this file and the Code differ, the stricter rule applies.

Marker Lines Rule
[RELATED WORK] ... [/END OF RELATED WORK] Title:, Authors: (semicolon separated), URL: (https), First published: (YYYY-MM-DD), Identified: (YYYY-MM-DD), Drawn from: (Yes or No), Overlap:, Sections: One block per work. A file with no blocks records no known related work

Rules

  1. Drawn from: Yes means acknowledged. A work marked Drawn from: Yes MUST also appear in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.md. A work marked No MUST NOT, because an acknowledgement states influence.
  2. Truthful. Drawn from states what happened, not what would be convenient. A work is never marked No to avoid giving credit.
  3. Nothing removed. An entry, once made for a version, stays in that version's history. A later finding is added as a new entry or a correction, never by deleting.
  4. Markers. The markers appear bare, each on its own line, exactly as written above. They are not wrapped in comments.
  5. Humans and machines. A person reading this file and a program parsing the markers reach the same result.
