Unchained 2022 has been an exciting experience to learn from pioneering practitioners in Blockchain Security. Please refer to the following repository for the reference materials used in this session.

Do you know that Verifiable Random Functions have a long history before being introduced in Blockchains? VRFs were invented in 1999. It was piloted in the Google Key Transparency project. VRFs are pioneered in DNSSEC and in Algorand Blockchain.

DeepSeek employs a specific Reinforcement Learning technique known as GRPO. It is an improvement over the PPO approach introduced by a set of researchers in OpenAI lead by Shulman and others in 2017.

Pipelining in consensus algorithms aims to improve the efficiency and throughput of distributed systems. HotStuff is a prominent example known for its efficient pipelining mechanism, allowing multiple phases of block processing to overlap.

Stablecoins are the sublime interventions of decentralised finance in the emerging spectre of radical and recurrent markets. They are poised to create nascent and novel routes of market momentum never witnessed in the past pathways of capitalism.

When we observe the new world order, it could be interpreted as the cycles of renaissance followed by revolutions and reformations, restorations and revivals. However there is a spiralling sequence of logic underneath. It’s more evident than ever before!

The journey from intelligent agents to rational agents is indeed an interesting one. Rationality involves distillation of intelligence into logical structures. Thus intelligence becomes a mechanism to achieve rationality rather than the other way around.

The year 2024 has been a year of profound change, a year of both promise and peril. As we step into the unknown, we must confront the challenges of this new era with courage and resilience.

I have stumbled upon the beautiful world of Markov Chains in my pursuit to understand the original pathways of diffusion probabilistic models powering stable diffusion.

A chess verse — where moves mirror the maze and mazes mirror order in chaos!

Qubits, the basic units of quantum information, are represented as vectors in a Hilbert space. Hilbert spaces and Cantor Concepts in Set theory have a lot in common. A journey into the foundations of vector spaces!

From an analytical viewpoint, we could interpret abductive logic as the mutual exclusion of inductive logic and deductive logic. Intelligent agents based on abductive reasoning could play a bidirectional role in the mesh architectures.

Introduction to Geth - the popular Ethereum Execution Client.

Ralph Merkle and Puzzle Powered Cryptography —

Lattice based cryptography is making inroads in multiple dimensions of computing. An article into the roots of lattice crypto system —

In a figurative language, we can describe logic as a system of lattice that unifies the fabric of objective and subjective reality.

Every time I delve deeper into the world of zero knowledge proofs, it takes me down the lane of beautiful concepts and constructions. Here is a compilation of concepts that I have curated for a creative conversation on the zero knowledge proofs.

When we explore the foundational framework of reinforcement learning we come across the seminal book - "The Hedonistic Neuron" by Harry Klopf. This book inspires us to think about a brave new world of artificial adaptive intelligence.

We have crossed a lot of barriers in engineering and economics in the march to artificial general intelligence. It is an important time for us to reflect on some of the fundamental questions. Are AI systems stable? Are they evolutionary? Are they ergodic?

Tokenisation is defined as the process of issuing a digital representation of a unique asset on a blockchain network. The story does not end there. The story does not begin there either! Tangibility of tokens need to be estalished throug economic means.

I have landed in the magical maze of systems biology in pursuit of understanding the systemic nature of social networks, radical markets, digital identities, centralised economies and decentralised organisations.
