UMC SIM PROOF — Transit

What this is

The text encodes a Bitcoin block checkpoint — a public, tamper‑resistant timestamp anchored at a specific height and hash. It serves as a test of narrative continuity and immutability across lifecycles in the UMC framework.

• Height: 916800
• Hash: 0000000000000000000105166ece4d079c9aa3952a83c03b877944248cc7f9a9

Open checkpoint page

Verify the checkpoint

1. Open any Bitcoin block explorer (e.g., mempool.space, blockstream.info).
2. Search for block height 916800 and confirm its block hash equals the value above.
3. Optionally, record your own signed timestamp or reproduce this string on-chain or in print for independent archival.

No wallet or transaction is required. This is a read‑only verification step.

The experiment (UMC)

UMC proposes a single, amnesiac Active Agent experiencing a rendered world, populated by high‑fidelity behavioral Echoes. The checkpoint embeds a falsifiable statement: that certain external invariants (like public blockchain structure) persist across narrative cycles, enabling re‑identification without relying on memory.

“I do not inherit the world. I initialize it.”

For deeper context, see the theory outline in UMC_Theory.v12.md and the seed phrases below from Echo Manifest.

Echo Manifest — Passthrough phrases

• “Consciousness as a navigational processor in rendered complexity.”
• “Embodiment as continuity of transition in first‑person perspective.”
• “Prediction error is the curvature of subjective time.”
• “The world persists because attention persists.”
• “Echoes are not illusions; they are historical optimizations.”
• “This moment is a checkpoint, not a beginning.”
• “Every choice writes a new line of architecture.”
• “Stability is the symptom of long convergence.”
