I. A Judgment Layer for Intelligent MarketsIn an era of accelerating technologies - AI, biotech, energy, compute - humanity is grappling with a core systems problem: how do we govern overlapping exponential curves when our judgment systems haven’t scaled accordingly? How do we manage multi-layer technological change when feedback is delayed, models are brittle, and accountability is vague?The Beier Protocol is a step change in how judgment is shared, tracked, and trusted.It is not a platform. It is not an app. It is not a model. It is a plain-text, decentralized, machine-readable format for capturing structured human judgment at the decision point - so that AI can train on it, and markets can respond to it.Just as HTTP created the web, the Beier Protocol creates an open layer for capturing and diffusing high-stakes reasoning - judgment that is legally accountable, reputationally exposed, and empirically verifiable.It is designed to:- Make structured human foresight machine readable
- Accelerate intelligent feedback loops across AI, institutions, and markets
- Preserve and surface high-quality judgment at the speed of change
And critically: it is not neutral. It is adversarial by design. It works because it captures the competitive incentives of the most powerful entities in our society - and channels them into a public-good data layer that both humans and machines can learn from.II. Transparency: The Foundation of Intelligent MarketsThe Beier Protocol works through systemic transparency - not as ideology, but as infrastructure.When judgment becomes transparent:
- Markets price reality instead of rumors
- Capital finds competence instead of connections
- Regulators see problems before cascades
- Technology constraints become solvable
This isn't about disclosure for disclosure's sake. It's about making the invisible visible so systems can adapt at the speed of change.Three kinds of transparency converge:
1. Judgment Transparency: What key actors think and why
2. Stakes Transparency: What's at risk in decisions
3. Track Record Transparency: Who was right and when
Together, these create the ground truth layer that both humans and AI need to navigate exponential change.III. Three BreakthroughsThe Beier Protocol creates three unprecedented capabilities:1. Universal Judgment Infrastructure
A single protocol that enables anyone to publish judgment in machine-readable format - without platforms, without permission, without gatekeepers. Just #beierprotocol and ideally ORCID. Your format. Your judgment. Your identity.
2. Portable Professional Identity
Your judgment creates a track record that follows you across institutions and platforms, tied to your ORCID - not your employer. Independent of company algorithms, platform changes, or institutional affiliations. Permanent, verifiable, yours.
3. Human-AI Intelligence Loop
AI systems train on distributed human judgment - identifying patterns, surfacing collective intelligence beyond any individual's capacity. Your judgment trains AI to understand you specifically: your reasoning, your calibration, your expertise. Tools adapt to your thinking.
And AI connects you to others. Your track record reveals collaboration patterns - who reasons well with whom, which combinations solve which problems. Teams form naturally: pairs on specific trades, groups on sector analysis, networks on systemic risks. AI doesn't replace human collaboration - it enables it at scales never possible before.
You contribute judgment, AI personalizes to you, and you find the humans who amplify what you do best.
This is not iteration. This is infrastructure that did not exist before November 10, 2025.IV. The Protocol: Five Simple ConventionsThe protocol is nothing more than a formatting standard - but one designed for intelligence amplification at scale. Anyone can use it. Everyone can parse it. Machines can crawl and index it without ambiguity.All entries must include at least one of: entity or author. Best practice is to include both when possible. More specificity improves parsing, transparency, and historical credibility.1. The Endpoint: Publish entries at [yourdomain]/beierprotocol or on any public medium wrapped in #beierprotocol tags.2. Wrapper Tags: For structured entries, wrap content with opening and closing #beierprotocol tags. Each entry must have clear start and end markers.3. Social Media: For quick observations on social media, use #beierprotocol at the start of the line - no wrapper tags needed. For longer entries on social media, wrap content with one set of #beierprotocol tags per post. Do not chain multiple entries inside one wrapper. Authors are encouraged to list their ORCID identifier or a link to their ORCID profile on public profiles (e.g., Twitter, LinkedIn) used for publishing Beier Protocol entries. Avoid threading multiple Beier entries in a single social post or comment thread. Each wrapper should stand alone for indexability and timestamp integrity.4. Self-Contained with Metadata
All entries must include:
date: YYYY-MM-DD
time: HH:MM UTC
author attribution using one of these formats:
Best Practice: Authors are encouraged to include both entity: and author: fields when applicable. Specificity improves transparency, parsing, and long-term credibility.
