Papers

The Coordination Contract, in writing.

The full working paper and a ten-page short edition. Every number in them is computed by the code that runs the contract.

Read

Two editions, one source.

The working paper

The contract in full: its kernel, law and engine, voice and anonymous voice, justice, the protection pool, credit, the record anyone can check, and what is and is not claimed.

How they are made

Both editions are built from one manuscript. The figures in them come from the contract's reference implementation, and the build records the digest of the code and tests it was made from, so a paper that no longer matches the code is caught before it is published.
