DROPBOX-M1-001: First Permanent Mainnet Seed Drop — Patent Genesis Artwork Reconstructed Byte-Identically From a Bitcoin OP_RETURN by a Keyless Reader (SIP-042, Preregistered, All Gates G1-G6 PASS)
Abstract
SQUIRL OS RESEARCH DISCLOSURE — READ FIRST: This work was produced inside an AI-assisted, receipt-first research program (open-book doctrine: audit-and-correction, versioned amendments, append-only public ledger). Every claim is backed by a timestamped, publicly committed receipt trail in the four-horsemen repository. Errors are disclosed, not erased. Limitations are load-bearing. This software is a prototype and is provided for educational and research purposes only. It is not intended for production use, commercial deployment, or safety-critical environments. All systems are experimental and may contain defects. DROPBOX-M1-001: the first permanent mainnet seed drop. On Oct 18 2026, under preregistration M-DROP-1 (frozen BEFORE funding and broadcast, sha 95c322ea...785de), the 32-byte genesis seed of the Patent Genesis Series No. 1 artwork (filed provisional 19/693,343) was sealed into a 37-byte OP_RETURN on Bitcoin mainnet — tx 97d8cd38...a5b89, CONFIRMED BLOCK 972023, total cost 790 sats of postage. A keyless reader (no keys, no wallet, no signing) pulled the seed straight off the blockchain, and the canonical v1.1 generator reconstructed the artwork from that chain-pulled seed byte-identically (SHA-256 3c130d66...de69, MATCH). The artwork now exists nowhere except 32 bytes on Bitcoin mainnet plus the generator — permanent, reconstructible by anyone, forever. This record documents a working reduction-to-practice of the seed-mode architecture (dual-mode evidence receipts; prior technical report DOI 10.5281/zenodo.23448010): transfer-only storage (delivers, retains nothing), binary verification (DELIVERED (D2) or not), postage-only economics (no monetary output, no token, no contract, no counterparty), writer-side-only key custody, deterministic payload (marker || version || seed). All six preregistered gates passed: G1 BIP-143 vector-proven signing (byte-exact vs the official Native P2WPKH test vector), G2 broadcast, G3 block confirmation (972023), G4 keyless chain-pull (pulled seed SHA-256 81d4a5cb...c456c, exact match to the target frozen in the prereg), G5 byte-identical reconstruction from the chain-pulled seed, G6 on-chain payload purity audit (OP_RETURN contains marker + version + seed only; no PII, no credentials, no customer data). Dual Mesh Benchmark status: MEASURED (scoped) — DOI 10.5281/zenodo.23345241 (DeepSeek column); cross-engine expansion DOI 10.5281/zenodo.23348675. Anyone can verify, three ways: (1) browser — pull the tx and reconstruct the artifact in the public Genesis Viewer (deterministic-code-dsos.base44.app/genesis-viewer, hash 81d4a5cb...c456c); (2) examiner — run the included keyless reader and generator on the included chain-pulled seed; (3) skeptic — re-implement from the spec: fetch the block, parse the OP_RETURN, hash what you find. Trustless by construction.