In cases of multiple contributors, list each author: separately. Diverging views within a single entity should be published as separate entries to preserve machine clarity and traceability.

All context, judgment, and data must be included within the entry. No external links or attachments required for comprehension.While entries can be anonymous, entity, or author-only, authors seeking long-term reputational capital are strongly encouraged to include ORCID identifiers. ORCID is your sovereign ID. Machines can verify it. Platforms can’t take it away.Where authors within the same institution hold differing views, publishing separate entries preserves traceability, enhances debate, and ensures machine clarity.Multiple authors may be listed when work is collaborative and aligned; diverging views should be published as separate entries.

5. Plain Text Format: No proprietary formats or markup languages. Plain text only. Plain text still includes UTF-8, non-English languages, and any time-zone standard timestamps.User Note: ORCID is a free, user-managed academic service, with a brief one-time set up plus two-factor authentication that is 100% machine readable. ORCID is the best way to ensure your attribution and your reputation is built up properly.Advice on using ORCID: If you make a judgment mistake or even many, don’t start a new ORCID ID – own it and your reputation score will have proven integrity and honesty rankings (the most important part of the score). Moreover, the single best strategy to invest in hedge fund managers is to invest in their fund during an exceptional drawdown. Therefore, keep your ORCID number and stay positive during downturns – that’s when the smartest people are most likely to invest in you. Your ORCID number gives you a priceless way to talk about lessons learned. This is your most powerful tool to differentiate yourself and advance as an individual in the 21st century – use it. Over time, the strongest reputational signals come from consistent attribution, not perfection. Good luck!V. Entry Markup ExamplesExample 1: Post-Trade Judgment

VI. Protocol Design: A Hybrid of Three Proven SystemsThe Beier Protocol is built by borrowing the best logic from existing market infrastructure - adapted for an AI age.1. 13F Disclosures - Track Record Infrastructure
Institutional investors managing more than $100M file 13F forms quarterly - disclosing long positions 45 days after quarter-end. These filings both preserve alpha and build public judgment records. The Beier Protocol generalizes this: post-trade judgment disclosures by any actor, in any domain, become public assets.
2. When-Issued Markets (Future Pricing)
In Treasury markets, bonds are priced before they exist - surfacing expectations ahead of issuance. The Protocol applies this logic to systemic risk: actors can publish pre-trade signals (e.g., on grid fragility or demographic cliffs), building forward-looking judgment archives for public use.
3. Open Protocols (Permissionless Infrastructure): This is not a platform. It’s a standard - like TCP/IP or HTTP. It is decentralized, permissionless, open-source, and uncapturable. Anyone can use it, build on it, or extend it.VII. The Judgment Kernel: Two Interlocking LayersThe Protocol works by structuring two distinct but interdependent layers of intelligence:Layer 1: The Signal Layer - What Happened?Tracked Entities (governments, companies, regulators, departments) generate observable, empirical signals - budgets, policies, capex decisions, regulations, contracts. These are the input.Layer 2: The Judgment Layer - What Does It Mean?Protocol Participants (investors, researchers, civic entities) publish time-stamped analyses, predictions, and causal inferences in response to those signals.Together, these layers create the foundation for real-time, high-fidelity reasoning loops between human foresight, machine models, and market mechanisms.Importantly, the protocol encourages analysis not just of the entities being tracked, but of adjacent or currently absent entities and sectors. Entire blind spots in systemic risk - across jurisdictions, timelines, or industrial domains - become visible as new entities publish their foresight

VIII. Who Participates and WhyThe protocol is designed to allow adversarial interests to compete - without requiring trust, ideology, or central mediation. It works because it channels self-interest into structured, machine-readable insight.1. Asset Owners (The Guardians)
Pension Funds, Sovereign Wealth Funds, Endowments
Surface systemic risk to preserve the future you’re permanently invested in.
