The 2027 Verification Collapse: A 72-Hour Scenario

|
Crisis timeline showing 72-hour verification collapse across three institutions in December 2027 - university discovers 847 unverifiable students at hour 0, corporation finds 4800 unverifiable employees at hour 24, bank identifies 2.3 billion in unverifiable assets at hour 48, demonstrating simultaneous institutional verification failure when AI crosses perfect simulation threshold

When Three Major Institutions Simultaneously Discover They Cannot Verify Who They Hired, Who They Graduated, or Who They’re Paying Every verification method humanity uses today will fail within one AI capability threshold. This is the exact 72-hour sequence when universities, corporations, and banks simultaneously realize—too late—that they cannot distinguish humans from perfect synthetic identities. The … The 2027 Verification Collapse: A 72-Hour Scenario

The Web4 Stack: Identity → Proof → Causation

|
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
