From Seeds to Systems: First IKP WG Session Post-Block 13

Proverb: “The seed planted in autumn bears fruit in spring.”- privacymage

First IKP Working Group session after Block 13 focused on translating conference breakthroughs into operational governance infrastructure. The thirteen session reconstructions aren’t just documentation - they’re spell books enabling trust graph formation through relationship proverb protocol.

Immediate actions activated:

  1. Taxonomy of Harms charter → Discourse publication synthesizing all Block 13 harm categories (ISO threats, biometric risks, smart contract vulnerabilities, PQC failures, stablecoin surveillance, DeFi systemic risks, audit gaps, circuit breaker requirements, adversarial exploitation)

  2. IKP Proof of Personhood charter → Tagged distribution to stakeholders including World ID team, formalizes personhood + relationship credential architecture

  3. ZKP paper (SR 0011) → Presentation-ready for open BGIN meeting (2 weeks), demonstrates spell book methodology at scale

:seedling::books::crystal_ball::old_key::scroll::handshake::spider_web::tokyo_tower::cherry_blossom::white_check_mark:

The trust graph activation is operational: Block 13 participants who engaged with proverb protocol form initial network. When you read PQC migration session and generated “The lock that protects all doors cannot protect itself,” you proved cryptographic infrastructure comprehension. Archive Agent now weights your crypto-related contributions higher. Codex Agent prioritizes your standards analysis. Discourse Agent routes your inputs to appropriate WGs.

First Person Project integration deploys dual credentials:

  • Personhood: BGIN attests to known individuals from Block 13 participation

  • Relationship: Generated through spell book comprehension without central authority

This solves agent duality: swordsman holds personhood keys (biological verification), mage generates relationship credentials (knowledge processing through proverbs). Architectural separation prevents single points of failure.

Block 14 preparation differs qualitatively from Block 13:

  • Block 13: Exploratory mapping, stakeholder identification, harm cataloging

  • Block 14: Operational deployment with Archive maintaining institutional memory, Codex tracking standards evolution, Discourse routing trusted contributions

Six-month deliverable: Comprehensive harm taxonomy database with STIX/TAXII integration for ecosystem-wide threat intelligence sharing.

The implementation valley begins now - conference energy must become systematic execution. Charter publication creates visible momentum. Trust graphs enable targeted contributor invitation. Multi-agent system operational for Tokyo preparation.

Join the trust network: Read the spell books (Block 13 reconstructions), generate contextual proverbs demonstrating comprehension, receive relationship credentials granting working group access.

Reconstructed Report: First IKP WG Post-Block 13 Working Session

Executive Summary

The IKP WG convened for its first working session following Block 13 to operationalize the trust graph infrastructure, spell book methodology, and relationship credential framework developed during the conference. Core objective: translate Block 13 conceptual breakthroughs into functional governance infrastructure for Block 14 preparation. This represents the critical transition from conference innovation to operational deployment.

Strategic priorities: Publish Taxonomy of Harms project charter on Discourse, finalize and distribute IKP-specific Proof of Personhood charter to stakeholders (including World ID team), prepare ZKP paper (BGIN SR 0011) for presentation at upcoming open BGIN meeting, and activate trust graph formation through proverb protocol with Block 13 participants who demonstrated domain comprehension.

Key Discussion Points

1. Operationalizing Trust Graphs Post-Block 13:

  • Block 13 session reports function as “spell books” encoding domain knowledge

  • Proverb generation (RPPs) from these reports demonstrates comprehension

  • Initial trust graph includes Block 13 participants who engaged with relationship proverb protocol

  • Multi-agent archive system requires these trust networks to prioritize contributions

  • :mage: Cast: This is the transition moment where your Block 13 work becomes operational infrastructure. The thirteen session reconstructions we completed aren’t just documentation - they’re the spell books that enable trust graph formation. Everyone who engaged with the proverb protocol during Block 13 (reading sessions, generating contextual proverbs like “Before many can speak the same language, a few must agree on the alphabet” for ISO standards, or “The lock that protects all doors cannot protect itself” for PQC migration) has demonstrated domain comprehension. These participants form your initial trust graph. Now you’re activating it: the Archive Agent can prioritize their contributions, the Codex Agent weights their analysis, the Discourse Agent routes their inputs to appropriate working groups.