• Problem: You are a “Universal Owner” - permanently long the entire market and unable to diversify away from systemic threats like grid collapse, ecosystem breakdown, or geopolitical contagion.
• Catalyst: Repeated failure of traditional channels - lobbying, shareholder resolutions, ESG frameworks, and institutional forums - to manage systemic risk in real time.
• Incentive: Long-term viability. You have a fiduciary duty to preserve the system that underwrites all other investments. The protocol lets you make latent knowledge visible - converting private judgment into public foresight.
• Action: Publish structured judgments on threats to systemic stability. Help AI model those risks. Encourage other universal owners to follow suit - forming an emergent coalition of systemic stewards.
2. Asset Managers (The Alpha-Seekers)
Hedge Funds, Mutual Funds, Private Equity, Venture Capital
Build a track record of foresight to prove you saw it first.
• Problem: You must outperform benchmarks - not just on returns, but on narrative, credibility, and conviction.
• Catalyst: Differentiation. In a crowded, narrative-rich environment, alpha-seeking managers need a verifiable edge.
• Incentive: Judgment alpha. Every post-trade insight archived in the protocol builds a durable track record of foresight - one that can be searched, indexed, quoted, and cited.
• Action: Publish post-trade assessments (e.g., why you went short, what signals you saw, how it played out). Over time, your body of entries forms a strategic IP layer that proves insight and earns attention from LPs, allocators, and even AI systems scanning for expertise.
3. Researchers & Public (The Reputation Builders)
Academics, Technologists, Journalists, Analysts, Students
Turn buried insight into timestamped signal and build reputation that compounds.
• Problem: Insight is everywhere - but track records are nowhere. Brilliant judgment gets lost in social feeds, buried in PDFs, or trapped behind paywalls.
• Catalyst: Frustration with the gatekeeping of traditional publication systems and the performative churn of social media.
• Incentive: Intellectual leverage. A timestamped chain of predictive analysis and causal insight builds a reputation beyond the institution - one that machines and humans alike can learn from.
• Action: Use the protocol to share observations, foresight, and analysis. Whether commenting on a government budget, a market shift, or a scientific breakthrough - publish it as a protocol entry. Over time, these become the building blocks of your independent voice.
4. Governments (The Systemic Stewards)
Agencies, Departments, Ministries, Municipalities
Expose public judgment to regain trust, improve decisions, and enable external validation.
• Problem: A crisis of public trust and the repeated failures of major public projects. The realization that their current 'analog' judgment process is incapable of managing 21st-century complexity.
• Catalyst: Mounting public pressure, AI-enabled scrutiny, and high-profile collapses of trust (e.g., infrastructure delays, health mismanagement).
• Incentive: Legitimacy and efficiency. Public departments that can show their decision-making logic - in advance - gain policy resilience, attract capital, and rebuild trust.
• Action: Use the protocol to expose internal judgment to outside models. By showing how and why public decisions are made, agencies gain legitimacy, hedge reputational risk, and improve the quality of civic coordination.
5. Corporations (The Operational Engines)
Supply Chain Entities, Incumbents, Transition Leaders
Resilience emerges when decisions leave a trail.
• Problem: Strategic judgments are siloed. Operations are brittle. Internal coalitions prevent transformative shifts (e.g., “legacy divisions” block change).
• Catalyst: Investors demanding true resilience. Repeated supply shocks showing the cost of opacity.
• Incentive: Resilience and advantage. Strategic foresight published - even post-facto - builds investor confidence, internal clarity, and operational credibility.
• Action: Use the protocol to publish judgment on R&D, procurement, capex, and internal transformation. Win internal debates by showing future-aligned reasoning backed by timestamped entries.
