Web4 three-layer architecture stack showing Layer 1 Portable Identity solving WHO problem, Layer 2 Cascade Proof solving WHAT problem, and Layer 3 Causation Graph solving HOW problem, with arrows showing each layer enables the next

The Three-Layer Architecture That Makes Consciousness Verifiable When Everything Else Can Be Faked Every infrastructure stack in history succeeded or failed based on one question: does each layer solve exactly one problem perfectly? TCP/IP succeeded because each layer handled distinct concern: physical transmission, packet routing, reliable delivery, application logic. Clean separation. No layer tried to … The Web4 Stack: Identity → Proof → Causation

Visual representation of Web1, Web2, and Web3 architecture layers collapsing under entropy with Web4 emerging as causation-verified alternative

The Thermodynamic Reason Every Previous Internet Architecture Collapses Under Perfect Simulation Every version of the internet humanity built—Web1, Web2, Web3—rests on a single assumption that is now catastrophically wrong. The assumption: you can verify reality through observation. Web1 verified through visual and textual signals. If a website looked legitimate, displayed coherent information, presented institutional markers—it … Why AI Cannot Operate on Web1–Web3 Foundations
