Notes

Throughout my work experience I always write notes — sometimes on paper, sometimes digitally. This space is where I am uploading those field notes as I recover them, so the historical context behind each experiment stays accessible.

Topic

RQ-002 — The Circuit Model

Formalizes circuits as storage-agnostic state machines with composable events, rules, and privacy guarantees for distributed coordination.

Domain-specific rules + zk-friendly payloads let any stakeholder replay and trust the same event log.

RQ-003 — Traceability Tokens for Commodity Finance

Maps Brazilian soy supply chains to a token lifecycle anchored in GS1 EPCIS events, regulatory documents, and oracle committees.

RQ-004 — Fractional Farmland Access

Blueprint for combining Brazil’s PRA+CIR legal tools with digital distribution to open farmland exposure to smaller investors.

PRA-backed slices + FIAGRO/token rails create compliant, modular farmland deals without full title transfer.

Open ->

RQ-008 — DeFarm Identifier (DFID)

Specifies a canonical identifier namespace that bridges local farm IDs, global GS1/EPCIS standards, and regulatory demands.

DFID glues local LIDs to GS1/EPCIS + EU DPP, defining merge/split governance and resolver services.

RQ-010 — Business-Centric Cybersecurity KPIs

Framework of executive and operational metrics that quantify risk reduction, resilience, and program health beyond volume counting.

RQ-013 — x402: Payment Challenges for the Agentic Web

Analyzes how the x402 spec reclaims HTTP 402 to deliver stateless, per-request payments for browsers, bots, and autonomous agents.

Spec notes emphasize nonce/expiry, facilitator marketplaces, and richer proof formats for reusable receipts.

Open ->

RQ-014 — x402-K: Credential Challenges for Agents

Extends HTTP 401 into a declarative KYC/AML challenge so agents can satisfy compliance without persistent accounts.

Declarative KYC headers spell out predicates, methods, and grant TTLs, enabling stateless compliance retries.