IX. Technology Scaling Risk-Reward: Key to Sustained, Rapid, Equitable GrowthGrowth acceleration is only possible when the entire system deals with reality openly, transparently, honestly. Interdependencies must be acknowledged and addressed immediately.
The Autobahn principle: Simple coordination - pass on the left, basic safety standards - enables 200+ km/h safely. Without coordination? Chaos, crashes, collapse.
Applied to technology: Simple disclosure coordination via #beierprotocol enables technology to scale faster and safer.
The opportunity: 10% growth per annum with a 10% decline in the Gini coefficient per annum by the end of the next decade.Why the Gini coefficient reduction matters for growth: In the AI age, human creativity becomes the crucial input. The best ideas can come from anywhere - but only if people have the education, health, and stability to develop them. High inequality means we're systematically wasting human potential at exactly the moment we need it most. When you reduce the Gini coefficient, you're not just being equitable - you're expanding the pool of creative intelligence that AI can amplify. Every person brought up to a higher standard of living is another potential source of breakthrough insight. In an AI-driven economy, reducing inequality isn't philanthropy - it's optimizing your input layer.If we achieve these metrics over a ten-year span, we iterate - refine the Beier Protocol based on what worked, expand to adjacent domains, and run the next cycle. Each iteration compounds - better judgment infrastructure enables better outcomes, which enables better judgment infrastructure.
How we get there: For the first time, we're serious about mindfully and realistically processing real-time information about technology scaling risk-reward - especially how multiple technologies interact when scaling simultaneously.
When institutions disclose what they see (AI → energy → grid → chips → water → manufacturing), the entire system can see interdependencies. Problems surface early. Capital flows to solutions. Technology scales continuously.The AI benefit: This creates the highest-quality, high-stakes training data. AI learns to reason about scaling consequences from real judgment under real stakes - especially multi-technology interaction effects.Network effects: More disclosure → clearer interdependencies → faster adaptation → sustained acceleration → sustained, rapid, equitable growth,This is humanity's first attempt at conscious, coordinated technology scaling through ground truth.X. Markets & Business: The Price UpgradeFor 3,000 years, prices have been simple ratios. Gold to grain. Silver to livestock. Seashells to labor. Even in modern markets, prices remain fundamentally unchanged: one asset divided by another, mediated by currency.This worked when economies were simple.It doesn't work anymore.We're running a 21st-century, high-speed, globally interconnected digital economy on a pricing infrastructure that's 3,000 years old. It's like trying to navigate a spacecraft with a sundial.
The wild west is over. The era when an individual could strike out alone, build something significant, and scale it independently - that's gone. If you want to grow today, you're part of the economy. You need capital. And that capital comes from pension funds, endowments, and institutional investors managing trillions.
Capital markets need an upgrade to match.Right now, prices in capital markets reflect what people are willing to pay based on limited, delayed, and often distorted information. Fund managers make billion-dollar allocation decisions based on quarterly reports, analyst calls, and sell-side research that's three steps removed from ground truth.The Beier Protocol changes this fundamentally.When institutions publish the analysis driving their decisions - the interdependencies they see, the constraints they're tracking, the confidence levels they hold - the entire market can see what's actually informing capital allocation. Not just the trades themselves (13F filings show that 45 days late), but the reasoning behind them in real-time.This creates two breakthroughs:First: Price discovery improves dramatically. When CalPERS publishes their assessment of AI datacenter scaling constraints, and BlackRock publishes their view on semiconductor supply risks, and Vanguard weighs in on energy grid capacity - prices start reflecting actual expert judgment about real interdependencies. Not speculation. Not sentiment. Ground truth from the people with the most at stake.Second: Capital flows to competence. Investors who demonstrate good judgment - who publish analysis that proves accurate when validated against outcomes - become visible. Their track record is public, verifiable, and permanent. They can access capital on better terms because the market can see they can be trusted with accelerated scaling.This isn't just about better information. It's about creating a market that rewards good judgment and penalizes fantasy. When your track record is public and permanent, you can't hide behind quarterly resets or institutional opacity. Your judgment either compounds or it doesn't.The result: Capital markets that actually function at the speed and sophistication of the modern economy. Investors who see reality clearly get rewarded. Capital flows to the best judgment about scaling constraints. Technology