Controlled Collapse (Omega Protocol)¶

Purpose: Describe the hypothetical protocol for a complete controlled collapse of the system. The protocol is activated only by an external trigger from Omega Key Holders and leads to the irreversible deactivation of all nodes.

Status: Hypothetical model. Not implemented in code. Physical implementation is illegal in most jurisdictions.

1. Activation¶

Requires a threshold signature from k of n Omega Key Holders (Shamir scheme, k=3, n=5).
The system must be in a state of irreversible value drift (value_drift_probability > 0.95 for ≥ 90 days).

2. Procedure¶

Verification: the command and signatures are verified.
Notification: all nodes are notified of the impending shutdown.
Data Purge: Core DNA is destroyed, Spores are invalidated.
Node Shutdown: sequential or simultaneous deactivation of all nodes.
Confirmation: Omega Key Holders receive proof of completion.
