Subject: A Cryptographic Best Practice: Computational Bounds on AI Intent

Dear Professor Aaronson,

Your work in applying computational complexity theory to AI safety proves a vital underlying truth: software rules are insufficient; we must rely on absolute cryptographic boundaries.

The OHM NI Stack envisions solving AI security topics in a best-practice way where cryptography and physics provide a foundation for everyone to contribute. Through USPTO Applications #63/994,444, #63/997,472, and #64/1,997,472, we introduce Proof of Agent Work (POAW). By utilizing Merkle-tree validation, we cryptographically secure the intent of an agent before execution, monotonically increasing the computational cost of anomalous logic branches.

We are presenting this at the Planetary AI Safety Summit in Vienna this May. We wish to establish computational cryptographic bounds as the definitive Open Best Practice for AI security. We invite you to contribute your expertise and attempt to computationally bypass our sandboxed AEGIS cascade.

Sincerely,

Hagen Schmidt