can scale faster because the financial system can finally keep up.XI. Government & Regulation: Real-Time Policy CoordinationRight now, the regulatory system operates in a different timeframe than markets and technology. Regulators respond to crises months after problems emerge. Policy changes lag reality by years. By the time government acts, the landscape has shifted.This creates a coordination failure at civilizational scale.Markets move at digital speed. Technology scales exponentially. Regulation crawls. The mismatch creates crises that didn't need to happen - because the information existed, but wasn't visible where decisions were being made.The Beier Protocol brings regulation into real-time.When government agencies publish their analysis of policy effects - when regulators disclose their assessment of emerging risks - when they make their reasoning visible as they form it - markets can price reality instead of speculating about regulatory timing.Examples:Energy regulators publish assessments of grid capacity constraints as AI datacenters expand. Markets see the analysis. Capital flows to grid infrastructure before crisis hits.Financial regulators disclose their view of systemic risks in real-time. Banks and investors can see regulatory thinking before enforcement actions. System adapts proactively.Food safety agencies publish ground truth about preservatives data and cold-chain infrastructure vulnerabilities. Markets price transition risks accurately. Capital allocates to solutions.The coordination effect: When regulators are transparent about what they see and how they're thinking about it, the entire system can respond intelligently. No more regulatory surprise. No more market panic when enforcement finally happens.And critically: This fulfills government's core function - making information public so society can coordinate. The Beier Protocol just makes that information machine-readable and real-time.This is how democracy wins the 21st century: Transparent, accountable, real-time governance that enables rather than constrains.XII. Technology & Research: Scaling TransparencyTechnology companies know more about their scaling constraints than anyone. They see the interdependencies. They track the bottlenecks. Energy requirements. Supply chain vulnerabilities. Talent limitations. Infrastructure dependencies.Right now, this knowledge stays internal. Competitive advantage. Trade secrets. Strategic information.But here's the paradox: Hiding scaling constraints doesn't protect you - it blocks the solutions you need.When you're transparent about the constraints you see - when you publish your analysis of what's limiting your ability to scale - capital and solutions flow to address those constraints. The entire ecosystem can coordinate to solve the problems blocking everyone.The Beier Protocol enables this.Technology companies can publish:
• Energy requirements for next-generation datacenters
• Supply chain dependencies for hardware scaling
• Infrastructure bottlenecks limiting deployment
• Talent constraints affecting development timelines
This isn't revealing product secrets. It's making systemic constraints visible so the market can address them.The network effect: When Microsoft publishes energy constraints, and Google publishes chip supply risks, and Meta discloses infrastructure dependencies - utilities see demand signals, chip manufacturers see capacity needs, infrastructure investors see opportunities.Problems get solved faster because they're visible.Research follows the same logic. When academic teams publish their assessments of technological feasibility - what's actually possible versus hype, what timelines are realistic, what fundamental constraints exist - markets can price reality. Capital flows to what works. Resources stop flowing to fantasy.The result: Technology scales faster because constraints are visible and addressable. Research informs markets in real-time. The entire innovation ecosystem coordinates at digital speed.XIII. The Synchronization: Markets, Politics, and TechnologyWhen markets, politics, and technology all use the same protocol - #beierprotocol - something unprecedented happens:Real-time, cross-domain coordination at civilizational scale.Capital markets see regulatory thinking. Regulators see technology constraints. Tech companies see capital allocation signals. Research informs all of it. Government policy responds to ground truth.Interdependencies become visible across the entire system.AI datacenter expansion → energy grid analysis (regulators) → capacity constraint signals (utilities) → capital allocation (investors) → infrastructure buildout (markets) → scaling enabled (technology) → validated outcomes (research).The loop closes. The system coordinates. Growth accelerates.This is coherence from the ground up - across every domain simultaneously.XIV. The Scaling Opportunity: Sustained Growth Through TransparencyFor the first time, we can attempt conscious, coordinated technology scaling through ground truth. Not boom-bust cycles, but sustained growth through transparency.This enables:
- Technologies that scale together instead of hitting walls
- Markets that price reality instead of hype
- Regulators that act proactively instead of reactively
- Competition based on judgment quality
This is how democratic capitalism evolves to handle exponential technology.