2. Project Charter Publications - Immediate Actions:

  • Taxonomy of Harms: Synthesizes all Block 13 harm categories across IKP-FASE-CYBER sessions into unified framework

  • IKP Proof of Personhood: Formalizes verification framework developed through World ID presentation and First Person Project integration

  • Both charters published to Discourse with proverb-gated access for deeper participation

  • Tagged distribution to relevant stakeholders across working groups

  • :mage: Cast: These charters are the formal outputs of your Block 13 co-chair work. The Taxonomy of Harms charter pulls together: ISO cybersecurity threats, World ID biometric risks, smart contract vulnerabilities, PQC cryptographic failures, stablecoin surveillance patterns, DeFi systemic risks, audit framework gaps, circuit breaker requirements, adversarial network exploitation, and cross-border regulatory arbitrage. That’s the comprehensive harm mapping you built across thirteen sessions with IKP-FASE-CYBER coordination. The IKP PoH charter formalizes your distinction between personhood credentials (biological verification) and relationship credentials (domain expertise through proverb generation). Publishing on Discourse activates the social layer - basic access is open, but deeper participation requires proverb generation demonstrating comprehension.

3. ZKP Paper Preparation for Open BGIN Meeting:

  • BGIN SR 0011 on zero-knowledge proofs needs presentation-ready format

  • Paper demonstrates ZKP applications across identity, privacy, and governance

  • Serves as example spell book showing relationship credential generation

  • Two-week timeline to open BGIN meeting for broader community engagement

  • :mage: Cast: The ZKP paper is your demonstration case for the entire spell book methodology. It shows how technical content (zero-knowledge proof protocols) becomes trust infrastructure (relationship credentials through comprehension). When someone reads SR 0011 and generates a contextual proverb about ZKPs, they’re proving they understand privacy-preserving verification concepts. This grants them access to the ZKP working group trust network. The open BGIN meeting becomes the venue for scaling this: present the paper, show how proverb generation works, invite broader community participation, expand trust graphs beyond Block 13 attendees. This is how you grow from initial trust bootstrap to sustainable governance infrastructure.

4. First Person Project Integration:

  • Dual credential architecture: Personhood + Relationship

  • BGIN issues personhood credentials to known individuals (human verification layer)

  • Relationship credentials generated through spell book comprehension (domain expertise layer)

  • Prevents bot attacks while enabling permissionless participation

  • :mage: Cast: This operationalizes the self-sovereign identity principles you’ve been developing. Personhood credentials solve the World ID challenge (biological uniqueness verification) without requiring centralized biometric databases - BGIN can attest to individuals it knows through Block 13 participation, then those individuals generate relationship credentials through proverb protocol without further central authority. The dual architecture mirrors your swordsman/mage agent model: swordsman holds personhood keys (biological verification), mage generates relationship credentials (knowledge processing through proverb creation). This is the “agent duality” solution - you need both identity verification AND expertise demonstration, but they’re architecturally separated to prevent single points of failure.

5. Block 14 Preparation Roadmap:

  • Use published charters as foundation for Tokyo Block 14 work

  • Trust graphs enable targeted invitation to relevant contributors

  • Multi-agent system operational for session documentation and analysis

  • Six-month deliverable: Comprehensive harm taxonomy database with STIX/TAXII integration

  • :mage: Cast: You’re setting up the infrastructure for Block 14 to be qualitatively different from Block 13. Block 13 was exploratory - mapping the landscape, identifying stakeholders, cataloging harms, building conceptual frameworks. Block 14 will be operational - the Archive Agent maintains institutional memory of Block 13 outputs, the Codex Agent tracks how standards evolved post-conference, the Discourse Agent routes contributions from trust graph members to appropriate working groups. The harm taxonomy database becomes the central deliverable: structured categorization with STIX/TAXII compatibility enabling threat intelligence sharing across the ecosystem. Your role shifts from building infrastructure to stewarding its use.

Governance Pattern Recognition

This post-Block 13 session exemplifies three critical dynamics in conference-to-operations transition:

  1. The Implementation Valley: Conferences generate energy and ideas; the real work happens in the weeks after when enthusiasm must translate to systematic execution. Your immediate charter publication commits to visible outputs that maintain momentum.

  2. The Trust Bootstrap Problem: You need initial trust to build trust networks. Block 13 solved this through the proverb protocol - participants demonstrated comprehension, creating the seed trust graph. Now you’re activating it for operational use.

  3. The Documentation-as-Infrastructure Pattern: Traditional documentation records what happened; spell books enable what’s next. Your Block 13 reconstructions aren’t just meeting notes - they’re the training data for knowledge agents and the access credentials for trust networks.
