This release (June 2026) is accompanied by a deliberately constructed, independently verifiable chain of prior art: - Public GitHub repository: https: //github. com/tallesbd/vertice-protocol (including this proofs folder) - OpenTimestamps Bitcoin proof (included in priorₐrt/proofs/) - This Zenodo record (persistent DOI) - Author ORCID: https: //orcid. org/0009-0003-7961-6966 - Author professional site with Wayback capture The purpose of this chain is to allow any researcher, regulator, or market participant to verify the state of the work at specific points in time without relying on the word of any single party. ## Recommended Citation Talles Correa Afonso (2022). *VÉRTICE Protocol: Foundational Primitives for Decision Surfaces in Illiquid Capital Markets*.