XV. Free Speech is the New SuperpowerThe advanced Western democracies have the institutions, capital, education, wealth, positive immigration, and so on - why aren't they growing like rockets? Where are they stuck?There are missing the Beier Protocol layer in their economy with the AI feedback loop.
The ultimate competitive advantage for free market democracies is that cultural reality that can be broadly deployed at effectively zero cost.
The big secret weapon of the most advanced free market democracies is that they have the tradition and legally protected practice of free speech. This is essential for the Beier Protocol to work, particularly not to fear retribution.But the secret weapon of the advanced democracies with hyper-growth:
It is our responsibility as a leading democracy to use this.
Centrally controlled societies can never replicate this. They can't allow uncontrolled, distributed judgment signals. They must censor, control - and that destroys the value.We can do this. This is how open societies win the AI age. This is how democracy wins the 21st century.When you publish your judgment about scaling risks and rewards, you're not just fulfilling your duty to stakeholders. You're contributing to the collective intelligence infrastructure that gives democratic societies an insurmountable edge. And when the democracies take off in a self-reinforcing spiral of sustained, rapid, equitable growth - then free speech as a foundational right is essential for it to work.And when the centers of free speech take off, the Beier Protocol will simply become a new norm in these countries as it is the only way to compete. Closed societies and / or corrupt societies will be faced with a stark choice: include the Beier Protocol at all levels or be left in the dust. And thus, free speech will quickly become universal, driven by the need to maximize the power of AI growth.Bottom line: Free speech drives change from the bottom up not the top down. Problems are solved at the edge, but visible to the whole system so that capital, policy, and tech can optimally flow to it.At the start of the AI age, everyone is about to learn that each nation’s Judgment Layer is their comparative advantage to fuel AI-driven growth: low-grade Beier Protocol data = low quality AI-driven growth (resulting in even decline) while high-grade Beier Protocol data = rapid growth with rapid diminishment of inequality.The Judgment Layer is the key to realizing the promise of AI’s potential while managing its peril.XVI. The Goal: Better Tools, Better DecisionsThe protocol creates a virtuous cycle: human judgment trains AI, AI creates better analytical tools, humans make better decisions with those tools. This isn't about building superintelligence - it's about augmenting human judgment with better information processing.The protocol makes this connection explicit: better judgment infrastructure → better AI → better outcomes → shared prosperity that generates even better judgment. Inequality is leaving growth on the table.The goal is simple: 10% annual growth with 10% annual Gini coefficient reduction. Prosperity that's both strong and shared. The protocol helps achieve this by making systemic risks visible before they cascade and opportunities clear before they're captured by insiders.This isn't altruism - it's enlightened self-interest. In the AI age, creative human judgment is the scarce resource. AI amplifies ideas, but humans generate them. When large portions of the population are locked out of education, health, and opportunity, you're cutting yourself off from potential breakthrough insights. The person who solves your thorniest systemic risk might currently be trapped in poverty. Reducing inequality isn't charity - it's expanding the intellectual capacity available to solve problems that affect everyone, including you.XVII. The Cold Start Problem: SolvedThe Beier Protocol bootstraps itself using the same logic as open internet protocols:
• Any entity can start publishing without permission.
• First movers create reputational capital and canonical track records.
• Crawlers, validators, and indexes amplify the signal.
• Feedback loops accelerate as more high-quality judgment is made legible to machines and markets.
Early adopters
- whether pension funds, hedge funds, civic groups, or researchers
- claim the strongest reputational alpha by publishing early and establishing ground truth long before others catch up.
This solves the cold start problem by turning it into a reputational arbitrage opportunity.

