One diagram replaces pages of prose here: the architecture is best read as a layered stack (Consensus at the bottom, then Execution, Accounts, and Applications on top) with a set of cross-cutting concerns (post-quantum cryptography, zero-knowledge verification, and crypto-agility) that traverse every layer rather than sitting in any single one. This is deliberately not one linear top-to-bottom column: the layers stack, and the transversal concerns cut across all of them. diff --git a/AERE-BUILD-LOOP-SUMMARY-2026-07-19.md b/AERE-BUILD-LOOP-SUMMARY-2026-07-19.md index 3e1d4b7..a4f0bb6 100644 --- a/AERE-BUILD-LOOP-SUMMARY-2026-07-19.md +++ b/AERE-BUILD-LOOP-SUMMARY-2026-07-19.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ # Aere Network: Autonomous Build Loop Summary (2026-07-19) -> **Note added 2026-08-19.** Statements in this document that consensus on chain 2800 is (or remains) classical secp256k1 ECDSA QBFT were written before the post-quantum header anchor went live, and remain true for block-by-block finality.
