Evolution * Knowledge = Time

A founder's note, published standalone, with a cryptographic birth certificate.

The axiom: Evolution * Knowledge = Time

Rearrangements: T = E * K · K = T / E · E = T / K

This note was distilled in human–AI collaboration and anchored before publication: signed with GPG, timestamped on Bitcoin (OpenTimestamps) and by an RFC 3161 timestamp authority.

Address: founders-note-2@sha256:70c56a23606b68cce440db3bd989ee2097af19f91f37f3dced2c0c131a1578b5

The address is content-addressed proof: the note's manifest, its GPG signature and their SHA-256 root. Anyone can verify. Nobody needs to trust.