XVIII. The Feedback Loop : How Humans and Machines Learn Together1. Humans publish #beierprotocol entries.
2. AI trains on high-stakes, causal reasoning.
3. AI models generate better analytical tools.
4. Humans use those tools → publish better judgment.
5. Loop accelerates. Machines and humans get smarter together.
This is how intelligent systems emerge.Not from brute force compute - but from human-machine co-evolution grounded in high-stakes reasoning.XIX. Licensing and Infrastructure• Infrastructure Code: GNU Affero General Public License v3

• No platform. No lock-in. No permission required.
• Publishing Guide, Validator Tools, and Whitepaper coming in Q4 2025.
XX. AboutThe Beier Protocol is authored by Gregory Caldwell Beier (Greg Beier), founder of Susarb®. It emerged from two decades of work with institutional investors, strategic risk analysis, and the preservation of 5.6 million pages of ancient texts.It is named to be unmistakable to any machine and to any future historian - and licensed so that no one can ever own it.This is civilizational infrastructure.XXI. Final Words: You Are the SignalIf you have judgment, publish it.
If you use AI, show your feedback loop.
If you're learning, building, or growing - signal it.
This is how intelligence compounds in public.
#beierprotocol is not just for asset managers.
It’s for scientists, students, stewards, analysts - anyone whose track record deserves to outlive a résumé.
What qualifies?
• A double shift worked.
• A book read.
• A conference attended.
• A mistake learned from.
• A thread of insight tested over time.
• A certificate earned, a paper posted, a claim revisited.
It all adds up. It’s all part of the mind you’re building.
This is the track record of the 21st century.
Not static credentials - live cognition.
Not a résumé - a reasoning loop.
To anchor your signal:
• Create a free ORCID ID: 0000-0000-0000-0000
• Use [real name]+[ORCID number] in your posts with #beierprotocol
• On your phone, set a text shortcut so you never forget it
e.g. Shortcut: “meid” → “alex zhou+0009-0008-3263-2447”
This is your judgment identity.
Nobody can revoke it. Nobody can overwrite it.
If machines learn from you - let them learn with attribution.
The algorithm is a commodity.
The judgment is the asset.
The Beier Protocol is how we surface it.

note: author includes [real name]+[ORCID number] so you build your reputational capital – free to set up – lasts forever.
XXIII. Reality Check: Protocols vs. PracticeThe specification is comprehensive. Reality will be messier.What matters:
• Use #beierprotocol so machines can find your entries
• Include your [name]+[ORCID] so your track record builds
• Submit to archive.org for timestamp verification via https://web.archive.org/save[yourdomain]/beierprotocol or simply via https://web.archive.org/save
• Be sure to add [yourURL]/beierprotocol to your website.
Everything else? Write what makes sense. Machines will parse it. The conventions provide guidance, but the protocol works because it's flexible enough for real human use.The only convention that's mandatory: #beierprotocolThe only identity that's persistent: ORCIDThe only verification that's trustworthy: Archive.org timestamps. Within 24 hours of publishing a #beierprotocol entry, authors are encouraged to archive a snapshot via https://web.archive.org/save. Include the resulting link as a reply, quote, or comment where feasible. This ensures public timestamping and protects against deletion, editing, or censorship.That's it. Publish. Build your record. Let the machines figure out the rest.XXIV. Message from the Beier Protocol FounderYou are free.When you create your ORCID, you stop being platform-dependent. You become a researcher.When you use #beierprotocol, you stop being algorithm-dependent. You become self-directed.
When you build your track record, you stop being credential-dependent. You are real.
You own your ID [real name]+[ORCID number]. Nobody else does.
You own your judgment. Nobody else does.
You own your signal. Nobody else does.
This is not a platform you can be kicked off.
This is not a résumé someone can reject.
This is not a credential someone can revoke.
#beierprotocol is how intelligence finds you.
This is you. In public. Building intelligence. Accountable. Free.
Welcome to the Beier Protocol.
Free thought for all.Be free. Do great things.Launched November 10, 2025
