Version 1.0.0.1 "Fight like a Pacifist" (2024-03-21)

Developing this project has been a long, strange trip. I've taken clues and inspiration from so many different places, and the history of my in-the-moment thinking on these topics is not well-preserved. But I do have a few specific acknowledgments in mind.

First of all, I'd like to thank Lois T Clark for teaching me how to fight like a pacifist. I'd like to thank Joe Taylor (K1JT) for WSPR and the WSJT suite of amateur radio protocols. I'd like to thank the State of Indiana for providing me with a world-class public education. These lessons directly inspired the goals and methodologies of this project.

I'd like to thank Mike Dunn and Katalin Bimbo for trying to teach me relevance logic. While I still have no formal understanding of this topic, thinking about relevance was absolutely indispensable during this long development cycle. It helped me see through my own dubious ideas and justifications, it helped me modulate the goals and methodologies of this project, and it helped me make real progress on identifying plausibly-desirable design properties. In short, it took me to a design that I am so much happier with than I imagined at the outset of this project.

I'd like to thank David Doiron for introducing me to signals and the theory of communication via optics, and Yuri Goldfeld and the Indiana Academy, especially the classes of 1998 and 1999 for so very inadvertently helping me piece together some of clues that lead me to this result.

I'd like to thank Guo-Qiang Zhang and George Voutsadakis for teaching me about automata and the theory of computation, Dan Friedman and Amr Sabry for teaching me about programming languages, Larry Moss for teaching me about quines, and to David Singer for introducing me to number theory, RSA cryptography, and digital identity.

Finally, I'd like to thank the developers of HMAC, SHA256, PBKDF2, HKDF, and bcrypt for paving the way, Steve "sc00bz" Thomas and Soatok for sharing their valuable insights into cryptography with me, and Obsidian Systems for giving me opportunities to develop my skills in cryptography.
